- Top bar: back to albums, undo / redo, Proofing, copy in another size, help, shortcuts, settings, Export.
- Photos: the album’s library, with stars and colours from Lightroom.
- Spread tools: mirror, free design, text, Auto-Build, cover, endpapers, templates, send for approval.
- The spread: spine (dashed in the middle) and safe zone (blue dashes).
- Layouts strip: layouts that fit the photos of this spread. Tabs for the whole spread, left page, right page.
- Right column: shows only what concerns your selection (photo, text, spread, album), in tabs that open one at a time. The client’s comments on the spread stay at the top, black on white.
- Timeline: the whole album, spread by spread. Cut, join, reorder by dragging.
Everything saves itself at every change (“Saved” at the top). Ctrl+Z undoes anything. Your original photos never change.
The tabs of the right column
Spread: Design, Background, Spread, View, Album details, Cloud Proofing, Spreads. Photo: Position and rotation, Colour and tones, Border and opacity, Frame shape, Fades, Image info. Right-click a tab title: One at a time, Open all, Close all and Customise tabs… (drag them into your own order, OK). A gold dot means you changed something inside.
View and album details
- View: file names on the photos; comments on the spread (every client comment as a white note next to the photo it is about, the solved ones with ✓; never printed); rulers at all times; units and the export colour profile.
- Album details › Edit…: export DPI, trim and safe zones. Nothing moves in the design; guides, checks and print files change. The page size changes only with “Copy in another size”.
Hide what you do not need
Tab hides or shows the photos column, Shift+Tab the layouts strip. Settings › General › “Buttons with icons only” gives more room.
