I love digital photo books! Theytake up less physical space than the traditional photo album and produce far lessclutter than traditional paper scrapbooking.

Ready to jump on that learningcurve?

Understanding the Basics

Standard digital photo books are usually...

  • about 20 pages with the capacity to include 100-150 pages
  • hard or soft cover
  • sometime come with a dust cover, or the option of purchasing a dust cover for an additional fee
  • vary in size anything from 5x5 to 7x10 to 8x8 to 10.5x11 to 12x12

Every company Ive worked withrequires you to first create a free password-protected user account. Fromthere, some companies ask you to download bookmaking software while othersoperate entirely online.

Photo Book Variables

Photo book options vary just asmuch as the companies that produce them. There are many features available, butno one company offers them all. Therefore, its best to decide what YOUconsider to be the most important photo book elements before you begin yourproject. For example: if you want to spend the least amount of money possible,you will most likely be sacrificing quality and working assembling your bookwith somewhat confusing software. To get the best quality and most customersupport, you will most likely need to spend more money.

Variables include:

  • book quality
  • prices (base price quotes are usually just forthe standard 20-pages; after that you pay per page)
  • customer service
  • layout options
  • the amount of text you can put on a page
  • ability to alter and edit photos
  • individual page layout options
  • variety of backgrounds, templates and themes
  • usability of photo book software; the time and work it takes to learn the program nuances
  • process of uploading photos, storage and sharing options
  • the ability to make other custom projects from digital images, such as a calendar, greeting cards, t-shirt, etc.
Howto Choose a Personal Publishing CompanyTo find the company that willbest suit your needs, consider the following:

  1. Digital photo books vary, just like the companies who publish them. How much help will you need? Browse through the about us and customer service portions of the website to get a feel for how available they are to answer individual questions. Are there webinars or tutorials to get you started?

  1. What size do you want for your personalized photo book? Different companies offer different options. If you want to create a photo book based on your 12x12 scrapbook pages, itll be easiest to print a 12x12 book.

  1. What is your skill level? How easy does your project need to be? If you dont want to spend a lot of time customizing pages, look for attractive templates and themed books. If the available backgrounds and designs seem limiting, make sure the company offers editing options and photo placement flexibility.

  1. How much text are you planning to include? Some companies/templates offer little more word space than the ability to print photo captions. Make sure there is enough space to say what you want to say.

  1. How many photos do you plan to include? Watch that additional page charge it can add up quickly.

  1. Is the cover important? Do you want to be able to print your book title on the spine? Do you need a dust jacket? Again, options vary considerably.

  1. What do you plan to do with your book? Who will read it? If youll be handing your digital photo books over to young children, make sure the book and pages are of a higher quality so they will resist wrinkles and tears.

One thing is certain - a picture is worth a thousand wordsbut only if you look at them! Digital photo books are the perfect solution.
