► Brag Book Actions & Templates

Memory Books in smaller sizes are extremely popular to use as "Brag Books", and are often best-sellers becase of not only their "cute factor" but their affordability as well.

I offer these books in 3x3 and 5x5 inch sizes to my clients. I have yet to come across one that does not adore these books. The 3x3 especially is very cute !!

In an effort to speed up the process of creating these books, I have created a set of actions that resize a 5x7 photo to fit a 3x3 page, a 5x5 page, and both the 3x3 and 5x5 covers in full wrap-around. For non-PS users, I have also created layered PSD templates to be used in PSE, as well as flattened PNG templates for use in non-PS based image editoros that have the ability to use layers (ie PSP). Just choose the method that works with your existing software to create these pages in a snap.

These books can be printed through many labs, but this action was custom-designed for the books printed through ACI Lab. http://www.acilab.com/ The layouts these actions create will fit their page and cover styles perfectly !!! Please use caution when printing these layouts with other labs, unless the specs and sizes match to a tee :) A test book is recommended before offering the product to paying clients. :)

Each page features one image, matted on a default white or black page. There are also many options to customize the pages, including changing the colors of the actual page, the mat, as well as adding text throughout the book and on the covers.

Running the action with the default settings will create a full 20 page white or black mini book in a matter of minutes, ready for printing !! Now you can start offering these popular size books too, without the hassle of measuring and formatting the pages. They also make great gifts for friends and family!!

Here are 2 examples of the inside pages of these books.


This set includes actions/templates that will create the following :

1 - 3x3 page
2 - 3x3 softcover
3 - 5x5 page
4 - 5x5 softcover
5 - 5x5 hardcover

You can choose to purchase the collective actions and templates for this product. For PSE users and users of earlier versions of PS, this will allow you to use the newer actions without having to re-purchase if you upgrade.

The following products are included in this set. You may choose to purchase only one of these items listed for a discount.
1. Action for PS7/PSCS - compatibility with earlier versions of PS, including PS7 & PSCS
2. Action for PSCS2 & later - compatibility with later versions of PS, including PSCS2 & PSCS3
3. PSD Templates - compatibility with all versions of PSElements. The templates are layered and the page colors, stroke and text can all be modified or removed. The templates use clipping masks to make assembly of these pages a breeze !
4. non-PS Templates - compatibility with all non-PS image editors that have the ability to support layers. The templates are flattened, with just an opening for each image. This collection is only available with white and black pages for each set, each with the default gray stroke around the photo. (example below) Text is not included with any pages in this set.
