Tutorial: How to Save Layouts for the Web in Photoshop: Design House Digital

Tutorial: How to Save Layouts for the Web in Photoshop: Design House Digital

Judy and I were discussing how we save our files for the Web this weekend. I just stumbled across this blog entry on How to Save Layouts for the Web in Photoshop from Design House Digital. It is similar to what I do, but still different. To avoid the "image exceeds the size" error message, she resizes it before selecting "save for web."

She goes to Image > Image Size and changes the height and width from 3600 x 3600 to something below 1000 x 1000 and also changes the resolution from 300ppi to 72ppi. When she changes the ppi to 72, the height and width of the image automatically changes to 864 x 864. Check out the tutorial for more information.

This challenge is a little different. We are to make a card and matching envelope using our scrapbook supplies. This is a little outside my comfort zone. We'll see what I come up with.

Challenge 11 -- Better Homes and Gardens Test Garden

* Based on Humnpty Dumpty Template challenge from www.polkadotplum.com

This is Challenge # 11. They provided a template they created. The only problem was that everything were all in the bottom corner. So we havw complete freedom on where to place the elements and what to do with them.

Challenge 10 -- Inspiration

Judy and I selected supplies we both had for this layout. I created my "half" and sent the flattened JPG to Judy who then created her portion and sent the completed 8x8 layout to me as another JPG. I added the title.

We used the following supplies:

ADSR 5.9 - The Color Wheel

Debbie has posted the requirements for this challenge before I butted in and mounted my missing LOs.  My part of the color wheel was blue and Debbie is doing orange.  The subject was Creativity.  We could use a photo or not - I chose not to use a photo for this LO.  Here is my entry:

ADSR 5.8 - Someday . . .

There were requirements about the number & type of elements we were to use on this LO, just like #6.  I had lots of pictures I wanted to use so I really hated having to use so many elements - would have preferred more room for journaling.  In any case, here it is.

ADSR 5.7 - The Bucket List

I thought this one was hard - mostly because they said it had to be realistic - which considering the state of the economy, really puts a crimp in anyone's bucket list (unless you are young and have your whole life ahead of you).  At my age, I've done many of the things I would have on my bucket list if I was writing this 30 years ago.  Here is the LO I came up with - and my list. Hope it is readable.  I made the little stick man and the bucket myself.  First time I've tried that!

Challenge 5.6

Here is my entry for the roadblock, Challenge 6.  Only one of us had to do this one - in which the chosen person  was to use an old photo of herself and one taken within the last year.  I was also to include 10 words that describe myself. Thank goodness this "roadblock" gave Debbie a little time while her mom was in the hospital.

Challenge 9 -- OScraps

The first step of the challenge is to look at the color wheel. You and your partner must choose opposing colors on the wheel, so for example, if you pick blue, your partner must use orange. It should be the predominant color in the layout but it does not have to be the only color used. Please use THIS color wheel to make your selections. As long as you are using opposing colors, they do not have to be in the same band.

The second step is incorporate this quote in some way.
"Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun." - Mary Lou Cook
You can use any part of this quote as your inspiration. For example, you could make a layout about growing. You could make a layout about breaking the rules, etc. You can use any part of the quotes or words from the quote. The quote itself does NOT have to appear on your page.

The third step is to include the following:
You MUST include paint. This item is mandatory.

Then, pick 7 more from this list:
swirls
glitter
black and white photo
2 alphas
something metal
stitching
patterned paper
funky font
journaling

Please note that an item does NOT count for more than one category. So, for example, if you were to use a glitter swirl, it would either count for swirls OR glitter, NOT for both. You MUST have different pieces for each of your seven mandatory items. Also, if you decide not to use a black and white photo, that's fine, you can still use color photo(s) or no photo. You can use anything else that you want on your layout as long as you meet the mandatory requirements.

ADSR Challenge 7 - Scrap Orchard Forum

The theme of this challenge is "The Bucket List." Scrap 50 things you would like to do in your lifetime, keeping things realistic, things we could actually do.

Challenge 6 - The Challenge - Scrappity-Doo-Dah

Welcome Racers - The Challenge - Scrappity-Doo-Dah

This was a road block and Judy did it. I have had a family emergency and have spent most of the past week at the hospital with my mother. Sorry for being late posting this.

ADSR 5 Challenge Time! - Elemental Scraps is the 8th Stop

ADSR 5 Challenge Time! - Elemental Scraps

This is a FAST FORWARD Challenge, not that we will be the first to complete it, but the first team to complete this challenge will have the option of SKIPPING next week's challenge if they choose!

The theme for this challenge is "someday." There are very few stipulations about what you need on your layout, but there are a few. It must contain journaling--no limit on how much. Somewhere in your journaling or title we must use "someday." At least 10 elements. Would like the background to be a tone on tone patterned paper. Journaling and title must be two separate items. Would prefer to see a photo, but it's okay if you don't.
