As you know Shutterfly offers many options for printing photobooks from photos stored online. I have tried doing this online with their system but found it very frustrating because of my slow internet connection and their system. The idea came to me to use DiGi Album to create the pages in the photo book by exporting the Digi Album to Html pages and using the page images as the photos - one per page in Sutterfly but many per page in Digi Album. Shutterfly gives recommended resolutions for their photobooks depending on the page size. However, when I use their recommended page sizes, 5" by 7", 7" by 9", 8" by 8", 8" by 11", and 12" by 12". I am sure other photo printing sites may offer other options but I would appreciate it if you could recommend Digi Album page configuration options that would produce index page images that would print well on Shutterfly. My attempts have resulted errors from the Shutterfly system that said that the resolutions I used would result in poor quality prints.

Would appreciate help on this subject. I love Digi Album and find it easy to use and full of many useful features.

I attempted to edit my first post to add the following info but the website would not allow me to edit although I was logged in with my user name and password.

Shutterfly's resolution recommendations are as follows:

"Image Resolution | Maximum print size
less than 640 x 480 | Only wallet-size prints recommended
640 x 480 | Absolute minimum resolution for 4x6(results will vary)
1024 x 768 | Minimum recommended resolution for 4x6
1152 x 864 | Minimum recommended resolution for 5x7
1600 x 1200 | Minimum recommended resolution for 8x10 or larger

For large-format prints (11x14, 16x20, and 20x30), our recommendations are similar to those for an 8x10, although you may wish to help ensure the best possible print by using an image that is 3 megapixels or larger."


I was attempting to add images to a 5 by 7 photobook and was using index pages from Digi Album with a resolution of 1500 by 1200.

Hi George

If you have confirmed that the image you are using is larger than the minimum dimensions specified by Shutterly, then you really should contact their support team to determine their reasons for rejecting your image.
