Cool Convert Album Pages to Bound Photo Book

Good evening. I've been using PSE for years, currently v4. I am only now taking the time to learn to use it well, so you'll be seeing me on the forums.

I made a photo book last night. I started out making photo pages, then changed my mind mid-stream. I found it frustrating that I couldn't find a way to take my album pages and convert them to a photo book.

AFT,

Welcome to the forums!

Are you on a Mac or a PC ? Because with iPhoto (Mac), you can make your own albums very easily and even print them at home.

Hi AFT, what is preventing you from converting your album pages to a photo book? Is it the size of the pages won't print on your printer, or is it another issue?

Hi . . . just joined the forum and hoping for some help. I just purchased the PSE ver 6 and was wondering if I can print the album pages and construct my own book rather than sending it off. Thanks for all help you can give.

hi

I thought I'd join the discussion as I have just finished a photo book. I used shutterfly to print the book, but the layouts and page design were all done in elements. I purchased a 12 x 12 " photos book and used some templates taht I created myself using elements. Shuterfly offers lots of different layouts but often the photos I want to put into the template that have don't fit well.

After making all the pages I uploaded them to shutterfly as JPEG images and then just dropped them one by one into the book.

I received ti the pother day and was very pleased with the outcome.

If you're looking to do a book at home on your own printer I know there are products you can buy to go that route too.

Here's one that I saw the other day Epson Photo Story

Hope you have a good time with your book!
