Photokina report
Epson America, Inc. today announced the availability of four digital scrapbooking reference guides - "Introduction to Technology," "Digital Scrapbooking Kits," "Divine Secrets of the Design Sisterhood," and "Scrapbooker's Guide to Photo Corrections & Artistic Effects" - which provide consumers with useful instructions on using technology as yet one more scrapbooking technique. From basic techniques describing how to use a digital camera, photo printer and scanner, to more advanced instruction detailing ways to use Adobe Photoshop Elements image-editing software to enhance photos and create digital scrapbook pages, these reference guides are designed for consumers at every skill level.
Epson - Digital scrapbooking
"Epson has always been dedicated to providing the scrapbooking market with innovative and fun ideas for digital scrapbooking," said Barbara Kotsos, senior manager, scrapbooking solutions. "Our expert digital scrapbooking trainers teach Epson classes throughout the year, and we are excited to now offer their personal insight and expertise in these new guides, which answer the questions asked most often in the classes. They are simple and easy to understand, making them great alternatives for anyone who cannot attend our classes, but still wants to learn the tricks of the trade."
Epson Easy-to-Use Guides
All four scrapbooking reference guides are full-color, glossy booklets containing detailed instructions and corresponding images and diagrams for consumers to easily follow. Each guide will initially ship while supplies last with a bonus CD with printable elements and pages from well-known designers to help consumers with their digital scrapbooking projects, including patterned pages, page layouts, embellishments, fonts, stamps, templates, and more, depending on the corresponding guide.
