Printique Review
AdoramaPix founded in 1998 and based in New York, NY is the online digital photo processing and storage division of Adorama Camera – a photo retailer who has been around for the last 30 years. AdoramaPix is relatively new to the photo book scene, having announced the addition of hardcover photobooks to its product lineup in the summer of 2009.
AdoramaPix’s book design tool, called PixPublisher is an online software program and is compatible with both PC and Mac. The software offers pre-made templates which appeals to those wanting to make a quick but high quality photo book, while professionals will be drawn to utilizing the software to fully customize their own layouts.
Unique Features/Tips
- The photobooks are printed on real photo paper
- The books lay flat and have no gutter so you won’t lose any of the image in the center of the book. A two-page spread consists of a single piece of photo paper folded in the middle.
- You can instantly create a two-page spread in the PixPublisher software with the “fit to spread†button
- You can create templates that you can reuse within the same project or other projects
- You can control the opacity/translucency of a photo which is nice if you want to use the photo as background to another
Books are offered in preset increments of 14, 26, 38, 50 and 76 pages (Square leather books can be 14 to 76 pages with no set increments.)Books can have flexible page counts from 10 pages minimum to 76 pages.
