This scrapbook program is not the disc that Adrianne was talking about. This is an actual computer program that I picked up at Staples. I had my eye on it for several different months and finally caved in and bought it (for much more than $20.00, Gillian). Jim committed to purchasing a color printer so we can print them off ourselves. Maybe if we copied them off on a disc and took them somewhere to be printed they would come out clearer. I haven't looked at the instructions yet, but, obviously, the photos are too blurry and aren't of the same quality as if you were hand doing this. But I really like all the options you have -- and, yes, it's a whole lot cheaper!! Gillian gets these pages made up quickly -- another plus for this kind of large project. Hopefully she will help us do this to many of the photos we are starting to work on.
Most (like 95%) of the digital photos she got from the blog would be of fine enough quality to print clear on any color printer. I'm wondering if in the export process where she turns the whole page into a jpeg does some obvious compression and that makes things blurry. I'd check to see if she can print the pages without having to export the whole page to a separate jpeg. Or, I'd check to see if in the export process there's an option that allows you to manage the compression rate.
Ok, like that was Greek to me. You might need to come down one fine day and show us what you are talking about. The actual page prints off pretty well, but the photos are still unclear. We could use your help. I think she just transfers the photos too many times and they get blurry in the process. Anyway, give her a call and have her try some different things. She's smarter than I am about things like this.
Here are some more of my pages. If you want, you can send me some pictures and I will make some pages for ya.
