Blank Templates & AsukaBook Photoshop^® Tool

You can resize, enhance, color correct, and lay out your photos onto our already created and downloadable Blank Templates.

Download the specific set of templates for the product type, size, number of sides and finish every time you start a design project.
Do not change any of the template specifications, including file names.
If you add or remove pages from/to the original download, note that the size of the cover/case files may also need to change.
