DESIGNING AN ALBUM IN SDS
You can design your entire album in SDS before placing your order with Seldex.
Create your album using Auto Design, one of our professionally designed templates, or start from scratch for complete creative control. Every layout can be customised, giving you the flexibility to create an album that suits your photography and your client.
Once your design is ready, share the album proof with your client for approval and make any required revisions within SDS.
When your client has approved the final album design:
- Place your album order on the Seldex website, selecting the album size, cover, paper, number of spreads and any other options required.
- Once your order has been submitted, you’ll receive your Seldex order number.
- Return to SDS and open your approved album design.
- Export your finished album and enter your Seldex order number when prompted.
- Your finished files will then be linked to your Seldex order ready for production.
Design in SDS → Client Approval → Order Online → Return to SDS → Export using your Seldex Order Number
USING SDS TO CROP OR PREPARE FILES
SDS isn’t just for albums. You can also use it to crop, size and prepare your images for a range of Seldex products.
For these products, place your order on the Seldex website and make a note of your Seldex order number.
Then open SDS, select the appropriate Seldex product and size, add your image and position or crop it exactly as you’d like it printed.
Once your files are ready, export them from SDS and enter your Seldex order number when prompted so we can match the files to your online order.
Order Online → Prepare & Crop in SDS → Export using your Seldex Order Number
5. NOT USING SDS?
No problem. You can still prepare and upload your own print-ready files.
Once your product has been added to your shopping cart, you’ll be prompted to upload any image files required for your order.
Please ensure your files have been correctly prepared according to the specifications shown on the relevant product page or in our File Preparation information. Before submitting your order, always check that your files are the correct size and that you’ve supplied the correct number of files.
Some Seldex products require one of our downloadable Photoshop templates to prepare the artwork correctly, including selected boxes and other specialty products.
Where a Photoshop template is required, you’ll find it on the relevant product page together with instructions explaining how to prepare your artwork.
