I've been looking around for a piece of software to help me build my albums and although I looked at offerings from Photojunction, Yervant and YSI most of them were just templates and many of them were overstylised (IMO) and geared towards what I call the American market. They were also quite expensive with most around the £250-£300 mark which is a lot of money if you discover it isn't the one for you.
A couple of days ago I came across the Fundy Album Builder from Solutions on Steroids, the price is reasonable and you use it inside Photoshop where it utilises Scripts and Actions to help you build your album. Obviously any new process takes time and following a few hours of tinkering I was able to build an album for a client in about 2 1/2 hours. I must stress this isn't a template package but more of a tool to allow you to build albums quickly and efficiently.
Once I started to get the hang of it my workflow was much quicker, once I'd decided what images to put on this spread the example below took me about three minutes to make from start to finish including adding the gradient, placement etc:
If you are looking for something like this I can highly recommend it.
