Which photobook

[meanmom121]

I don't know which one to use shutterfly, Disney, Blurb
Any thought out there on which one is easy to use, has great photos, nice cover. i like the Disney theming which come with Disney's book but doesn't appear there are a lot of backgrounds to choose from and higher priced than other books.
Someone guide me -- please

I use Shuttefly and have had positive results. They do come in a variety of sizes and the pricing isn't too bad.

I just made a Disney photobook from the photopass website. It was expensive, yes, but I am so pleased with how it came out! It was money well spent.
There may not seem like many backgrounds, but when you play around with the number of photos on each page, you end up with alot more choices. For example, if you only use one picture, there will be 3 page choices for a solo shot, and so on for up to 4 photos per page. So that's 12 choices per background style (fab 5, classic characters, fun in the sun, princess, vintage disney and elegant). If you use all the different styles, you could potentially have access to 72 different page layouts (Don't quote me, I'm just guestimating here!) I ended up using all of the different styles according to what seemed to match with the photos I was using. I ended up with a great variety of pages.
I didn't shop around for photobooks - I wanted to include some of our photopass pictures and I liked that they also gave you access to some nice professional shots.
Hope that helps!

I think Picaboo is the best for Disney photobooks. The quality is awesome and they have so many Disney backgrounds or you can make your own background. Here is a link to a review I wrote on Picaboo: http://sheneedstoknow.com/shopgirl/2008/10/23/the-best-photo-book-especially-for-disney-photos/

Thanks for all the info guys. I have downloaded a few programs to play with and must say that I'm in love with the 16,000 backgrounds, the ease of use, and the vast array of photo layouts that picaboo has to offer. They have gorgeous Disney backgrounds and I've just been loading some family pic on the disney backgrounds with different page layouts and they are awesome. I think I'm gonna have to go with Picaboo for the price and quality.

I love CM's photobooks (Creative Memories). I've made three - one for my Grandfather's 90th birthday party, one for my brother's wedding, and one of our Disney trip from last summer. You can download a free version of their software, but the one that costs about $60 is so easy to use. They have some Disney downloads you can purchase, but there are some free ones out there on the web too. I have messed around with Shutterfly and Snapfish and they are a pain. The best thing I love about CM's is that you don't have to be tied to the web/be online to work on them. I got so frustrated with the slow going of snapfish I gave up.
