CREATING A PHOTO BOOK plus PRINTING

[FUJI]

Many of us fancy creating and then getting printed a Photo-Book.

A couple of years ago, I downloaded and used the BLURB software to create a thirty page Landscape format  A4 hardback.....it was relatively easy, beautifully produced and printed , but expensive.

Recentlty I downloaded two apps to my iPad Pro ....BOOK CREATOR ...as used in schools, plus....PDF EXPERT ....both cost little.

Book creation is dead easy, just choose an A4 format/ landscape/square or portrait ....And then add photos/illustrations and text as you add pages....you can add video and sounds if producing an E-Book.

Once satisfied, save the book as PDF document....now...here comes the interesting bit....

‘I discovered BookPrintingUK, in Peterborough, they can’t be faulted, customer service second to none, a printed proof within 7 working days and the finished order in around a week, or 30 days for hardbacks. 

I sent them my pdf....for appraisal by their IT and Printing techie’s....after a small adjustment it was accepted....my order was for three 64 page Paperbacks containing 164 of my best mono  pics from the last three years .

I have received the proof, the printing is breathtakingly beautiful....Three books plus a printed proof for under £90 ..... WONDERFUL.

I am already creating my next book , and resurrecting another from my old pc...

The pdf of the whole book can also be sent to relatives and friends as a gift....

I sent KOBIONE one, I am sure that she will vouch for the quallity produced by the BOOK CREATOR app .

All of my pics were saved as JPEGS 300 dpi....2000 mp longest side.

 

here is a sample..

Interesting.  I've only ever made one photo-book and for that I just used the on-line facility on Photobox.

Is this software only available for iPad or are there Mac / PC versions?

 

 

Edit: Tell you what, Gareth - why don't you Google it yourself!
Book Creator is for iPad and Chromebook only.
PDF Expert is for iPad, iPhone and Mac.

Yes, Fuji, I can honestly say that the quality of every single picture is fantastic, and I have had a lovely browse through it while enjoying a cup of coffee - won't be my last visit to it either!!
