Blurb Photo Books Hack 1.3.5 + Redeem Codes

"Publishing my first photo book, "Please, Don't Leave Me," through Blurb has been an unforgettable journey. Their user-friendly platform made the process of designing and laying out my unique collection of photographs a breeze.

The print quality of the final product did justice to the vibrant hues and intimate moments I captured on film. It was simply remarkable to see my work displayed on the high-quality pages of a professional-grade book.

One of the aspects that truly stood out was Blurb's affordability. It allowed me to offer my cherished audience a rich visual experience without setting the price beyond their reach. The customer service was prompt and efficient, ensuring a seamless process from conception to publication.

I would definitely recommend their services to other photographers or artists looking to materialize their creativity and share their work with the world."

For ten years, I’ve been printing photo books through Blurb using Lightroom’s book module. Life changes, needs change, etc. This year I switched to using only an iPad and there is no book module in the mobile version of Lightroom. I have been so discouraged to see that this app only allows two size options, which means that my books can no longer be consistent. For a decade I’ve been printing 10x8 landscape sized books and now I can only choose a 7x7 or 5x5, neither of which are large enough to really display my photos well. I’m so disappointed. I thought maybe I could just go to the Blurb website and design my book there, all online, only to find that they have no iPad support! You can only do it via Mac or PC though a downloaded app which is not available in the App Store.

This is hugely discouraging to me. I have been a loyal customer for 10 years and now I’ll have to find another option. Seriously, in 2021 there should absolutely be more options for creating a Blurb book via iPad.

This is my 3rd time assembling a book with Blurb. Each experience has been wonderful. My first book I purchased 60+ copies-A 60 year history of the Pacific Grove, CA Rotary Club. My 2nd was a revision to simplify the first book. My 3rd I just ordered about a family vacation. I am currently working on ‘The 70 Year History of the PG Rotary Club’-an update to current times. I have been so pleased that this company still exists & I can download my old book in order to add add more
10 years of ‘good deeds by this club’.

I just received my 2nd Blurb photo album, I’m hooked. I travel a lot and my “real” camera downloads to my cell phone, which allows me immediate access to my photos. Then to be able to get my pictures printed in an album, that looks like a book, is beyond awesome. So, instead of waiting for months or a year to finally get some pictures printed, I have them 2 weeks after my trip. Thank you Blurb.

After spending a few days with this app, I was initially thrilled at the ease of navigating it as opposed to using Bookwright, which is far more complex. This review however is for the one thing no one else mentions, which is a personal peeve - I want to sell these to customers, as a professional collection of my art -but you have permanently blobbed the back cover with your unattractive BLURB logo. It looks ridiculous, and while I understand you’d like me to advertise for you gratis, I find it insulting that I am paying you to exploit your brand.

You could at least offer the option of removing your logo- these books are pricey, and I’m getting no break to compromise my aesthetics. Most chapped at this annoyance and your presumption.

You can quickly make and preview a simple photo book with this app. It doesn’t allow you to edit photos in the app but will update the book layout with edits you make in your photo app — it just takes a lot of switching back and forth for tweaks. It needs some features, like being able to edit the size of the book (for example from 7x7 to 5x5) after it’s started, copy a complete layout to a new book project to edit or expand it, create simple collage page layouts, or undo an edit (like if you accidentally reformat all your pages).

There is plenty of need for an app for creation of photo books. I checked out this app and was very disappointed in the lack of design and size options. Other than captions, there does not seem to be an way to insert text, not even on blank pages. If Blurb is going to offer an app, it should support it. If not, then junk it. I’m all for minimalism but this app offers very little that I can see for creativity in making photo books. At the very least, one should be able to insert text in a book. Captions alone don’t cut it. There need to be more size options as well. Update and improve please!

I have been a long time user and loyal customer of blurb. I can no longer use my computer to do the book. The book comes in only two sizes. Cannot be done in paper back, Has to be a hard cover.
Have to put one picture on a page. I started the book making process with no knowledge of what it would cost or that it had to be a hard cover. I have been giving gifts to my sister-in-law showing our trips and they’re all the same. Except this one. I’m not just complaining to complain, I hope blurb will do better. these books are pretty expensive and there is a lot of competition out there.

As creatively sophisticated as their website is, this app falls way short of what it should be. In an age where people are going away from using desktops to create publications like zines in various sizes, the two limited choices with this app and the pricing for them is unacceptable. I am a photographer and I am able to do everything I need on an ipad pro from an editing standpoint, and I should be able to create and publish effectively on that platform as well. Blurb needs to catch up to the times and quick before someone else beats them to it.

I’m trying to connect to Flickr so I can upload some pictures for a book. There’s no options, nothing. I get the option to pick two sizes and then a blank screen.

It’s incredibly frustrating when everything I read says use blurb.

Also I do everything over the cell network. I don’t have wifi and don’t live near wifi. This is 2021, your app should be able to handle the cell network or not have a cell phone app. Don’t waste everyone’s time with an app if it doesn’t work.
