I am going to leave aside any discussion on what’s more advantageous – being able to work offline and not depend on the stability of your internet connection, or being able to work on your project from any computer connected to the internet.

Here, it is important to note that Adoramapix is a Flash-based online application and not a piece of software that you install on your PC. Verdict: Adoramapix handily beats all three of the competitors.

Or, you can easily create borders around them, if you prefer. There are also 21 types of frames that you can add to your pictures. Maybe, I just did not play with it enough. Somewhat unintuitively, I could not find the stickers already present in my selected pre-configured theme within the sticker library, which means two things: a) you actually have more than 2105 stickers to work with when you start out with one of the themes, because the stickers already present in the book can be easily copied over from one page to another, but b) you seemingly cannot access theme-specific stickers across different themes. Because each object can be resized to cover the entire page, they could substitute for backgrounds as well, although I see little point in that. They provide plenty of opportunities to add ornamentation and flair to your photo-book. In addition, you can select among 2105 stickers to put anywhere on your pages. Then, you have 562 other backgrounds to choose from and apply to any of the pages in your book. Selecting a theme will start you off with a professional-looking – and often fun – background. While other contenders all allow photos to be placed on the covers, I don’t believe any of them treats the cover as a space to play with. If you habitually work in 10-12-megapixel range, you will never run into a size problem, to say nothing of the RAW format.Īdoramapix treats the front and back cover as just another spread, to be manipulated in the same way as any other pages in your book. All you need is to make sure that the resolution is large enough to support printing of such photo. Which you never really need, because the photo can be dragged and dropped onto the page directly.įurthermore, Adoramapix works in two-page spreads and binds the books in a way that allows you to place a single panoramic shot to span two pages.

In fact, you do have a “Layout” set on the components frame, but it simply contains placeholders for various sizes of photos. You can execute as much control over the actual layout of each page as you desire. In other words, the concept of layout does not truly exist in Adoramapix as it exists in other applications. You can arrange pictures in neat rows or have them artistically “strewn around” overlapping each other.īecause objects reside on the book pages in individual layers, you can bring them forward or push them back for your most preferable structure. You can put as many pictures on a single page as you want. On any given page, you can rearrange items. But even if you select one of the themes, you are not locked into anything. Or you can select a “blank-page” starting point. Page layoutsĪdoramapix has 34 pre-configured themes, which allow you to pre-build your book with backgrounds and photo placeholders.

Update : I now played around with Picaboo X product and posted a new comparison review.ĭetails of this new review will more or less follow my earlier-adopted review format. If they since released new features that would temper my conclusions presented herein, I appreciate anyone pointing them out. Almost all comparisons are based on the versions of MyPublisher, Picaboo and Blurb that I reviewed in this article. I only took a cursory look at their websites to check for some key current information. Important note: While I was very intrigued with test-driving a service that I’ve never used before, I did not extend myself to the point of reviewing current versions of the other services. I played around with the Adoramapix photo-book builder, created a neat highlights album of our European travels, and in the process got myself a new favorite for future photo-book-making.

And then, several weeks ago, a representative from Adoramapix reached out to me with an offer that I could not pass up: A free book in exchange for the review of their service and product. Since then, I did not have much time to engage in projects that would either involve any of the aforementioned services or bring me in contact with something new. It has been almost a year and a half since I performed my review of three photo-book services (MyPublisher, Picaboo and Blurb).
