Page kits and templates

[andyapc]

I'm sure that this has been asked before, but I can't seem to find where. What is the difference between a page kit and a template? Also, are page kits interchangeable - can part of one be used with part of another?

Hey there! A page kit is "all the pieces". A template is all the pieces put together for you to open in your graphics program and create a layout. It's a ready-made layouts with all the layers in tact so you can play. You often get extra goodies in kits that are not included in the Template layout.

HTH?

Page kits are individual files in JPG and PNG format. Pieces of kits are interchangeable. A template contains all the pieces of a kit but is in 1 file in either PSD or PNG Plus format.

So if I'm understanding this correctly, a kit has all the pieces that I can move around but no sample layout, and a template is basically a sample layout but I can still move the pieces around. Is a template similar to a plopper because they are both layouts but the pieces can be moved around in a template and they are "cemented" in place in a plopper?
