The Photo Book and Photo Collage op-
tions use a similar interface for projects
that make use of the special frames,
backgrounds, themes (matched back-
grounds and frame sets), graphics and text to create multi-page documents from a group
of selected photos. The big difference between the two options is that with Photo Books, the
creation is optimized for multi-page documents, whereas the Photo Collage option creates a
series of single page layouts which can be printed using your desktop machine.
The Theme and Layout options allow the user to automatically design their pages and insert
pictures using one of a range of templates and styles, and then edit or add to the layouts after
creation. For more details on creating Photo Books and Collages see
Chapter 18.
