Kip Powick Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Has anyone used a particular company to make a "Photo Book" and if so were you happy with the quality of the finished product?? I am in the process of trying to figure out which company to use as I want to "dump" multi hundreds of photos out of my computers so the rest of the family and friends can see them in book style. Any help/hints appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Hudson Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Kip; http://www.mypublisher.com/ Superb quality, timely delivery, great price, easy interactive software to use. Some limitations in terms of formatting text but not significant. Excellent for all occasions - my wife put a book together for my retirement - photos, comments, including all the abusive ones - scan old photos as jpgs - it's all done online. We've made several since, for friends' special occasions etc. Good luck! Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innuendo Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Here are a few to look at to get you started. The iPhoto one needs a Mac of course. You might try a search to get opinions of the quality of the paper and layout options available. IMO it is a really good idea to print some of the stuff you think your family might be interested in down the road. There is a quote from somewhere that goes, "We may well be the most recorded generations that leave very little trace". Digits can be very fragile. www.shutterfly.com www.apple.com/ilife/iphoto/print-products.html www.mypublisher.com/ www.blurb.com/create/book/photobook www.kodakgallery.com/gallery/category.jsp?catId=Books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John S. Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 We've used Apple iPhoto for several years of Christmas presents & gifts. Not real inexpensive but top quality results. Kids put together a 30th anniversary 'coffee table' gift book and everyone who has seen it has been impressed. If you are interested I'd suggest you try out a small 'last vacation' booklet and see how you like the results before committing to something larger.

Trader Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 www.blurb.com is the best that I have used whit good choices for size and style and excellent quality. There is a Cdn company now as well, more expensive though. I'm on a atrip but will look it up when I get back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mo32a Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I thought this was an aviation forum ! You obviously haven't been here long then. As has been pointed out many many times before it is an aviation employee forum. Even (most) aviators have more than one dimension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
