Some companies, like Scrap Girls, offer commercial licenses on certain of their design products.
Sometimes it’s hard to determine where to draw the line. If you are making cards for your personal use rather than for sale, that should be OK. But what if you make 200 wedding invitations for your daughter’s friend’s cousin’s aunt? That’s probably not.
First, that’s not for your personal use; and second, though you may not gain commercially, your daughter’s friend’s cousin’s aunt certainly does.
Anyway, if you want to create original graphics so you can sell them or simply because you are not satisfied with the graphics in your card program, I recommend either Photoshop CS or its less expensive cousin , Photoshop Elements. There is hardly a graphics manipulation job you can’t do with them.
This site contains many tutorials and tips for using Photoshop. Just type Photoshop into the search box to find them.
Scrap Girls frequently features tutorials for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements in their free daily newsletter. For those who want a more structured approach, they offer a downloadable course called "Scrapbook Secrets Revealed: Photoshop”. Don’t be fooled by the “scrapbook” in the title.
This course of movies will teach you – no, show you – step-by-step how to make the most of Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. They cover it all: from photo correction/manipulation to layering to creating your own brushes, papers and templates.
