Publishing a Photo Book with Lulu’s New Studio Wizard

Lulu has made some good improvements with the latest upgrade, especially for digital scrapbooking fans. I had at least fifty photos to upload, which took about an hour with a DSL connection. The earlier version took about two hours, had a general clunky feel, and mediocre templates. Although the new templates have a snazzier look, I still felt limited by the page layouts.

I’d like to be able to move the photo “place holders” around to create my own unique look and style on each page. Also, I would have liked to have had the option of creating my own templates. Perhaps these features will be available in the next upgrade.

I wasn’t happy with the first photo book I made (using the old software) because the top pictures were placed too close to the edge of the page. I’m hoping they have improved on this as well. Proof will be in the final copy.
