Mary:

I am at the site and am about to hit "download" but wondering if there are steps to follow, such as for the installation of Elements Extras (for which there is a tutorial). Do you mind explaining the installation process?

Thanks in advance.

Mary ...

I don't think that you install in it PSE ... it looks like its a template and when you want to use it you just drag it into the image

Mary-
I will warn you...it's verrrrry slow

[MarieBoyer]

Thanks very much.

Do you open the template while in the Standard Editor? (I apologize cause I have never used a template.)

[Mary]

Hi Marie - you would open it in edit mode but it truly is very very very slow. I double click on the thumbnail in the layer pallete and then go and get a cup of coffee until the text is selected then I type my text and click on the check mark to commit it. Then I go and get another cup of coffee while I wait.
Is there a particular thing you are trying to produce? Maybe there is a better way that someone knows of.

Thanks Mary. I may wait to use it for something in the future. I wanted something like that for my printable CD's.

Hi Marie,
I don't know what sort of printer you have but .....
I've got a Canon Pixma iP5000 which comes with it's own software for printing on CD's. You can manipulate the text in any shape wordart, add pictures, colours, gradients, etc. etc. I sometimes run the title of the disc in a semi circle to fit the curve of the disc. I'ts a very handy piece of software.
Cheers,
Robyn

Appreciate your response. The new PSE Digital Scrapbookers disc only provides printing in an arc -- unless I'm missing something. For example, I would like the word "May" to go entirely around a date in a digital calendar (somethng I saw in The Scrapbook Idea Book, Vol.9, Creating Keepsakes -- good idea issue).
