Digital Scrapbooking...How to set up layout in Photoshop Elements and upload to print at Costco?

I am new to digi scrapping, but would like to try printing out my 12x12 projects. I hear Costco is good. Any tips or step-by-step instructions on how to set this up? What do I basically need to do to have a nice turn out? Help...Digital Scrapbooking...How to set up layout in Photoshop Elements and upload to print at Costco?
set up a new file with dimensions of the finished page if you're okay with a border (for full bleed to all edges you need to do a page larger than the finished product and trim it down). depending on the hoped for quality and what the original photos you're using are sized to, you may want to try different dpi (dots per inch, the higher the dpi, the higher the quality).





use the various elements tools such as text, color fill (paint bucket), layering. to copy in other photos - open the digital photo, select all, copy, and then paste in the new file.





a file with multiple layers and such will probably be saved as a photoshop document (.psd) which you can still go back in and edit easily. to take to costco you need to save as a jpeg (.jpg).





hope this helps...good luck!Digital Scrapbooking...How to set up layout in Photoshop Elements and upload to print at Costco?
I think all you need to do is convert your finished page to a JPG format.
