A Kit/Element Credit question

I very rarely stick to just one or two kits; I make sure I list every single kit I use in the credits, even if it looks like a novel LOL

 

*giggles* I've had some credits like that too! I always tell myself to stick to ONE kit, but yeah, there's so many amazing things in my stash it makes it hard!

 

That's so cute! I usually use lots of different kits, too.

 

I would list the kits that are still on sale. Then I'd list the remaining credits as items from retired kits by designers .....

 

Fantastic page! I list every kit from every designer. Even if I’ve just used a staple from a kit, I’ll list it, as well as link it to the store page (no offsite linking though). I do note if a kit is retired. @DisneyMom

 

@DisneyMom Did you get that link I gave to you in yesterday's chat for PhotoShop with the free Supply tracker script? If you need it just holler. I list everything, and that tracker seems to help on long lists oof credits as long as the elements and papers are listed in the layer pallet. I "Place" my objects into my workspace so the item name is listed in the layer. (File>Place Embedded) which will also allow for it to be a smart object too! Hope this helps!

(And I link mine as Margaret (@londoncuppa) said, but also as she said we do not allow off site linking.)

 

it sounds like a pain i know if you are planning a massive mix and match, but i think of it as writing references or footnotes as i would in a piece of formal writing - instead of crediting someone's published ideas or justification for my statements, I'm just crediting other people's (designers) input into my creation - if they didn't make stuff, i wouldn't have a page.
Additionally i know it has helped others find certain products from my pages before.
With mix and match, sometimes my credits look like this https://the-lilypad.com/forum/galleries/dlp-carousel-right.318120/

 

I can only say it again (and I know everybody is tired of it already, )...I highly recommend Anna Forrest's credit tracker (if you use PS that is).

 

I have some very long credit lists but I haven't bothered with a tracker. I just have good typing skills and a big screen (so it's easy to scroll through my palette and type the credits; the palette scrolls even though my browser window is the active one. I use an Apple Magic Trackpad, but I think it'd work that way with an ordinary mouse too.)

 

I open a file from my PC's notepad and write down what I'm using, so I can save this file and use it later, specially when I need to post a page for a special ocasion like challenges, byoc's release, sosn, and I'm at work, without access to my scrap supplies!!
and yes, I do credit everything, even if it's a loooong list!

 

I haven't been able to get it to work on pscc lately.
So, I stick to the free one above that Christa mentioned, or I do it the Cheryl way.
As I pull from a kit, I copy and paste the kit name onto file info as I go.

 

That's a real bummer, Courtney. It runs ok on my CC.

 

^^^that's what I do. It's easy for me and running an action isn't always possible cuz I delete my TIFF before posting my LO (esp. if it's a CT page that I made a week or so before posting). I wasn't able to drag-and-drop items and keep their file names until getting PS CC (I used to have PSCS3), and while I don't rely on a layer's name to make my notepad file, I do like having that info to double-check.
