      A “hot” topic at our April 1st meeting was Photo Albums. I’ve created this Topic for us to add our “favourite” and known suppliers of service. Jonathan started us off, so his will be the first Comment/Reply [NB It took me a while to work out to assign the post to Jonathan, but I know now how to do it]

      Here’s a link to the CEWE site.

      As you would expect there’s a software programme to download in order to compile the books. It is updated several times a year but thankfully they have kept roughly the same product range so it’s been possible to create a similar booklet each year for continuity.

      It takes a little patience initially to get to grips with it but I think it’s reasonably intuitive. You can make it as simple or complicated as you like really ( I stick to one pic per page ).

      The quality of the printed pics is obvs dependent upon the quality of the images imported.

      The specific product I’ve been using is this one.

      We thought it might be more useful as a ” pocket book” than the better quality hard back ” coffee table” type books but it’s all down to personal taste.

      This is the cheapest they do, I think, starting at £5.99 for 26 pages ( plus delivery charge ).  I order several copies for family members so the unit cost is very reasonable..   Maximum number of pages is 50.

      And the results are in the pic attached. Nine so far – how long does one keep making em? I expect the teenage years may become more problematic!

      I’ve used Snapfish in the past. I was reasonably happy with the results but I moved on to Blurb, which I’ll say more about later.

      They do have a Spring offer on at the moment, which you might be able to pick-up from the attachment below.

      However for my Photo Books these days, I use Blurb, which is integrated into my photo editing software – Adobe Lightroom. There are too many options available in the package to list them, but I’ll provide a link to a page on my Photo Blog, where you can view them …
