Iconophor offers digital photo album templates for magazine style wedding albums and photo books on disk media to registered clients. Professional Photographers and wedding couples who have enquired and have been sent a template catalogue are eligible to purchase them. It is recommended that anybody purchasing these templates already posses some basic image editing, color management, and basic digital imaging knowledge particularly with Adobe Photoshop. There is no need To Buy Expensive Template Software.
Adobe photoshop and Adobe Indesign are the two most popular software used by wedding photographers for making album page designs from scratch. Why purchase expensive and cleverly marketed digital photo album creation software to generate photo album page designs, when in most cases this software is Adobe Photoshop dependent anyway?. In using a dedicated album design software you invariably end up having to export to Adobe Photoshop at the end. So wouldn't it be more prudent to maximize your investment in Photoshop and use it to design your digital photo album?
In order to design digital album pages using our templates, you need posses some basic photo editing skills, Once your negatives are scanned, or digital images acquired, you simply make a few edits to the template (as explained in the instructions you receive) and print your pages back to photographic paper using a professional digital photo lab or photo or professional quality inkjet, After that it's simply a matter of sending your prints to the bookbinder or professional album manufacturer of your choice.
Besides creating magazine style pages or graphics for flush mount photo albums, you can also use use our template designs to create photo books, providing that the vendor of choice allows you to submit user generated files and our template aspect ratios are compatible with you choice of photo book size. The Unique feature that distinguishes our digital templates from competing template software is that some of our designs incorporate montages, graphic artwork and illustrative styles.
Our templates are provided to you in RGB mode and are currently based on a 10x14 inch page system. They can be resized in Photoshop to achieve corresponding aspect ratios for compatible albums. Our digital templates can be used with other layouts in a photo album or photo book by:
1. Using combinations of our templates and our custom page layout service.
2. Combining our template designs with your own page layouts.
3. Using our templates combined with digital pages you create using a proprietary page creation software, where that software supports the importation of other layouts.
Our template designs cater for minimalist or elaborate tastes with some of the templates utilising carefully designed color schemes and graphics. Some of our template themes are specific, but future releases will increasingly incorporate more generic concepts. Our designs can be used for printing, family photo albums, special occasion books, modeling portfolios, portrait albums, corporate books, trade show promotional material etc.
Please note that our first edition of photo album and photo book templates are only available to photographers and wedding couples who were once using our (discontinued) digital page fulfillment service, or or those who had previously registered and are in possession of our old catalogue. Non professionals who have registered with us in the past may purchase our photo album templates or indirectly use our custom services by approaching a professional photographer and asking him/her to use our digital services to produce a magazine style album or photo book. This product is designed to enable photographers to deliver the highest digital album page layout standards at reasonable prices.
