The easiest way of designing a digital professional-looking photo album in just a few minutes is to let a software tool do it for you. If that tool comes with professionally designed templates and creates print-ready albums in no time, the decision is even easier. Pixellu SmartAlbums is such a tool, and it offers a clever mixture of automated processes and room for customization.
Though advertised mainly for professional photographers that need to present their clients with pro-looking photo albums, this utility is equally useful for the amateur photographer and for any home user interested in sharing their best shots with friends and relatives in a more elegant way. Creating a full album is so easy and straightforward that you won’t need any previous technical knowledge.
The tool opens a clean and clear interface that works like a wizard. First, you choose the best template for your album, and then you select the pictures that you wish to include in it. The program’s algorithms will do the rest, reorganizing your digital photos in the best way possible according to the spreads you selected, the size and orientation of the pictures, and even their date and timestamp, as if following a ‘story’.
Though the templates provided may look a bit ‘lame’ at first, note that you can customize your albums in various ways to add colorful backgrounds to the spreads or sections of your choice. You can also retouch your pictures in terms of tones and colors, and even turn to black and white some (or all) of them for a more professional touch. more
