If You Are New to Digital Scrapbooking, Start Here!

Welcome to this exciting hobby! You will need a graphics program to create digital layouts. There are three major programs that most people use. Adobe Photoshop has the most features, the biggest learning curve, and the highest price tag. Photoshop Elements has many of the same features, is easier to use, and is cheaper. Corel PaintShop Pro is the least expensive, and the least versatile, but also simple to use. We have a tutorial by Designer Cilenia Curtis for beginners using her free  Sometimes Mini Sampler  that you can download for free here . It is written for Photoshop, for which you can download a free trial version here . You might also find our Beginner Tutorial section helpful, as well as the rest of the tutorials we have for specific software, including a large video section for visual and auditory learners. Feel free to ask questions here in our forum and we love to see your finished pages in our gallery !
