 Tips and ideas
for the Serious Amateur
| Think about itWhy albums are better than 6x4 prints, the danger of committing your photos to electronic media, improving your image, enhancing your techniques and even saving money!
|
| Think 15 years aheadIn 15 years time will your computer read today's DVDs - will Windows 2022 support JPG files?
|
| Don't let your Memories RotWe look forward to going back over our photographic memories. Our photo album collection is the most accessible. Boxes of transparencies, photo prints, videos are not – and will be ignored. The same applies to the digital age. Photos left on computers, CD’s and online services are as invisible and subject to commercial failure and technological obsolescence. Only an easy computer printed photo album is secure. With modern software and supplies it is so easy and effective.

If double sided this will be on the left hand side for odd page numbers and the right hand side for even pages. If you have a background then it is best if that fills the whole A4 sheet.

| Digital Photo Paper Comparison |
| The Value of Social NetworksSocial and social-business networks (Facebook, Myspace, Linked-in, Xing or my favourite Ecademy) are proliferating – and are increasingly becoming messaging networks. Meanwhile messaging networks such as Twitter are becoming social networks. Also databases – especially photographic databases such as iStockphoto and Flickr are putting in networking (forum) facilities and messaging capabilities.
How does the photographer use these to advantage?
|
| Make a Wedding into a StoryWhether you are the official wedding photographer or just a family member or friend taking pictures remember that there is far more to the occasion than getting some good formal or posed pictures. The story book should reflect the spirit of the occasion.
|
| More Effective MarketingOne effect of the advances in software is that all of us have become creative designers. Maybe we are not good as the pros – but with the wealth of templates etc we can produce well balanced and well laid out documents.
So how do we stand out from the crowd, in an ever increasingly competitive market? The quality of printed documents must be one way. Here are some suggestions using the products from opusalbums.com – documents you can design and print yourself with limited investment.

| The disappearing darkroomEric Kunsman writes “The next generation of inkjet papers are here! We are getting closer to saying goodbye to the darkroom. The introduction of new papers from Hahnemuhle, Innova, and Museo have everyone scrambling for these papers, as they are suppose to be the reason to finally come out of the darkroom. After all, B&W silver gelatin paper manufacturers are starting to disappear, causing more artists/photographers to convert to digital printing.

| Marilyn Taylors TestimonalI just wanted to tell you how pleased I am with Essentia FotoArt. I have put a wedding album together for my partner's daughter as a trial - 300 images into 110 pages. Lovely.
I had been using Photoshop for putting together photobooks, from holidays, birthdays, etc, and, in general, it was taking about 10 pages an hour.

Don't lose all your photos through obsolescence or hardware/service failure! People wish to keep their photos and their records for lifetime or even generations, yet many appear unconcerned about the fact that in a few years' time current devices and on-line services may no longer be in use, and even the file formats might not be supported. Old fashioned printed books and documents are still the best. Fortunately they are much easier to produce now.

2010 Year Book AlbumYou want a book that
1. Reminds you of the family – or events of the past year.
2. Gives you an year planner for 2010
3. Good to give to your friends, customers etc.
Then here is a quick, easy and economical method using Print & Bind or Pics Book Jr
|
| Using the Unibind System |
| Best Album Software |
| Choose the right Album |
| Don't let your Memories RotWe look forward to going back over our photographic memories. Our photo album collection is the most accessible. Boxes of transparencies, photo prints, videos are not – and will be ignored. The same applies to the digital age. Photos left on computers, CD’s and online services are as invisible and subject to commercial failure and technological obsolescence. Only an easy computer printed photo album is secure. With modern software and supplies it is so easy and effective.

| My Photo Accordion - the Ultimate Business CardMy Photo Accordion – the ULTIMATE BUSINESS CARD
Frasser Hay says "Print your business card on both sides" – mine is printed on ten sides. You can get your whole message across – or several messages.
Your problem is being remembered – you have to stand out and be a bit different. Fold a photo accordion dramatically in front of your prospect – you will move along the sales cycle immediately.
|
| Printing on Canvas |
| Choose the Right Album SoftwareYou pay your money, you get your choice - but there s a beneift from getting quality album printing software. The cheaper ones are not good on printing.
|
| Laying out your OPUS AlbumFrankly I don't worry about the templates at all. Whatever program I'm using - dg Foto Art, Fotoslate4 or Photoshop I just make sure that there is a 1" binding pages. If double sided this will be on the left hand side for odd page numbers and the right hand side for even pages. If you have a background then it is best if that fills the whole A4 sheet.

| Make a Wedding into a StoryWhether you are the official wedding photographer or just a family member or friend taking pictures remember that there is far more to the occasion than getting some good formal or posed pictures. The story book should reflect the spirit of the occasion.
|
| More Effective MarketingOne effect of the advances in software is that all of us have become creative designers. Maybe we are not good as the pros – but with the wealth of templates etc we can produce well balanced and well laid out documents.
So how do we stand out from the crowd, in an ever increasingly competitive market? The quality of printed documents must be one way. Here are some suggestions using the products from opusalbums.com – documents you can design and print yourself with limited investment.

Greeting Cards at Spring Fair But what struck me about the cards:
1 The hand made cards were natty,
2 The wordy, hand drawn ones were amusing
3 The photographic ones were utterly boring.
And of course none of them carried the message “This is from me to you”
So much mord can be done with the 'Photo paper how you like it programme'

About Square Pictures Square pictures are certainly not dead. The square has a meaning too: dependability, fairness and honesty. Many photo service companies such as Photobox offer square prints as an option. Square pages remain popular for photo albums, 12x12 inch (30x30xcm) being the most common. For displays square canvas mounts are available – 12” (30cm) and 20” (50cm) being available
It would seem a pity that square photo paper has not been not readily available. To this end OPUSalbums.com, a web supplier
