Another digi scrapping in PSP tutorial for a beginner. And what is one of the first things we use as a new digiscrapper? Quick Pages! (Ok, we use them as we get farther along in our scrapping too, but they are great tool for those just starting out.)
Today, I have this quick page for you to use.
This quick page was made using parts of the soon to be released (Sept 1) Mega Kit from the designers at DSO, including myself.
Download the Quick Page Here.
**ETA** – All of the files I offer are in PNG format (or jpgs if it is a paper) so it should be compatible with PSP and PS programs. I’m not sure about the other programs, but if you can use a PNG, you should be able to any of my files. You should be able to use anybodies’ files here at SYAO unless otherwise specified as a special file. I hope that helps!
Let’s start by opening your QP (Quick Page) and the photo you want to work with.
(Images are clickable to see settings up close)
On a quickpage that doesn’t have anything in the area where you would put the picture, you can use your magic wand with these settings to select:
If you have more than one spot to put a picture, you want to tick the little box that says contiguous. That way it won’t select all of the opaque sections of the page.
If you have one like this, that has things over the picture spot, you are going to want to use your lasso and select a rectangle, a little bit outside of the actual box where you are going to put the picture.
See This Image for an example of that – I didn’t put the image here in the tutorial as it’s basically the same thing, just a different way of selecting.
Now, you are going to want to click on your picture to make it active. Then right click at the top and copy (or CTRL + C – I suggest learning the keyboard shortcuts. It makes things so much easier!).
Go back to your quick page and either right click on it in your layers palette and create new raster layer or follow the image below.
If you followed the image, you will now see this:
Click Ok
On your layers palette where you have the new layer, drag that below your quick page layer.
Right click on the top of your image, paste, paste into selection
Now your quickpage looks like this:
At this point, I resized my image so that the ric rac wasn’t directly over a important part of my son’s face. If you need to do that, go to the top, image, resize, and I used 120%, all layers UNchecked. Then I moved it around so it would fit a little better.
You also want to make the quick page your own, add some journaling, some other elements. Make it so it reflects you and your style! I never leave a quickpage the way I get it. I don’t want it to look exactly like everyone else’s who might have gotten that QP also.
Ok, I didn’t actually put a lot on this one, but it’s a sneak peak of the Mega, can’t give it all away now can I? LOL
Hope this tutorial helped you out! Have a great day!
