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.

  • 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,

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

    Connect your camera to the PC and navigate to that device.
     

  • How to e-mail Greeting Cards created in Elements

    I would like to be able to create Greeting Cards in Elements 11 and then e-mail the cards. 
    I this possible?
    Sheila

    There are multiple ways to do it.
    1) Create a Greeting card in PSE Editor. Once done with editing click on File->Export Card and choose PDF/JPEG and save it on your hard drive and mail it as attachment.
    2) Create a Greeting card in PSE Editor. Once done with editing click on File->Export Card and choose PDF/JPEG and save it on your hard drive and mail it as attachment. Import in your Organizer and choose Share->Email or PDF Slideshow etc.
    I am hoping that you would like person to see th card on mail body itself so try Share->Photo mail also and probably JPEG should be fine here
    Hope it helps.
    Thanks,

  • Making a alpha channel in photoshop elements 5.0

    hello so I am making this spray or icon I guess you could call it for counter strike source which is a game I play. But I want to make it so that it has no background and apparently I have been told that I need to make an alpha channel so that I can do that. But every tutorial I can find on the internet is for previous versions which have a channel tab in the layers tab.
    How ever elements 5.0 does not that have. Can someone help me with this it is driving me crazy lol I have tried just saving it as a targa file in 32 bit nut it still had that white background :(

    Colin 1 and 2, thanks. I enjoy your web sites and learn alot from them and your comments here. I am using selections here mostly as cutouts, I'm not sure of my terminology in this forum yet. I never used photo shop and would not know an alpha channel if it bite me. I have spent much time making a selection/cutout and want to save it. I thought save selection would send it some place like copy command saves in note pad. I now believe I have to save the image with it's multiple layers if I want to use that selection/cutout in another image.
    Only if you want to do the same selection into other images at other times do you need to save the selection. Then just drag and drop it across. Colin#2

  • 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.

  • Need help with Photoshop elements 11 download

    Just purchased a download card for Photoshop elements 11, created an account, registered the card, got a serial #. And now there is no download screen, or prompts to guide me to the next step of downloading the product. What is the issue and what should I do? New PC with windows 7.

  • How to import a text file created in Pages (iWork '08) to Photoshop Elements

    I am totally a novice at working with Photoshop Elements.  I need help.  I want to create my business card in Photoshop Elements with a background image and then a text layer over the background layer.  The logo and text was created in Pages (iWork '08).  Can I import this text file to Photoshop Elements and if so how do I do that?  I cannot create the same logo in Elements unless someone can tell me how to draw a circle with a transparent background so that just the outline of the circle shows and the background comes through.  Thanks for any help you can offer.  I have OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.4 and Photoshop Elements 6.

    In PSE, to draw an empty circle use the elliptical marquee tool and hold down shift while you drag to constrain it to a circle. That will give you an empty selection, then go to Edit>Stroke (outline) selection. A window appears where you can choose the width and color of the stroke.
    However, I'm not understanding why you would want to create your business card in PSE rather than in Pages or equivalent. Is there a special reason for this?
    EDIT As for the text file, it would be simpler just to retype it in PSE, since it can't be very much text. Remember that PSE doesn't do all the fancy things with text that Pages can, although it can do some things (like warping) that Pages can't.
    You could activate the text tool and use copy/paste, but you'll lose most of the formatting.
