Then paste it as a new layer above the guide paper in the templateĪnd now this is what I have-my template with the main bg paper in place and ready to go. My paper is open in PSP (and resized to 8X8), I copy it The Next three visuals are my steps in adding the bg paper… That is an easy step because it won’t need to be cut at all. The next thing I do is pick a Background paper-I open that in PSP and resize as well- I drop that onto the bottom layer above the guide paper in the template. Here is what my screen looks like at this point. I toss out the TFF and PNG files that are included in most template sets. I should also mention that the only file extension that is recognized in PSP is PSD format. I open up the template and immediately resize it because I scrap 8X8 and most templates are 12X12. OK the first thing you need to do when using a template in PSP is navigate to the folder that your template is in-I do this using the Widows viewer as opposed to the Browse feature that is standard in PSP-I find it easier since my files are kept according to a very regimented system. There are things about it that I love and things about it that I don’t love so much-but overall I’ve been happy with the upgrade from X2. I have been using PSP X3 for about 5 months now. I stared with 9 and have upgraded periodically through the years. I have been scrapping with some version of PSP since I started scrapping. If you have any questions please feel free to PM me here through the forum-I will attempt to help you as much as I can. I want to preface this tutorial by saying that I am NOT a tutorial writer-I feel like I’m leaving a ton out and not teaching you as well as you should be taught.
