Print Guides
Use guides to protect faces, text, and important details before the album goes to print.
Print guides are there to stop bold layouts from turning into expensive surprises.
Editor Guides Demo
Switch between layflat and bound behavior, then turn guides on and off like the real menu does.

What this means
Safe zone protects the outer edge. Gutter protects the center seam in bound books. Turn the right guide on before the album teaches the lesson the hard way.
Guide preview
The guide layer sits above the spread. Layflat keeps the center open. Bound albums need more respect at the spine.
The live editor exposes these through View > Guides and a dedicated guides explainer. Bound albums and layflat albums do not behave the same at the center.
What These Guides Are Watching
- Safe Zone keeps important details away from trim risk near the edge
- Gutter marks the center binding area that can hide or distort content in bound albums
The big distinction is simple: layflat and bound albums do not behave the same at the center.
