Can you please tolerate one more digi question?

[lck33]

Okay so maybe not one more but I have photoshop elements 5 and have started to download freebies and one kit in particular. They download directly into my downloads folder as a zipped file. Now what do I do to get them into the background section of my photoshop? Does this even make sense ? I tried playing around with it last night and unzipped the folder and extracted the <photos> into my photo area then selected them and choose create and was able to manipulate them to look like a page? Does that even make sense? I am so confused? Is there a manual I can buy to teach me? I love paper but the look of the digital pages blow me away! I want to learn!!

Thanks so much in advance for all your help!

I have photoshop 6, but I'll attempt to help you. Digi is so much easier I think!

Just open a new photoshop project (a blank one).

Then just start file/opening all those individual elements - say you open 3 pieces of paper.

They will probably open in 3 separate windows.

So now you have 4 windows open - your original (blank) project and 3 pieces of paper.

Drag the paper into your blank project and start scrapbooking!

Elsie - Be sure to check out the Digi Scrapping FAQ sticky at the top of the page. It has loads of great info. I don't use Elements but here's one of many, I'm sure, tutorials out there.

It won't take long before you get the hang of it and we'll be seeing your layouts in the digi thread!
