Shoot Dot Edit and Design Studio Features

Jared — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 21:54:34 +0000

Today we’re proud to announce that we’ve added Shoot Dot Edit to our growing list of partners. Shoot Dot Edit is a professional digital media post production service company and offers a variety of services, including album design. We think they’re great people and they offer great value in their services. We highly recommend them if you’re looking to simplify your process by outsourcing post production or album design.

Shoot Dot Edit is also now the first album design studio integrated with AlbumExposure: when you order album design with Shoot Dot Edit, you’ll proof your album design through AlbumExposure before you send it to your client. Then when you’re satisfied, Shoot Dot Edit can push the album right into your AlbumExposure account to proof with your client. When comments arrive, you can choose to pass them right on to Shoot Dot Edit for revisions.

Very soon, these studio features will be available to all of our design studio customers, stay tuned!

Cheers!

Send to Print with Leather Craftsmen

Jeff — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 22:37:40 +0000

Many of you have already made your life easier by sending albums directly to print with our partners KISS Books and Laguna Albums. Today we’re stoked to add Leather Craftsmen to this growing list. Once an album is approved in AE, we’ll verify your files to Leather Craftsmen’s specifications and send it right over…that’s it! If you haven’t checked them out yet, now is a great time to do so (http://leathercraftsmen.com).

Cheers!

iPad/HTML5 Support

Jared — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 17:07:44 +0000

We’ve been quiet for a little while, and that’s because we’ve been working on some big features, one of which we’re proud to announce today. We’ve taken our first step towards complete compatibility with devices that don’t support flash, specifically the iPad.

Client Presentations

First, when a client logs in to view an album, if they’re using an iPad, they’ll automatically be shown the iPad compatible version of the client presentation.

HTML5 Embed Codes

Second, there’s now a new embed code you’ll find when you click ‘share’ that’s html5 powered rather than flash. If you use this code rather than the flash one, visitors to your site or blog who don’t have flash will be able to view the embedded album. If you already have albums embedded and you want this functionality, you’ll need to switch those to the html5 embed code.

Here’s the same album as our previous post on embedding albums, but with the new html5 code:

Public Pages

Last, if you’ve enabled sharing on your album, the public page for that album is now also iPad friendly.

Can’t wait to show you what we’re working on next!

At WPPI we announced our second send to print partner, Laguna Albums, and we’re excited to have them on board. Just click the Laguna Albums logo after your album is approved and we’ll verify your uploaded spreads meet Laguna specifications and send them on over for you.

Just a reminder, in order to use the send to print feature, you’ll need to upload print resolution spreads, specifically for Laguna, your spreads need to be at 200 dpi.

More coming soon!

Cheers!
