Great work! Thank you for sharing this tutorial!🙏

Cool. So beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.

I love the idea of this but I don't think I'd ever actually do it- both laziness and the tendency for my work to look like a 5 year old created it 😀 . but I am tempted! I loved watching the process and the end result is so impressive!

That's amazing! Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful! Amazing tutorial thank you

Thank you for sharing

I love this but as someone who works in book conservation: if you want your books to last, don't use tape for the book cloth. If you check the grain direction of the book board and you use a press as it dries (putting it under a pile of heavy books counts as a press!), PVA glue isn't going to warp the book. Tape is acidic and it can and will damage elements of your book.

Good morning sir i'm very grateful for the content.

very nice 😊

this looks better than any photo book printing site I've looked at

dats cool

Bravo

Wow

Thank you

It’s super important to make sure the grain is running the correct direction so you don’t get warp

This is very nice and comprehensive. Thanks for sharing. 👍👏

Hi Stefan, thank you so much for sharing this, your book looks absolutely brilliant! I am wondering if you have any resources you could please share on how to prepare the pages for printing the signatures when a double spread is involved? I have ordered bookbinding materials to start making my own photo books but I am really struggling to prepare the signatures because my book has a few photographs that spread over two pages. I designed it in facing pages in Affinity and when I try to export single pages it all gets messed up and I cannot figure out how to fix it, which has put a major stall to the process 😞Any tips or resources you could share would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

hi! very nice and informative. you are really grate.!! Marry Christmas in advance.

Wow! Excellent Video. Great, Excellent work. You have convinced me never to DIY a photo book. I will send my photobook out to print. I would get it all wrong if I did it myself.

On my book il put little poems under photos poems that il write. It's a very emotional thing my photo book....its all that is saved from a almost past life

Hi, Wonderful jobs. I am pretty new learning? Do you know of any Free Photo Editor Software I can use please? Thanks a lot!!

Hey! Thank you so so much for all these epic tutorials! I have already made the seamless lay-flat book for an assignment for my Uni and it came out amazing! I would love to try and make this book as well, and was wondering how did you print the design on the linen cover? is it a paper you can iron into the cloth? It looks so beautiful! thank you so so much again!

@PhotoBookGuru

the physical "making" took less than a day but designing it can take much longer. I do a little every day.

This is really great but can you answer one question pls? What happens with the 'other half page' of the transparency sheet? Presumably left blank (unless it just so happens that you need another map on the opposite side? Does a blank sheet not disrupt the appearance?

Hi what kind of paper are you using? And where can i buy that kind of paper? Hope you'll notice may questions. Thank you.

Great Work! I'd like to perform same. Are you using Original Epson Ink or Refillable?

I just ran across your video! I really wanted to create a photobook for my family reunion but I find that using different websites doesn't give me as much design freedom as I would like, plus it can get pretty expensive. I started looking into creating my own and seriously this video is the best I've seen! Can I ask where you got your materials for this project? And what would you recommend if you want to do a gloss book cover instead of using book linen? Also how did you know how much space to leave between the front and back cover and the spine?

@PhotoBookGuru

2 жыл бұрын

You need to research and test materials, the same papers that worked in my printers might not be the best for yours so it's hard to tell. For a gloss book cover you need a lamination and double sided tape, it won't work with PVA glue. You need to measure the book inner pages when it's printed before creating the cover

I know the video is two years old at this point but I am really struggling to find other videos that could explain how to do what I'm attempting to do. I want to do something very similar to this but instead of the pages being the photos themselves, I want to be able to add photos to it over time. This video is extremely helpful though, I think i just need to do roughly the same thing, but leave the pages blank and add in those clear corner photo holders. Aaaaa I don't know what I'm doing!

what type of printer are you using? Thank

How did you set up affinity publisher/printer to print your pages so you could make 3 page signatures. Cannot figure it out. Love your videos

Inkjet printer. A3. the more colours the better but even basic 4 colour inkjets will do a great job with the right setting and right paper

Cool video what was the cost off all this by anychance I just wanna know so when I'm ready to try this.. just a ruff estimate

It depends on whether you have any tools, printer. If I only count the consumables, paper and ink, then around £80.

What kind of paper did you used?

This is amazing! What a beautiful book! Really want to try this but you lost me with the stitching signatures part. It’s really Confusing.

It is a lot of trial and error and it's impossible to slowly show the whole process in one video but there are lots of other vids on youtube for stitching.

I have the exact same color problem with an Epson XP-960, printer: designed exclusively for Epson paper (there is a generic profile only for standard paper 80gr... And even with the archival Mat from Epson : colors are not good (2 screens with monthly calibration...)). If I try to print on photo paper from another brand (even Canon): the results are delusional! I never had this problem with my old Canon........ Shame on Epson ! One way to resolve the colors problem is making curves in photoshop as you mentioned (but really complicated to change skin tones !), but... some others too : -- purchase of a probe (eg: i1 Studio): you can also make a profile by paper you have (one for the archival mat, one for the usual 80gr, one for the glossy paper..etc), but this requires having a perfectly calibrated screen ! (which is very expensive !). -- there are service providers who calibrate printers (you need to deactivate the printer paper profiles, print a target on the desired paper(s) and send it to the provider. He will send you back you ICC profiles fort the paper... Interesting economically if you use official cartridges (regular on the color) and the same papers! -- PermaJet proposes a service (free I think) to calibrate your printer with their papers. The range of paper is gigantic! And to pop colors, the coated paper is a good alternative (colors will be more saturated. Some papers are Recto/verso, other only on one side). Hope this tips can help you for... the next photo book ^^

I would like to know where I can get a few things that you used making your photobook. Like the tiny theared ends you glued on when you had finished sawing and glueing. How do you call these? Could you make a list in all that you used?

@PhotoBookGuru

3 жыл бұрын

You can buy all of those in bookbinding shops or online. Don't use Amazon, they barely have anything. The tiny things at the ends are called headbands. the mesh on the spine is called mull here (I think it's different in the US) and the owl is the tool to punch holes. The rest of the tools are generic, rulers, knife etc
