You can use your images as long as they are uploaded as one complete PDF or separate .jpg files :)

Lisa,

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
http://www.prestophoto.com/wiki/index.php?structure_id=303

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?

If you have other questions or if I missed something let me know and I'll do my best to help.

Want to create a photobook with jpgs

Posted:11 Nov 2010 (03:03 UTC)
Hi there,
I just started using Photoshop to create scrapbooking pages a few months ago. I've created 12x12 pages, and saved them as jpgs. Then opened the jpgs and changed the canvas size to 12.25x12.25 for the trim. I've read thru most of the documentation here and i'm so confused! Can I use the jpgs or do i need to open all my psd files and save as pdfs? I don't think I'm going to figure out how to embed any fonts. I wasn't expecting this to be so complicated. I have 50+ pages saved, should have over 70 when I'm ready to do the book, which I was hoping would be soon. Hoping to also upload an image for the cover as well.

Thanks for any advice you can give me!
Lisa
