Digi Kits

How do digi kits work? can you print one image only as you want? can it be resized? when you print does the color come out different than what it looks like on screen? do you use a lot of ink? curious and any info. would be helpful! thanks!

if you look at your printer settings there might be a facility to multi print the same image or a few different images per page, but you will need to adapt your sizes to make sure you get full images, failing that something like picaso which i actually prefer as that gives you a option to check out the print quality, as some images dont adapt to being bigger or even the size you save them as but if you make them smaller the quality can be improved dramatically.

There are many Free Digi Kits (just sort them from price low to high & the free ones will show up first) You might want to try that, before spending any money, just to check them out. There are countless other free kits too.

You can play around with the elements/papers in the kits, size them down (but not up, because it gets pixelly). You can change the colour of them, crop them, mask them, duplicate, whatever you want, just REMEMBER when you are saving your changed image, save it as a DIFFERENT name so that you don't over write the original file. That way, you can reuse it again & again. Once you've down loaded it, it's yours for as long as you keep it on your hard drive.

Also if you change anything, you still need to give credit to the original artist (ie don't pass it off as your own kit, just because you've blended it into something else).
