HIYou can use pretty much any graphics programs to make your pages. Most digital designers , me included, graphics are in .PNG files (transparent backgrounds) and .JPG format - which is usually used for the 12x12 papers. They are usually made in 300 DPI so that you can also print them out to use with your traditional scrap pages.I have both Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro but I tend to use Paint Shop Pro as I feel you can do more in that program, plus it's wayyyy cheaper than Photoshop, lol. You can find a great digital beginners tutorial here: http://www.digitalscrapbookplace....versity/Scrapping101/basics.shtml Hope all this helps! |

So I have been playing really hard with my new paint shop pro the last couple of weeks!
I have created a few layouts, I have only printed them in 8x8 though as dont have the 12x12 printer. What do you think?

Awesome!You've done a great job on both of these layouts, I really like them. How do you like the PSP program? If you are looking for tutorials on using Paint Shop Pro I have some on my other website, you can find them here: http://www.unicorndesigns.ca/tutorial.htmIf you do a Google search you can find lots of great sites with other PSP tutorials. |

I am actually really enjoying the program I am still on my free trial so I dont know if buying the full version will unlock any secrets! But the program offers tutorials aswell as you go along! It was a little overwhelming opening it up for the first time!
I will check out the tutorial sites you have given me! The pages are looking great in the chatterbox albums I purchased!!!! |

Glad to hear that..I just love the scarlet color albums, I'm hoping to get more of these in the 12x12's.
