requirements?
Operating system Windows 98 (SE) or later. Processor

What if my computer meets half
of the requirements?
You will be able to work with the program, but it
will go slower. It is important to have at least 800
MB of free space in the hard disk, since the images
occupy a lot of space.

How much time does the
installation take?
The installation itself is very fast: about 1
minute. What takes most is the downloading of the
program from the internet, which will vary based on if

Is the payment by credit card
safe?
The payment is made by means of a safe connection
with the bank Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (BBVA).
This is the reason nobody, not even ourselves,
can see any data. Only when the payment has been
made, the bank communicates to us that everything is
correct.
Back to Top
What ways of payment can I use?
The payment is always made by VISA or MASTERCARD
, that can be of any banking organization in
direct safe connection with BBVA.

How good is the binding?
It is a very robust binding that gives the look of a
luxury book with three very special characteristics:
-
The
thickness of the sheets, which is more than
double than photographic paper.
-
The
covers have a quilted feel thanks to the foam
that is in the inside.
-
A
solid binding system that allows a page
opening of 180 degrees with totally flat sheets.

Is it possible to order
more than one album per order?
Yes, as many units as you like, but always of the
same album.
Back to Top
How long does it take to send the
album file by Internet?
It depends on the number and sizes of the photos and
type of connection. It can last with ADSL connection
between 20 and 40 minutes and with modem between one
and two hours. It can seem a long time, but, having
low flat rates, you can leave the computer connected.
Back to Top
What happens, if the
connection is cut while the album is being sent?
As the program is prepared for this eventuality, it
will only be necessary to connect again and the
sending will continue from the same point at which
it was interrupted. Back

What must I do when the
program indicates that the quality of the photo is
not sufficient for the selected printing size?
As it is indicated in the program message, for
most of the users the quality over 60% is
acceptable. This means that, excepting very small
details that are generally unnoticed, the photo will
come out well. If you want a 100% for all your
photos, you will have to take them with the suitable
resolution. For your reference a guide follows :
