Output

Preset

Choose a preset output setting, for example, Preview PDF for a lower quality PDF to check the photo book. To save a PDF print file, choose Print PDF.

Format

Determine whether the pages of your photo book will be output as PDF or as single images as JPEG.

Output color profile

Select the color profile that matches your print shop. You can usually find information about this on the website of your provider.
If they offer a specific profile for download, you can import it by selecting "Add custom profile".
If you do not have any detailed specifications, select sRGB.

Output options

By checking Apply output color profile, the selected output color profile will be applied to the photos in the export file. In the case of a printer color profile, this usually also converts the color space to CMYK format.

If the checkmark Separate double pages is set, double pages will be split in the result file - you will receive each book page as a single page.
However, depending on the printer or book format (e.g. layflat books), double pages must be exported as such - in this case you must remove the checkmark.

Select whether the PDF should be created with bleed (data format) or only the pages without bleed (final format).
(Passing the data to a printing house is usually done with bleed).

Output file name

Enter a file name with file storage path or select it via the Folder icon.

Output binding in separate file

Depending on the selected print provider, the cover and pages may need to be delivered separately. Check the box if you want to receive separate result files for cover and content.

These features are only available in the Pro version.

Preset
