Album design software:Zookbinder vs White Glove

URGENT. I'm all digital this year and I just sold my Mamiya MF to buy third Canon body.

NEEDED: Wedding album design software to do digital composites so that I can "Show what I sell"

THE PLAN: Next year ( and most of this ) use Art Leather albums w/ 10x10 inserts and slide 10x10 prints [only $2.56 at Burrell] w/ digital composites into the Album pages. Will add flush mount albums later.

MY QUESTION: What do you use? Zookbinders says theirs is a plug in for Photoshop. I'd pay $200 for the right program that would let me print low quallity page proofs as well as generate 300 DPI jpegs to modem to lab.

THANKS IN ADVANCE SMART GUYS!

Last week was a big moment for me....selling the Mamiya 645 system...I had 13 years of memories around that hardware. I'm keeping 5 Canon T90's and lens collection for film.

Make your own templates. Layer with transparent holes where images can be put in on separate layers, under the "frame" layer.

I'll make a small example PSD file and post it here... check back on Monday for a link.

Edit: Link Added.

Right click & pick "Save As..." - but you alredy knew that.
Get a ruller out and measure Art-Leather's pages and make the selection on the layer fit that size geometrically. THen apply blurring/sizing as needed to the mask on the "white" layer. Put pix under that layer and position/transform as necessary. WHen done, flatten & send to the lab.

Hope this helps.

PS: Art Leather's site has some kind of software free for download & you need to call them to get unlocking code - might be exactly what you're looking for.
