Digital Scrapbooking Techniques and Tutorials

PersnicketyPrints — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 00:22:40 CST

One of the key factors to whether your digital picture looks good when it is printed is its resolution. Resolution simply means how many pixels, in other words how many dots, are in your digital photo. If the resolution is very high (i.e., there are many dots), the picture will look crisp and sharp. If the resolution is low, it will look jagged and rough, especially at large print sizes. All things being equal, a digital camera with more pixels will produce pictures with better resolution than a camera with less pixels. A 1 mega pixel camera means that the camera records 1 million pixels or dots per picture on its highest quality setting. Be aware that if you change your camera's settings to allow it to hold more pictures on the memory device, you may be reducing the number of pixels per picture, thereby affecting the quality when you print your photos. The better the resolution, the larger the file size generally is. Larger files can clog email boxes and take a longer time to download from a web site. As a result, many pictures you see in emails or on non photo-related web sites are often scaled down to a low resolution that is not suitable for high quality prints. If you are using our online photo ordering system, we will tell you if a picture does not meet our suggested resolution standards. When you add an image to our shopping cart, we tell you if the image is OK to print at that size or not. If the quality is going to be questionable, you can get more details about why the resolution is less than what we suggest.

Love Your Layers from Scraps of Mind

In my opinion, the absolute best feature of photo editing software like Photoshop, Photoshop Elements (PSE) and Paintshop Pro is the Layers Palette. Working with layers gives you so much flexibilty to try different elements on your layout design without accidentally ruining another area of it. So for those who are just getting used to layers in their life, here’s Ten Top Tips to help you love your layers (note: this is PSE oriented but the principles are the same for all editing software, you just need to translate the appropriate function names and locations).Read the rest of this entry

The Visual Triangle from Scraps of Mind

Three is my absolute favourite number in Scrapbooking! Most of my layouts are created using the ‘Visual Triangle’ principle. This means placing the elements in a triangle around the layout. I like to do this especially with my embellishments as it creates a virtual boundary for the eye, linking all the layout elements together.

Printing your Digital Layouts from Scraps of Mind

I don’t know about you but I’m an old fashioned girl. I like to be able to touch my scrapbook pages in printed form. Looking at them on the PC screen just doesn’t do it for me. I’m sorry, until they’re printed out they’re just not real. But I don’t want to go to the trouble and expense of taking my 12×12 inch layout files to a professional printer to get it done. I want instant gratification. However, as is the case with most of you I expect, I only have a regular A4 or Letter width printer.

Upsizing your Photos from Scraps of Mind

When I first got my digital camera I knew zippo about the importance of resolution and what the real difference between the ‘good’ quality setting and the ‘best’ quality setting was, other than that I got more photos in the camera memory if I kept it on ‘good’ rather than ‘best’. And when I uploaded the photos on the computer they were at 72dpi but they were 18″ wide. That’s way too big , I thought. So I resized them to something more sensible, BUT not understanding the mysteries of dpi, I left the resolution at 72 dpi. Then, compounding my ignorance, I saved over the top of the original file. Is this starting to sound familiar to any of you?

Rule of Thirds and Z Movement from Scraps Of Mind

Pulling together a design for a scrapbook layout can sometimes be quite challenging. Working out how to combine all the elements on your page to create the best effect doesn’t always come naturally to me and perhaps some of you struggle with it too sometimes. So I thought I’d take a moment today to return to basics and talk about a couple of key design principles in scrapbook layout design: the Rule of Thirds and ‘Z’ Movement.

Haiku Kudos from Scraps of Mind

A couple of months ago I posted an article called Haiku Heaven which discussed the haiku as a great poetry form and a really useful technique for journaling. I invited readers to add their own haikus to the comments page and got some fabulous responses. I thought maybe it was time to bring these great examples of the haiku poetry form out from behind the curtain of the Comments page and into the light of the Scraps of Mind front page. So here are these wonderful contributions; mostly from people who had never done this before.

Blending your own Backgrounds From Scraps of Mind

One of the joys of Digital Scrapbooking is the mileage you can get out of your digital scrapbook elements. Not only do you have the luxury of being able to use the same element over and over again on many different layouts, but you can also change it’s size and colour as well, to vary the look. But one of my favourite techniques is blending. By blending two or more papers together, for example, you create a completely different look that’s totally unique to you. As someone who is not a designer, I find this a huge buzz and I highly recommend it to all digital scrapbookers. And the beaut thing is…it couldn’t be easier to do. Here’s how (the instructions are for Photoshop Elements but the principles will work in any good photo editing software): Read the rest of this article.

Printing Digital Scrapbook Pages

Why should I print my pages:

What good is your pages if they are only on your computer? What do you do when you lose your hard drive? True Photo Paper is 100+ years archival, acid free, and won't fade! It is even scratch resistant & water proof!

I like to look back at my pages in my albums. If you would like to do hybrid pages, you need to get them printed to finish them up.

Things to consider:

Archival Quality Printing should be an important consideration when you decide to print. If you think you shouldn't print...you may think otherwise after you review the following resources in ScrapQuick.com's digital scrapbook printing articles:

Digital Scrapbook Printing

PersnicketyPrints — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 14:29:06 CST

Whet her they are printed at a lab or at home,

be sure to print and store your digital photographs for your whole family to enjoy!

Should you print your own digital photographs at home, or take them to a photo lab to be printed? Which will look better and last longer? Is it cheaper to print your digital photographs at home or take them to a store? After working in a photo lab for five years, and owning a great Canon 6-ink tank color printer, I have tried both methods many times. This article will give you a side by side cost, quality and convenience comparison of making digital prints both at home, and at a photo
lab.

The Cost of Digital Prints

If you choose to print your digital photographs at home, you will need to make a few initial investments, including a good quality photo printer. Depending on the brand, size and style of printer, you could spend from $100 on up on your printer. My Canon printer requires 6 colored ink tanks, and to replace each tank costs $10-13. You can print on typing paper, but photo quality paper will produce much nicer looking images. Expect to spend approximately .20-.50 per 4x6 piece of good quality photo paper. Then, add in a little cost for your time to sit and work with the printer to make the prints. How much is your time worth? If you choose to have your digital images turned into prints at your local photo lab, you can expect to pay .15-.29 per 4x6 picture. Remember to add in a little cost for your time to travel to the photo lab to pick up your prints. Most photo labs now offer online services that allow you to upload your digital files from your home computer to the store's website, eliminating a trip to the store to drop off your prints.

The Quality of Digital Images Printed at a Lab

The quality of digital prints made at a photo lab can vary. There are two types of prints that you could receive. The first are ink jet prints. If you sit down at a work station at a store, and the pictures are printing out as you work, they are printed on ink jet paper with ink. These prints may look nice, but they are not archival and will fade over the years. If you spill liquids on them, it will cause the ink to bleed. Also, these are raw prints, usually without any color corrections applied. Sometimes the vibrancy and colors aren't very saturated, and the prints look dull. The other type of prints made at photo labs are silver halide based prints. These prints are processed through the same chemicals as your good old film pictures, and are archival. Since it is completely a chemical process, there's no ink to run or bleed. These type of prints will last hundreds of years if stored properly in acid free photo albums and in photo frames away from direct sunlight. Since the printing of this type of photo is controlled by the lab staff, color corrections can be made to the prints. The lab is able to make your pictures lighter, darker and improve the color saturation. {persnickety prints pro lab}

The Convenience of Digital Printing

Both printing at home, and at a photo lab, are convenient. At home, you can print in the comfort of your pajamas at any hour of the day. At a photo lab, you can drop off your order in person, or via a web upload service, and have the staff do the actual printing process for you.

ksharonk — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 05:03:10 CDT

Biography: I am a reformed paper scrapper, who saw the light about six years ago, and moved into digital scrapping with delight and enthusiasm. I think of myself as a 'simple scrapper', as I scrap with emphasis on letting my photos shine on my page, and enjoying lots of white space. I have been designing for about two years now.

Scrapping tools: PSC4

Inspiration: I am inspired by everything around me, displays in shop windows, magazines, labels on products, advertisements, digi galleries, good photography. I love surfing at random through cyberspace too, lots of inspiration there.
