Photo Book Software Feature Sets

The assignment is to compare the different photo book software features that are offered by the different photo book printers. The goal is to rate each printer in an unbiased manner as possible.
The features being rated are:

Background Themes
Each publisher will be scored on the different number and variety of background themes available. A total of 3 points is available for the site with the most backgrounds available.

Layout Variety
Each publisher will be scored on the variety of layouts offered. The highest score available for this section will be 3 points.

Utilize any JPG as a Background
The ability to utilize any JPG as a background gives you a lot of flexibility when making photo books. A score of 1 point will be given if you can do this in at least 1 background, and 0 points if this cannot be done in any layout.

Digi-Scrapbooking Friendly
This goes beyond having the usual sizes of books that digi-scrapbookers want. It means that you have options to upload pages created in an outside software program (such as PhotoShop). 1 point given if this is available, 0 if it isn't.

In-book Editing
Can the pictures be edited once you have placed them on the pages of the book? 1 point if you can, 0 if not.

Text - Variety and Full-Page
The ability to utilize text is important in some books. Can you change the font? Offer a full page of text? 2 points for the most variety and options.

Embellishments and Corners
Can you add embellishments and corners to your pictures? 1 point for being able to do so.

Full Page Bleed
1 point is given for being able to have full page bleed (picture can "run off" the edges).

Total # of Points
A "perfect" score is 13 points.
