What kind of photo or graphic images I can upload and use in my book? Will photos on both sides of a page create any problem?
Do I need a blank on the back of a photo page? There is no restriction on putting photos on both sides of a page. Our books are printed with technology adopted by major publishers for quality photo book or commercial paperbacks. So the quality of the page would be similar to books at bookstores. For black and white books, we do advise not to put dark images on both sides of the page since it may show through on the other side of the page.
How to delete photos in my book? Under Book Library, you will find the function there to delete photos you don't need from your books. Alternatively, you can delete individual photos within each book by editing the book and remove photos within the book builder.
The red explanation mark means an alert. If you move the mouse over to the mark, you will see the explanation what it means. If it is an image or photo, it means the resolution of the picture is not the best for print quality. You may want to upload an image with higher resolution or shrink the image box size so that the picture will have good quality in print.
If it is a text box, it means the box is too small to fit all the text within the box. How can I add pages to my book? You have the following options to add pages within our book builder: 1. A blank page will be added to your book right after the current page you are on. Duplicate Page - Go to a page you like to copy, then use "Duplicate" under Page Tool to add a copy of the current page and add to your book.
