Q) Will you be offering more templates in the future?
A) YES!!! DEFINITELY! We plan to update this site regularly with new designs for wedding AND portrait photographers! Stay tuned for LOTS of card templates, album templates and more!
Q) What software will I need to edit these templates?
A) All of our templates are designed for Adobe Photoshop CS or newer. The files are un-flattened, fully customizable PSDs that can be tweaked to your hearts content.
Q) Do I need to be a Photoshop expert?
A) Of course not! But you should definitely have a working knowledge of Photoshop, including how to manipulate layers, shapes, text and images. You'll have to move some things around and resize your own photos to fit, so if you can do that, you're good to go! PLEASE NOTE : Unfortunately, due to the high number of templates sold, we cannot guarantee we'll be able to help you with basic photoshop questions. If you're not comfortable using Photoshop, please don't buy a template until you've had a chance to learn the basics!
Q) Can I change the colors, fonts or layouts at all?
A) YES! You can change the templates in all sorts of ways. Feel free to modify your template to perfectly fit your style and brand.
Q) Is the text on the template okay for me to use, as is? Or do I need to come up with my own text?
A) The templates come with text on the pages, but the text may or may not be anything you can use. Some of it will be usable and some will be a few lines of text, copied over and over (and will need to be replaced, obviously!) I don't mind if you leave the text that makes sense, but try to make it your own! Try to put your own personality into the words. Clients LOVE that!
Q) Can I use the photos that are on the template or do I have to replace them with my own?
A) You DEFINITELY have to replace ALL photos with YOUR OWN work!!! All photos, on all templates, are copyrighted by the photographer who took them and any photographer caught claiming them as their own will be in violation of those copyrights.
Q) Can I use the pricing that's on the template?
A) Only if you want to go out of business! Most of the numbers and pricing is COMPLETELY MADE UP! The packages don't really make sense and have NOT been thought out. In other words - DON'T use the pricing that's on the template!
Q) Where can I find free fonts?
A) We get nearly all of our fonts from this website : www.dafont.com
Q) Where should I get my templates printed?
A) There are literally THOUSANDS of printers to choose from to print your new pricing guide and marketing materials. Whoever you choose, be ABSOLUTELY sure that you contact them for their sizing, bleed and crop specs before printing your marketing materials. You may need to resize to their specs or move text farther from the edges. NEVER guesstimate! Always double check with your printer before placing your order! That said, we do have a few companies that we recommend ...
White House Custom Colour (WHCC) for tri-fold cards, stickers, flat cards and wallet-sized accordion coupon books
CopyCraft for our 8 page booklets, 20 page price guides, postcards and business cards
Apple (via iPhoto) for our 20 page price guide books (COPY CRAFT ALSO PRINTS THE 20 PAGE BOOKS! Contact them for a quote and for more details!)
Discmakers for short-run, printed DVDs
NOTE : The wallet sized accordion books (for the COUPON BOOKS) can be hard to find on WHCC's website. Here's a direct link to the info : http://www.whcc.com/products/books-albums/accordion-mini-books/
We are not endorsed by any of these companies and we cannot be held responsible for their work, so don't be mad at us if they mess up your order! But we have worked with all three of those companies in the past and have had excellent results from all three. We think you probably will, too!
PLEASE NOTE that you may not redistribute, sell or share with anyone the templates you purchase from us!
ONE FINAL (VERY IMPORTANT) NOTE : Make sure you make more than one copy of your templates BEFORE starting to work on them! You always want to be able to come back to the original version later, just in case. We recommend burning the templates to a CD or DVD first, then working on the designs on your computer.
Please contact us with any other questions you may have before ordering your template! Due to the nature of the product and the instant download link given, refunds cannot be given.
Thanks for shopping!
XOXO, Sarah Q
