This morning, my wife showed me a photo greeting card she wanted to order from Shutterfly. It was alright. I asked her how much they cost, and she said they had a really great deal that was something like $20+ per 50 cards. I then reminded her that Costco sold…
But… I did finish one project. I finally got around to adding a section to my photography studio’s site for ordering comp cards. More on that later. Hurricane Irene plowed through New Jersey last night into this morning. So, instead of building the second half of my photobooth, I ended up…
MPix Pro is the “professional” version of MPix. Most of the products are the same, but the price lists are different, and you also get the option to use the ROES ordering system and drop ship orders. There are also some products that are (or used to be) unique to…
I was going through the , converting them to CS5.5 and to backwards compatible IDML files, and I noticed something interesting. The same files, opened / converted / saved in CS5.5 are quite a bit smaller than those saved originally in CS5. The IDML files are also smaller – a…
Earlier in the week, I noticed to my chagrin that INDD files created in Adobe InDesign CS5.5 are with Adobe InDesign CS5. Doh. After doing some reading, it turns out this isn’t too out of the ordinary. It seems that regular Adobe users are used to this kind of obsolescence….
So, the other day I upgraded to Adobe InDesign CS5.5. However, I only got around to installing the new version of the software on my desktop PC in my home office. My laptop, which I use for some image processing / design work while I’m out and about, still has…

So here’s one more comp card design for the week. This one is also a two-sided, standard sized (8.5″ x 5.5″) comp card. However, it leaves a little space around the edges to allow for a background design, and the back side features overlapping images for some visual interest. It’s…
Adobe makes some awesome products. I couldn’t live with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. At the moment I could live without Photoshop, since most of my event work can be processed in Lightroom, but InDesign is definitely a necessity for designing and laying out books and print products. The problem is, this…
The other day, I posted an . If you’re looking to save money on printing costs, going one-sided will help. But, typically, a model’s comp or zed card is a 2-sided, 5.5″ x 8.5″ card with a large headshot type photo on one side and a series of smaller images…
