Just got my photo books back from Blurb and I am really disappointed in the quality of paper and images. Any suggestions on better quality or ideas of how to get better quality out of Blurb? I did a book last year out of Apple's iphoto and it was significantly better quality than this one :frown:

Lindy, the best course of action is to discuss your concerns with Blurb. I've not used them, but I understand that they will work with you to make it right, assuming the problem is on their end.

I can't speak to this much, since I only have 1 Blurb book and I ordered it with their premium paper option. I have to say though that I thought it was the equal in quality to any other photo book I've purchased. If they have any options, it may be that you need to go the "premium" route - I don't know what they offer these days though.

Lindy, I am with David on this one. I have 1 Blurb book in which I ordered their preminium paper and I am well pleased. I did pull a couple of images when I saw how they came out in the proof copy. In both cases I had pushed the post capture processing too far and the proof copy really showed the flaws.
