Quality Photo Books

Quality Photo Books is powered by the online s haring site called DropShots. This affiliation provides you with a very robust way to share your photos.

To create your photo books, you download some software onto your computer and you create the book work on your computer and then upload t he whole book to the Quality Photo Books website. Many people like to do this because you do not need to be connected to the Internet to work on your book. The program takes up 7.04 MB on your hard drive.

Another fun thing about this publisher is that you can add a picture box to any layout except the layout that is the full page bleed layout (one picture covers the whole page). This gives you a lot of versatility to change things around. You can even put a frame around any photo.
