UPDATE: As of January 2009 the Earth Collection is now available to all COUTURE BOOK customers!
Adobe Lightroom is no longer required to place your order.
It is finally here!! The worlds first "Green" photo book!!
Available exclusively from COUTURE BOOK and through Adobe LIGHTROOM! In conjunction with Adobe's support, we are launching the Earth Collection exclusively to owners of Adobe Lightroom software. These books will be available via export of images using our free Lightroom Plugin, available for download on the Adobe Lightroom Exchange. So if you want an Earth Collection book, then you've got to have or you need to get Lightroom. If you don't have Lightroom yet, why not? It rocks! And with our new plugin, managing your workflow has never been easier!
Please see this post on how to download, install, and use the Lightroom Export Plugin for COUTURE BOOK.
Our much anticipated line of books feature:
100% Post-Consumer recycled paper,
Environmentally sensitive cover materials like hemp, recycled kraft paper, and lotka paper
Green E-Certified Windpower and Carbon-Neutral,
5% of the proceeds going to replanting and reforesting and purchasing offsetting carbon credits.
Be a Part. Make a Difference. You can feel good when you purchase a book from our Earth Collection that you are making a difference for our planet.
Producing 1000 Earth Collection books will generate environmental benefits equivalent to:
Not driving 7070 miles in an average automobile
12562 lbs. net greenhouse gases prevented
96,152,000 BTUs of energy not consumed
6830 lbs. of solid waste not generated
135.74 trees preserved for the future
