Blurbing
I will call the art of make your pictures into book Blurbing. Now I am talking about the photo book and self-publishing service Blurb. The service is the first I have used to print my pictures into a book format. There are a lot of other services that allow you make photo books as well. I came across the service when I installed Lightroom 4 and Adobe introduced the Book module.
Since I manage my photography with the app, it made sense to step out of my comfort zone and do something wonderful with some of my pictures and the new functionality built into the app and that is what I did.
The module is actually quite each to use, all it takes is for you to choose the pictures of interest and make sure they are selected when you get to the module and choose from the multiple page set-up to make the book of your dreams.
Now the Blurb service is not limited to Lightroom in any way rather the service offers you a number of ways to upload your pictures and arrange them your own way. Once your book has been arranged the way you want it, you just upload it to your account on their website and it awaits your next instruction. As soon as you have made your payment, they will let you know how long it will take to produce your book and from my experience, you may even get it earlier than the time they give but I guess it makes sense to plan according to their information.
The only limitation to using the service is your imagination (assuming that you are okay with their price structure).
It is really a good way of making your pictures into books and preserving the memory recorded therein.
Now as a disclaimer, I have not been paid or commissioned in anyway to write for Blurb. I am just expressing my opinion about a fair service that I have used and enjoy.
