Smart Albums: Designing a wedding album has never been so easy
For years, wedding photographers have struggled to find a convenient and easy way to design wedding albums and create the layouts for digital album pages. Initially, Adobe Photoshop was the most widely used tool for wedding album layout. The problem was that it generated enormous files that were very large and difficult to adjust. It was an inconvenient and inefficient system.
Then we discovered InDesign. Many photographers still use it; it's a very complete and professional program, but if you don't know how to use it well, it can take time and patience to find the best solution. It's easy to get lost in the vast number of options it offers.
Designing a wedding album doesn't have to be boring
And then one day it came Smart albums. A program specially designed for wedding photographers and that includes a simple or intuitive interface. Now very recently the second improved and optimized version has been released. You will see how easy it can be to design an album and above all modify it. Because the most common is that you want to change a photo of place or add a page…. all these operations are done without problem with Smart Album2
This latest version, in addition to wedding album layout, includes a Cloud Proofing service which, for me, is the ultimate tool. This feature allows us to send clients a sample album so they can provide feedback on the changes they want. The program then sends us their comments with precise references to the pages and photos to be modified. This process can be quite complicated, but with Smart Album, it's done in just a few minutes. A wonderful solution for all photographers like me who prefer taking photos to designing an album.
In this video I show you a little how the program works. You can try it yourself by downloading a demo version that works without limitations for 30 days:

Could you tell me how I can change the order sheets. For example, turn sheet 15 to fifth place. I've searched for information but I don't see it anywhere. What I do is very rudimentary. I finish the album and then manually change the number. But I am very surprised that this cannot be done.
Thank you.
Cristina, it's very simple, on the right side where the thumbnails of the pages appear, you just have to click it and drag it to the position where you want to put it, it's super easy ... this way you forget a bit about the order while you are modeling, since you this simple option ... I hope it will be of your help
Hello could you tell me how to change the measure, if I already have advanced work?
Hello, you cannot modify the measure if you already have content.
It's simple, but when you go to export the album, they tell you that you either pay the annual fee or the free version has a watermark on all the photos. Of course, this tells you when you have already created it, not before.
