Xpost - Photobooks- Need your links

Hey ladies. someone posted earlier their beautiful honeymoon pictures on something called picaboo

I love it. I wanted to ask who else knows of nice layout & printing service like that.
(I know some brides have totally rocked with making their own stuff, saw Peteysbride's book & it was gorgeous!!!!)

So far I have
http://www.picaboo.com/
http://www.shutterfly.com/
http://www.lulu.com/

So anyone used these or others, experiences with them? Best priced etc?

Um I think you have the major ones:

-Picaboo (my fave for best layout and background options, AMAZING customer service and nice covers. Price is higher than some but you get so much more for your money. Our original wedding album wa susing mostly their templates.)
-Snapfish (GREAT quality-pages are so thick and glossy- and BEST gurantee-110%- but the share feature online is a pain. Price ok. Big books can be as pricey as shutterfly but they gurantee perfection and your satisfaction or money back or reprint PLUS 10% off next order.)
-Blurb (GREAT quality and easy to use-cheap too if you wnat many pages. They charge in price ranges depending on the number of pages)
-Shtterfly (used this for a bride. Didnt love the layouts and if I was going to pay this much I'd use snapfish.)
-Qualityphotobooks (Good quality. Easy interface. Well priced)
-Kodak (never used)
-MyPublisher (personally not a fave because they dont have great layout options and CS was EH with me. Cue a PITA)

if anyone has places that you can upload your own layouts and just have a book made please post too. I have only found a few places but are unsure of the quality.

Thanks, glad you liked it!

You can do this with picaboo, sort of. You have to lay out your page (I guess in some kind of web publishing software) and save it as a .jpg. Select their full page picture template, and your .jpg will be the entire page, however it's laid out. Does that make sense?

If anyone can tell me what program lets you lay out a page with multiple pics and save it as a .jpg, that would be fabulous info!
