I've searched the internet and the PhotoShop Elements site and can't find an answer. I'm looking for a ballpark figure on the cost to print a photobook through PSE's order function. I downloaded the trial software and created my book. I'm ready to have it printed but I think I must need to buy the full version software first because I get an error message when I click Order.

But before I order the software I'm trying to get an idea of how much a printed book will cost. Other sites will list a price estimate of like $60 for 20 pages and $2 for each additional page. I can't seem to find that info for PSE. Anybody know? Or know where I can look?

Thanks!

What size are you wanting to print and how many pages (sides)?

I looked at the PSE site and it looks like the books are printed through Kodak's site. Here is what Kodak's site has for pricing for the hardbound books:

Classic Photobook 10-1/4 x 9" from $29.99
Martha Stewart Classic Photobook 10-1/4 x 9" from $34.49
Legacy Photobook 14 x 12" from $69.99

These are the only sizes listed for the hardbound books.

I get my photobooks from Shutterfly and the 8x8 is 29.99 for 20 pages, extra pages cost additional. You can usually find coupons and % off if you hit the major digital scrapping sites, or sign up to get their emails, I get 25% off and $10 off coupons all the time in emails. I've even used both at the same time before!!

So now I'm confused. I have my photobook done in PSE. Can I have it printed through Shutterfly instead of Kodak through the PSE link? I've heard that the print quality is better in Shutterfly but it doesn't look like the Shutterfly site has all the photobook options that PSE offers and I really don't want to redo all the work I've already done.

Thanks!!

Yes, you will have to upload each image to shutterfly.
