Free dotScrap graphics and templates

Your FotoFusion license entitles you to use a collection of dotScrap templates and graphics at no charge.
 
Essentials license holders have the basic collection; Enhanced users have additional materials; and Extreme users have the largest available collection. YearbookFusion have a custom set of graphics suited to their particular needs.
No one license type has access to the entire collection.
 

To access these materials, you will need to launch FotoFusion with an active high-speed internet connection.
(Learn how you can download dotScrap items for offline use.)

 

The list of material will grow with time, and will be updated automatically as new material is uploaded to the LumaPix server.

 

 

You can access this free material in two ways:

 

Free content via the Start Zone

Under the Start Zone, click on the Bundled Content icon button to open the list of available materials.

Hover on any thumbnail to see a larger view.

 

 

 

To add any item to your project, click on it. Individual embellishments (frames, mattes, papers) will open directly on to your canvas. Templates and projects will prompt you to close existing projects.
 

 

Free content via the the Search hovers

On the Create screen, open any of the Search hovers. eg:

 

Click on the button, then type in any keyword of your choice (or * to display all).
You can also type directly in the text bar which shows the currently defined search.

Use keywords such as color or theme (eg. baby, wedding, birthday, soccer).
Change the "TYPE" option to refine the type of content you wish to see, for instance, Type = Parts (+) mattes to generate a list of mattes, or Type = "Embellishments (+) Decorations" to see decorative clip art, or Type = Templates to only show templates, not embellishments.

 
Click on the FREE tab to view all items available at no additional cost.

 

 

Free content in the Marketplace

Free templates can be found in the dotScrap Marketplace, which you can access via the Start Zone. Any template that is free to use with your license will display a "free with" banner on the large thumbnail preview of the item.

 

Premium (purchasable) dotScrap materials

Other templates and graphics are available as Premium add-ons, requiring you to use dotScrap Credits to unlock them for watermark-free output.   Premium items can be found in the dotScrap Marketplace, in the Start Zone, or in Search hovers under the Premium tab.

 

 

If you have launched unpurchased dotScrap material on your canvas, you will see purchasing information on the bottom right hand of the Create screen.
 
For example, an unpurchased template may cause to appear on the Create screen, and a watermark will appear at the bottom of your canvas to ensure that you know that unpurchased material is active in your project.
 
Click on the shopping cart icon to purchase the material -- you will be redirected to the LumaPix store to confirm and complete the purchase. You will use credits to unlock the content (see below for details).
 
Once purchased, your items will appear under the Purchased tab in search hovers. You can launch a search hover containing all your purchased items by clicking on the FILE menu's Open My Purchased dotScrap item.

 
All purchased items are now part your permanent collection, available for multiple reuse, and will automatically be available if you reinstall FotoFusion on a new computer.

 

 

dotScrap Credits

New FotoFusion Version 4 activations will have 20 free credits to use. 1 credit is worth approximately $1 USD (we chose "credits" to reflect FotoFusion's international user base.)

 
After these are depleted, you can choose to purchase additional credits by clicking on the shopping cart icon. There is no obligation to purchase additional credits -- you can continue to use the free and purchased materials you already own, or use graphics from other sources.

 

When you click on the Shopping cart, you will see a window that looks something like this.

 

Click on "BUY CREDITS" to be redirected to a secure purchasing site.  If you buy more credits, the price per credit is reduced.

The cost of the kit, template, or elements currently displayed on your screen will appear under "This Layout."

"BUY NOW" will transfer your credits towards the purchase of the item(s) on your screen.

 
Once purchased, this material will be unlocked for you for repeated use. You will never need to purchase it again, even if you change computers. The purchases are tied to your user id, and are purchases are recognized when you reactivate FotoFusion.

 

Note: If you have purchased dotScrap material and want to find it quickly, click on FILE on the menu bar, select OPEN... >> MY PURCHASED DOTSCRAP ITEMS. The results will display in the Search Hover.

 

 
Subscriptions

A dotScrap subscription adds 20 credits to your account each month, and bumps your license type up by one level. Essentials users will run as Enhanced, and Enhanced users will run as Extreme. (Extreme and YearbookFusion licenses do not change.)
Subscriptions can be purchased by clicking on the shopping cart icon (bottom right of the Create Screen). Current redit information will appear:

Click on the BUY CREDITS button to launch the Store interface, and select the subscription option.

After purchase, your credit card will be charged on a recurring monthly basis. If you do not use all 20 credits in a given month, the balance will remain on your account. If you decide to unsubscribe, write to support(a)lumapix.com to request cancellation. You will keep all remaining credits, but your license will revert to its original status and free graphic content associated with the upgraded license will be watermarked once again.
