Digital scrapbooking has many advantages over traditional paper scrapbooking methods. First, it's easy to stay neat and organized since all of the work is done on your computer. Digital scrapbooking is also a lot less expensive than paper scrapbooking since you don't have to invest in supplies and tools. You also don't have to print your digital photos first before you can do something creative with them.
Some scrapbookers are afraid to try digital scrapbooking because they assume that they can't make real, physical scrapbooks. That's far from the truth as any experienced digital scrapbooker can tell you! Digital scrapbooking gives you lots of options for sharing in print formats.
You have a couple of choices for turning your digital pages into prints. One of the easiest ways is to print out color pages on your home printer. A good quality digital scrapbooking program will allow you to easily choose an "instant" home printing option with your mouse.
For even more polish and pizzazz, you can also choose to print your digital scrapbook pages through a professional online printing service. It couldn't be easier! The first step is to publish your digital scrapbook pages as a high quality .jpg image or .pdf document, formats suitable for printing. The top digital scrapbooking software programs have several publishing or output options that you can choose from to suit your needs, and even allow you to indicate the output quality. To publish is simply to turn your pages into an image format that lends itself to printing, for instance, a .pdf, and then save the published images to a place on your computer where it is easy to retrieve.
If you know how to share images online, like on Facebook or through email, then you can easily do the next step. You simply upload your digital pages to the online printer's website, and then check the applicable boxes to indicate what type and size of prints you want to order. You can choose how many copies and customize the size of pages you want made up. Suppose that you've designed a family scrapbook and want to share with your two siblings. With a digital scrapbooking program, you have a digital "master" that you can print as many times as you want instead of spending time and money recreating your paper scrapbook again and again.
When you order online, your order is often processed right away. Since you are submitting your images digitally, the process is super quick and convenient. It's not unusual for a good online company to process your order within a day's turn around, and send your prints right on their way to your door!
When your order has been placed, your prints will probably arrive within a week or maybe two. Take it easy as the printers take care of the only unimaginative part of the whole digital scrapbooking hobby.
