I've been secretly assembling a photo album of our summer's vacation as a surprise present for my wife, using the "Books" feature within iPhoto.
I know I should have asked before I leaped, but figured that its not too late for others to consider using iPhoto to quickly make up a gift for a friend/familymember or a 2007 calendar, etc, for anyone looking for ideas.
Personally, I was favorably impressed with the ease of use of the drag-n-drop into the iPhoto's "book" template, and while there were a couple of instances where I didn't like the limitations on creative control imposed by the tempates, overall, I think iteh project is going to turn out pretty well. FWIW, I chose the hardbound 8.5 x 11 and at ("only") 75 pages, it came out to around $90 after shipping.
I know cost is a factor, but I'm mostly interested in the quality of the finished product and how good other people's experiences have been. The real reason I'm asking this question is essentially: "Do I need to open the box to do a final Quality Control check before I give it to her?"
Survey Sez:
a) Exceeded my expectations
b) Didn't meet my expectations, but was still good
c) Bad - burn them at the Stake!
d) Have found a better service (Specify)
e) Haven't tried
