Digital Scrapbooking - 7 Tips for Beginners

So you have decided to enter the world of digital scrapbooking? There are several great programs for designing digital scrapbook pages. Some of the popular ones are Photoshop, Photoshop Elements and Paint Shop Pro. There are also many other programs specifically for scrapbooking. If you have recently started digital scrapbooking you may feel completely overwhelmed when you load your program but don’t worry with a little patience and practice you can learn how to digital scrapbook.

Here are seven tips for digital scrapbooking beginners.

1- Learn how to crop and resize proportionally. The biggest mistake I have seen with beginners is resizing pictures disproportionately. When you crop or resize your photos you don’t want your photos to get distorted. Tip for Photoshop : Hold down the shift key as you resize and it will keep your photos proportional. Tip for Paint Shop Pro: Hold down the alt key as you drag the corner and it will keep your photo proportional.

2- Learn how to use the layer palette. Learning how to work with layers is the hardest part of learning how to digital scrapbook. Start with working on small projects with just a few layers. Practice moving each layer in front or in back to get the hang of things. If you are using Paint Shop Pro you can just click on the layer to select it. For some people Paint Shop Pro is an easier program to start off with because it is easier to select the layers and move them around. If you are using Photoshop, you will need to look at the layer palette to select the layer you want to move. Tip for working with layers: Name your layers. Go to Layer Properties and type in a name for your layer so you don’t get confused. For example, if you have a green ribbon, name the layer green ribbon instead of Layer 3. Naming your layers really helps if you are working with a lot of layers.

3- Adjust your drop shadows. This is such an easy thing to do. If you use the default settings with Photoshop or Paintshop Pro you may end up with a very heavy drop shadow. This can make your page look overpowered or fuzzy. Adjust the opacity, angle and size of your drop shadow until you get a more natural setting.

4. Learn how to cut images or papers into shapes. One thing that is very fun to do with your scrapbook pages is cutting your pictures or papers into shapes. If you are using Paint Shop Pro use the custom shape tool to create your shape. Then place your photo on it’s own layer. Use the magic wand tool to select the shape. Then look for your photo on your layer palette. Select the photo layer, select inverse and then delete. This will cut your photo into a shape. For Photoshop: Create your custom shape. Then copy and paste your photo. Place it on the layer just above the shape. Click Control G to group your two layers. Then Control E to merge them. That’s it

5. Use Quick Kits. You may find different sites refer to quick kits by different names. Quick kits are easy to use templates. You don’t have to have a lot of experience to use them. You just copy and paste your photos into the templates. They may come with custom shapes or predesigned curvy borders that are easy to use. You do need to understand how to work with layers as well as grouping and merging layers but quick kits have all the hard part done for you.

6-The key to a good page is a good photo. Don’t just take boring photos. Try to think of creative poses or get a great shot of something interesting. Having a good photo to work with will make your page go from boring to outstanding. You want people to look at your page and notice the photos. Here are a few tips for enhancing your photos and making them “pop”. Tip: Try adjusting the curves and the contrast to brighten up your pictures. In Paint Shop Pro to adjust the curves go to Adjust>> Brightness and Contrast>> Curves. To adjust the contrast go to Adjust>> Brightness and Contrast>> Brightness/Contrast. For Photoshop to adjust the curves go to Image>>Adjustments>>>>Curves. To adjust the contrast go to Image>> Adjustments>> Brightness/Contrast.

7- Save your work. Save your layered file. Every time you make a revision save it. If you think you might want to change something save two versions of your work, one with the change and one without it. Sometimes you make so many changes that you can’t get your page back to how you had it. I will sometimes make seven versions of the same page. This way if I don’t like something I can always go back to my original file.

I hope that you have found these tips helpful.

Learn How Cultures of the Ancient Time Existed From Old Money

Old money for many people simply means money that they can no longer use because it doesn’t seem to resemble the shiny new coins that they just collected from the bank that morning. For coin collectors old money means coins that are in the classical period of time. These old money collections generally come from places like ancient Greece or Rome.

While these collections of coins do come from places like Rome and Greece the old money refers to the money that was used in times of Antiquity. These types of old money collections are not that easy to find always. You should first read everything that you can about this subject before you make any decisions to buy or start a collection that features old money.

You will also have to see how you can continue with this type of old money collection. As judging old coins from periods of time like the classical time period is somewhat difficult you should see if there are experts in old money who can help you with information and a valuation about the monetary amount that you can expect to get for a collection like this.

Even if you can’t find what the current monetary rate is for old money this is still a fascinating collection of coins to look into. This old money was made to be used without wondering if the economy had to be based on the value that was used. The other fact that makes collecting old money so interesting is that there are very few pieces left in circulation among coin collecting communities.

Of course old money is also used in another way altogether. There are archeologists who will look at the old money that they might find as a way of seeing how the cultures of that place and time existed. For this reason when you look at old money you are not just looking at a coin piece. What you are holding onto in your coin collection is part of history.

With all of these facts to think about you may begin to wonder how you can get hold of some old money and add them to your collection as well. While there are sites on the internet that can help you , the price and authenticity has to be thought about before you make any arrangements to buy old money.

To be sure that you may be the lucky recipient of good quality old money you should find a dealer who can see that you are getting genuine old money that will increase your coin collection’s worth beyond your wildest imaginings.

Making Money Online With Web Marketing and Promotion

When you begin to learn the techniques of making money online with web marketing and promotion, you begin your personal journey to financial freedom.

The internet is amazing. It is an amazing people reacher. Because of this, it is an amazing marketing tool. When you have a product or service to sell, you naturally want to expose it to as many potential customers as possible. In conventional advertising schemes, you might reach huge amounts of people, like those viewing the Superbowl, but it will cost you millions for a few seconds of such exposure. On the internet, you can potentially reach far more than that crowd; and you can do it twenty-four hours per day every day, for free! That’s not a misprint.

There are literally an unlimited amount of different ways to make money through web marketing and promotion. You can express your thoughts and knowledge to potential customers in the form of a web log, or blog. You can write articles like this one, submit them to article directory sites for free and have them read, with your personal hyperlinks, by millions. You can create an informational booklet, or an e-book, and market it all over the world. You can even convince others to market it even further for you creating huge profits. If you apply a little entrepreneurial spirit, you can definitely find numerous roads to money generation via the internet.

Now while blogging, article submission, and the creation and sales of e-books are definitely valid and explosive trends in internet marketing, there are many others that do not require you to do the work of writing. Of course, these involve paying for it. There are many internet-based marketing services out there in cyberspace. Still, the bottom line is that someone somewhere is going to have to produce the content, in whatever form, that will drive the masses to your website. Whatever routes you choose, there is money to be made through web marketing and promotion. Good luck!

A constipation home remedy - cayenne

rudy silva



Cayenne is a constipation home remedy that is effective in producing peristalsis in your colon and aids digestion. It can be used regularly at every meal and when needed for constipation. Cayenne pepper is known to help thin the blood. So, it is good for improving blood circulation.



Cayenne is available in capsules of different strengths, from 5,000 heat units (HU) to 100,000 and even higher. In addition, cayenne when used with other herbs helps to deliver these herbs more efficiently to where they are needed in the body.



As a constipation home remedy, start with one capsule of 40,000 HU and always take it after you eat. You will feel a hot or slight burning feeling in the upper stomach and that's when you know its working. The feeling is like when you get heartburn. This burning sensation will pass as your body gets use to you using cayenne.



Do not use cayenne seeds, as they can be toxic. If you are pregnant or breast-feeding do not take cayenne supplements. Use cayenne only as directed on its container and only as capsules.



Cayenne has the ability to block the ulcer producing effect of NSAIDS. It also has shown to increase the body's absorption of theopylline, a drug used to treat asthma.



In his book, Left for Dead, Dick Quinn tells how Cayenne pepper saved his life after coronary bypass surgery failed to restore it. In this book, Shannon Quinn, say,



"One of the most effective stimulants, mostly, cayenne targets the digestive and the circulatory system. Cayenne regulates blood pressure, strengthens the pulse, feeds the heart, lowers cholesterol, and thins the blood. It cleanses the circulatory system, heals ulcers, stops hemorrhaging, speeds healing of wounds, rebuilds damaged tissue, eases congestion, aids digestion, regulates elimination, relieves arthritis and rheumatism, prevents the spread of infection and numbs pain."



Use the recommended dose shown on the bottle of cayenne you use.



You can also add cayenne pepper into other foods. Add cayenne to soups, salads, and other foods you like.



In soups or salads break open a cayenne capsule and mix it in. You can add 1 – 2 capsules, but first start with 1/4 or 1/2 capsule so you can get use to the hot taste.



If you are pregnant, it is considered safe to use cayenne.



Use this constipation home remedy and you will see results. It definitely has the power to eliminate constipation and keep you regular and has many other benefits, especially for your heart.
