Digital File Requirements:

• File type required : JPG
• Minimum image resolution: 2,272 x 1,704 pixels (equivalent to 3.9 megapixels) or 1.5 megabytes in size (opens up in Photoshop to approximately 17 megabytes)
• All files MUST be color corrected prior to submitting.
• Retouching and/or spotting MUST be done by the studio/photographer.
• Images must be submitted in the correct sequence.
• We recommend that you place images within folders according to the segment of the event (house, ceremony, reception, cake cutting, etc.). This will help the designer better understand the flow of the event and create spreads based on the groupings provided. This is especially helpful when designing ethnic weddings with which the designer may not be familiar.

Please provide as much input with regard to preferences as possible. If you or your customer wants more b&w images or background fades, please indicate this on an accompanying note. If you would like certain images grouped on the same spread please let us know.

Until now, the high cost and lengthy production process of Custom Designed Albums and Books from Europe, Australia and the U.S. have made these "Coffee Table" presentations the exclusive domain of "High-End" packages. Although many brides prefer the look of this more contemporary and photojournalistic style, the high costs have kept them away from ordering it...and from possibly booking your studio.

CLASSIC's "Designer Series" has changed all of that! Now, this incredible One-of-a-Kind custom designed and handcrafted masterpieces, can be within the reach and budget of most clients. You can now use the Designer Series to upgrade the finished product you provide....while increasing your profits dramatically. If you are still offering the same albums as you have for years, Please RECONSIDER!

If you are not booking as many jobs as you would like, let us help! The "Designer Series" can lower your cost, save you time and help you book more jobs at higher margins.
