Hey you talented Girl! You know, I felt the same way when I saw all those tutorials. I was like "holy CATS!...I need to go back to school and get another degree!!!"

BUT...once I got into even the first one "Getting Started with ACDSee Photo Manager", I really got to know some of the workings of the program. From there, I was eager to see what else it could do!

As for keeping your kits together....personally, I REFUSE to separate my kits! In my bad-addled brain, they are identified by kit name and color. I was delighted to see that the FIRST thing that above-mentioned tutorial did was to organize and identify all your PREVIEWS. This, in turn, leads you to the kits they represent. From THERE, you can choose to label each element/paper by color, type, etc.

I loved how I could import category lists that seasoned veterans of ACDSee have already made! It's like all of the hard brain-poking work was already done!

Another thing I liked about these tutorials is that they are scrapbooking-specific, AND they deal with one of the most important issues that we face when we digi-scrap...being able to credit the designers of the elements we use. So they go to great lengths to show you how to label those kits correctly, and also how to keep track of elements you are using, if you work between different kits, like I sometimes do! I thought that was COOL!

So...the first thing I did was go through and find all my previews and categorize them. Heck, that's as far as I got with PSE Organizer before it died on me! Now I'm going through and adding Kit name and Designer name. It'll take me a couple days or so to get everything done, but it's addictive. Once you start, you don't want to stop!
