Photos should be scanned at 300 dpi unless
you require a larger printed size, in which case a higher dpi should be used. For
instance, if you scan a 6x4 photo and you wish to have it printed as an 8x10, then
a resolution of around 600 should be used. Layouts should be saved as 300 dpi and
created in the size you wish to print.

Ordering
After creating your photobook using
Photobook Designer
you will generate an album file that needs to be sent to My Reflections for printing.
If you have broadband you can do this online, (you can do it with a dialup connection,
however the files generated by Designer are typically over 20 megabytes and this
would take a long time), or alternatively you can put the file on CD and send that
to us. Payment can be made online or via direct payment.
Once we have recieved your file and payment we will print, bind and courier your
book back to you using express post.
