When you start being bitten by the digital scrapbooking bug, you inevitably end up collecting digital brushes for your photo editing program. If you load too many of these up into the program, this slows down the program performance, especially when initially starting up the program.

The best way to deal with this is to organise your brush collection outside of the program itself, and only load up the required brushes you need at the time of creating a layout. Here's a tip for organising your brush collection: -

1. Use your photo application to create a page of the brushes in a collection - white as a background. Title it with the brush name and folder these are stored in, the designer, and whatever other details you wish. Use each brush to imprint the brush "graphic" as a sample on the page.
2. Save these pages as jpeg files or similar.
3. You can now browse your brush collection pages in a normal photo album program (a free one being Picasa).
