Collecting together all your memories into a photo book can be a joyous time as you relive many of the memories captured within those pictures, and holding your creation for the first time is doubly exciting. Yet while there are many quality services that can give customers a hand in turning these memories into photo books, Mixbook and AdoramaPix can do more than most, with numerous features and functions that really make their services stand out. The only problem is that these two photo printing services are, in fact, so similar to each other in many aspects – including their virtually unlimited editors and pricing policies – that deciding which service is the better one to go with might seem quite impossible. But as always, the devil lies in the detail… Read More…

Scrapbooking Memories With Online Photo Book Services
Back in the old days, the only way to eternalize memories was to take photos, develop them, and then arrange them into an album or a scrapbook. Nowadays snapping an image and storing it somewhere else is a breeze, which is why hundreds if not thousands of pictures are taken each day. Too bad most photos aren’t preserved well; instead, they end up unsorted and forgotten in the depths of hard drives or hidden in the cloud. Although scrapbooking them the traditional way could save these memories from oblivion, most people aren’t up for the task of sorting and then manually placing photos into their respective place within an album.
But who said the scrapbook has to be physical? In fact, it’s as simple as registering to an online photo printing service to start creating virtual scrapbooks, which can then keep those precious memories in a stylish, well-organized format. Read More…
How to Turn Adobe Lightroom Projects to Photo Books
Leaving photos unorganized or untouched will only ever end up be really annoying, especially if you have snapped thousands of pictures over the years and they are starting to occupy precious storage space. This is why most people either download their photos into dedicated folders on a hard drive or use software to sort pictures for them. Adobe Lightroom is one such program, except with the added bonus of allowing its users to manipulate photos to their liking, too.
But even if Adobe’s solution is a playground for photo sorting and customization, it’s still very likely that the pictures stored there will just end up being forgotten. It doesn’t have to be that way, though, as not only does Lightroom have a built-in digital photo book builder, but if the right photo printing service is used, then the project can also be turned into a physical photo book for you and anyone else to enjoy.

Eternalizing Cherished Family Recipes With Photo Books
Everyone has their favorite meal, those tasty dishes that always hit the spot and are regular picks for sharing with the family. And every family is different, each with tons of unique recipes and twists on classics that have been perfected and tweaked over time. The only problem is that no matter how cherished those recipes are, most of them are usually kept on crumpled pieces of paper or in grease-stained notebooks, which could easily be lost or damaged to such a point that the instructions might even become illegible.
Thankfully, this doesn’t have to be that way, as all it takes is to create a family recipe photo book to eternalize those dishes – and to help others recreate the meals that you love the most. Read More…
Professional and Modern Photo Book Styles: Letting Creativity Loose
Nowadays creating a top-notch photo book is ridiculously easy. All it takes is picking a photo printing service, picking out the best photos, and then placing them into a book. In fact, the whole process is simplified to the point that there isn’t even a need to bother with the book’s theme or design either, as there are countless preset styles to choose from that can help to effectively tell a story.
However, despite being useful for the average customer these preset themes offer virtually nothing to express creativity, which can be a huge disadvantage for those who prefer to carefully design every single aspect of their book. Thankfully, photo books don’t necessarily have to be limited to just these most obvious themes; as a matter of fact, there are many techniques and options with which a photo book can be created in such a way that it would look to be the work of a true designer.

Binder Photo Books: The Neverending Story
Creating a photo book is like hitting two birds with one stone: not only can such a book be considered an artistic masterpiece – especially where its physical attributes are concerned – but thanks to the many ways that photos can be arranged on each page it is also capable of effectively telling a story as well. But what happens if there is more to the story and you want to continue it within the same book by adding more pages? In most cases, this would mean starting a new book as all photo books are bound together by glue or stitches, meaning that the addition of new pages later on is physically impossible.
Thankfully, however, a bit of thinking outside the box can solve this problem; enter binder photo books, the albums that can be customized with more or fewer pages even after the book is deemed complete. Read More…
Shutterfly vs Blurb Photo Books Comparison
When it comes to photo books there are two kinds of people, those who want their photo books to be the stars of the rooms they’re kept in, and those who would rather have something simpler to take out when feeling nostalgic, perhaps that is made more quickly. And this is exactly what Shutterfly and Blurb compare, the former often considered to be the photo printing service and the latter being a smaller company intended for customers looking for something more basic.
Shutterfly is without doubt the champion when it comes to everything related to photo books, whether that’s the easy-to-use editor, the insane amount of customization options, or the fair prices of its top-quality products. Although Shutterfly might seem unbeatable, Blurb may easily be the photo book company that could stop the giant by offering customers something not even Shutterfly does: self-publishing. Read More…
Encasing the Photo Book With an Image Wrap Cover
‘Don’t judge a book by its cover’ goes the ancient saying. But if we want to be honest, books are always judged by their covers, particularly in a world obsessed with the exterior qualities of physical appearances. And when it comes to photo books, a visually appealing cover could be even more important than the content. Most people are well aware of that, which explains why image wrapping photo books is so popular.
Although image-wrapped covers can make any photo book stand out and tell readers what to expect, if this method is taken to the next level then even an average photo book can easily become a masterpiece. Read More…
