I need some help and/or advice on how to go about producing a color photography book myself(ie doing the photoshop rocessing and graphic design, but not the printing of course!). Want something maybe 40-60 pages of mostly pictures and some text.
This is really just something that I want to do for my parents who are selling their farm and I wanted to make a coffee table book with photos and text from all their time on the farm, so I would only get a couple printed.
I really would like to try and do the processing and graphic design stuff myself, but I am not sure what software i should use, what format i need things in and how to design up the whole book.
-- Tips for processing images in Photoshop to be in the best format (ie resolution and color properties that might need to be optimized etc)
-- Suggestions on software to use to design up the whole book.....do i do this page by page in photoshop? is there software that i should be using to do something like this?
any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I am an amature photographer, but i do have a lot of nice photos, but they are all JPEGS taken at about 3mp.
