Eep...I did a Digi-scrap Process Video

[dailydwelling]

So...a long time ago I had this idea to do digi-scrap process videos. I think I did one and then got scared...and intimidated. And then I started watching Cheryl's awesome videos and got inspired but even more intimidated.

After last night's "Scrap with Cheryl" chat I was inspired again and just went for it this afternoon. It is probably longer than it should be because I'm talking my way through, but I had fun making it.

Here it is if you would like to take a look. Don't feel the need to watch the whole thing.

It was too long for me but I skipped ahead a lot and found two great things. First, you reminded me how to put the layer style on its own layer so we can manipulate it, something I've been wanting to do.

And watching you use an action to save for web makes me want to learn how to create actions like that. Question: I've just been using Image Resize in the Image menu. It looks like your action used something else -- like the Save for Web I remember from PSElements but I don't see that in the file menu in my PSCC . . . ?

Thanks!

@michelepixels It's in Photoshop CC as file>export>save for web (legacy)

Thanks so much for looking through!!!

@michelepixels , I use Paislee Press resize for web action -
https://the-lilypad.com/store/resize-for-web-photoshop-action.html (it's free as well - total bonus!)

I have PSE and it's so easy and works beautifully. I think a couple of other designers have similar actions as well. It's a crisper finished product than just image resizing form your drop down menu.

Yep! Like @KarenW I use an action too (by Fiddle Dee Dee) to save for web. It's crisper for sure!
