Tips & Tricks

Before starting, a small amount of preparation will make it fast and easy to create photo books in a very short time...

• It is much easier to automatically sort your images by date and time if you set your camera to the correct date
   and time before you shoot. Synch your camera date and time with your friends cameras to ensure the order is
   right when you start creating.

• Pre-sort your photos at home as much as possible. This way you can ensure your photos are loaded in sequence
   automatically, especially when sharing photos or adding scanned images.
   Rename your files with a zero in front of the file name,eg: 001.jpg 002.jpg 003.jpg etc. If you want to have particular
   photos on a page then also add a letter at the start. eg: A001.jpg A002.jpg A003.jpg A004.jpg for the first page and the
   following page will start with B001.jpg and so on.

• Use our automatic Photo Fix and other quick and easy editing features to improve contrast, brighten colours,

   remove red-eye, choose black-and-white or sepia.

• Once loaded you can sort your photos by filename, date (last edited) or as loaded.Then on each page add or remove
   photos and even make one image the 'hero' (main image)of a particular page. Shuffle and manually re-arrange till you
   are happy with the composition

• You can select a photo for the album’s cover page, select a title and add text to any page.

• Add more than just digital photos.  You can scan old photos, negatives, slides,
   children’s artwork, recipes, work images, tickets and travel mementos.

Use plenty of images:

   Use 30-126 photos when making a 11x8.5 Hard Cover Photo Book (max 378 photos 42 pages).
   Use 30-90 photos when making a 12x12 Hard Cover Photo Book (max 270 photos 30 pages).
   Use 18-54 photos when making a 5x7 Soft Cover Photo Booklet (max 90 photos 18 pages).

Don't forget it's fast, easy and fun..
