Epson Computer Tip: StoryTeller -
Quick Digital Coffee Table Books |
| Now there’s a wonderful, yet quick
alternative to making your usual labor of love, an entire scrapbook
– StoryTeller kits. This is a fast, easy way to create a glossy
photo book with your computer. The all-inclusive kit contains everything
you need to transform digital photos into a beautiful, hard-bound
photo book that you print with a regular size printer and assemble
yourself at home! The kits come with glossy pages in either 5x7
or 8x10, and include a glossy book cover, and easy-to-use software
that lets you enhance and place up to 20 pages of photos. |
| It’s
easy to use: |
 |
| 1. |
Open a digital photo file. |
| 2. |
Click on and drag the photos you want
to use. |
| 3. |
Pick out the professionally-designed
page layouts you want to use for each page. You get 6 different
book styles with 10 pages each, for a total of 60 unique page layouts
and 18 cover selections. |
| 4. |
You can mix and match the page styles
if you like. You can choose to let the program do it automatically
too for an even faster book! |
| 5. |
If you make pages one at a time, lock each page
when you’re done. It will save the photos in this position
even if you change other pages.
|
| 6. |
When all your photos are placed and you’re
sure they’re where you want them, add all of your text last.
|
| 7. |
Here’s how you add text: click where you want
the text to go, and start to type. |
| 8. |
To finish, print the cover. You can add titles to
the front and back covers, as well as along the spine. |
| 9. |
The photos you placed throughout the book show up
automatically as sneak previews on the back cover. |
| 10. |
You can even print an inscription inside the front
and back cover flaps. |
| 11. |
Use a letter size printer to print the pages and
covers. |
| 12. |
Then cover it with the clear plastic transparent
sleeve for protection like the ones you see on library books when
you’re all done.
|
| 13. |
In no time at all, your coffee-table book is complete. |
| |
|
| To assemble the pages, no cutting, gluing
or cropping is needed. This unique design lets you bind your pages
into the hard-cover book in just seconds. You’ll end up with
a quality book that would do any bookshelf or coffee-table proud!
So get those photos out of your digital camera and enjoy them
printed in a book. It’s simple, and the results are so impressive,
you’ll want to make several as gifts for family and friends.
