Once you have taken several digital pictures you may be ready to create your own photo books. Photo books are printed on high quality paper and can be more than a printed photo album. With the variety of layouts and backgrounds you can make a book on any topic that you want.
There are many photo book publishers and choosing the right one can be highly personal. Although photobooks are quite easy to make each publisher has a slightly different product to offer. Here are some pointers to consider when choosing which photo book publisher to use.
Are You Already Using an Online Photo Sharing Site?
If you already have most of your pictures uploaded to an online photo sharing site investigate if they offer photo books. If they do, this would be the place to start. Make a practice book to see if you like the interface and the options available. Most sites allow you to save a book you are working on, so you can make and share a book without placing a final order.
If you haven't used online photo sharing yet, choose a group of 10 or so pictures and then choose 3 or 4 photo book publishers and upload these pictures to each site. This will give you a good idea on how easy it is for you to upload photos to that site. Since you will be uploading a lot of photos if you are making photo books you want a site that is easy for you to upload. When you have the pictures uploaded start a photo book with each publisher to see how you like the interface they use. If there is one that you really like, that might be the publisher for you to choose. There are also a few other considerations.
Compare Photobook Prices
If cost is your primary consideration, you should compare the photobook prices.
Compare Book Sizes and Covers and Backgrounds Available
There is a minor variation in photo book sizes and covers so this can be a consideration if you are very particular about your choices. There is a wide variety of backgrounds available and this can make a big difference in your choices. You may even choose to use more than one photo book publisher depending on the project your are making.
