   Keep in mind that the Panovista book folds calendar style, so the crease will be horizontal, not vertical as shown in the design software.

Once you start your new project in AlbumStomp, click on the AlbumStomp menu, then Preferences.

Un-click the box under Sharpening, so that it will not sharpen images when exporting.

Since our printing process is so crisp already, adding sharpening when exporting from the design software tends to be overkill and results in files that look digitized. If in doubt, email customer service ([email protected]) and ask for a test print before ordering your book.

1. Email Vision Art customer service ([email protected]), let them know you need a cover template file and the specifications for making a cover in AlbumStomp. They will need to know the type of book, book size, and number of spreads.
2. After designing all of the spreads, save and export the project.
