In brief
Turning vacation photos into a photobook gives them new purpose. The author stopped letting vacation photos collect digital dust by creating a photobook from them instead. Originally reported by Digital Camera World.
Why vacation photos collect digital dust
The author took photos during a summer holiday in Valencia, Spain, where they played international chess and drank sangria.
Selecting photos for a photobook
The biggest issue is choosing which photos to use from hundreds taken, ignoring duplicates and out-of-focus images.
Creating a photobook theme
The author decided to create a record of adventures with the option to make a 'Streets of Valencia' zine later.
Editing photos for quality
The author corrected harsh shadows, leaning verticals, and ice cream drips before saving images as JPEGs at 90% quality.
Choosing a photobook service
The author selected CEWE to create a photobook, starting with a softcover or hardback option and paper quality.
Designing the photobook
The author picked a Wanderlust template for the photobook, avoiding fancy masks that cost extra.
Adding photos and text
The author dragged and dropped cover images, added title text, and navigated to specific folders for photos.
Finalizing the photobook
The author checked the design, tweaked as needed, and ordered the photobook from CEWE.
The one thing
The author stopped letting vacation photos collect digital dust by creating a photobook from them instead.
