    Adobe CC seems have changed this process? I can save the frames, but they don't show up as a preview like they do in your presentation?

    You can also save the process of removing the images and renaming the template with a Plugin called AlbumPro (simply search google for it).
    The feature is save is called add page to library.

    I'm new to InDesign and have a question. Can you convert templates that contain design elements in them to InDesign templates? For instance, I have many templates that I've purchased or downloaded from Digital Scrapbooking websites that contain design elements like vintage frames, etc. Can these be converted to InDesign templates so that the drag and drop functionality can be used?

  25. Christian Cura says

    Thanks for the tutorial!

  26. Waleed shibany says

    thank you 1000 time

  27. Aaron Puls says

    Thanks for the info. Im curious how do you deal with indesigns terrible image interpolation? I find at output stage indesign is almost unacceptably bad at down or upsizing images. It is only just acceptable if you output to PDF then convert the PDF to JPG….am I missing something here?

  28. Joshua Jones says

    Exactly what I needed. Thank you.

    @jfeagle214 Thanks for commenting! InDesign will definitely save you a ton of time (compared Photoshop) when you're making albums! If you're interested in learning more we have a full tutorial on using InDesign to create albums – there's a link in the video description 🙂

    So glad I stumbled upon your videos. LOVE them. You explain ID to me and I actually understand it. ID is new to me so I've been trying to teach myself, and now I see how easy it is to do albums I can't wait to get making them in ID, I have previously done them in Photoshop (and it's a pain to switch out photos). Great job can't wait for more!
