![]() ![]() Clicking on a picture on a page brought up a simple editing screen. I was impressed as well with how easy it was to edit a photo (crop, center, or edit for color). All it took was a swipe of the hand and a click of a finger to see what different options would look like. I can’t stress enough how easy it was to change layouts, colors, and photos. I chose the Pictogram style because it seemed to go so well with my book’s Instagram theme.įor each page, I chose a background color and a photo layout style based on the number of pictures I wanted to add. I was impressed with the variety of photo book styles to chose from – from Bright and Bold to Bon Voyage to the Creative Type. I loved that photos “disappeared” from the available list once I had placed them on a page…one of the hardest things about creating a photo book is remembering which pictures I have and haven’t used already. The app gives you the option to auto-populate the book with your photos or manually add them one by one. I chose to populate my book with Instagram photos I clicked the Instagram icon in the app, signed into my Instagram account and simply clicked on all of the photos that I wanted to use in my book. I discovered that I could easily add photos from my iPad’s Photo Library, Shutterfly, Instagram, Facebook or my computer. And so I usually end up putting it off for other tasks that aren’t quite as burdensome.Ī little over a week ago, I sat down with my iPad, downloaded the Shutterfly Photo Story App (for free), and began playing with it. I take thousands of photos each year, and scanning through them to find the best of the bunch literally takes me hours….days. One of the main things that holds me back as I come to the conclusion of a year is the daunting task of gathering the “right” pictures to represent our year. It has been a little while since I faithfully created a yearly family scrapbook or digital photobook. I love the photos that I take with my dSLR, but my phone is always with me and my phone is the camera that ends up capturing more of my family’s day to day life. Flash forward another handful of years, and with Instagram, Facebook and a smart phone in everyone’s hand, I’m finding that another shift in photo sharing has happened. Instead of printing them off once a month, my pictures lived on my computer. As I took more and more of my pictures with a digital camera (and then started blogging), I found that I was sharing my pictures differently. ![]() This post on how to create a photo book via the Shutterfly Photo Story iPad app has been compensated, but all thoughts and opinions about the product and process are my own.īack in the day, I was an avid scrapbooker. ![]()
