Color correct images before uploading to Memory Book Online™. Make sure that images, especially class portraits, are not too dark, too light, or color cast.
Watch out for text that may be difficult to read. Use light-colored text on dark backgrounds and dark-colored text on light backgrounds. You may also lighten elements used as backgrounds using the Tint tool under the Format tab.
Double check the following when creating your class portrait pages:
There are no duplicate or missing portraits.
Each portrait has a first name and a last name.
Names and portraits match.
Portrait sizes are consistent and are lined up and spaced evenly.
Teachers are not flowed in with the students.
Each class portrait page’s grade is identified and is placed in the proper order in the yearbook.
Use the Memory Book Online™ spelling checker.
Watch out for faces and text placed outside of the margins because these may get trimmed off. If you are unsure of where the margins are located, please contact technical support at 1-877-302-3140.
To avoid unwanted duplicate candid images, look at the bottom left corner of an image’s thumbnail under the Images tab before placing on a page. If there is a green check mark, this means that this image has already been placed in one or more other pages.
