Tutorial: How to Create a Photobook Layout on your Desktop with PHOTOBOOK.PH

I am a fan of photobooks. Being a DIY traveler, a photography enthusiast, and a trying hard artist, I always wanted to look at my pictures in a tangible way. Printing each photo is not very handy plus it adds another dilemma - photo albums. Thus, I resort to printing them in a photobook.

Today, I would like to share with you how you can create your photobook as well using the Photobook.ph's desktop application. 

Before diving into the tutorial, please do check some of my photobook flip throughs here:

Now that you had watched those videos, let's get into how to make one on your end.

With the Photobook Designer desktop version, you can create photo books on your desktop or Mac.

1. Install the software on your Windows or Mac computer. To download the application, visit this link: 

   https://www.photobook.com.ph/tools/bookmaking-tools 
   

2. Make sure to set the country correctly and hit the download button
   

3. Install and launch the application

   

4. Click on the Create New Project button
   

5. Select Photobooks on the list of available products

   

6. Now select the option for hardcover and softcover
   

   

7. For this tutorial, we will select the 8x6 softcover photo book

   

8. Give the project a name and continue to create the project

   

9. Familiarize the software interface

   

   Top - photo book pages
   Left - add photos, either from the computer or social media sites
   Center - the photo book selected page preview where we can add photos and texts and other customization options
   Bottom - templates and other essentials to make the photo book making easier
   Right - texts, shapes, and other elements to add to the project pages
   

10. Add elements by drag and dropping them into the page
    

    

Always remember to save the project! The software is a little outdated as the site already has launched their online web application but still, you can use the desktop software which is pretty helpful if you have challenges with your internet connection.

Once done with the layout, you can proceed with ordering the photo book which requires an internet connection in order to pay and to upload the project!
