How to make a kit preview

[fruitysuet]

For some reason in the past, I deleted out the folder and preview files when saving my kits. I did stop doing this, but I frequently do a search of either folder or preview files to get an overview of kits to select from, especially for challenges - for example the current one to use purples.

Are there any templates or actions or other pointers for how I can recreate a preview image for those kits I deleted these from, or do I have to just drag everything into a page and move all paper and elements individually to get a good look. Any tips from designers especially welcome!

Are any of the kits still in the shoppe? If so you can right click and save the preview image to your folder directly.

If they're older or retired kits, then sorry, I'm no help at all. Hopefully a designer will pop in and share some advice.

For kits that have been retired I you can often find them on pinterest. Google images will bring them up sometimes too but i've found more luck directly on pinterest/ not me having to search for my own previews of retired kits

I have a copy of the preview template for SSD. I think it was offered on the site at some point. It basically has the papers in the background with a sheer white layer over the middle that the elements are piled on. There are some designers that offer their elements and papers separately and don't offer a kit and I have taken their element preview, removed the background and shrunk it a little bit and laid it on the paper preview to give myself a kit preview. Not as pretty as the designers do it, but it works for me.
