A close friend of mine just had her first child.  Neither of us are traditional pastel colored type people and she wasn’t interested in the typical baby book.  My gift to her will be baby’s album done digitally, the album will be more of "remember those moments" type of book rather than their first food, first step, etc. type of book.  But to get there, I wanted a place for her to journal her thoughts and memories and place her photos, which I can then use to create a baby book for her.   So I created a baby’s first year journal to give as a gift now.    The first page has a few of the traditional facts to fill out but after that its places to write.  For each month, I provide different journaling prompts (something to write about) and photo ideas (different ideas/poses to take photos of.) 

I am very happy with how the book turned out.  I printed at Lulu and was very excited at the quality and price.  This isn’t one of their "photo books" but one of their normal books printed with all digital layouts (images.)

Here’s how it turned out:

Last night, I handed it to my husband and said I got my present for my friend.    He took a quick glance at it and said that’s nice.  I gave him a "look" and asked aren’t you even going to look at it?  He looked down at it and realized his mistake and replied, "You made this? I thought you had just went and bought it for her."   No, no, I didn’t. 

Today, I am working with 2 people that their external hard drive crashed on them.   Hard drives fail period.  It really is a matter of time before your does.  So are you protecting your data?   A backup means that you have 2 copies of something on different drives/media.   A while ago, I wrote an article on different options you can choose to backup your documents and images:  General Backup Information.   It’s a general overview. 

I personally have chosen to use multiple External Hard Drives and periodically backup to DVD.  The backup DVD’s are then taken out of my house to another location in case of a home disaster.   Many new services are now offering an online backup service.  Mozy and Carbonite are 2 common online services that I hear that digiscrappers are using.  I am going to go over some of Mozy’s services and features today:

Mozy offers 2 plans for home users 

1. The first is a free plan that allows you to backup 2 Gig worth of data.   This is a great way to try out the system and see if it will work for you.
2. The other plan is $4.95 a month and it allows you to backup unlimited amount of data.

How does it work? 

• You can customize what you want backed up.   The tool makes suggestions for what you should backup and also allows you to do a custom backup where you choose the folder or files.
• Your files are then copied via a secure connection over the internet to Mozy servers.
• The initial backup may take a while.   On a fast connection, they say you can back up 9 GB a day.  So the first Mozy backup will take a while if you back up all your digital scrapbooking kits!  If it isn’t done backing up and you turn off your computer, the next time you turn on your computer, it will continue where it left off.
• After that, the next backups will go quicker because it will only transfer files that have been added or changed
• What happens if I need something?   Then you can choose to restore a single file or all of it.  Mozy also can create a DVD and mail the files to you.
• It may or may not work with an External Hard Drive and that depends on the type of External Hard Drive you have.

Advantages:

• Easy to setup and configure.
• No hassle in burning CDs/DVDs or storing them.
• If something happens to your home where your computer is, your files are backed up safely elsewhere.

Disadvantages

• If you don’t have a fast internet connection, online backup storage is not the way to go.
• Maybe unrealistic for backing up ALL your entire digital kit collection which means many Gigs.

Doing Quick Pages with ACDSee Photo Editor isn’t totally straightforward, but it is easy!

1. Open up your APD file:
2. Select all image objects.
3. Choose Adjustments | Light | Threshold…
4. Change the Threshold to 100 and click OK.
5. You should now have black pictures on your layout:
6. Select all objects and choose Object | Convert to Image (Render)
7. Select the Magic Wand.
   1. Change the settings to Tolerance 1 px and uncheck “Select Color Through Image”
   2. Click on first black image.
   3. Hit delete
   4. Click on every other image square and hit delete.
8. And you are left with a Quick Page with no images.
9. Save as a png file.

Note: The one time you may have issues with this method is if there was a black thing next to your photos. Then in the threshold step, change the threshold to 0, to get white blocks to delete. And hopefully you don’t have pure black and white elements next to your images. Then this method may not work.

I was very happy that I am in the “15 minutes a day tagging mode.” I was all caught up when I had a few CT kits and a huge Collab kit to download and get tagged. Even that didn’t set me back, I am all done and ready for the next set of kits. I am all backed-up and optimized, my author categories are cleaned up and I have much more streamlined tags and categories.
Today, I am going to get to work on a task that I have been dreading: Organizing Fonts
I want to remind everyone of my disclaimer that I stated the first week of this challenge. This is only my way of doing things. It works for me; however, it might not work for you . And that is 100% OK. If you have a different way to do any of, and would like to share, you can post in the “Organization Challenges with Chris Forum“.
I do not keep many of my fonts installed on my computer. I really like to collect fonts and I have a lot- at least a few thousands. Keeping them all installed makes my computer extremely angry with me. The system I have devised is to keep most of my fun fonts onto my second hard drive. You may choose to do this in a separate folder, on an external hard drive or on a different drive. All of my scrapping supplies are on my second hard drive so that is where I keep my fonts.
So first, what I did is figure out which fonts had to stay installed.

TIP: For a list of Windows Fonts that should not be uninstalled, read this first.

Second, I needed to choose a few fonts that I use all of the time, is several different programs to keep installed. These are the ones that would be more inconvenient to had uninstalled than installed. I chose a couple of script, and a couple of handwriting style fonts that I really consider as my favorites.
The rest of the fonts are then uninstalled. I used The Font Thing (TFT), which is what I used for my font browsing before Photo Manager. Once I was done with TFT, I uninstalled it as there was no need for it any more.
TIP: You can find The Font Thing here.

I have found that I like to keep my Fonts in Sub-Folders in different Categories rather than having them in one folder and being tagged. Feel free to try it this way or by tagging and see which one makes more sense to you.
What I did next was create a folder tree in Photo Manager for my fonts. On my second hard drive, where I have all of my scrap supplies, I created a folder called Ta-da! …. Fonts.
Under that, I made new folders for the different style fonts I use. Here you can see how my folders are set up in Photo Manager.

You can make as few or as many folder as you wish. It all depends on how many and what style fonts you have.
TIP: If you need ideas for font styles dafont.com has a very good list of font styles.

From there, I dragged all of my uninstalled fonts from where they originally were located, right on into the new Fonts folder. From there, I just scrolled on down,Ctrl-Clicked similar fonts and then dragged them into the appropriate folder.
To use these fonts when scrapping is really easy, even though they are not installed. Before you open your editing program, open Photo Manager, select the fonts you wish to use, then go to Database | Rebuild Thumbnails and Metadata.

Open your editing program. When you are ready to work with the fonts, simply drag them from Photo Manager into the program. The fonts will be loaded onto your computer only while your editing program is open. When you close it, the fonts automatically unload.
For more details you can read here:
Fonts: How can I view them?

How to use Uninstalled Fonts in your scrapbooking program

ACDSee Photo Manager can change the sample text of your font.

The other thing we are going to work on this week is to remove extra back ups that are stored on your hard drive. ACDSee does not overwrite the back up data, it makes a new folder each time you back up. So if you back up a lot, which is a very good idea, you may have a lot of back-ups on your hard drive that are taking up precious storage space.

To do this in Version 9, the default location is:

C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\Local settings\Application Data\ACD Systems\Catalogs\90\ACDSeeBK

For Version 10, the default location is:

C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\Local settings\Application Data\ACD Systems\Catalogs\100\ACDSeeBK

For a full explanation, click here.

Tasks for Week 4:
1. Back up and Optimize
2. If you use Photo Manager to view fonts, set up a system to keep you better organized.
3. If you find fonts that you know you will never use, have duplicate fonts or corrupted fonts, delete them and don’t look back!
4. If you have any credit information on these fonts, go ahead and put that information in the Caption or Notes section.
5. Check to see how many back- up files you have and delete as many as you feel comfortable.

If you are running ACDSee Photo Editor on Vista then you should get this latest free version.  It fixes an issue with using the color picker.

1. Go to Help | About and write down your license number.
2. Unintall your current version of ACDSee Photo Editor.
3. Download the update found on this page:  ACDSee Photo Editor Update
4. Reinstall this new version of ACDSee Photo Editor

I’ve had a lot of requests to explain my speed tagging system and include screenshots so here it is. Of course, all the credit goes to Heidi and Connie for providing this site where I learned all these tips and tricks…this is just how I’ve combined them to make organizing my digi supplies a fast and fun process.

Step 1. Select a range of folders in your file list. Try not to bite off more than you can do in one sitting. In order to include sub-folders you need to expand your file tree…highlight the parent folder above the ones you want to work on and use the asterisk * key to open all of the sub-folders at once…hit it again if you still have plus + signs showing. If you have alphas mixed in with other files, separate them into their own folders first.

Step 2. In the center pane just above your thumbnails click the drop-down boxes to Group by ‘File Type’ and then Sort by ‘File Size’. This places JPEG’s together, previews on top, paper below. The next group is PNG’s and small files like staples are on top while the largest ones, usually quick-pages and overlays, are near the bottom of the group. Layered PSD files are in a separate group as are ABR files. Be careful when you’re ready to work through your PNG’s, to select kit folders but skip the alpha folders.

Step 3. You can tag by selecting multiple thumbnails such as all the quick-pages and dragging the thumbnails to the category in the Organize pane, the category to one of the selected thumbs, or by checking the box next to the category in the Properties pane (make sure it’s on the Database tab)

Step 4. Highlight only one designer’s folders, click inside the center pane and use Ctrl I to select all images, then assign the designer’s name to the Author field. Select only the folders belonging to a particular kit and use Ctrl I again then add the kit name under Caption. You can see that I changed my ACDSee thumbnail display options to show author and caption instead of filename. I can also choose for the Generate File Listing function to include these fields and easily handle credits.

I had several starts using several types of organizing systems and this is what ended up fitting my style. There are many ways to use ACDSee Photo Manager and it’s flexibility is part of what makes it such a powerful tool for digital scrapbookers, professional photographers, or anyone with a lot of media files to organize.

The yummy kits featured in this tutorial are from the 4 Seasons CD which is only available with the purchase of ACDSee Photo Manager and/or Photo Editor
And be sure to grab the 20% off discount code on our Birthday Celebration page here at DSI! Happy Tagging everyone!

OK, I admit it, I was really really bad about doing 15 minutes a day. The early part of the week I was actually quite busy. If you haven’t seen, The ACDSee Team and I were planning a big birthday celebration. That ended up being priority for a few days. However, what I did was work for 15 minutes each on Monday and Thursday and 30 minutes on Friday. The rest of the weekend, I was able to get in at least 15 minutes each day. So it works out ok, right?

My Week Two Tasks:

• Back Up and Optimize Database: This is so routine now for me that I didn’t even have to think twice about doing this. I made sure that I backed up after each of my big tagging and purging sessions, since I didn’t want to lose any of the new information I had entered.
• Clean up at least two Categories: I kept on working on the Ribbons and Fibers and the Bow Categories. I really got so much of that cleaned up. I found some that still needed designers names, so I added them. The other category I worked on was Frames- I wanted to have better sub-categories. I added Wrapped Frames to the Cluster Sub-category. To do this: In the Organize Pane, Right Click on the Category you want to edit, then, Click on Edit Category. You can then rename that Category. When you right Click, you can also delete or add a new category.

Delete any files that you know that you will never use: Oh boy, I went through my Templates Folder. I guess when I first started digi-scrapping, templates were one of the big, hot items that were given out as freebies. I had a lot-lot-LOT of templates. A lot of them, I would never use, and some I could never use. Why was I saving PSP Templates? I don’t have PSP! I also has tiffs and psds of the same template. I was able to really toss out quite a bit of stuff. And you know what? It actually felt good!

• Continue to tag any files. Spend about 15 minutes a day doing this: Well, I did my best!

As you see, last week I was able to get a lot of miscellaneous files better organized. I hate that feeling of “things stuck in the corners” either in my home or in my computer folders. Do you have a stack pf papers that get shuffled from place to place or worse, simply ignored? That is what these files were like, so it felt refreshing to have them cleaned out and put in their proper place, even if it ended up being the recycle bin.
While I am sure we all have some more folder that can use some extra attention, but let’s move on to another problem that I know I have been ignoring: Duplicate Authors. In your Organize Pane, you will see a Section called Auto Categories.

Photo Manager comes with pre-installed categories for these that are not editable. However, there are two sub-categories, Commonly Used and Photo Properties and you can move them between these two sub-categories. To do this, right click on the category, and you can either “Add to Commonly Used” or “Remove from Commonly Used.”
To work in the Author Category, click on the on the +sign to the left of Author. This will drop down all of your authors.
TIP: This will only work if you have been adding the designer to the Author Box in the Properties Pane. If you have not been adding the Designer’s name, you can read how to do it here: Easily add Designer and Kit Name

As I am scrolling down, I see lots of duplicate authors. Here is a sample of the different entries I have for Danielle Young.

I have one in lower case and one misspelled.To combine these into one category, select all variations of the author by checking the box next to the name. Make sure that you have Match Any selected.

Select All or Ctrl-A.

Go to the Properties Pane. Click in the Author Box, the program will ask you to Reset Author for all selected files? Click Yes. Then type the correct name into the Author Box and hit Enter. When you go back to the Organize Pane, you should only see the one, correct Author name. If not, refresh the page (F5) and that should do the trick.

TIP: Sometimes, you’ll get a “stubborn” author that doesn’t want to go away. So far, I have not been able to figure out how to get rid of them- so if you know, email me digiscrapinfo@gmail.com or post in this thread.

This task is somewhat time consuming, but it really helps to when you want to search for a product made by a certain designer. For people on CT’s , this is especially helpful when creating a layout for a specific designer. Say I am creating a layout for Nina Scraps and I want to only use her products. All I have to do is click the box next her name and it will bring up all of her designs. If I want to further refine my search and look only for frames by her, I switch the Match Any/All to “All” and select both her name and Frames.

Tasks:

1. Back up and optimize your database.
2. Clean up duplicate or misspelled Authors.
3. Continue sorting out any other categories that you didn’t get to last week.
4. Continue tagging 15 minutes a day.
