\"cass-MergeGroupRename\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You probably want to complete your scrapbook project as fast as possible. You probably have more than one page to finish and are running a bit out of time. This new script is just a wonderful time-saving tool to help you achieve your goal of finishing faster and more efficiently.<\/p>\n

By default, when you merge a group of layers, it will keep the name of the top \u201clayer\u201d but that name is most often, not very meaningful. This script will remember the name of the active layer when you run the script and will rename the merged layer to that name. No fuss. No typing. No copying and pasting.<\/p>\n

Without this script, you would require a total of 11 clicks to get the same thing (assuming you are copying and pasting instead of retyping), but with this script, if you bind it and place it in a convenient place, it will require ONE SINGLE click. Talk about saving time! that means that the process will be TEN TIMES faster than the old manual way.<\/p>\n

This script can be purchased in my store: Creation Cassel<\/font><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

This script is a perfect companion to a few others to speed up the scrapping process for any user. You can start by using the free script, Open As Layer \u2013 Rename<\/font><\/strong><\/a>, which will allow you to open one or more papers or elements just the way you would normally do, but it will take care of copying them and pasting them onto your current project in addition to renaming each layer based on the filename of those papers or elements. This allows you to remember what kit this element was from (assuming the initial file is named properly).<\/p>\n

Once you have your papers or photos onto your work, if you are using a template, you will want the flexibility of adjusting their placement, rotation, and size without fuss. That is when the Clip To It<\/font><\/strong><\/a> script becomes another time saver in addition to making the process simpler and non destructive as it will \u201cconvert\u201d the template shape into a mask from which you can see how the photo or the paper will look like before \u201ccutting\u201d anything.<\/p>\n

Then, once you have your mask group, created by the Clip To It<\/font><\/strong><\/a> script, and you have adjusted the paper or the photo to your liking, it is time to merge it all in a single layer (if you want) using the Merge Group \u2013 Rename<\/font><\/strong><\/a> script.<\/p>\n

\"cass-QuickScrapBundle\"<\/a>Since those three scripts are so useful in your toolbox to complete your scrapbook project faster, we also have the combo available for you. It is called Quick Scrap Bundle<\/font><\/strong><\/a> as it will do just that: make you scrap quickly.<\/p>\n
