Album Design 6 Advanced for Windows

Album Design 6 Advanced — Photoshop layout assistant

Album Design 6 Advanced is a Graphic & Design plugin built for Adobe Photoshop that speeds up the creation of digital photo albums. It lets you lay out pages and edit images directly inside Photoshop, removing the need to switch to separate layout software during design tweaks.

Asset libraries and built-in resources

• 1,500 ready-made page templates for fast album construction
• 700 mask assets to create layered and textured effects
• 560 style presets for consistent looks across pages
• 220 background images plus assorted clipart elements
• 160 movable/replaceable objects for decor and composition
• 280 filter effects to apply creative processing
• 100 frame formats for bordering photos

All inserted elements become smart objects inside Photoshop so they remain editable and non-destructive.

Workflow integration with Photoshop

The plugin operates from within Photoshop, so you can compose pages and adjust images in the same environment where you retouch photos. Elements are added as advanced smart objects, preserving editability and allowing you to double-click into components to fine-tune them without leaving the host application.

Automated layout conveniences

• Project canvases can be scaled to any dimensions without losing layout integrity
• Templates automatically resize to match the page or desired aspect
• Photos are placed into templates automatically for rapid assembly
• Template substitutions and replacements happen at the page level with minimal manual adjustment

These features reduce repetitive resizing and manual placement, speeding up batch album production.

File support and external editor compatibility

The plugin accepts common and professional file types including JPG, PSD, PDF, TIFF, plus various multimedia and web-friendly formats. It also integrates with external photo-editing tools such as Adobe Lightroom, enabling a smoother handoff between image editing and album design. You can organize images by metadata or by user notes to simplify large projects.

Extra production tools

• FTP upload for sending finished files to servers or printers
• CD/DVD burning support for physical delivery options
• Multi-save / batch-save to export multiple pages or variants at once
• High-definition previews for checking image quality before export
• Album split utilities for dividing large projects into sections
• An album index generator to create table-of-contents style summaries
