Senior Album Template–Changing Colors (album templates for photographers) LCH Design

Posted on March 16, 2010

One of the most frequent questions I receive in emails is: “Can the colors be changed in the templates???”

“YES!” All my templates are in PSD files in layers—-you can change the colors and customize as you wish.
You can change the colors several different ways–the most common are by using a Color Fill Layer in Photoshop—or a HUE/SAT layer in Photoshop.

Here are a couple examples by photographer, Marla Laramie changing the colors on the Senior Edge Album Girl Template…….

She did a beautiful job–both in her images and the design/customization of the albums. Take a look here–just click on the image to see the slideshow…..

And here is an example of how she changed the colors in the Popular Pressley Senior Collection Album…

Shannon of Shannon Matson Photography sent me this email this week:

“Hey, I just thought I’d pass this along. I’ve been drooling over the red satin collection forever not because they are Christmas cards, but because I thought they would make GORGEOUS senior grad cards.

Here’s what I did with the designs. I’m going to offer color alternatives of pink, purple, and teal as well.

Thought you’d like to see what I did! ”

And here’s the picture:

Thanks Shannon! Love seeing your creations! I’ll add it to the Inspiration Gallery as well and you receive a $10 gift certificate to the STORE!

This is the Collection she used: RED SATIN CMAS COLLECTION

Wedding Guest Album–(photographer templates/product photos)

Posted on October 22, 2009

I have been meaning to post these for awhile—some product photos of the Lovestory Wedding Guest Album. I love this album! They always turn out so beautifully and get so many adoring compliments from the guests at the wedding. It’s a great way to share engagement photos and have them in a custom hardbound album.

This album was for one of Our brides in August. It was a beautiful wedding and I just placed the order for their 10×10 Wedding Album. It is gorgeous!

I always order the GUEST ALBUM as a hinged album so that the pages lay flat and it is easy for the guests to sign their names and ‘well-wishes’ to the happy couple.  A fine point black sharpie is perfect–(no smudging onto the photos!)

Photographers–you can find the templates in the store HERE….
