p.1 #1 · need help with book software


ok im pulling my hair out whats left of it.

I need to put together a cheap album for around 60-70 bucks.

I thought Id use blurb BUT they want to be able to proff/see it and blurb only shows 15 pages which is not doing me any good....

I have an acct with BRI and WHCC and when using whcc I dont get the roes designer thing... i cant even figure out how to goto the next page.


BRI is a lil better but the images look like someone poured pepper all over them, and worry that it will print like that as that is what happened to a image in blurb book...

BRI is easily under $70 depending on the size. You can't design in Photoshop/Indesign?

BRI's pressbooks smack of awesome. *All* of my clients are impressed with the quality of them. I had a past client come to me this week saying she printed up a book with Blurb and was so disappointed with the quality, that she wanted to order another coffee table book (BRI pressbook) from me.

What do you mean: "BRI is a lil better but the images look like someone poured pepper all over them"??

Are you looking for software to design the album? or software to proof an album?

For proof, I use a little flip book flash plugin, see an example here:

BRI also uses something similar in their http://www.approvemyalbum.com/

wow... very nice! what did you use to design it?

in the roes designer... looks like i shot everything at ISO 1234123423442332.5

its turrabul.

ok so i just spent HOURS designing a book on blurb and I only get the 15 pages... goddammit. I know blurb is not the best choice... but that is all this job is quoted for.

I used fotofusion to do design. Well worth it!

There's also photojunction that's free, I heard great things about it too.

You have to keep in mind though just how much design work you want to put into a $70 album (if that's what they are paying you) versus whether you want crud do go out with your name on it .
