I been trying my best to document my day to day activities. Before, what I do is I take photos everyday, print it into small sizes, compile it and put it inside a scrap book. But lack of time makes it hard for me to do its everyday. I just wish there was an easier way to do it.
A few days ago I was invited to try this new service provided by FUJIFILM Wonder Photo Shop. I realize this was the solution i’ve been asking for a long time ago.
Read more to know about it.
FUJI FILM Wonder Photo Shop in UP Town Center is the first branch of the original store outside Japan. And because Filipinos love taking photos, Takuya Maeda, Fujifilm Philippines’ Division head for Electronic Imaging and Photo Imaging, realizes the need of putting up this kind of store here.
FUJIFILM Wonder Photo Shop is a store where you can find all the products of FUJI FILM and along with it are different photography stuffs and services like Printing photos from phone, Layout and printing photos, scrapbooking, selfie studio, and the one that I tried – creating my Coffee Table book in minutes.
This has been one of the best thing that happened for scrap-booking enthusiasts!
Before the session starts, you will first need to transfer all your photos on a USB Flash drive. You don’t need to pre-select the photos because this is what the software do. But if your a bit picky, or if your trying to create a thematic coffee table book (just like what I did), you can pre-select the photos you wanted to be included in the book.
Next, you’ll be needing to choose the number of pages, you can either choose 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48. I picked 24.
After opening the FUJIFILM Year Album Editor, just follow the simple instructions until you find your self finishing everything in minutes! Some of their customers have finished everything just in 5 or less than minutes, I took some time for I was a bit picky and have a hard time mix and matching photos (I got tons of photos that I wanted to include!).
Whats good about the software is that it has the capability of recommending the best photo in the bunch specially if you got multiple shots. It can determine good and bad shots plus you got the power to pick your main characters and supporting characters too!
It’s super fun specially for art enthusiast, you can customize everything from the board, to the number of photos on each page and even adding icons or images to make it even more personal.
I was a bit worried at first that it would take time in doing everything, but I was told that I don’t need to worry for there are no extra charges if you’ll be finish after an hour or more. You can even save everything for later if you weren’t able to finish it in a day, a password can be provided for each project you created.
By the way, everything is self service except for the printing and binding. As to what I have told, they are planning to line up 3 or more units to accommodate multiple clients at the same time. We can do a printing party!!!
I finished by book after an hour and I picked it up a few days after. If you finished it early you can just wait roam around the mall and come back after a few hours to get the printed Coffee table book.
Heres what I created. I initilaly plan to do a 2014 adventure yearbook but my photos are a bit “sabog” so i decided to focus on my OOTD shoots of 2014 with a few travels included.
Enjoy.
