Blurb?

December 31st, 2010
I'm trying to use Blurb to create a photobook (I decided I may aswell splash out, also, I forgot that pages have two sides so it's rather cheaper then I thought :p)

Only thing is, I'm having a few issues. It's taking absolutely forever. Does anybody know if you can like, apply a page layout to every single page?

Also, all of my pictures are like, being 'made to fit' the picture box, but because some are portrait, some are landscapes and some have weird crops, this is really annoying and doesn't look very good. Does anyone know how to stop it doing that?
Thank you! :)

Hhhhmmm.... not sure, b/c I've never used blurb. But I LOVE the way www.picaboo.com works! You download the program to your desktop and go from there - super user friendly, you can use a TON of different backgrounds from their website, or there is a good selection on the program yourself - OR you can use your own images for the backgrounds, cover, etc. Price isn't bad, either!

I'd be changing to a different company Naomi.

It's still taking forever but now each page is the same format, and I've worked out how to sort the pictures a bit. Hm, I'll keep trying :')

Wish I knew what to suggest, but please report back to us if you find a site that will let you control the cropping and layout. Thanks @dawnetta for the suggestion. I'll try that one too.

One of the things I LOVE most about picaboo is that I get to choose exactly how each page is set up (TONS of preset options) and how each photo is cropped. If you try it, let me know how you like it!
