Album DS works as a toolbar for Adobe® Photoshop®.
Album DS streamlines your workflow with Photoshop® by automating complex tasks into simple double-click actions directly from its main window. For example, traditionally, to place a picture into a sheet you would need to open the file, copy the layer from the picture file, paste it into the target document, resize the layer, and crop it to fit your needs. With Album DS, you simply select the target shape layer in your document and double-click on the picture within Album DS.
Here’s what happens next:
- Album DS automatically renames the picture layer, creating a direct link to the file.
- It rotates the picture if necessary.
- The image is perfectly centered or placed at the top-left corner of the shape without needing to crop it, as the shape layer performs this function.
- The software marks the picture as used, aiding in picture tracking.
But that’s just the beginning. Album DS offers an array of features unmatched by other software:
- Set preferred template, background, mask, and other folders for any project.
- Automatically create the entire album.
- Generate a web site and slideshow.
- Easily save templates and more.
Moreover, all files used by Album DS are standard files. You can effortlessly add your own or adapt templates from other producers in just a few steps, offering unlimited creative freedom. There are no restrictions on your creativity with Album DS.
Album DS, Photoshop® and your Creativity: a Winner Team
Album DS is compatible with Adobe® Photoshop® CS to Creative Cloud. We recommend using CS3 or higher to be able to use the multiple layer selection and other features in Photoshop®.

Photoshop Color Settings for Optimal Use with Album DS
To ensure smooth operation and avoid interruptions from color space mismatch warnings while using Album DS, we highly recommend adjusting your Photoshop color settings. Here’s how to optimize your setup:
- Set Photoshop to automatically convert to the working color space.
- Select the option to not ask again when prompted about color space mismatches.
- When you receive your first warning, make sure to check the box that says “Do not show again” to prevent future interruptions.
These adjustments will help maintain seamless communication between Photoshop and Album DS, enhancing your workflow efficiency.
