5 by 7 Greeting Card--6 photos

I am trying to create a graduation 5 by 7 card in Photoshop Elements 12. I want to use 6 to 8 photos on the card. When I select the options that show multiple photos such as storyteller, the format only allows for 3 pictures. Is there a way to add more photos than the formats offered?
Thanks,
Lulu

I suggest that you make your own template for this project.
In PSE Editor, Expert tab, go to File menu>new>Blank file. Enter w & h, resolution the same value as that of the picture files, background color to suit. This will be your canvas.
Do the math and figure out how many pictures you can fit on the card comfortably.
Go to File>place, point to where the pictures are on disk, then place them. Use the corner handles to resize the pictures while holding down the shift key in order to retain the proportions. Each picture will come in on a separate layer.
You can add a stroke to each picture if desired.
Hope that this helps.

How do you print on the back of a greeting card in Photo Creations

I want to put pictures/text on the back of a greeting card created in Photo Creations, how do I do that?
This question was solved.

Hi again, JaysMother.
Are you making print-at-home or ship-to-home cards? For Print at Home, you could make a second card that has just the front image and blank inside surfaces (use the Plain White theme). Then feed the paper through again, upside-down. Experiment with plain paper first to make sure everything's lining up the way you want.
Let us know how it goes!

Multiple photos in greeting card

I would like to create a greeting card with a photo on the front and a photo inside. iPhoto 6 card themes do not allow this. How about iPhoto 7.1?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. iPhoto 7 has some new themes which have an array of two,three or four pics on the front page. Some have a second photo on the inside of the front page facing the text/greeting page of the card.
If you have an image editor that can handle layers like Photoshop Elements and want to print them yourself see Tutorial #8. You can add a second photo anywhere you want and even add additional text.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How do I get photos on Avery greeting cards?

Using Publisher Software and Photoshop Elements 10, to print photos on Avery half-fold jet ink greeting cards, how do I transfer photos onto the card?

I am not familiar with "Publisher Software."
Most of these programs work similarly.
Enhance your photo in PSE, then save it to disk
Open the software for the greeting card, select the appropriate Avery template
Look for an insert option, point to where your graphic/picture is on disk, and insert.

Source for Good Pro-Quality Custom Greeting Cards

hello all:
i'm interested to know if anyone has found a source in the US for good, reliable, pro-quality greeting cards that can be made from digital photo files. i've been getting a lot of inquiries from clients about posing for family portraits to be used as holiday greeting cards. this is a service i've yet to offer as part of my growing portrait biz.
importing selected picks into iPhoto and ordering through there seems like a reasonable workflow, however, the prices for iPhoto's cards are kinda high.
thanks,
scott

Valid size not available for this creation when using Greeting Card feature

Using PSE9 with a Mac. When attempting to create a greeting card, after selecting the photo, the Greeting Card, I receive a pop up error message as follows:
"Valid Size Not Available For This Creation". (All other Create functions such as Photo Book, Photo Calendar, and Photo Collage appear to be working). I have been in contact with Adobe Support and have been instructed to do a number of things from creating a new preferences file to uninstalling and re-installing the PSE software, with no result. Has anyone else run into this problem, and if so have found a fix? Thanks.

I've been tearing my hair out over this one also. I've been on hold for over 10 hrs with Adobe Support waited over almost 2 weeks and still no resolution. I'm trying to create the Save the Date cards for my wedding and I can't wait for Adobe. Removing the preferences file and uninstalling/reinstalling does not fix the problem.
That said I did figure out a workaround for this. It's easy but it does require Windows. For me this was no big deal as I do own a Windows box.
Get the free trial version of PE9 for Windows and install it. If you don't have a Windows computer get to a friend that has one
Upload some of your photos to the PE9 Windows Organizer (it's identical to the mac version)
Select Create and then Greeting card. Photoshop will launch the guided edit feature for greeting cards.
Select the Layout feature and once you find out that you like save it as Photoshop project. Repeat this step for as many layouts as necessary.
Copy your Photoshop project files (and any folders) to your mac.
Open the project files as you would with any other Photoshop file.
You can now select the Create feature. You will be able add your pictures and resize them, you will be able to add/remove text, you'll be able to change the backgound/borders, add graphics...pretty much anything...EXCEPT automatically modify the layout. If you click on Layout, PE9 returns nothing. You can however go into full edit mode and if you have decent Photoshop skills you can make any changes to the layout manually.
If I had to put money on this I'd say that there is a problem with the PE9 Mac installation package. For some reason it is not deploying the layout data/files or it is not putting them in the right place. For this reason the program can't find the layouts when the user selects the greeting card guided edit.
Good luck.

Can Anyone Tell Me How to Create Greeting Cards with Photoshop Elements 7 or 8?

I need a 7x10 page setup so that when the card is folded to a 5x7 my photo is landscape on the outside of the card. Currently I can only find a 8 1/2 x 11 paper size.
Thanks,
Lexington59

In Photoshop Elements 8 Editor, go to the Create tab, and you will see Greeting card, with 5x7 page size.

IPhoto 08 makes it difficult to print greeting cards

It seems to me that it should be easier to print greeting cards yourself from iPhoto. I have tried many ways and there are no options to adjust the print size. No one makes paper the correct size, and printing on a Letter sized page doesn't work. In fact, it seems to crop the bottom of the page off even printing on a larger paper.
Has anyone had luck printing cards? The idea of ordering them seems absurd.

Yes, the card feature is designed to encourage ordering thru Apple. If you have a 3rd party image editor that handles layers, like Photoshop Elements for Mac, you can follow Tutorial #8 to print cards.
Happy Holidays

Problems printing Greeting Cards from iPhoto 6 and 8

I've had this problem since I tried it in iPhoto 6, and that is printing greeting cards in iPhoto doesn't work with my inkjet printer. When the first page prints, it's not centered, so when I flip the page and print page 2, they are not aligned and won't cut correctly. My Aunt is able to print cards from iPhoto but only by doing some long 20 step process of exporting them to jpgs using Preview, then printing them from some custom template in Pages. When Mr. Jobs said "Home Printing" was going to be fixed in '08, I got all excited only to see I'm having the same problems. Any one have any luck with this from inside iPhoto?

Mark:
If you have a 3rd party editor that can handle layers take a look at Tutorial #8.

Setting margins for Greeting Cards and centering image

When we try and set up printing a greeting card from iPhoto 6 on a portrait card the image is always too close to the right hand edge, i.e. there is a white margin between the image and the fold - and this margin is larger than the margin on the right hand (outer) edge of the image. How can we centre the image keeping it on the right hand side of the greeting card?
We tried using a custom paper from page setup - but the custom size dropped off the menu when we went into the print menu.
Thank you.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you have a 3rd party editor that supports layers you can print a card without any border. Look at Tutorial #8.

How to create greeting cards in elements 7

I need to know how to create greeting cards that would fit with this layout I attached this one below. I am new to this so learning how this works.
Thanks for your help
vicki

This site has a few greeting card tutorials
http://www.redrivercatalog.com/cardshop/tuts1/index.htm.
I have also used their greeting cards and envelopes and have always been satisfied with their products.
I don't know exactly what size your photo is but what I do is;
make a new document the size of the photo plus 1/4-inch all around for a border. Double this if the card is a half-fold card.
I add a new layer and use the pencil tool mark where to divide the card in half (where I will fold the card), and to mark the 1/4 inch border on the front. I use the grid (View>Grid). I make any more marks I might need. Just remember to keep it all on a new layer and turn it off before you print. Very annoying to print your card and see your markings!!
Since I want them to fit in an envelope, I use whatever size I need to fit and make the images fit the card.
I hope this has been of some help to you. I really enjoy making cards!

Making a greeting card in Photoshop Elements 11

Hi
I am new to this forum and have only just purchased Photoshop Elements 11. I was interested in making single fold greeting cards using my own photos. I wanted to make the image fill the front page and not use the templates provided, is this possible?
Many thanks

Sure. In the editor just create a new file the width you want and double the length (so you can fold the card) at the ppi resolution you want. Use the rulers, set a guide, or use the grid to figure out exactly where the middle is. The bottom half is the front cover. Now get out the graphics panel (window>graphics) and add backgrounds, image frames, images, graphics, text, etc.
EDIT If you want a printed inside, you'll need a second file with the same dimensions. Printing will have to be done in two passes.

Photoshop Elements 4.0 greeting card Question

I am working with windows xp, and am using the trial version to see if I like it, and was creating a greeting card with a photo on the front, but could not resize it. It gave me a nice size picture with a very generous border around it. Any suggestions, other than buy the product, which I may well do.
Also, while I have your attention does PSE 4 convert Nikon D50 raw files
Regards,
vidman

Best advice: get a real greeting card program, like American Greetings CreataCard, for making cards, but keep your image editor for editing images.
Best regards,

Photoshop Elements 10 Greeting Cards

I have tried and tried to print a greeting card locally (i.e. on my home printer) using Photoshop Elements 10. I have searched the forums and found suggestions to save and reopen to print, but it doesn't work for me. I can't believe Photoshop has had this problem for so long and never fixed it. I bought PSE10 a month before 11 came out and when I try to contact support, they refuse, telling me support only applies to 11. I have searched, phoned, chatted, and experimented for hours, only to tell me that for another $29 Adobe will discuss the issue with me. Incredible. When I click the menu to create a greeting card, it gives me size options for Shutterfly, nothing for local printing. And if I click PRINT, it doesn't work - it prints the card out on four separate sheets of paper, no matter what settings I try to change.
I finally insisted on speaking with a Supervisor, named Fhekhar, who sounded more accomodating after a long wait on hold. They sent me an email with link to solve the problem without charge. It directed me to http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/using/create-greeting-card.html, which I had already found. It doesn't help at all. But it too suggests you can print locally - it just doesn't tell you how. They also sent a link to A Photoshop Elements 9 video tutorial for printing greeting cards. http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-photoshop-elements-9/creating-greeting-cards/ which I have also found before - and again not helpful. It goes all the way up to the actual printing, but stops there and doesn't show you how!
Photoshop Elements 10 will allow you to print greeting cards on Shutterfly. I do not want to pay for printing on Shutterfly - that's why I have cardstock, an expensive photo program and a printer!
Has anyone solved this??????????????

I have used Greeting Card Factory and it's an inexpensive excellent program, but there is no need to purchase it.
I made my greeting cards from scratch. I don't bother with the templates provided with PSE.
For fold-over cards, I make two projects.
Start with a document size before folding. i.e. - 8.5x5.5 card needs to start with a 8.5x11 document.
Document one is the front and back of the card. Note, the front graphic needs to be on the bottom of document one. Anything for the back needs to be upside down and near the top of the document.
Document two is the inside. Again, the verse needs to be on the bottom half of the document.
I save them as jpgs and print document one on the first side
Reinsert the cardstock, print document two on the other side.
When printing - the only thing that is tricky is making sure you re-insert the cardstock in the right direction.
I have found it much easier to do things my own way rather than work within the confines of PSE's templates.
