Step 1 - download the
content
When I download and "webstuff"
I download just the "webstuff" to a folder
I created named pcHugClub
on my C drive
Thisi s the folder I
have downloaded and installed the
Desktop
Manager
For my regular downloads
of creatables, hugbars, pcdolls, etc - I always download
those to my folder PC
HugWare
You
may choose to download all things from PCCrafter
to
the PC HugWare Folder and install everything in one folder
**Just
be sure to be consistent in downloading, and making note on your screens
as
to where the downloads are going to.
If
others have used your computer, previously,
or
if you have recently saved, or downloaded
documents,
or files from the net to a "different" folder,
your
computer may be showing as the destination folder,
the
last one you saved to -
Remember
The RATS RULE
of Computing
Read
ALL
The
Screens.
Once the file has been
downloaded to this folder,
I go to my C drive, and
click
to open the pcHugClub
folder
Step 2 - install the downloaded
file
For this example I will
click on the downloaded
HCNOV04WEB.exe file to
install
As you click on the exe
file the second screen that should
appear will be where
the file will install to (the Destination Folder)
this is where you must
note where this file will be located on your computer.
Since I want it to install
in the pcHugClub folder, I can press the "Next" button,
because that choice is
the destination folder showing. If it was NOT, I would
click on the "Browse"
button and browse my C drive to find the Folder I want to
to install into.
Once installed (if this
is your first time installing items to a webstuff folder)
you will see separate
folders that hold the various elements of the HCWEB monthly downloads
the folders each have
subfolders within them with each "months" content.
Each month when you install
a downloaded file, each of the monthly elements will
automatically go into
their folder.
Refer to the PCCrafter
instructions for other uses of using web stuff downloads
For this tutorial I will
open the etags folder, and show how I move/copy these images for other
uses
I save/copy any jpg or
graphic images to my PCCrafter Hugbug Deluxe Browser, and within the
Painted Images Folder,
under a separate folder I created and named 4mycreations
I copy the 3 images from
the November web etags
using my Windows tasks
options -
I copy all 3 to my HugBug
Browser choosing the path:
C:/PC HugWare/Collections/Images/Painted/4mycreations
The next screen is of
my HugBug Deluxe Browser
opened and opening the
4mycreations folder
and showing one of the
etags images I copied to it.
Now I have available from
the deluxe browser, the image,
which I can now use the
drag and drop feature, and take to
my graphics program Adobe
PhotoShop Elements
Which for this example,
I have open at the same time to work with my images
I put cursor over image,
then hold left mouse key down, press the "Shift Key"
and drag the image into
the Photoshop Elements workspace
While in the workspace
I can apply text to the image
and then save the image.
I usually choose to save as
a web ready image (a
.gif file image) , and retain its transparency (no white around it)
and resize if needed.
(*Please note if parts of the image that were
white and the
transparency
was showing through parts I wanted to maintain as "white"
such
as in "Snowman or snow" images etc. - I would use my paintcan fill tool
to fill in
the
white areas with the white color, and then save the image)
Here is the final image
saved, created using the webstuff etag
