Product Display &
TDA4 Software Presentation/ Tutorials


Your Personal Invitation

You are cordially invited to attend our display of contemporary wedding albums and an exciting new cover materials.
 

What is different with our albums is that you can design and personalise every part of every album to create unique  and individual presentations for each wedding couple. Even better, you can design them by a simple drag and drop software program provided free of charge to Albums Australia customers.

 

TDA is Total Design Ability
 

"Total Design Ability" is a concept that allows photographers the opportunity to stand out from a crowd. To offer unique presentations that display your imagery in the finest quality, most creative and impacting way.
 

Each album is made by hand, to the highest standards of quality and to the exact specifications that you design.
 

TDA is Greater Album Sales
 

TDA software (now in it's fourth version release and available to non Albums Australia customers) lets you create and present a 'virtual' wedding album that is accurate in every detail including the cover design. Automatic 'professional presentations' will show how image sequences and collage designs can tell stories by enhancing their album presentation and, in turn, increasing your sales. The trick is to be able to quickly design an album that inspires excitement. Once sold, TDA does all the hard work for you relating to the creation of high resolution digital images for the album.

TDA software is so advanced that you can...

  • View a "virtual" album including the cover which leaves nothing to the imagination - only excitement!

  • Design (flush mount) Magazine Albums to any size and format you desire!

  • Create unlimited mat designs to suit your images and image sequences.  

  • "Freestyle" digital collage designing for mat albums or flush mount albums with the most intuitive and easy to use designing tools available. Simple "drag & drop" tools allow for quick and professional designs.  

  • Use your digital images within each page or cover design, cropped, enlarged and enhanced as they will be when you present the album.  

  • Create professional audio visual slide shows that present your images and album designs automatically when you design an album. Automatically order your album design "error free" via the internet!  

  • TDA will automatically create every image you use within your album design as a high resolution file, ready to send to your lab. Each image is exactly the right size and exactly how you have edited it within your TDA album design!

  • Click a button to calculate the cost of your album design. Another button presents the retail value for the same design...including pricing your images by style, type or size.  

  • New  Image management features provide you with one software program that does everything but correct the colour for your lab

Stay for our Album Display Or Software Presentation or Both!

You are welcome to attend any of the sessions listed below. If you simply want to review the albums the first 30 minutes of each presentation is dedicated to product review. The remaining time is used to show you every part of TDA software and how it will save you time and money.
 

The remaining 1 hour 30 minutes will be devoted to a demonstration of all of TDA's facilities (old & new). It's tools, tips and techniques to help make your studio even more streamlined. We will also discuss ways of setting up the workflow in your studio to dramatically reduce your computer time and your album assembly time.
