Why does Java give a "Security Warning" when I install?
Because Scrapbook needs to access your hard drive (more)
Why does Scrapbook need access to my hard drive?
When you click the "Images..." button, Scrapbook reads your image files to include them on the Fill panel.
Will Scrapbook let
my kids crop, scale, rotate, and ruin all my precious digital photos?
No, Scrapbook works with copies of your images. Your existing files are never changed.
The only way to lose a file using Scrapbook would be by
(1) exporting your Scrapbook image
(2) choosing the same folder and name as an existing file, and
(3) clicking "Yes" to replace the existing file.
It would be much easier for your kids to destroy files with Windows Explorer.
How do I save the collage I've created?
Use File-Export to save your collage as a single image. (It's not called "File-Save", because you can't reopen it later
and continue editing the individual pieces.)

In the Shape panel, you can even
type a "text shape".
Loading images is done in the "background", so you can keep working.
Note: Scrapbook will need your permission to read the image files on
your disk.
