These are called templates, but they are full color images? I think when I saw "template" I was expecting something that could be recolored or clipped with different papers.

I think when I saw "template" I was expecting something that could be recolored or clipped with different papers. Alot of CU items now comes in full color items. It actually makes recoloring a little easier. One of my favorite ways is to duplicate the item, on the bottom layer add a color fill layer, and change the mode on it. Then turn back on the top layer and adjust the mode/opacity on that one. It helps bring out some of the detail of the embellishment instead of having it look just tones of 1 color. The only difference though between this item and something like this one from Brandy is the fact that Brandy's has been changed to grey scale/de saturated. Which is something you could easily do with the other ribbons (or variety of embellishments) to recolor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graphia Bella Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I would like to add one more thing to really good Angie's explanation. Recoloring an element on gray tone is really hard work when you need something with mixed colors. When the element is already in colors, it's easier to keep the wonderfull shades of colors of the item and just change a specific color or two depending on your needs. Sorry for my english, I do my best. I hope my explanation is clear for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm totally useless with SS but have been totally befuddled seeing SS in color, as to me then it wasn't SS since the definition of it to me was grayscale!

And that's very true, when templates came out years ago in digital scrapbooking they were all in grey scale. But over the years they have all evolved. Paper templates used to be grey scaled and flat .jpg or .png files. Then they evolved to .psd files along with the .jpg or .png files (and even some in color) Embellishments used to be, generally, non realistic items in greyscale. Then it evolved to include realistic things like flowers and such...and now most designers have started doing them in color because of the ease in recoloring.

CRS Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I think I like recoloring a "colored" item more than a greyscale because I have better luck with the results. And I like having the ready made item to put on a page, too, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This all makes total sense and like Carla I like having embellishments already colored, whew.... And I understand now that it's easier to recolor colored objects than grayscale ones and I'd imagine it's also easier to keep the texture in the item that way too? But, what puzzles me is then why have SS - why wouldn't everything just be regular items that can be recolored like anything else can now? I'm not trying to be funny, I just don't understand it all and I don't know if I'm missing something! When it comes to layout templates where I clip things to pieces I have to say that I never buy colored ones because it totally throws me off when I'm trying to pick my own colors! When it's grayscale I can see my choices and possibilities easier. I guess I get easily confused. All that said, I understand now about recoloring being easy with color vs. grayscale. And, I'll be happy to see a tutorial, thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
