Creating a Photo Book with Adobe InDesign CS4

Markus Linke — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 08:46:23 +0000

I am trying to create a photo book using Adobe Indesign CS4. I will send the exported JPGs to Millers Lab, but have trouble to come up with a good photo book design. Are there any professional templates available?

Please note that I am not looking for a company to print the book. I have tried Blurb before and even though it was ok, I wasn’t perfectly happy with the results (prints were too dark). I am impressed with Millers Lab so far, so thats my print company of choice. I am really only looking for an InDesign Template. Unfortunately Google-searches so far only returned print companies.

Update: I finally found at least one provider at ScrapGirls. Please comment on this post if you know others.

wow … I ordered a couple of prints from Miller’s and some consumer printouts. Millers is in a completely different league.

[Photo Grabbr]

From their website: “I keep track of a lot of Flickr accounts and every so often, I come across a photoset that’s just so brilliant, I want to keep a local copy for myself. Unfortunately, it’s rather cumbersome to open each photo individually, save the size that I want, and then rename the file to match the title of the photo. Even more unfortunate is that as far as I could tell, there wasn’t anything for Mac OSX that would help simplify this job. So the only thing left to do was to write Photo Grabbr so that I could use it for myself. ”
