The company's site has a lot of easy-to-find information, but there is a toll-free phone number as well as an e-mail address for support. One of the best parts of using MyPublisher is the support behind the product.

However, some fonts might not work well in the final product, in which case the software will switch your selection to Arial. All of the fonts on your computer are available for use when adding text. The software isn't feature-packed, but it has everything you'll likely need, including basic editing tools that can be used both before and after you've placed an image in the book layout. This last one is only an issue if you don't know where the photos are that you want to use. Lastly, while adding the photos you want to use is easy, it relies on you knowing where your photos are stored there is no organizer element to the software. Simply moving one above the project window would improve things.Īlso, there are option menus that pop open when you click on them, but once you select something, they don't automatically collapse again and instead stay open on top of your project. Having them on top of one another makes for a busy-looking and possibly confusing interface. For example, the main screen for assembling a book has two toolbars that sit below the project window: one with tools and editing options and one for moving you back and forth through the creation process. The interface looks nice and is reasonably clean, but it could use some tweaking. Compared with other services, the overall design and size options are fewer, but it makes for a streamlined process of building and buying a book instead of getting bogged down in too many selections. Books are the main attraction, but you can also create calendars, cards, and book jackets. Start it up and you're presented with your project options. MyPublisher 4 is a stable, standalone application that is only 11MB, making it fast to download, and it takes no effort to install. Most recently, though, I've been using MyPublisher. I've used Kodak Gallery, HP's Snapfish, and Apple's iPhoto to build and publish them with good results. In comparison, my wedding album is a MyPublisher deluxe hardcover album, and a hefty 11 x 15 with a glossy book jacket.Since I've amassed digital photos over the years, I've found it more pleasing to turn them into photo books instead of individual prints (plus, they make great gifts when you're running low on time). As much I as love this pretty grey color, I can tell it will get dirty relatively easily. If I were to order another album, I would go with the black cloth cover. Below you can see it stacked on top of my wedding album, which I designed and printed through MyPublisher.

I chose the largest album option they had - the Newport Giant - which is a generous 11 x 14.

Here is the finished album I received along with a few of the layouts for your viewing pleasure: Unfortunately I do not fall into that category…)

PROS: - The high quality look and feel of the album cover is available in a variety of colors - Super thick, archival quality pages, and good print quality - Expandable up to 100 pages (50 double-sided) - Affordable, although certainly not cheap by any means (and I couldn’t find any online coupons) - No need to download or install any software - Good customer service (I called twice with questions, and they were helpful both times)ĬONS: - The upload and design software on their website is poorly designed and elementary, and there were no real instructions so my first attempts were annoying - Not nearly enough layout options at all! (Not a problem if you are Photoshop/Illustrator savvy and can design your own layouts and upload as a full page image. Through the KOLO site, you can also order the photo printed pages only… perfecto!

As I perused the KOLO website, I noticed that they offered Digital Photo books! After some consideration, I decided that this was the best option for me because the style of it is classic and beautiful, and most importantly, the album is expandable up to 50 double-sided pages so that I can continue to expand my portfolio as my business grows.

I was looking for a portfolio album to bring with me to new client appointments and I considered the usual suspects: Mypublisher, Blurb, MPix, etc., as well as the option of inserting 4 x 6 photos into a traditional KOLO album.
