Scrap And Mac

To really develop as a scrapbooker I recommend going in the deep end and learning to use Adobe Photoshop. It will give you the flexibility to create anything you imagine. It does require practice but there is lots of support and the end product will be much more professional and memorable! Look at the features and you can even download trial versions.

At the heart of digital scrapbooking on a Mac is iLife. Apart from organizing photos in their particular event, you can make movies as well as dvd’s and even web sites. I have this latest version and absolutely love how you can organize photos in iPhoto. You can label them as events and as you roll over the image it scrolls through all of your pictures. It is a great edition to iLife and really helps when you have 100 even 1000’s of pictures to go through. As a beginner it doesn’t take long to navigate. Absolutely love it! .
