All images included with a Scrap Girls digital scrapbook collection are JPG or PNG files at 300 pixels per inch (ppi) – which is the industry standard for printable images. PNG files have transparent backgrounds which is typical for embellishment-type files, because it allowing them to be layered with drop shadows to create realistic digital scrapbook pages.

Papers, alphas, and embellishments can be printed for use in traditional paper scrapbooking or they can be used digitally in software programs such as Photoshop. Creating scrapbook layouts digitally allows you to have the best of both worlds. You can print out your layouts in 12×12-inch or 8×8-inch format (either at a professional printshop or at home) and you can email your digital layouts to family and friends or share them with the world on social media.

Background papers are sized 12 x 12 inches at 300 ppi. Embellishments, word art, and alphas are delivered both as individual images as well as composite 8.5 x 11 pages at 300 ppi. These composite pages are set up to for easier home printing and can also be used with your software's Selection Tool to move parts onto a layout.

The beauty of digital scrapbooking kits is everything is coordinated for you to make multiple layouts. You can use digital papers and elements over and over again because they never get used up, wrinkled, or torn. You can even adjust the color to make an element match your photo.
