And now with 3D templates make your covers come to life! Alternatively you may supply us with your own design and we can also print and bind for you.  For monitor calibration information please call or we can offer colour correction where our laboratory technician will colour correct your files (please call or email for price) and return your images by CD/DVD fully corrected, then you can design your album using your own software.  Our software, which is available free to all trade photographers, includes colour and density check.  For further information please telephone 01234 340152 or email us with your enquiry.  Due to the software being a full professional design version it is available following the links below, but depending on your broad band etc., it may take a while to download.
