Comment on 8.5x11 Photo Book
Re: My own design - photobook
Posted:13 Sep 2010 (16:16 UTC)greetings from PrestoPhoto and thank you for your interest.
We prefer one complete PDF or separate .jpg files. We recommend your images be at 300 dpi.
For all our trim sizes we recommend you make the cover images as well as the interior page images 1/4" larger than your book size. For example if you plan to create an 8.5x11 book the cover image as well as interior pages would be 8.75x11.25 (at 300 dpi).
Most importantly, keep all important items (people, heads, text,borders) away from the outer 1/2" on all sides.
Here is a page that may help

We trim 1/8" on all sides and just keep in mind an 1/8" is a greater percentage of the book for our mini books than it is for say an 8.5x11 book. In other words 1/8" is a greater percentage of 5" than it is of 8.5". Does that make sense?
Here is a link to our page about 2-page spreads that may help: http://www.prestophoto.com/photos/gallery/11323
As a note, for all of our books the first interior page prints on the right, regardless of whether or not it displays on the right or left in the preview. The first interior page will always print on the right.
Let us know if you have anymore questions!

My own design - photobook
Posted:12 Sep 2010 (07:17 UTC)Hi, I have a question
I made digital scrapbook with Photoshop
and I want to print it.
So it's self-designed, I don't want to use your photobook creator (with themes etc).
Is it possible? What's the image requirement for the images I want to submit? I have some spreads too (1 picture spread in 2 pages)
Thanks a lot
