This is my latest scrapbook page. The background was created in the PhotoWorkshop using the "Old Photo" transparent effect on a black square. I embossed it, darkened and tinted it dark blue to get this rough, scratched textured background.

what do you mean by "embossed it"?

There is an embossing filter in the PhotoWorkshop's Photo Effects... Artistic.

What a great layout! I would have never found this site if it weren't for my problems with printing. Anyway...I can't find the "Old Photo" transparent effect. Does the photo need to be a bitmap? Thanks for sharing your work.

You can apply the old photo effect to any image. It does not have to be a bitmap. (I used a square made with the drawing tools.) Highlight your image, click Photo Tools, Special Effects & Edges, then click the tab, "Special Edges" and scroll to Old Photo.

I didn't describe ALL of the steps I took to create the above background because it's rather lengthy. I'll just add that the PhotoWorkshop only works with rastor images (BMP, JPG, TIF, etc.) so I had to export my square as a JPG, then add it back into the workspace so that I could apply photo effects to it. e.g. emboss, colourize, tint, etc.

Thanks for your compliments! I love making digital scrapbook pages and this is the program that really got me going. If you buy the magazine, "Simple Scrapbooks", in the coming Nov/Dec issue, you will see a layout I made with Creating Keepsakes Scrapbook Designer. In fact, I used the Old Photo effect on this layout!
