Preparing Photos for MIG
Want to make your own book or pdf publication?
For “value for money” and ease of use you can’t beat Serif’s “Affinity Publisher” to help you layout text and images.
There a good review here.
If you prefer not to spend a penny then Scribus (for Mac or PC) works just fine.
The paper I used to print my “Winter Trees” book is Spectrajet Office Duo Print 176 – available from Tetenal.
Other bookbinding materials can be found on-line. I use Ratchford Limited.
