If you want to see the differences in-person, Blurb sells a swatch kit with all the paper types to give you confidence in the one you choose. Fortunately this doesn’t cause too much of a problem and so I guess this is why I haven’t tried to master this skill.Īnyway I hope that answers the question(s) – if it hasn’t then feel free to ask further questions.The type of paper can give your photos a certain look to them and be the difference between feeling cheap and bookstore quality. The one aspect that still defeats me is the way that text flow is handled – instead I find myself handling each paragraph as opposed to the whole text as one. It is a while since I moved over to bookwright so I have got used to its idiosyncratic style and workflows.

If this is what you want to do I would suggest using Adobe Acrobat Pro or whatever it is called now.

I know you can create a PDF to act as a proof which of course could be printed separately but I wouldn’t recommend it as they deliberately alter the quality of the images as well as place watermarks through the book. As for printing I just click on the upload button and work through the Blurb process.

#BOOKWRIGHT SOFTWARE SOFTWARE#

Bookwright is frustratingly one of the least intuitive pieces of software out there and it took me a awhile to work that one out. As for the cover problem all I did was go to the icon in the top left hand corner of the program called Covers and clicked on this and that seemed to work. I am not entirely sure what you are asking but I’ll have a stab and if I am wrong then please feel free to ask again. Thanks for this…if it is any consolation every week this is the most viewed blog on my site – so you are not alone. How long Blurb are going to pander to us is another matter – perhaps they might take the hint and make Bookwright much easier to use for all us dedicated users of their service – I don’t hold out too much hope!

However, if you are used to using Booksmart, and clearly I am not alone in this view, then it is a backward step. What is really worrying is that Blurb really does think that Bookwright is the way forward and I suspect that if you are coming at this a new it is. I am not alone in this as I found out when I searched Google.Īnyway to cut a very long a frustrating saga short I eventually found the download page for Booksmart through a Google search rather than on the Blurb website, installed it and was able to upload the yearbook which you can see by clicking on the link below. We encourage you to try out BookWright because it will meet the needs of most book-makers….” I am sure it is unless you have used Booksmart then it really isn’t.

According to Blurb “ …BookWright is built with the latest technology, it runs smoother and faster, and incorporates new features that are not available in BookSmart. “Oh”, I thought, “they’ve changed the logo.” Oh they’ve changed the logo alright and the software as well.

It wasn’t un til I was waiting for the software to install that I noticed the different logo. Instead of downloading the Booksmart software instead I downloaded the new Bookwright software instead. I logged onto the Blurb site and clicked on the download software button without giving it much thought. This is a pain but it was the last thing I could do (Blurb have still not answered my question to their support system so goodness only knows what they might have suggested if I had rung them). Eventually after trying everything else I decided to delete the software and reinstall. I use their Booksmart software to create the book but for reasons best known to itself the software just wouldn’t upload the book to Blurb. For the past week or so I have been trying to publish my latest year book imaginatively named 2015 with Blurb. You have to love it when a trusted and reliable company throws a complete spanner in the works for the sake of progress.
