Explore the range of products you can create in SDS
- Albums - Lifestyle Books, Boutique Books, Portrait Books, Journals, Guest Books and Lite Books
Create beautiful album layouts in minutes with SDS. Choose from professionally designed templates to get started quickly, or take complete creative control and customise every spread to suit your style. Easily drag and drop images, rearrange layouts, and fine-tune your design until it's just right.
Once your album is ready, share it with your clients using an online proof or PDF proof, making it easy for them to review the design, leave feedback and approve their album from anywhere. It's a simple, seamless way to collaborate with your clients and bring their story to life.
- Wall Art - Montage Frames, Canvas, Framed Canvas & Arch Frames
We're so excited to now have our Wall Art range available in SDS, including our popular Montages, Arch Prints and Canvas templates. Simply drag and drop your images into the template and SDS will do the rest.
SDS clearly shows which areas of your image will be visible on the final product, what will wrap around the edge of a canvas, and what will sit beneath a mat on arch and framed prints. This means you can crop with confidence and know exactly what your clients will receive.
Best of all, SDS automatically exports your files at the correct size, crop and resolution, making it quicker and easier than ever to prepare your wall art for production.
A quick note: Frame mouldings are not currently available within SDS, but we're always looking at ways to improve the platform and expand its features in the future.

- Prints & Hipster Packs
Forget the guesswork! Cropping images in Photoshop or Lightroom can be time-consuming, and getting the size, crop and resolution just right isn't always easy, but it is very important. With SDS, we've done the hard work for you. Simply select your print product and SDS will create a work space that is sized correctly.
Need to give your images a little extra personality? Add one of our custom borders, including classic 6mm white or black borders, or choose from our distressed, grunge and vintage styles to create a unique finished look. It's the quickest and easiest way to prepare professional, print-ready files your clients will love.
- Frame Mounts
We've added our Photo Mounts to SDS to take the guesswork out of cropping. Simply drop your image into the template and SDS will show you exactly which part of your image will be visible once it's mounted, helping you compose your photographs with confidence.
No more worrying about hidden edges or incorrect crops. SDS automatically prepares your files at the correct size and resolution, ensuring they're perfectly ready for production. It's a quick and easy way to create beautiful mounted prints while knowing exactly how the finished product will look.
