这是我第一次用photobook制作相本，不过之前有用过pixajoy来制作photobook，所以这次相对的有了经验，在photobook网站下载了readybook的版本，再根据自己的需要作修改，把照片放进去，只用了3个小时就完成了~ 超快的！！！

Photobook Designer Quick Guide
Before you begin, be sure to download and install the Photobook Designer Software. Refer to the steps below to find out more about the features of the software.
1. Select your book type and size
Select your preferred book size from the drop-down list. Choose from a range of book sizes and styles consisting of hardcovers and softcovers. Check out all available book sizes and styles here. Next, name your new book project and click "Create".
2. Load your pictures
Click on "+" icon to add pictures to your project. Select the pictures you desire to put into your book. Your pictures will then be loaded into the "Pictures" tray, and are now ready to use.
You are able to import pictures from Facebook and Flickr as well.

(Max 8mb and 600 DPI).
3. Fill in pictures
To insert a photo, drag-and-drop your picture into the page. You can choose to have your picture as a single picture, background picture or spread.
TIP: Avoid placing important objects (eg. faces, text boxes, etc) directly on the center of the spread (along the shaded area). Our books are binded with PUR glue for the most durable binding strength and pictures that spread across the center line may seem curved or certain parts may be hidden from view.
4. Resize, crop & rotate pictures
Resizing - Drag the resize handles at the four corners of the object to resize your picture
Cropping - Drag the side handle inward to crop your picture.
Rotating - Click on the Position button on the photo tools menu on the right of Photobook Designer. Toggle the picture according to your desired angle.
Predefined layouts - Make layouts easier! Select the layout of your choice and simply drag and drop them to shape the entire page with your images.
5. Edit pictures
Give your photos a special touch. For a unique look, consider adding Black & White or Sepia filters. Feel free to explore the image enhancements such as Contrast, Sharpen, Skin Tone, and Noise Reduction to showcase new results from your original images!
6. Change page styles, masks, backgrounds
You may want to start designing each page with "Page Styles". Just drag and drop your preferred layout to the page. You can adjust and modify the page layout according to your preferred picture sizes. These page styles make creating your book easy and fun!
You can add a mask to a picture box or shape simply by dragging it from the library onto the picture. A mask will always scale to fit the box exactly.
You can also use either your pictures as backgrounds, or the various pre-loaded background designs from the "Backgrounds" tray in the library.
7. Insert text/captions
Adding text or captions to your book adds a special detail to your story. Photobook Designer automatically loads all font types available in your hard disk. You can choose the desired font sizes and colours.
Note: Before the next step, ensure that all empty pages are filled or deleted. Remember, no changes can be made once your book has been uploaded.
8. Change Book Size
If you happen to change your mind on the product size, or had made a mistake selecting the wrong size, simply change it using the "Change Product" icon. Select the respective book type, click "Change".
Note: Only applicable for certain book types/sizes.
9. Order
