Using a plopper

[andyapc]

I'm learning DIP9 and I recently purchased Margie's "scrappies" CD. My question is: how do I go about using a plopper???? Where do I even begin? Thanks for any help!!

open it up in DIP and open your photo. Paste it onto the plopper and move and resize it until it fits in the "hole".

Never used DIP, so if this doesn't work hopefully Tina will answer! :D

I think most of Margie's ploppers are just .jpg's so there is no "hole" for your photo. But all of them have photo mats so just open up the plopper, insert your photo, fit it on the page on the photo mat. You may have to use your transparency brush set at 100 and erase part of the photo to fix under "photo corners" or the like.

yep, what she said. all are jpgs, so you plop a pic on top. two are pngs though, the vellum set, and you can put your photos under it as there's an actual window for them. hth. Ü

OK - I think I'll try it. Just one more question: Is there anyway to transfer the CD material onto my computer, so that I don't have to keep inserting the CD into my computer? That may sound like a basic question, but the only other computer CD that I ever bought was DIP9 and that obviously had to be installed. I just wasn't sure CD's like Margie's worked the same way??? Does this question even make sense?

Andrea you can just copy and paste the files to a folder and label it SB stuff.
To get to the files on the CD--right click on the CD drive and Explore.
That will show you all the files on the CD. Then copy and paste to the new folder. You can create a folder on one of your drives to paste the files into. If you only have a C drive then make a temp folder by clicking File-->New-->folder and then name it and paste the files into it. Remember this place because then you can come back to it to find your files.
Hope this helps.
