There's a huge amount of power in Workspace. We know, we use it all, and we love it! Queensberry’s website is built on Workspace. We blog in Workspace. We sell in Workspace. And we design albums in Workspace, and Photojunction — half the albums we make, in fact, all part of our free album design service.

But not everyone wants to use our software to design Flushmount albums and Q-Books … not when they're already up and running with cool alternatives like Fundy, SmartAlbums, or Adobe's InDesign and Photoshop. We think they're all great solutions, but your own taste and workflow will determine your personal favourite.

We're not taking sides, but whichever software you prefer, Workspace has made it really easy to use in designing our albums…

It really is simple. All you need is a program that allows you to set the page dimensions, and that exports photo quality PSDs or PDFs.

Just export the design from your program of choice, and upload the print files to Workspace as either PSDs or a PDF. Here's a four minute video to talk you through the process.

… but take a little extra care

Using our software helps ensure your files meet our technical specifications (file dimensions, DPI, ICC profile etc). That's important, or you could end up with problems like unexpected cropping, colours or pixelation. Currently, you can order Flushmount albums and Q-Books with third party software, not matted albums.

So if you're going third-party, make sure your files meet our specs. Don't worry, we have insightful Knowledge Base articles to help ensure your files match the specs. Click the links to find out more:
