I love this but as someone who works in book conservation: if you want your books to last, don't use tape for the book cloth. If you check the grain direction of the book board and you use a press as it dries (putting it under a pile of heavy books counts as a press!), PVA glue isn't going to warp the book. Tape is acidic and it can and will damage elements of your book.

I love the idea of this but I don't think I'd ever actually do it- both laziness and the tendency for my work to look like a 5 year old created it 😀 . but I am tempted! I loved watching the process and the end result is so impressive!

Hi Stefan, thank you so much for sharing this, your book looks absolutely brilliant! I am wondering if you have any resources you could please share on how to prepare the pages for printing the signatures when a double spread is involved? I have ordered bookbinding materials to start making my own photo books but I am really struggling to prepare the signatures because my book has a few photographs that spread over two pages. I designed it in facing pages in Affinity and when I try to export single pages it all gets messed up and I cannot figure out how to fix it, which has put a major stall to the process 😞Any tips or resources you could share would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I just ran across your video! I really wanted to create a photobook for my family reunion but I find that using different websites doesn't give me as much design freedom as I would like, plus it can get pretty expensive. I started looking into creating my own and seriously this video is the best I've seen! Can I ask where you got your materials for this project? And what would you recommend if you want to do a gloss book cover instead of using book linen? Also how did you know how much space to leave between the front and back cover and the spine?
@PhotoBookGuru
@PhotoBookGuru 2 жыл бұрын
You need to research and test materials, the same papers that worked in my printers might not be the best for yours so it's hard to tell. For a gloss book cover you need a lamination and double sided tape, it won't work with PVA glue. You need to measure the book inner pages when it's printed before creating the cover

I know the video is two years old at this point but I am really struggling to find other videos that could explain how to do what I'm attempting to do. I want to do something very similar to this but instead of the pages being the photos themselves, I want to be able to add photos to it over time. This video is extremely helpful though, I think i just need to do roughly the same thing, but leave the pages blank and add in those clear corner photo holders. Aaaaa I don't know what I'm doing!

I have the exact same color problem with an Epson XP-960, printer: designed exclusively for Epson paper (there is a generic profile only for standard paper 80gr... And even with the archival Mat from Epson : colors are not good (2 screens with monthly calibration...)). If I try to print on photo paper from another brand (even Canon): the results are delusional! I never had this problem with my old Canon........ Shame on Epson ! One way to resolve the colors problem is making curves in photoshop as you mentioned (but really complicated to change skin tones !), but... some others too : -- purchase of a probe (eg: i1 Studio): you can also make a profile by paper you have (one for the archival mat, one for the usual 80gr, one for the glossy paper..etc), but this requires having a perfectly calibrated screen ! (which is very expensive !). -- there are service providers who calibrate printers (you need to deactivate the printer paper profiles, print a target on the desired paper(s) and send it to the provider. He will send you back you ICC profiles fort the paper... Interesting economically if you use official cartridges (regular on the color) and the same papers! -- PermaJet proposes a service (free I think) to calibrate your printer with their papers. The range of paper is gigantic! And to pop colors, the coated paper is a good alternative (colors will be more saturated. Some papers are Recto/verso, other only on one side). Hope this tips can help you for... the next photo book ^^

You can buy all of those in bookbinding shops or online. Don't use Amazon, they barely have anything. The tiny things at the ends are called headbands. the mesh on the spine is called mull here (I think it's different in the US) and the owl is the tool to punch holes. The rest of the tools are generic, rulers, knife etc
