PUBLISH A PHOTO BOOK


The results are fantastic !  Of course, to some extent, it is dependent on your abilities as a photographer and editor, but almost anyone at any level should be able to produce a professional looking book from your home computer with little effort and experience.

I did this one using Apple's iPHOTO publishing tools and services. Although a little pricier than others I checked out, I liked it for this project because the combination of page options and automated photo decisioning (1) worked better for what I was trying to do. Also, Apple was running a 20% off sale, which brought the price down to a more reasonable level.

(1) by photo decisioning, I mean the "intelligence" built into the software that decides how to lay out and size your photos. No question that it is annoying - bordering on infuriating at times - but after I learned how to manipulate it and how to maximize the result closest to what I wanted, it wound up being better than what I was getting from another publisher - Blurb.
