Hi Linda,

Regarding the photoshop video question - I'll have to let someone else handle that as I haven't seen it -sorry!

Do you have a specific question about Export and Import? The way that you've been using Export sounds right - Export turns a scrapbook into a template that you can use for another project.

Here's a little info on templates and the export/import function. Forgive me if I'm being too basic, but I want to make sure that I get at your question:

A Template is a starting point for your scrapbook. It's like a ready-made scrapbook where all you need to do is insert your pictures. SBM allows you to turn your scrapbooks into templates (by choosing File > Export Template) so that you can share them with others or use them again for different pictures.

The basic difference between a scrapbook and a template is that you PUBLISH a scrapbook, and you USE or SHARE a template.

As for the IMPORT function, this allows you to insert a template that you have somewhere else on your computer into SBM to use. Note that the templates that people are posting in the forums as .smt files are AUTOMATICALLY inserted into SBM when you download them, so you don't evne need to use the Import function.

For more on sharing/using templates read the following:

For a further explanation on exporting templates, you can read Chapter 4 in the User's Guide (Help > Scrapbook MAX! User's Guide) on working with pages, or view it on line at:

Note that in the guide, sometimes templates are also called "themes".

Linda - PLEASE let me know if you have other questions about this issue - we'd be glad to help. Sometimes, for whatever reason, I read a question in the forums and if I don't understand it right away, I don't answer rather than answering and confusing the other person (hoping another person will jump in.) Hope I haven't confused you!

I hope you get this reply soon

I have made a layout not as good as the ones i have seen

The Question is it is 1,616 kb big is this to big?

Linda

[Karin]

Linda- have you tried to post it and found that you had problems? Is that why you're wondering if it is too big?

In case that's the problem, make sure that you publish at High quality, but Medium size if you want to post your layout in the gallery here in the forums. (When you choose Publish To >Images, a box will show up where you can set Image quality to High, and Image Size to Medium). This should make it right for posting.

If that doesn't solve your question, please let us know.
