Will SU digital downloads work in Microsoft Word? I don't have or want MDS, because I don't scrapbook, but I could use the digis on cards, if they are like other digis.

What are SU digital downloads and where do I get some??? I don't have Microsoft Word, but have Vista's word processor and that is what I use for sizing my digis. I don't do scrapebooking either. I hope I can send you a PM as I just realized we have something more in common. Joan How do I send a PM???
SU digis are wonderful. I just downloaded my first sets last week and finally had time to play with them this weekend. Here's one I did with the July 4th set. Patriotic Birthday by cindy501 at Splitcoaststampers
I manipulated my images in Microsoft Publisher but I'm sure you can use it in Word and as Colleen mentioned above they are JPEGs so can be used with a variety of photo editing or publishing programs. I look forward to doing more with the digital images. Some techniques you can't do but the digis have their own benefits too especially when you are short on space to store stamps.

Hi Cindy, love your July 4th card, but still wondering where the SU digi download stamps are, still trying to find my way around here. ;) Hugs Joan

Hi Joan...Try this link. It should take you to the SU on-line catalog page with the digital stamp sets. http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ItemL...categoryID=558
At check out, You will have to select a demonstrator to purchase the digital images so you will be directed to find your demonstrator or locate your demonstrator to finalize your purchase. I did it and it was real easy. I do however think you need some type of publishing program because I could not change the color of the image in Word like I could in Microsoft Publsher.

Hi, I could use some help. I downloaded three SU digital downloads and I can open them and use them in Microsoft Word (newest version). They are .png formatted and for some reason, under picture format feature, the "recolor" option is not available. I also tried with photoscape program and again, colorizing was not possible.
Does anyone have a solution to this short of buying a very expensive publishing software program?

Thank You,
Most times if downloadable images I've seen and purchased before from other companies are line drawings, which are great for coloring with markers, etc. but some of the Stampin Up images are solid and if you want to change the color it does present a challenge. Short of as you say buying an expensive program, you may want to consider checking out this free publishing program that I found on line. http://www.freeserifsoftware.com/sof...plus/index.asp.
I do not vouch for this program as being a safe download or do I know how to use it but it is a good option and probably something I would choose to use if I needed a publishign program. I do currently use other free downloaded software such as Picassa to manage my photographs and a sound player for my work as a transcriptionist and have not had any problems so there are some good free software out there. My only recommendation before downloading would be to make sure your virus and malware software is running and up to date.
These images can really be enjoyable and your point is very important as I am in the process of becoming a demo for SU and plan on directing some of my customers to the downloaded images but I should probably check out the program I mentioned to you and learn how to use it so I can offer it as an option to them. If you decide to go this route please come back and post and let me know how it worked for you.

I use Paint.net, which is a free program that can be downloaded off of the internet to re-color and make the digis the way I want them before printing them out. There are lots of tuts on Youtube that will walk you step by step on how to use it too!

You might give Paint.net a try. I use it and it is a free download. Youtube has a lot of tuts on how to use it as well.
I have to say that I downloaded the free software for PagePlus Starter found here: http://www.freeserifsoftware.com/ and played around with it with my Stampin up digital images and found it extremely easy to use. This is definitly a good option for changing the color and size of your images to suit your creative needs.

it is the one called pageplus starter edition. Hope that helps
Thanks, in the meantime I downloaded Gimp. Not sure how to use it though. I'll see if I can find help on YouTube.com. I'll go back and look for pageplus starter edition.

I have the SU digital scrapbooking program and am wondering how you "manipulate" an image and use it somewhere else. I am new to this digital scrapbooking stuff and am not sure what I am doing.

All you need to do is export it as a jpg. As I recall the option to choose is down in the righthand lower corner.
A free program that I use is Paint.net. It is a lot like Photoshop Elements, with several free plug ins that you can download making it possible to do whatever with your images. There are also lots of helpful tuts on YouTube for this program.
