Adhesive Photo Album

Hi all,

Thanks for looking.

I bought 2 self adhesive photo albums today. (Buy one get One free on selected albums & frames @ Boots - UK! lol)

Now, I have used these types of album before but this time i need them to be perfect,
as they are to show all the new photography tricks I've learned with my new camera.

The problem is that no matter how many times i do it, i can never smooth out all of the creases in the film above the photos.
Then i started thinking maybe there is a trick to it that I'm not aware of!

So does anyone have any advice they could offer me for beating the creases back?

Many Thanks in Advance

Simon

Trial and error. It may help to have someone else holding the sheets out straight while you smooth them into place.

I hate to tell you this, being you already bought the albums, but if you leave your images in there a long time, (several years), they may stick to the backing and become impossible to remove withour tearing. Those "magnetic" albums are not the best storage solution for your photos.

Hey
I'm putting lots of cute photos in a photo album for my brother's 18th and I'm looking at buying a photo album to stick them all in. I was looking at this one from whsmith.

But could anyone explain what the term self-adhesive actually means. I get that it's sort of self sticking but would I peel a sheet back and stick them on, and if so would the bits without photos on be sticky too? Or are there already sets places for you to put the photos on?
I was hoping to arrange the photos my own way, some overlapping etc so would I need a different type of photo album?

Thanks, hope that wasn't too confusing!

I think that means, that, it comes with sticky pages, and then a clear film that you can peel back. You can take pictures on and off and re-arrange, the stickiness will always be there.

If you are really unsure, maybe go there and check.

A warning about self-adhesive photo albums. The plastic used can leach the colour out of your photographs. This can take over ten years but it is not advisable to use them with photos you don't have copies of.

These albums have a plastic film that peel back and then you slip in your pictures, where can I buy one?

Most Pharmacies have those kinds of albums and I would BET that you could find them in any Crafts store like Michael's.

I know there are a few kinds out there like the "slip-in" which is what I have always used, (that has the 4 x 6 pockets usually) and the self-adhesive, and the dry-mounted etc.. But which is the best one to use, that doesn't cost a lot and doesn't turn your pictures yellow over time.
I should also mention that I collect postcards (you know, of cities I've been to around the world) I have a lot of them and I'm tired of showing them to people in piles. They leave their fingerprints on them.. and sometimes I notice that some are missing.. so I think it would be best to find a good photo album to display them in... Let me know if you have an idea about what kind of album i should use.
Thanks.
