Digital Photo Book Printing

fitzie79

Hi,

I have recently gotten married and am looking at creating a photo book myself (I found the prices quoted by photographers very expensive - but understandable considering there is a lot of time required to edit the pictures etc).

Some of the sites I have come across to date offer software that you download to create the photo book. Has anyone used any of the sites below (or any other ones that they would recommend). What has been the experience and are there any pitfalls to watch out for? All feedback appreciated.

I was shown a book last week printed by blurb. I was very impressed. She went for the dust cover option and the whole thing just screamed high quality.

I have used www.lulu.com & thought they were OK for the price. I did upload some sepia images & they did not print as well as the Colour or B&W images. The Hard Cover presents better than the Soft Cover versions for only a little more.

I did get an email recently from Leachcolour about some high quality Wedding Albums from Albums Australia I don't know if that would be of interest to you?

are the pictures from a professional photographer?

if they are, you will need his or her permission to go off and make the book

other wise you shout be ok

Class printing and lovely books.

most of those links will require you to show some form of professional credentials to use their services.

I'd agree with DarrenG, for a low end wedding album blurb.com is hard to beat.

thanks for the replies so far. the photographer knows that i am printing the book up myself so there is no issue with using the pitures.

I have to say I was slightly disappointed with the blurb one that I did.

Steve, I might give that Hahnemuhle one a shot...I like their paper.

I have one of those at home, never got around to using it yet. You're welcome to have a look at it before purchase.

Cool. We'll talk next weekend.
