How do i make a transparency template?

[troush]

Do you mean a template with a hole in it for the picture to show through? You will have to save as a PNG file to preserve transparency.

I want to make a plate template

[troush]

Oh. The main thing to preserve transparency is to save as a psd, png, or tiff file (they support transparency). I guess you draw a circle the diameter of the plate and layer your design on top of that, then hide the circle layer and print it out on your transparency.

I've never done that before.

How do i add my pages into the gallery?

Hi MarieLouise,
You'll find complete details on how to upload to the Gallery in our How-To Guides. You'll find those at the top of the Forum home page.

We'll look forward to seeing your work!

I instaled the 10 mesh patterns and when i open artwork and effects they are not there.

[troush]

They won't be in artwork and effects. You will only see them when you do a Fill->Pattern - you will find them there.

Marielouise,

After you've finished a layout save it. Then click on File->Save for Web. On the right hand of the dialog that comes up there are height and width fields. Make the longest side 600 and press the Apply button that is below those two fields. Then, up in the right corner you will see a circle with a triangle (see this (http://www.scrappersguide.com/forums/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=10650&cat=500&ppuser=413) picture to help find it), click on that, and choose "Optimize to File Size." Another small dialog will pop up. Put 120KB in the field on that dialog. Click Okay, and then click on the Okay button on the save for web dialog.

To upload your new smaller layout, click on "Gallery" up towards the top of this page. Then, you will find a link that says "Upload Photos" (or something to that effect). Click on that and follow the instructions on that page.
