never hurts to ask.... has anyone found a work around that will allow DIP to open psd files as layers? I'm new to digital scrapbooking and have a lot of psd templates that I downloaded before I figured out DIP doesn't open them with layers. I've read the tutorial on using them flat but it is so much easier if they're layers.

kimlizzy, if you are reading this I just want to send you a great big THANK YOU! I found your blog today and I'm so grateful to have found a place to learn about digi scrapping in DIP and I'm so thankful for the freebie templates you post! You and shelleyrae have a great blog, as of today it has become one of my 'daily reads'

Thanks Cheryl. Glad you found our blog. As for the PSD files, nope, you can't open them layered in DIP. If you have PS and only know the basics like myself, you can save each separate layer as PNG and then open them in DIP. Otherwise you're stuck with the method in my tut or as an alternative, you can "insert shape" and match them up with the flattened PSD file. This works fine for standard shapes but not so easy with more complex sketches.
