What is Stamp Album Studio?

Stamp Album Studio is an extensive software package that helps you in designing the most beautiful pages of your stamp album in just a few minutes. Stamp Album Studio has a number of very strong key features:

Layout Wizard and Align Wizard

Stamp Album Studio offers Wizards that position and align stamps on your pages automatically. You will notice that you are relieved of a lot of annoying and time consuming work. This enables you to concentrate more on determining which stamps you want to draw and less on positioning and aligning them.

Templates

The pages in your album often have a fixed design, like a border around the page, a title and a page number. Furthermore texts and labels often have a fixed font.

When you need to design more than one page, the repetitive drawing of these objects on every page becomes an annoying job. Stamp Album Studio offers you the possibility to save the design of your pages in a template. Then you can use this template in your albums. So you define your design in one place and use it over and over again in your albums.

Stamp Album Studio comes with a number of pre-defined templates that can be used directly in your albums. So with Stamp Album Studio you make a jump start!

Scanning and analyzing stamps

With Stamp Album Studio you can read images of stamps directly from your scanner. It is possible to put more stamps at the same time on your scanner. Stamp Album Studio will scan all stamps together and will automatically cut out and straighten the images. After this you can edit the images or you can drag them onto your album page where a frame will be drawn around them automatically.

In short: You no longer need other software packages to read and edit images of stamps. Stamp Album Studio integrates these functions with its other design functions for album pages. You will save a lot of time by using Stamp Album Studio!
