Creating your Ultimate Album with alternative design software
RapidStudio’s online photobook editor offers beautiful, professional layouts that are easy to use. If you prefer to use alternative design software, follow the steps below.
Step 1: Set up Spreads
This is the approximate area where the guillotine will trim your page to size.
BLEED
This section of the artwork outside the cut line will be trimmed off. It ensures the picture will bleed off the page and there will be no white lines between your picture and the edge of the page.
SAFE AREA
The important parts of images & text must be inside the green safe area line to avoid being cut off.
