Artscow Photobook design help

[Amanda2032]

Hello all!
I need help with this! I am trying to make autograph books using Artscow and whenever I put in the wonderful cover designs that were created for me by RustManFan and MusicMouse it is cutting about an inch off around the edge of the design--cutting off part of the wording and the picture. I tried to just put a solid color background for the bleed area, but for some reason, I cannot get the background to stay on there when I add the jpeg of the cover. Does anyone have experience with this and advice for me? I am trying to save money by using Artscow--but it is way more complicated that photobook designers I have used in the past. Does anyone know of something that is better and equally as inexpensive???

You can't add a background behind your jpeg, but you should be able to alter the size of the image within Artscow. There is a "zoom in" and "zoom out" feature that allows you adjust the size of the image that you want to use. I hope this helps!
