Default Shutterfly Book help?

I've never actually printed a book at Shutterfly before, but I'd like to do one now! I've been working on the AAM challenges and I'm super excited. I want to upload the pages I've done already. I'd like my book to be 8x8. I scrap 12x12. I was able to download the templates from Shutterfly for the pages. I'm just not sure what to do next. Can someone walk me through it?

Thanks

i'm sure someone who knows *for sure* will come by, but i am pretty sure that you don't have to do anything - upload your 12x12 files, and choose an 8x8 sized book, and shutterfly does the rest. easy peasy!

Tara, you could just run Katie's Shutterfly action over them, found here , if you are using software that supports actions ie. PS. But if you can't run them, basically you just need to go and change your image size to 7.95 inches x 7.95 inches, then save as a jpeg (not over your original). You dont have to resize, but I think it helps so that you dont lose too much of the edges of your page.

Tara, I just upload the jpgs as 12 by 12 images and then select 8x8 book.
I keep everything 1/4 inch away from the edge to avoid things getting cut off during the printing process.
Here is a link to a thread where the process after uploading is explained.

Have fun. Link us up when you are done!
