Reception
Completed exports are not just files. They are receipts that the album left the editor in a specific format, quality, and spec.
The live exports page is a history surface. It tracks empty state, active work, finished files, failures, preview assets, and downloads.
This stage is where the album stops being “still in progress” and starts being something a lab or client could actually receive.
Before exporting, confirm:
- the spread design is final
- any client review is complete
- the album no longer needs layout changes
What Good Export Discipline Looks Like
- create exports when the album is actually ready, not just because you can
- use history to understand what already left the editor
- pay attention to failures instead of retrying blindly
- treat completed exports like receipts, not disposable clutter
