1 *Printing your PHOTOBOOK w/mms* There are plenty of things you can do with page projects completed in your My Memories Suite software, but one of the most exciting is to have your book uploaded for printing!

2 This might be a smidge out of sync with the video but it should hopefully be close enough to be helpful! There are a couple things to think about before beginning the upload process for printing your book. Make sure your pages are complete and saved. Decide whether or not you will want a hard cover or leather option (I usually choose to duplicate the first page of my album - with a few changes - to serve as the cover AND page 1). See in the thumbnail tray that my first page is duplicated with some minor changes to serve as cover, page 1, and the back cover! It is a GOOD IDEA to snap on the album printing guides BEFORE beginning a project that you will upload for printing as a PHOTOBOOK Choose VIEW > GUIDES - then choose the size that is appropriate for the size book you will be printing NOTE ABOUT GUIDES: the guides are helpful for making sure all elements are contained in the safe printing area of your page - SOMETIMES there may be some SLIGHT trimming during the printing process but most of what you see will print on your book page (they are the grayed out area shown here) A closer view of the Cover of my book and page 1 just so you can see how I do mine - yours is, of course, completely up to you! Choose SHARE ALBUM and select PHOTO ALBUM from the drop-down menu 2

You can also type the page range in by page numbers! Choose the type cover you want - remember that if you are choosing leather cover, you will not need to have a page created to serve as the cover of your book. If you select the photo cover, the first page in your album will serve as the front cover, and the last page will serve as your back cover!

Remember you can re-order any of the page here by simply dragging them to the new placement you wish them to have in your layout!
