Is it possible to design Business Cards

Jan 18, 2012 7:57 AM

I'm a newcomer to the world of Photoshop Elements in fact I only loaded the Programme onto my computer 10 minutes ago.

Whilst browsing thru Photoshop Elements I noticed that in the "Create" section whilst it can do most things, I didn't see if you could

design Business Cards, has anyone tried this & with what success.

You can design a business card with PSE (in Full Edit, just create a blank document the size of a card and do what you want), but PSE is not good for printing sheets of cards. You would save your card in an image format like tiff, and place it in a template (you can get free biz card templates from all the companies that sell the pre-cut stock, like Avery) in your word processing or page layout program. PSE is primarily a photo editor and has many limitations as page layout/word processing software. That's not really what it's meant for.

Many thanks for the info, as you say the Programme is a Photo Editor, not a
Publisher.

Try Vistaprint. They have a host of templates and you simply enter your details on line.

You can get 250 free (you pay postage only) if you don’t mind their small logo on the back.

I’ve used them myself and it’s a very good service - depending on your location.

I agree with Barbara. But if you want professional looking business cards, there are printing companies that offer this kind of service. You can try Printplace.com to print business cards online. http://www.printplace.com/printing/business-card-printing.aspx
