A new set of free tag shapes for Photoshop is now available for all our registered users. So if you need a vector tag for your website design or for creating price tags you can use one of these shapes. The pack contains 16 custom shapes with different corner radius. They are very basic tag shapes that can be easily adapted to any design simply by using styles and textures.
Here’sa set of 21 layer styles that have been laying around the workshop for awhile. There’s a variety of designs here that you can use on text, shapes, or anything else you add to your graphics.
For a full preview, click the thumbnail. It shows each of the layer styles applied to a shape and to text. There’s also a “null” style included that will remove all layer styles from the layer so you can try a different one.
To install them into Photoshop Elements, simply download and unzip the package, drag them into your Add-O-Matic Which does all the heavy lifting for you, and they’ll show up in your Effects palette in the Layer Styles section. use the drop menu to navigate to “Graffi Styles”.
Enjoy!
Iwas asked recently to make an action that will create a new document for Scrapbook size (12” x 12”). In the North American version of Elements 8, that size is already there as a preset (click File>New>Blank , and choose it from the drop menu) so there’s no need for an action (although I can make one if you really want it….)
If you live in a place that isn’t the US, you can add this size by copying and pasting the code below into the file mentioned.
Open the file Default New Doc Sizes.txt located here in PSE 7 & 8:
Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements #\Locales\[your locale]\Support Files\
Scroll to the bottom of it (or within another section of the file – it will appear in the menu wherever you put it in this file):
;---------------------------------------------------------------------- ; Standard scrapbook sizes ;---------------------------------------------------------------------- "scrapbook" "12 in x 12 in" 12.0 12.0 inches 300 dpi unchanged 0 1.0 "8 in x 8 in" 8.0 8.0 inches 300 dpi unchanged 0 1.0 "6 in x 6 in" 6.0 6.0 inches 300 dpi unchanged 0 1.0 ?
If you want to add additional sizes, copy the format above and add the size you want. For a 5 in x 5 in 300 dpi document, for example, you would just add the line
"5 in x 5 in" 5.0 5.0 inches 300 dpi unchanged 0 1.0
If you will never, ever use a 6 x 6 or 8 x 8 document, simply place a ‘;’ at the beginning of those lines to force PSE to ignore them.
I like to make custom thumbnails, and even though PSE doesn’t care what size the .png is (see this article for reference), I like to keep them a common size – 64 x 64 px is the old standard.
So to my file, I added
"64 x 64" 64 64 pixels screen dpi RGB 8 1.0
and my preset is there.
One final note – be sure to save the file in Unicode format, or Elements won’t be able to read it. Also, be sure to save a backup of the original just restore if anything goes wrong!
