Organizing kits in PSE4

[polkdeb2002]

I use PSE4 and so far I love it. It took some time for me to get use to it and I am still learning. I probably don't know half of the great things that it can do. What I need help with is finding the kit that I am looking for if I am looking for a specific color, etc. Is there a way that I can put my kits in PSE4 so that I can see what colors or elements they contain? Right now when I look for a kit I go through all of my designers and click on every kit so I can see what is inside, I have a lot of kits so you can imagine how long it takes. If there was some way that I could get a thumbnail to come up or something that would give me some idea of what is inside it would be so much easier.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

you can assign keywords to each embellishment (or even the kit sample) using the tags.

Thanks! But I still have a problem with being able to see my kits. I think I have a good idea of what to do however now that I have played around with it. Thanks,

I printed out all the contact sheets of the kit and put it in a file, then I can flip and decide what I want to use ! I havent actually put my kits into the organiser - I dont find it that user friendly .

In the Organizer, I made a tag for Previews/Contact Sheets & tag each kit's preview. That way I can view all my kits fairly quickly. Similar to printing each one and putting in a binder, but it is on the computer.

Doh!

Great tip. Simple and very functional. It never occurred to me to do this.

I tag each kit with the preview page and then I break it all down into categories: designer, quick pages, paper, brads, ribbons, tags, etc.... I even separate paper into sections: colors (red, blue, etc..), patterns (stripes, plaid, etc...), overlays...That way I can find exactly what element I need and change the colors to match my layout if it's from another kit ;)
