Now you can layout the pages in your own PhotoBook Press photobook. Download our New PhotoBook Designer software, and follow these quick start steps below. You may find further help in creating your book here: My Photo Book FAQ.

Step 1: Click the Download Software button above. Be sure to choose right version of the software for your computer – Mac or PC. The software is contained in a ZIP archive. This archive will need to be expanded. Mac users can download a free version of Stuffit Expander here.

Step 2: Double click on the PhotoBook Designer application on your computer. The application will launch and you will see this window:

Step 3: The quickest and easiest way to start your book is to click on Fast Track. You will be asked some basic questions about your book, like the shape or orientation (landscape, portrait or square), the size, and whether you would like a Hardcover or Softcover book.

Step 4: As you set up your book, you will be asked to choose a page layout style, and be asked to add your images to your book. Once you make these choices the software will set up your book for you! Once the book creation process is complete you will see a screen like this:

Step 5: Review all your pages and make changes (see the online help documents here). Once you are happy with your book, click the Send to PhotoBook Press button (located at the top left portion of the book layout window).

NOTE: You must keep the images in the book on your computer if you want to save the book for further editing. Images on an external hard drive that is disconnected will lose their link to your book – you will have to start over from the beginning.

Step 6: After you click the Send to PhotoBook Press button you will be guided through the steps of automatically uploading it to our server. Once your book is received you will arrive at a page where you can enter your payment information. We request a 50% deposit when you submit your book. NOTE: You may still make changes to your book after you submit it. We will contact you shortly after receiving your book with production details.
