Album DS is an album design software for Photoshop and works like a toolbar for Photoshop CS or higher. Photoshop's working area is used for designing the albums instead of any own area, meaning unlimited creativity because you have direct access to all Photoshop tools.

If you need a template it will open in Photoshop at the album size by just double clicking the template thumbnail, you don't need to search for a predefined size template as any template will fit any size; and best of all: you may easily modify the document in Photoshop because it is a true PSD file. 

Album DS automates the designing process by keeping track of used pictures, placing automatically the images, applying effects, allowing direct and easy access to templates, backgrounds, masks, cliparts, styles, frames, etc. 

Each album will be saved in his own folder, you may change from one album to another by just selecting the folder and all sheets, pictures and controls of folders will be retrieved with the album. This even allows for easily creating a backup of your work, just backup the folder and all your files will be included.

You may even automate the creation of the whole album, just select the templates and pictures and Album DS will do the rest. 

We have included a filtering process for the templates, you may search by number of pictures, horizontally placed pictures and vertically placed pictures; also a mouse over preview is included for all elements, fully resizable and dockable to the main Album DS window. 

I would suggest you just to download the free demo and try it, it will not mark your pictures or sheets and a bunch of templates, backgrounds, masks, etc are included. During 30 days you may enjoy from this tool and design your first fast and creative albums.
