Hello all; My name's Shalem (hence the screen name), I'm twenty-one, and have been doing professional photography for 5 years now. I started out working for a large studio in my city, and moved on to start a business with a more experienced business partner, and just recently (4 months ago) ventured...

I had a custom cover book ready to order... but then realized I hadn't taken page gutters into consideration. Speaking of pages... the press book pictures appear to open and lay flat on some pictures and not others? So how do the pages lay/open? I normally use Lumapix Fotofusion Extreme (or Photoshop...

I am just starting out with pictures and have booked 3 kids for senior pictures. This started because last year I took my brother and sisters senior pictures and these kids saw them and their parents liked the pictures. The question I have, is I would like to be able to offer what most photographers...

I delved into the world of wedding photography a few months ago and am trying to decide on a photo books I can offer my clients. I have read just about every post about these books on this forum and have come up with a list of albums/providers that photographers seem to use. I'm curious if some of...

Sure, the MPIX photobooks and proof portfolios are great, but does anyone know of any other online albums available with online design capability. I'm looking for something a bit more high-end that could be suitable for wedding albums. I've used Kodak with pretty good results and the design interface...

Does anyone create album pages in Photoshop and import them into Mpix? I would love to know the pixel size of the page layout. I know I have to leave 1/4" for possible print cropping but what size do I start with to make sure my design is accurate?

I'm not sure how it turned out.. My parents albums use just 4x6s so I'm not sure in what sense you are trying to get creative. I mean croping? or softening a look or a soft glow is nice. How about the shots themselves, are they kissing? holding hands? I tell the story sequentially so that takes...

I know how to do them in PS and since I learned how to use snap to grid and place grid lines accurately it makes a lot of difference. My "thing" with PhotoFusion is that when I was considering buying it, I was looking through our local advertising agency flyer and real estate publications and...
