Can you pls tell me the difference between simply dragging a picture from the picture panel onto a page which seems work fine and dragging it into a picture box. Is it so you can you make more adjustments in a picture box? Tk u.
Hi Chris, Thanks for your question. They are pretty much the same. The only thing with the picture box is its more if you want multiple pictures on the page if you insert a picture box first and size your picture box then when you drag the image straight into the picture box it will appear at the size of the box. If you drag the image straight onto the page you will then need to stretch it too size. Both very similar though and either way is fine
I have produced a 120 page photobook, but I need to just add 2 more pages. Is this at all possible ? It would be appreciated to make my book complete. Rose Ward
Hi Rose, Unfortunately not our max is 120 pages and the system will not allow you to add any more pages.
How do you make the picture fit the style you have selected
Hello Meredith,
You may add a picture box first then resize it to the size that you wanted before you drag the photo in.
That will make the photo be the same size as the picture box that you have adjusted.

Hi, Is there and automatic method of adding page numbers to a book and if so do they change automatically if pages are rearranged?
Hello Jane,
There is no automatic way to add pages on the designer and you will have to manually add them while creating the photobook.
Hi, Is there any way to copy and paste text from another source eg Word to a text box in the photo book?
Yes, you may do that by adding a textbox first before you copy and paste the text that you want to put on the product.
Thanks for that

Just drag them individually to the page of the book. The only thing is you can't change where they are stored on the computer until your book is published so best to drag them from a desktop folder made for that purpose.
Thank you

I have just started a photo book - first time user - loaded a few photos but can’t get back in to edit and add additional photos. I am working on line on a tablet.
Hi! I have always done it on a laptop and downloaded the software (and done it offline) where it has been super easy. I'm not sure if you can download the software onto a tablet? But it is much much easier...
Thank you. I will give it a try.
Hi Eila, As Heidi has mentioned it is much easier and faster to create a project using a desktop or laptop. Of course, can be done on a tablet but much slower. If you still require assistance feel free to contact me at chrisanthy@photobookshop.com.au and I can assist you further. We also have a live chat where our customer support team can guide you as you are creating your project.
