Picaboo

Picaboo is a bit unique because the photo book software resides on your computer. When you have created your photo book the whole book - pictures and all are uploaded to the Picaboo site at that time. This means that you can only work on your project from one computer. This is not a problem for most people, and even a benefit for some since you don't always need Internet access to work on the book. This software does take up 98.36MB on your hard drive, and you can download more themes and backgrounds which will take even more space.

The layouts provided are the most advanced and have the widest variety. Picaboo also has over 12,000 different backgrounds that you can use. This is a provider that a scrapbooker would love. Custom covers are available that have a photo on the front of the cover.

The Idea Center has a lot of tips and tricks to help you make an awesome photo book. If you are having trouble with putting your photo book together they have "Live Chat" on their site where you can get an immediate reply to your questions.
