I recently saw an advertisement from a company called Saal Digital, offering a free photo book in return for a review of the product.
I was a little sceptical at first having received free photo books in the past from a different company I found their quality to be very inferior. However putting my scepticism to one side I contacted the company and was accepted to review one of their products.
I received a voucher for £40 to spend on their website and create my own photo book.My choice was an A4, leather bound book with my images spreading across two pages.
I received my photo book within a week of ordering and was very pleasantly surprised with the overall quality.
The leather binding I chose gives the book a very professional look and the quality of printing is outstanding, making my images burst out from the pages within.
I found this image (above) to be a little darker than I thought but this was due to my editing.
I found the software fairly easy to use but feel it could be a little daunting for those not familiar with this kind of software, the choices of style for my book were minimal and I would have liked to have been given perhaps a few more interior design choices.
It didn't take long to download and install the software required to create the book and I found the hardest part was actually choosing which photographs I wanted to include in the pages.
The overall print quality is outstanding and although I found one of my images to be a little dark this was down to my own editing and not the printing itself so I would recommend checking your images are edited correctly before submitting them.
I was pleasantly surprised with Saal Digital and their photograph books, as soon as I opened the package and held the book in my hands, fantastic product and very easy to create.
You too can create your own book from your personal images at a very reasonable price, the book I chose should have cost £34 plus £4.50 p&p which itself is a very reasonable cost for a 26-page leather bound photo book.
There were plenty of other price options too.
