You've designed your album. You've created your exports. You're ready to upload. One key step you need to add: check your print files! Open your exports in Photoshop. Double check your alignment and image placement. Make sure the correct images are on the layouts. View them at 100%. Double check for pixelation. Are your files the correct color profile for your printer? They should be Adobe 1998 for Queensberry. Have you used our soft proof profile to double check your colour (you can download them here)? Is your monitor calibrated? If this is your first order, you are eligible for free test prints. If you haven't had them in a while, and you haven't ordered in some time, I would recommend a current set. Double checking your layouts will take you a few extra minutes, but if you find an issue with a layout, it will save valuable time in producing your album, and maybe save some money and avoid some frustration too.

Hi Miz, The issue arises when you when large files are compressed to fit in to smaller files when printing. The interpolation causes information to be stripped out of the file which creates the appearance of soft images. Cheers Peter

I have just made an album 10x14, they are all good, except small photos in the album. In the layout there are many large photos like 12x8 and small photos like 3x3 or 4x6 but small photo doesn't have sharpness as large photos have. Now I opened psd file that is the exact file that they printed from, they are all sharp, large photos and small photos, zoomed at 100%.But as a result I got very softness photos that don't look like in focus, and all small photos are getting same result.Talked to the printer who worked for the album, he printed photos as normal, he didn't do anything wrong, but got the result. Could anyone give me answer please?
