Perfect Timing!

As you can see from my previous post I have converted to ACDSee’s Photo Editor. Even though I’ve been using Photoshop 7 for years, I’ve only been digiscrapping for one year and I’m still a beginner when it comes to learning the tools and techniques of digital scrapbooking in Photoshop. And I doubt I will ever have the kind of income that would allow me to upgrade to a newer version! But here I am, one week into the Photo Editor learning curve making pages with blended photos, extractions, and almost everything else I’m accustomed to doing on my pages. I love the image basket and the way I can drag multiple copies of something from the basket to my workspace. I love how easy it is to put all the letters needed for a title from an alpha set into the basket, drag them to the workspace, line them up how I want them, make a group, then recolor the whole thing all at once. I usually didn’t even mess with alpha sets in Photoshop. It would take hours to make a stamped-looking title and getting it all colored just right. I usually just resorted to using a font at 150 point or so. But I’m using my ACDSee Photo Manager to browse through all my long-neglected alpha sets with new enthusiasm! And on top of all of this fun, there’s now a contest! So expect to see more pages accomplished…each one earns me another entry in a drawing for a Photo Manager upgrade, my full Photo Editor registration code, or possibly both programs plus a Kodak 3-in-1 Printer! Boy that would be really sweet sitting here next to my Kodak Easyshare Camera! Everyone wish me luck…and if you’ve never tried doing your scrapping on the computer because Photoshop is just too intimidating, give Photo Editor a try…and check out the tutorials at Digiscrapinfo.
