Photo Books and Collages

The Photo Layout feature first appeared in Elements 5.0 but owes much of its heritage to the album page creation wizards of previous versions of the program. In recent releases of Elements the feature has been totally revamped and now is broken into two main categories – Photo Books and Photo Collages. The Photo Book option is designed to help create professional quality photo albums and scrapbooks containing up to 80 pages. The Photo Collage option provides all the template, styles, power and finesse of the Photo Book workspace with single page documents.

In this chapter we will concentrate on the various steps involved in creating, styling, editing and printing Photo Books and Collages.
