Hi Lisa and welcome to SBB!

You are going to love digital scrapbooking and PSP is a wonderful program in which to do all of it!!
We have pages and pages of tutorials for PSP, also be sure to stop by the PSP forums and just holler if you have any questions or just want to start a topic!!

Which version of PSP are you using?

Hi thanks for the warm greetings.

I currently use PSP 8 but I'm thinking about purchasing PSP X....not sure yet, I'm so use to PSP8 though.

So quick question..?

Is making a Digi Scrapbook sort of like making a signature tag?
Cause I can make those

Tracey R (Haley64) · #4 (**permalink**) 05-25-2006

LOL I honestly have never made a signature tag!! The one thing I know that is different however is the size that we work at. Where sigs use very small graphics, brushes, tubes, papers @ (72ppi) for web, we use very large high print quality (300ppi) papers, brushes, elements.
So one thing you might find is that your computer is going to really bog down if you don't have enough ram, processor speed, memory and storage space!!

I am assuming that sig's are made and created on multiple layers right? If they are, then yes it is just like scrapbooking, almost everything goes on it's own layer so you can adjust as you need to of course.

Hopefully this helps you a little!! LOL

lol....umm so I was messing around tonight and this is what I made.....It kinda looks like a scrapbook page I think !

Tracey R (Haley64) · #6 (**permalink**) 05-25-2006

Very nice and yes it does look a lot like a scrapbook page! LOL Now is that a sig or is it a full size LO?

What a nice looking couple..!!
Now did you know that you have your very own gallery where you can upload your LO's to SBB? What is nice about doing this, is you will get more comments about your LO from other members who do not live in the forums (like some of us).

Here is a tut for how to upload to your gallery http://scrapbook-bytes.com/cgi-scrip...icle_306.shtml this page also has a link to PSP for how to resize your LO for the web, if you need it!!

nice lo
welcome

ArmyWifeRabbit · #8 (**permalink**) 05-26-2006

well originally it was a sig tag. I started off with a 500x500 pixel canvas..but it was on a 200 resolution canvas as well. I could bump it up to 300 resolution I guess. Does that mean that the picture will show up better? I guess I will look into it more...still getting the hang of PSP ya know!

But I appreciate all the help you have provided so far..and I'll be talking with you more!

And thanks for the nice comment McMartian..I'm gonna try to learn more things and hopefully be able to post more pages!
