Shutterfly ?

[connieg]

I'm working on a 8x8 book, when I save my pages as Jpeg I save them as a 7.95 x 7.95 page (SF Specs). I know about the gutters and all, but just wondering; I have used Lynn G's worn page edges and have placed them on the edge of the paper and have also used inked edges, should I be holding them back a quarter or are they safe being I resized?

Sorry, not sure Connie. Hopefully someone will know.

Hi Connie,
You will most likely lose the worn & inked edges due to trim. When using worn and inked edges in a photobook it's best to inset the worn edges 1/2" or so like in this page by Paula.
HTH!

That is a great idea!

Thanks for the info, I would have been disappointed had I not ask.

Great tip!

You can also download page, cover and spine templates fromShutterfly and this shows the exact trimming lines.

When I'm getting a page saved shutterfly ready I always move it to the page template and check, just to be sure.

Yes, you would lose them even with the resizing. I keep mine in 1/4 inch. I have used stitching before at 3/8" from the edge and it is trimmed. It's always safe to keep any detail 1/4" in on all sides. I find I do a lot of BG paper with the worn/grungy edges on a paper on top, and the BG paper is what I allow to be trimmed. Trim is not a perfect science, either, there's usually a percentage either way they say they can go, and can't predict. It's a personal choice, but I'm always thinking better safe than sorry! Sometimes the preview shows everything okay, and then the trim is farther in than the preview showed.
