  2. Single Canvas templates come in ev ery aspect ratio AND with image wrap borders AND colored borders.
  3. Styles are included so you can change the colors of single canvas wrap borders.
  4. All templates can be flipped and rotated.
  5. They can be shown in “Select A Size” in actual size on a projection screen.
  6. They can be shown on your clients wall in actual size using “Working With Rooms” on any display (laptop, TV or projection).
  7. Over 60 templates compatible with ProSelect 2011r2 or later. With the ability to flip and rotate them, you receive over 100 different configurations.
  8. Formatted as a .tpk file so double clicking will instantly load the templates into your ProSelect software. Ready to use.

Wall series templates can be “broken apart” and arranged as a completely custom gallery for your clients specific space. You can also add composites or additional framed templates to create a unique look for EVERY client!

Studio Pricing Guide Is Here!

Wednesday, February 2, 2011

The Studio Pricing Guide   |  The Solution to “Collections”

It’s finally here! Our studio investment guide is now available for your own portrait business. After many, many requests, we have released the complete pricing guide. Hours and hours of design work, strategic thinking, business planning and client testing has gone into this guide! We use it everyday in the Jewel Images Portrait Design studio and have found the flexibility in this pricing structure allows clients to purchase what they want, but also gets the business to its bottom line.

The pricing is structured as a “Create Your Own” collection. The client simply has to follow the three steps to create their own portrait collection. It’s a fantastic solution to traditional packages because the client can choose from any number of products from wall art, digital files and albums to gift prints and boutique items— only purchasing what they want and need when they follow the three steps:

  1. Choose Two:  Wall Art, Digital Files and Albums
  2. Choose Three or More Gift Prints : 8 x 10 or smaller
  3. Choose Boutique Items (optional step)

Included in this guide is complete text, product descriptions, prices and layout. The prices have been determined against our studio’s cost of goods, so you will need to check to make sure these prices work with your own COGS and market structure. Make sure your market can bear these prices. In some cases, you will need to make them higher!  Pricing is included for prints, float wraps, gallery wrap canvas, canvas clusters, standouts, albums, image boxes, digital files, gift prints, jewelry, specialty items, cards, storyboards, plus our entire incentive program is included. We have samples of all our products here at the studio. Show what you want to sell!

The guide is formatted for a WHCC 8 x 8 Album. I have two of these printed in our studio and it’s what clients refer to during the sales appointment. We also have an online version that is part of our client information website. It can be printed using any of WHCC’s cover and press paper options except pearl. The cover needs to be re-sized if you wish to print pearl finish pages.  The album does not include images or damask flourish. Any page can be customized to your liking.

Your purchase includes:

1. The layered PSD files:

Change the text colors, layout and/or personalize it to your own branding.

2. Instructions on how to format the pricing guide as an online slideshow in Adobe Bridge.

Create an online version that you can post to your website or email to clients when they inquire!

3.  Instructions for changing colors, text, inserting images.

4. Jpg Previews.

Introductory Price: $125

ProSelect Wall Gallery Templates | Just Released!

Thursday, August 12, 2010

Show A ProSelect Wall Series In Actual Size

Wall gallery templates for ProSelect that you can actually size up or down and use with ProSelect’s “Select a Size” or “Room View!”

The common problem with the conventional ProSelect wall gallery templates is that they are designed with cartoon/vector art furniture to show scale, yes, but photographers cannot show the wall gallery on their clients wall or on a projection screen in actual size. Plus the images are small inside the template and difficult to see. Now you can!

1. All templates are scale-able up or down in size.
2. They can be flipped and rotated.
3. They can all be framed with whatever frame you have loaded into ProSelect (up to 2.5″-3.0″ in width).
4. They can be shown in “Select A Size” in actual size on a projection screen.
5. They can be shown on your clients wall in actual size using “Room View” on any display (laptop, TV or projection.
6. Over 60 templates compatible with ProSelect 4.1 or later. With the ability to flip and rotate them, you receive over 100 different configurations.
7. Formatted as a .tpk file so double clicking will instantly load the templates into your ProSelect software. Ready to use.
8. Single image templates with multiple crop ratios included that will be compatible with the next release 2010r2.

The next release will allow you to SHOW MULTIPLE LAYOUTS on a wall! This means taking any one of these wall gallery designs and then being able to ADD TO IT with up to 16 single images. You can create a completely custom gallery for your clients specific space. Each layout can then be individually framed! You can also add composites to wall galleries in the next release which is due out in November.

*You will receive two versions of these templates with your purchase. One will be “fixed” and locked, so that beginner ProSelect users won’t have trouble ordering sizes as the crop ratios change with scale. There will also be a “standard” version included, so that more advanced users can scale the templates up or down in size. Instructions for loading are included, along with several tutorials on importing frames, Room View and using the Shopping Cart.

*Room images are NOT included with this purchase, however several free ones are offered on the Time Exposure site. You may also purchase a set there for about $40 US.

Price : $139

Here are some screen shots of how these can be used (rotating, sizing up or down, etc) and screen shots of the templates themselves. .

ProSelect Wall Gallery Templates Are Here! | Pre-Selling Now

Wednesday, August 4, 2010

Ok Everyone, here they are!
We’ve finally designed what so many of you have been asking for!

Wall gallery templates for ProSelect that you can actually size up or down and use with Select a Size or Room View!

The common problem with the conventional ProSelect wall gallery templates is that they are designed with cartoon/vector art furniture to show scale, yes, but you can not show the wall gallery on your clients wall or on a projection screen in actual size. Plus the images are small inside the template and difficult to see.

Well, this changes it up a bit. Now you can show what you want!

  1. All templates are scale-able up or down in size.
  2. They can be flipped and rotated.
  3. They can all be framed with whatever frame you have loaded into ProSelect (up to 3″ in width).
  4. They can be shown in “Select A Size View” in actual size.
  5. They can be shown on your clients wall in actual size using “Room View.”
  6. Included are over 50 templates compatible with ProSelect 4.0 or later.
  7. Formatted as a .tpk file so double clicking will instantly load the templates into your ProSelect software. Ready to use.
  8. There are even single image templates with multiple crop ratios included because……

The next release (I am beta testing) will allow you to SHOW MULTIPLE LAYOUTS On a wall! This means taking any one of these wall gallery designs and then being able to ADD TO IT with up to 16 single images. You can create a completely custom gallery for your clients specific space. Each layout can then be individually framed! You can also add composites to wall galleries in the next release which is due out in November.

So these templates can be used right now and in the future when the new version comes out.

The final touches are being applied to these templates now. I will be “fixing” the size of the templates so that beginner ProSelect users won’t have trouble ordering sizes as the crop ratios change with scale. There will be instructions on how to un-”fix” the templates, so that more advanced users can scale the templates up or down in size.

Order Now

The templates will be ready for release August 12th. After this date the price will go up to $139. Those who pre-purchase will receive them first as a down loadable file.

Here are some screen shots of how these can be used (rotating, sizing up or down, etc) and screen shots of the templates themselves.The last image shows the new “beta” version and how two layouts (a wall series combined with an extra single layout) were used with different frames.

I hope you like these! I know that they can help you make BIG SALES!

The templates in ProSelect.

Larger Gallery

And downsized to show it smaller.

A template shown rotated vertically.

The same template shown horizontally and sized larger.

The same template again, but a new single image layout has been added above to custom design for the wall space. It is also shown with a different frame (this feature will be available in the next ProSelect release, but these templates are ready for it now).
