We live in a moment where we love to immortalize every moment of the day. Social networks also encourage us to portray every moment and share it. Even the latest trend is to create a photo diary.

Either way, not all the people around us are familiar with social networks, or directly prefer to have them remembered directly on paper. For it, Apple offers us the creation of memories in the form of calendar or greeting cards and of course, the star gift as it can be a photo album. Get to work to be the most original this Christmas! The first thing we consider is what kind of quality our work will have. I must tell you that I have been designing and buying these types of Apple products for years and they continue to surprise me every time I receive them. I choose them for their high quality and originality in their designs, without abandoning the clear and simple lines of Apple.

To do this, we must import the photograph / s that we want to use in the application Photos. If there are a lot of them and you don't want to interfere with your regular library, you can always create a new library by holding down Alt while Photos opens.

With the photos incorporated, we went to the Photos section. This is in the first position in the sidebar of the application. Next, we find a + sign in the upper bar. We press it and we will see several options. Today we are interested in: book, calendar or cards.

If we choose a book, we will create a photo album. Apple allows us three sizes: 20 × 20, 25 × 25, 33 × 25, 28 × 22 for hardcover and 20 × 20 and 20 × 15 for softcover. The minimum of pages is 20 and we can add as many pages as we want. The prices are found from € 9,99 for a softcover and from € 24,99 for a hardcover.  albums_fotos_macos_sierra

We can also perform calendars. We have only one option: a double-page wall calendar with a spiral in the middle. The measures are 33 × 25 and its price € 19,99  calendar_photos_macos_sierra

Finally, we can always turn to some original postcards. We have three modalities: with embossed, folded and simple (double sided). The measurements are 13 × 18 except for the simple one which is 10 × 15. Prices, from € 0,91 to € 2,99  postcards_fotos_macos_sierra

The elaboration, very simple: Apple provides us templates, similar to the views in Pages, keynote, where we will insert the photographs, being able to choose whether to insert between one and six photographs. Then we can reframe or zoom the image to our liking: even edit it with the settings of the application itself.

The elaboration is simple and fast. Delivery in 3 to 4 business daysAlthough on the page they inform us of one more day, but the order is usually advanced. We can also do the same monitoring as any Apple product buying at the Apple Store. Finally, receive the product without being a Mac, iPhone, iPad, It bears some similarity in terms of the presentation.

So if you don't know what to give this Christmas, this is an option that will remain in your memory.
