7. Which color space and resolution should my pictures be?
We only accept RGB colour profiles. The minimum resolution of your pictures should be 300 dpi.
8. What is the recommended photo quality to use for a background image?
When used as a background, images are rendered transparent and give a washed-out effect to create better contrast. The resolution of a background image does not have to be as high as that of a full-colour image. We recommend that when using a background on a portrait photobook you should use at least a 3MP image. If it is for a double-page spread of the same size, you should use a 6MP image. The wedoo™ software editor will assist you in the specific requirements in each individual case.
9. What is the recommended photo quality to use for a cover image?
When inserting your own images for the cover page you have several options. If you choose to use a photo as a solitary image on the cover, the quality of that should be exceptional. For a portrait photobook cover, we recommend that you use at least a 6MP image. When inserting a photo into one of the pre-designed covers, that photo should be of similar quality as that of the other photos inside the photobook.
10. How do I choose layouts, backgrounds and photos?
The wedoo™ software works on the basic concept of ‘drag and drop’. Simply stand the cursor on the desired image on the screen and drag it onto the designated page of your wedoo™ Photobook. To change a layout, background or photo, simply ‘drag’ your latest choice and ‘drop’ it on top of the existing one.

This enables you to access your photos and incorporate them into the photobook.
11. How do I edit photos?

When selecting your page layout, you will notice that there are pre-selected locations for images as well as text. Choose a layout that suits your needs.

18. What function does the blue border perform?
The blue border de-limits the tolerance range for the wedoo™ production. This range is absolutely necessary in order to cope with production tolerances when cutting your book to size or covering with the dust jacket. Surfaces, backgrounds and images touching the border must be extended up to the top black line. Only this way may tolerances in the book production be evened out, failing which the cutter will remove a millimetre next to a black end-surface and an unwanted white "flash" will appear. It therefore follows that an image to be printed must be mounted to fit. Care shoulbe taken to ensure that important elements such as letters do not overflow into the blue area.
19. What are my options for the covers?
wedoo™ Photobook allow you to design and produce not only your very own photobook, but also its cover. You can choose from several options for the design of your cover page. You can personalise the photobook by inserting your your own image on the entire cover.

Alternatively you can choose to have a plain cover without a personalised image at all.
20. Can I change the photobook style or the page numbers?
