KelvinBVM Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 When I purchase a collection, and it comes with both sheets of embellishments/alphabets, and individual png's, do I need to keep both the sheets and the individual png's? Is there any advantage to keeping one, the other, or both? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRS Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 The sheets of embellishments/alphas are helpful if you are paper scrapping. You can print out the whole sheet and cut out what you want. I use the individual png files for digi-scrapping so I only have to load the specific ones I want for my layout. I keep both because sometimes it's easier for me to check the sheet of embellishments for one I want instead of looking through the whole file. It's all a matter of choice, I guess!

Florida granny Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I like to keep both. I use the .png files for digi-scrapping. The sheet is helpful to show me what's in the collection. But, then I do tend to keep everything even if I never use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaT Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I use the sheets as a quick reference to the collection contents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teecee Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I do the same - use the pngs for digi-scrapping and the sheets as quick reference guides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any advantage to keeping one, the other, or both? TIA I like sheets to preview alphas in particular, because I can see the true relative proportions. When I scan a folder of individual pngs, which shows each png in the same size "box," characters such as M's and W's are scrunched compared to an I.

Sara Arell Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I use the sheets for quick reference guides too - they are pretty invaluable to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elisha Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I agree - the sheets are a great reference. I use Picasa to organize my supplies - and it does a great job of searching. Since "sheet" is part of the file name, often I will use a search string that includes that word. So if I want to get a quick look at all the embellishments in a collection, I'll search for say "visionary emb sheet" and just the embellishment sheets come up. And for alphas - if I'm not sure what I want to use, I'll search "alpha sheet" and get a quick look at all my alphas at the same time. It beats scrolling through loads of individual pngs.
