My days as a wedding photographer took me to album design computer software - where multiple images in varying sizes could be imported to an album page. As technology progressed, a plethora of new designs have come on board primarily for the children and senior portrait market - to use for books and the 10x20 and 12x24 portrait panels. A variety of elements are added for interest.

There is an emerging market of "Digital Scrap Bookers" that has been popular among the hybrid scrap book and stamping enthusiasts. Photographers can use their own images and now present them in an exciting and creative manner. Images are placed on a digital paper consisting of several layers to bring out the desired colours and graphics. Elements are added for an artistic quality. The papers and elements are provided by artists who offer their designs for others to use.
