The showing, which I call the wedding premiere, takes place as soon as the bride and groom return from their honeymoon. It becomes a special event. She uses Montage software, a program that allows her to design the album right on the screen. I find they add more photographs than I would. The negatives are pre-cropped to size, so clients see the images exactly as they'll appear in the albums.
Montage allows the photos to be displayed as thumbnails.
They couldn't imagine how they would look in an album. The computer takes all the guesswork out. Montage has a slide show feature that allows Cantrell to make up videotapes of the photo presentation. As a result, Cantrell gets lots of re-orders. She also prints out a copy of every album page.
