Where is the best place to start learning about digital scrapbooking?
I’ve done paper scrapping for a long while, but I’m terribly behind. I think digital scrapbooking might just be what I need to get back on track, but I’m overwhelmed with all of the info out there.
Help!
Where should I start?
First I would start by looking at the software you are going to use. How comfortable are you with using it? If the answer is not so much, I would recommend getting books and such on the software that will teach you how to do various things. If you are using Adobe Photoshop (CS, Elements, etc.), then you can access Adobe’s website for tutorials and tons of information. They also do a podcast if you are interested in that. I have found those useful. Nothing beats getting to see how someone does something step by step!!
If you are using other software, check out their customer website to see if they offer any how-to’s. Many of the various programs have a lot of similarities so even if you don’t have Adobe, you might want to take a gander over there.
Once you feel that you have a decent handle on your software I would go to a limited number of websites. Pick one that you feel give you the best directions on how-to’s and have a forum to discuss things. Forums are a great chance to interact and get help when you are stuck! They often will also have archives so that you can look for answers to questions that you have that may have been asked before. I will list a couple examples below of some websites that I have enjoyed for digital scrapping.
