How to Export an Album​

The fastest way to export your album from Maqueteer is to click on the “Export” button in the toolbar. Alternatively you can use the main menu File > Export, or press Option+Command+E, to bring up the Export dialog.

Note: To start the exporting process, all the original images used in the album must be reachable by Maqueeter. If it's not the case an informative error will be shown.

You also will be warned if any of your images do not have a color profile. If you ignore this warning, the sRGB color profile will be assumed for these images.

  1. You can export the whole album, only the current spread in the canvas, or the spreads selected in the navigator.
  2. Currently Maqueteer supports exporting your album in JPEG, PDF, TIFF, PNG, HEIC or layered PSD formats.
  3. You can choose from sRGB, Adobe RGB 1898, ProPhoto, or Display-P3.
  4. Set 100% for the best result, but if it is for a preview of your work 80% is a good trade-off between output size and quality.
  5. The level of sharpening, default is medium.
  6. It lets you export your album as single pages instead of full spreads.
  7. Click if you want to resize your exporting album for sharing, proofing, and so on.
  8. You can include proof marks when exporting: page/sheet number, image number and image file name.

When you were happy with the settings just click "next...", and after selecting the destination the export process will begin.

Exporting with Pro vs. Basic versions​

Maqueteer has two versions available. Basic version is completely free, and has the same features as the PRO version. But exporting has some limitations:

  • Export resolution is limited to 254 dpi.
  • Export "page" size is limited to 8 inches width or height. (20x20 cms). So your spread size can't be bigger than 16x8 inches.

The Pro version hasn't any of these limitations.

Exporting with a Custom Size​

1.- You can specify the new size by width or height.

2.- Just use the Units you want to configure these settings.

3.- DPI (dot per inch) resolution can be adjusted from 70 to 600.

4.- If you check this box, the Cut/Trim area won't be exported. Useful for proofing, sharing and so on.

5.- Here you can see, the final export size of the spreads.
