Abstract
Abstract A photographic album is proposed for a selected theme which has pre-printed pictures or views, with accompanying text, to provide the user with guidance and inspiration to take a corresponding series of photographs on the same theme. The photographs taken are then processed and substituted for the corresponding pre-printed views, either in the same album or in a reproduction of the album so that the customer then has a structured album of photographs with appropriate accompanying text.
