I am a wedding photographer who has tried many types of album software (Lumapix, YSI, Page Gallery and more) and always dreaded the process of making an album. Not selecting the images but the software that creates the pages is often too convoluted. I did not want to spend weeks learning something new but thought I would give Album DS a try. What I found in Album DS was a very intuitive program that did just exactly what it was supposed to do. Make album pages and it does so in record time. After watching the video tutorial I was able to make a page in less than 5 seconds. It took longer for me to save the file to my hard drive, than it did to make a page. What a great product! I highly recommend you just give the trial a chance and see for yourself how this has cut my workflow in HALF. [ Joe Lacy 07/08 ] Looking Glass Photography
I'm not sure that you'd remember me, but I'm Tina from Corvallis, Oregon, just writing a quick hello to say how much I enjoy your software! I just designed my third album with it. For my third album, I created a sample album with collages.net, and now I'm waiting for the album to arrive and was just reflecting on how EASY it was to create the layout! Waiting for it to arrive is HARDER than actually designing it!
When I was talking to my rep at Collages.net about albums and he asked what software I use to design albums, I told him that I use ADS in Photoshop. He said then that he's heard positive feedback about your software from other clients, too.
Well, that's pretty much it, just thought I'd write since I'm wide awake in the middle of the night thinking about various photography subjects, and Album DS is one of them.
Thanks again for getting the word out about Album DS in America, and a GREAT BIG thank you to Alejandro, too!
Most of photographers live by trial and error, internet research, and trusted recommendations. The trick is not to spend money on those products that sound really great then after using them they become an obstacle. I strive to find those products "tools" that make photography fun and more enjoyable overtime. Album DS is one of those products. It not just the amazing program automation and user-friendly interface, but CUSTOMER SERVICE, that makes the difference. Bryan and Alejandro have been consistently responsive to my questions. Here are a couple examples of how the product is super cool. The other day I resized an album that a lab said had to be a 1/4" larger and I had it done in minutes while I was talking with someone on the phone. Here's another example, the other day, I used the auto album feature which creates the entire album with a click of mouse. I went to finish my laundry came back tweaked a sheet here and there, sent out the unsold Engagement Album to see if my couple was interested. Boom, they loved it and purchased on the spot! Thanks Bryan and Alejandro for your product and your support. [Kevin Keefer 06/08 ] http://www.kevinkeefer.net/
I just finished designing my first album... and I must say I LOVE ALBUMDS! The tutorials were great, and very informative. I'm telling everyone I know up here in Wpg. THANKS for making my life easier!!!! and yes I was fun ;-)
Album DS ROCKS!!!!!!
I just had to share my excitement about Album DS. WHY did I not find them earlier?? I just would get overwhelmed about designing albums and would shut down. Most of the software I tried out didn't work for me or didn't work with a Mac. This works with Mac and PC and is so dang easy that I want to make albums just for fun! Their customer service is outstanding and the tutorials are super helpful. PS: I just discovered something super cool about Album DS...it works brilliantly with your existing templates!!! I have all these amazing templates but just couldn't stand the cut/paste, drag/drop and the amount of steps it took to work with them...but WOW..they work with this software and I am lovin it! The cool thing is that you can give it a test drive if you want to make sure prior to purchasing. I sat down for about 2 hours yesterday and even had a couple of breaks during that time, and I completed yet another album! I love things that make my crazy life easier [Lisa Carpenter 05/08] www.lisacarpenterphotography.com Wedding & Portrait Blogs - for all the latest! www.lisacarpenter.typepad.com
Words can not describe how impressed and happy I am with Album DS. The software is simply outstanding. I have been a Photoshop user for many years. Using templates was never an option in my case... until I found Album DS, it took my breath away by its uniqueness, variety, options and speed. There are no limits to the creativity it provides.
Now, with pride I am customizing these stunning templates and all these extras included. What's also incredible, above all, is the customer service - simply beyond expectation. This is by far, the best company in the market.

I've always wanted a tool like the one you've created, except yours is better than what I imagined :) It uses the one tool that I have invested a lot of time and money in, Photoshop. I've looked into many other album design programs, but they always pulled me away from my one key application, Photoshop. On your homepage you say, "Album DS provides more than 560 templates". This is great if all 560 matched my style, but what you forgot to tell everyone is that you can EASILY create new templates from the sheets you design. Your templates are a great starting point and get new ideas, but each photographer has their own style. Being able to EASILY create new templates, gives a photographer a way to build a custom reusable set of album pages that can save a LOT of time. If you would have included this one key point on your homepage, it would have saved me a week of research into other album design software. What can I say, Album DS was exactly the tool I was looking for. The time I save and the fast turn around I can provide my clients more than justifies the investment in your tool.
Finally, an album design program that does exactly what I want it to! We have been working with various album design software packages for years, and each one seemed to have its own major flaw -- while many had great features, none of them seemed to get everything right. We struggled with imprecision with other products in the lining up of elements in a template, poor integration with Photoshop, and, worse still, program instability with software crashing frequently. I am thrilled to say that Album DS has solved all of these problems for our studio. Album design has become a much more intuitive process and I no longer feel like I am fighting the program to get the page to match my vision. The program has nearly every feature I want, and I truly believe it is the best album design program available on the market. Aside from being a high-quality program, Album DS also comes complete with responsive and personalized customer service. Thank you for delivering great results in every respect!

I made the purchase of Album DS despite having other design software that I already use - all I can say is WOW!! They need to think of another name for this. It will be great for cards, books, collages, so many products!
I have just started learning the ins and outs of it and while it is not difficult to learn IT DOES SO MUCH that it is going to take me some time to play with all the features!
I can see that it will pay for itself in time saved and many projects to offer my clients.
Try out the demo if you are unsure - then BUY IT!!
I LOVE it! I felt like I was working with my hands tied with my other design software but this one works the way my brain thinks! Or at least it humors me into thinking it does! Seriously it is so easy to put together tons of ideas and is a dream for me! [Debbie Shoro (U.S.A.) 01/08 ] www.dshorophoto.com
I' ve checked out a lot of album design software programs and nothing comes close to the power of Album DS. What I like best about it is that it is used directly with Photoshop. I don't have to jump from one program to another, all the power of Photoshop is there. Not only can I easily modify the templates I can also create my own templates. I can also add my own action sets, masks, etc. This is brilliantly designed software!
As a professional wedding photographer, it’s important to have the right tools to help not only do the job right, but to be able to wow your clients. When I first found Album DS a year ago (and it wasn’t that well known yet), I was not sure what to expect for the money, and had no idea what an invaluable part of my business it would become in terms of creating amazing wedding albums in a fraction of the time I used to spend. Now that I have been using Album DS for so long, I cannot imagine our studio working without it….. I suppose it would feel like shooting a wedding without my camera to put things into perspective. It’s an amazing product, comes with phenomenal service from the Album DS team (Alejandro & Bryan), and has clearly changed the way we run our business as well as quality of our album designs. I was hoping to have this product all to myself, however am glad to see such an amazing program become more and more popular amongst professional photographers these days. I’d like to thank you for the great service, great product, and most of all making my life that much easier!!!

Hi Alejandro,
This is really a great program! I have three other versions of album designer software and none of them do what your program can do as quickly and easily. It is intuitive and fast. This program will be a real time saver. Well done!
