      TIPS and TRICKS entry! Version 2.0

      (notice header mentions TIPS and TRICKS and states which version I'm talking
      about...PLEASE start yours with that..don't want to miss giving out points!)

      TIP for flipping and shadowing...Version 2.0
      If you want to flip an item that has shadow on it..the SHADOW will not flip
      correctly with the item..sooooo
      UNCHECK the item of it's shadow BEFORE flipping it..After flipping it..Add shadow.! To do that just click on the item and when box comes up..UNCHECK the shadow!

        Tips & Tricks v2 - Publish one page to an image file

        It is now possible to publish only one page of a Scrapbook album to an image. From the page you want to publish, go to the top menu bar of Scrapbook Max, Select Page, then "save as image". There are several file types you can publish to as well as choose the quality of your published image which will change your file size.

        publish1.jpg

        If you choose "custom" for the size you need to change the zero for height and width to your desired size or it will not work. The size measurement is pixels. So 12x12 size page at 300 dpi would need to be 3600 by 3600.

          Tips & Tricks v2 - Twice as many shapes - invert

          Scrapbook Max users love shapes. Now we have twice as many shapes. They have added invert. Any shape you have, you can invert. Many times this will give you really cool shape for a page border etc. When you double mouse click the embellishment or paper it will open up the property window. There is a box you mark to invert your shape and it will give you a preview. Here is an example of an original shape and then the inverted shape.
          invert.jpg

          A favorite new feature but there are so many how do you choose a favorite.

                      Food for thought..

                      Forgot to mention.

                      When you donate an item, make a template for show OR give away, or give a Tip/Trick..that also qualifies you for Random Drawing as participant..So it pays to donate something..gives you chance to win twice..whereas participants get only one chance in Random Drawing..make sense?

                      HUGS!!

                          Tips & Tricks v2 - Shadows...

                          You can do so much with shadows in v2. You can control everything about the shadow. You can change the angle of the shadow, position of the shadow, the color, etc.

                          1) Double click the item you want to shadow
                          2) on the first tab is a box to place a checkmark to add a shadow
                          3) if you want the new options for shadows click on settings.

                          shadow.jpg

                          I post this tip because I always forget to remove the checkmark for "global" which makes all shadows on this page identical. I usually don't want this and have to backtrack. Hopefull this tip will save you some time.

                            Template v2

                            I made a template but it is too big. I am not sure what to do with it now. I have never uploaded for SBM before. Do I use 4 share? Do I have to have an account?
