Photo Book Tips: Sizing an LO So It Fits Perfectly

I am frequently awed by the magnificent works of art that people are able to turn out through digital or traditional scrapbooking. I mean, I can barely draw a rectangle using a software application or put a stamp on an envelope without it being crooked or upside down. So I can pretty much forget about creating a beautiful scrapbook page. I am, of course, envious of the people who are artistic and use Inkubook to collect their LOs.

This is a gorgeous layout, but some of the text on the
right page gets a little lost in the gutter.

Making a photo book of scrapbook layouts is one of the most popular uses of Inkubook, so even though I’m jealous I can put my envy aside in the interest of helping to bring more beauty into the world.

It’s not uncommon for someone who’s working on a layout book to ask our support department the following question: “How do I need to size my layout so that it fills the full page?” Consequently, we’ve prepared a PDF that will hopefully fill in some of the blanks. This PDF addresses such things as

• What is the size of the page before it’s trimmed?
• How much of the page is trimmed off?
• If I have text on my page, how do I avoid having it run into the gutter?

I could go into all of those details here, but the PDF describes it much more concisely than I ever would, and it includes four very nice diagrams that show all the trim lines. It’ll be better if you just check it out.

If you’re still having difficulty knowing how to size your image after looking at the PDF, our support team is standing by to answer additional questions. You can access our live chat support service through our Support page, or you can email support@inkubook.com.
