Cameo
A cameo cover has a beautiful window that surrounds an image which is preserved under a scratch-resistant laminate. We offer a range of options from square to rectangular (both horizontal and vertical) as well as custom sizes and shapes upon request. Each cover size has its own proportionate cameo size - please follow the instructions below.

The integrated Cover Creator Design Tool that is found as part of your album order forms allows you to upload an image and crop right there during your order. Understand that 0.5cm near the edges of the picture will be overlapped by the cover material and will not be visible, so please don't crop too tight. Templates are available below if you prefer to pre-crop.

How do design your cameo:
- Download templates
- Open in Photoshop
- Drag your image into the file and fill it completely. Do not leave any area of the template empty/white!
- Part of the image will be hidden under the cover fabric. We refer to this as a bleed or safety margin. Show guides / turn on guides to set safety margins 5mm/ 0.2" inside from each edge. Please remember that a bleed continues the image past the area which will be visible in the final product. Please ensure that you do not place anything important in this bleed space (heads, hands, etc.) unless you are okay with them being covered by the fabric. Unfortunately, QT cannot be responsible for any cover designs submitted without the correct design allowances made for this 5mm bleed.
- Save as JPG and upload in the album ordering form.

IMPORTANT: 0.5cm of "working space" is required around the edges of your photo. This is the approximate area where the cover fabric will overlap the edges of your photo. For example, a 10x10cm print will show 9x9cm of visible area when it sits behind the cameo window.
