Albums, sales, proofing, and the math behind getting your weekends back.

Choosing the right wedding album size is less about offering every option and more about helping the client make an easy decision. Most couples do not know whether they want a 20×20, 25×25 or 30×30 album. They just want something that feels beautiful, well made and right for their story. That is why it helps […]

Some labs feel like they appeared yesterday because someone bought a printer, opened a website and decided to have a go. Digitalab is definitely not one of those labs. Based in the North East of England, Digitalab has been working with photographers since 1949, which means they have seen film, darkrooms, digital files, online galleries, […]

Most photographers do not need a bigger album offer. They need a clearer one. Album sales often become harder when clients are shown everything at once: sizes, covers, spreads, papers, boxes, parent copies, upgrades and delivery options. All of those things can be useful, but if they appear too early, the client has to make […]

A quiet workshop on the Portuguese coast Along the northern coast of Portugal, where the Atlantic ocean meets the vibrant culture of Matosinhos near Porto, craftsmanship has always been a way of life. That is where Floricolor began its journey back in 1979. What started as a dedicated regional photo laboratory over four decades ago […]

We’ve created a new YouTube series to help photographers get more from Spreadu without having to sit through one long tutorial. Each video focuses on one feature and shows exactly how it works, from swapping images and changing image ratios to adjusting layouts, using scenes, designing per page and exporting the finished album.

There is a big difference between an album that simply holds photographs and an album that feels like part of the whole client experience, and Dekora Album Co. seems to understand that difference very well. Based in Canada, Dekora has been making handmade albums for professional photographers for over 20 years, with a strong focus […]

Hey, we just made the proofing experience in Spreadu better than ever before. This is one of those updates that makes album revisions feel completely different. Until now, if a client wanted to swap a photo in the album, it usually meant an email. Or a screenshot. Or a message saying something like, “Can we […]

That is the whole point of flexible album design: the layout should follow […]
