Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Guide - The Way To Make A Greeting Card

By David Peters




Personalized greeting cards based on your own photographs make a wonderful strategy to show family and friends how much you care - a really appealing card can spend months on a loved one's mantelpiece and may even be framed and displayed with pride.

You may include one or more images on each page of a greeting card and either print it on your home printer, order prints using the net, or save it to your hard-drive, and then send it via e-mail. Once you have started your greeting card, the Create tab offers controls for moving between pages, and easy access to layout templates, art work, and effects to help you to create superior designs easily and quickly. Choosing a size and theme

For this project you'll use two photos to create a folded invitation card.

1. In the Organizer, click Show All in the Find bar over the Media Browser. In the Keyword Tags panel, expand the Imported Keyword Tags category, and click on the find box next to the Lesson 04 tag to separate the photographs for this Photoshop Elements 10 lesson.

2. In the media Browser, choose the pictures card_1.jpg and card_2.jpg.

3. Click the Create tab above the Task Pane. On the Create tab, click on the Greeting Card button. The Greeting Card window opens.

If you don't see file names shown below the thumbnail photos in the Media Browser, ensure that the Details check box in the bar over the browser pane is activated and choose View - Show File Names.

4. In the left, the Sizes pane lists size options for different online services; select the 3rd listing under Shutter-fly: 7.00 x 5.00 in . (Folded, Landscape). From the Themes pane, choose Colorful. You may use a theme "as is", or as a design template that you may personalize. The preview shows that this theme will make a good starting point for our design, with a front page layout occupied by a single photograph. Ensure that Auto fill With Chosen Images is activated; then, click OK.

Although the Sizes pane lists options suitable for several web-based services, any greeting card can also be printed from your own printer. The choice of web-based services depends on your location and your OS.

Elements takes some moments to make the appropriate number of pages, put the selected photographs in the template, and generate a preview. The card design shows up in the Edit window and the Create tab presents the Pages panel, where you may click the thumbnails to navigate between the pages in your layout. A thumbnail for your as yet untitled photograph project appears in the Project Bin.
