Script: Style Packer

WZ AFD StylePacker 600 2 Script: Style Packer

 

Anna Forrest Designs and I teamed up once again to bring you another amazing time-saving tool! You can now create install files for Photoshop® Elements using your saved styles (asl format) and a few clicks of your mouse. Just save your styles, run the script, choose your style file, save location and category name, and let the script do the rest. No more editing XML files and entering line after line of style names. This script will do it for you and provide the XML files for both PSE6 and PSE7-10.

INCLUDES:
1 script
1 action (W7/Vista, XP, Mac)
1 Video Tutorial (Mac & PC format)
Using Style Packer Tutorial (PDF)
Installing Styles Tutorial (PDF)

This script/action combo works only in PSCS3+.  This product is okay for designer use. (NOTE: This script will not create the styles for you. It only creates the XML files so you can provide install files for your customers.)

NOTE: This script assumes that the options you choose in your styles are PSE-compatible. I highly recommend testing the newly created install files in PSE to be sure your styles are compatible and load as expected.

Script: Power Scrap It Collab

Be sure to stop by ScrapbookLady Pages to read what Katie had to say about this set we collabed on, and to see some wonderful sample pages she created using these scripts and actions. (Hint, hint, she might just have a coupon for you!)

WZ PowerScrapIt 600Rv Script: Power Scrap It Collab

I recently had a revelation. When I’m working on a major album, I change the way I scrap. I don’t work on one page at a time. I work on like tasks in smaller chunks of time. I’m more productive when I group like tasks together over a series of pages. This revelation, though new to me, was not new at all, as I came to find out!In fact, Katie the Scrapbook Lady (from ScrapbookladyPages & The Daily Digi) pioneered an entire method based on this idea called “Power Scrapping.” The concept is simple, but, well, powerful! Instead of thinking in terms of one page at a time, start thinking in terms of scrapping tasks like sorting photos, matching them to templates and kits, pulling in papers and elements, etc.Katie and I have teamed up to take Power Scrapping to the next level with this unique set of actions and templates. You can quickly start new layouts, import templates, rotate, flip or flop them, add photos, batch add elements, papers and more with or without shadows! This set of actions does all the busy work for you, leaving you more time for the part you love… the creative part!

This set includes actions and scripts, along with the optional templates. You’ll get a video tutorial on using the actions and a PDF on how to install them correctly. Pay careful attention on where to install your scripts and actions. It’s not hard… just copy and paste to the right location for your version of Photoshop or Elements and your Operations System (XP, Vista/W7, Mac).

YOU GET:
8 12×12 PSD/TIF templates with a variety of photo options (by Katie the Scrapbook Lady)
4 Layout Starters (8×8, 12×12, Custom, Template)
5 Rotaters (Rotate templates left, right, 180° or flip up or down)
3 Photo Placers (Adds photos and lets you position them.)
4 Add Actions (Add an element, paper, title or journaling)
5 Batch Add Actions (Add an entire folder of images in 5 shadow options, large and small, top and bottom, or no shadow; PSE users see the tutorial for special instructions)
PDF Tutorial (Installating and explaining each action)
Video Tutorial (On using the Power Scrap Actions)

Personal use and scrap-4-hire use okay. Tested in PSCS3-5, English only; PSE 6-9.
