Avis sur SmartAlbums
Such a timesaver!
Commentaires : I use Smart Albums to design all my albums. It is such a huge timesaver without compromising on quality. Before being a professional photographer I was a magazine designer so I have pretty high standards when it comes to layouts, and Smart Album definitely delivers. Couldn't live without this genius piece of software!
Avantages :
The beautiful layouts, ease of use and speed, link to cloud proofing, ability to export for InDesign tweaks.
Inconvénients :
It's hard to think of anything!! It would be lovely if cloud proofing was included in the license but it's understandable why not.
Make my life easier! Yes Please!!
Commentaires : I've been a wedding photographer for more than 33 years and have been designing albums for our clients nearly that long. From the film days to digital I have tried out almost every iteration of album design software available and SmartAlbums is the first that made it easy to actually design books in front of my clients as part of the sales process. Clean design and ability to change page templates "on the fly" real time has had such an impact on making better, beautiful and more timeless designs which ultimately makes my clients happier and our business makes more money. Producing albums for wedding and portrait clients is such big part of the income stream for our industry I really don't understand why all photographers are not designing albums for their clients especially since smartalbums makes it so easy now. I guess some photographer just like to leave money on the table.
Avantages :
A fast, easy and most importantly an intuitive UI takes the album design process from a chore to a pleasure. The clean and uncluttered interface keeps distractions out of sight and allows me to actually design albums right in front of my clients in real time. Other big pluses are the ability to make custom templates, custom sizes and sizes for all the album company books that I would wish to use.
Inconvénients :
Not many cons as much as little wish list items that i have had. But with each version and update my little wish list gets smaller and smaller.
A Greedy and Dishonest software company
Commentaires :
I purchased Smart Albums Lifetime Licenses for a lot of money and then they moved to the subscription model and knee capped the latest version I had so I couldn’t cloud proof.
It’s my opinion they are a greedy and dishonest company. I would not support them after they did this to me and probably hundreds if not thousands of professional photographers.
Find a great proofing solution, but please, do not choose SmartAlbums.
Avantages :
It was useful before they stopped supporting lifetime licenses
Inconvénients :
Pretty much everything after. I reached out to them and I was told that I was out of luck and that I'd have to pay up more money to continue to use the software. They were happy to take a huge lump sum up front from many pro photographers and leave them high and dry later.

Hi Paul. I can understand your frustration here. SmartAlbums 2 is an older version of our software that we no longer support as it has been officially retired for over 4 years now. We can't guarantee optimal functionality in newer computer versions and updated operating systems since SmartAlbums 2 hasn't been updated in years and has become obsolete. For this reason, we recommend upgrading to a SmartAlbums subscription which is constantly updated.
Album design is finally enjoyable and hassle-free!
Commentaires : It saves me time, and makes me look fantastic! And my clients love the software too. I am actually proud to share this in face to face meetings when I occasionally have clients request to meet to go through their design! I also like that I can switch easily between templates and manual design for those trickier spreads.
Avantages :
SmartAlbums is sleek, easy to use, intuitive (for my clients also!) and just beautifully designed. I used to dread album design time because of the tricky back and forth with my clients. This software makes the process hugely enjoyable and I can now create gorgeous designs and share them at lightning speed. The integrated feedback saves so much time, no longer requiring back-and-forth between various screens. I love it! A huge time-saver and most importantly a really great experience for my clients.
Inconvénients :
Nothing - it's honestly practically flawless!
Most intuitive and easy to use album design software
Commentaires : Smart albums, with its intuitive software and beautiful designs put the joy back in the design and made it a thoroughly enjoyable and quick process. We can design an album in less than 30 mins. Client requested changes and approval through cloud proofing have been super easy. Unlike competitors, the change comments from clients are integrated in the design software for us to quickly make changes and avoid going back and forth checking comments. We design 40+ albums per year and that has been possible because of Smart albums. We could easily say that Smart albums helps generate additional revenue through albums.
Avantages :
Intuitive and easy to use software Support for my album vendor (custom templates) Cloud Proofing with feedback integrated with the design software Customer Support
Inconvénients :
Nothing much to pin point. It's really that good.
