Photographic Christmas Card Collection

Photographic Christmas Card Collection by Courtney White Printing Instructions
There are several editable .doc files that have already been formatted as postcards, greeting cards and newsletters. These files will open in Microsoft Word or other word processor, where you will be able to add your own photos and text. Instructions for editing in MS Word are printed on the page - if you open the documents in another program, you can also edit, but the step by step instructions may be different. If your software is not compatible with the .doc file, the actual image files can be inserted into any document for any software program that allows images to be included. The images are PNG files that are compatible with most software programs such as Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, Publisher, PrintShop, etc. They are designed to be printed in color. Use your software program instructions for inserting images. Adjust the size and arrange them on the page as desired. The images are at a high resolution and are designed to be printed at a 4"x8", 5"x7" or 8.5"x11" size, and can be sized smaller to fit more on a page or larger, according to your needs. To layer your own photos, you need to set the layout or wrap to be behind text and size and position your photos in the spaces provided. Add your own text message on top of the card by positioning it in the space provided. Before printing png files from a graphics program or an internet browser, please use "print preview" to be sure that the image is the size you want. Most programs have a way to reduce or enlarge the size of the image before printing. Paper Selection You can print on white paper, white cardstock, or white photo paper, depending on the desired result. You may want to print on cardstock and overlay with a sheet of vellum and paper punch holes in each and attach with a ribbon. Using a colored/textured/patterned paper can change the coloring of the photos and give an undesireable effect. But layering the print outs with other decorative paper can be a lovely way to add impact to your project. Print Quality For best results, set your print quality to the highest setting.
