A gift for DIP Divas

A gift for you Clear Acrylics are only possible in DIP with pricey plugin filters so Ive created this set of clear acrylic tags for DIP Divas to use on your (personal use only) pages. This set is in a single PNG+ file and cannot be used by other programs as they will all just be stuck together. Im not being mean - PS and PSE users can use any number of free actions or layer styles to create their own while DIP doesnt have that option, and this is a blog for DIP users after all. So DIP Divas enjoy :) A comment is appreciated. You can download them HERE

Get organised with the Digital Image Library

Kim and I often get asked about the library and I have to admit I think its is terrific for organising elements but sadly I no longer use it because with over 100GB of Elements I maxed out its memory lol. I've switched to ACDSEE but I still recommend that you use the DIP library because its easy to use and well integrated with DIP - unless you have over 100GB of elements. Kim and I often also get asked about how we cateogorise things - well Kim is lazy lol so she keeps hers to the bare minimum but here is my list - it might give you something to start from if you are looking for it. Its a TXT file you have to download because the list is too long to post, but Ive attached a series of screenshots below as well. DOWNLOAD LIST HERE and in case you hadnt seen it there is a tutorial at SBB on using the library - ist a bit old but still useful.
