- Color correct images before uploading to Memory Book Online™. Make sure your images, especially class portraits, are not too dark, too light, or color cast.
- Be alert for text that may be hard to read. Use light-colored text on dark backgrounds and dark-colored text on light backgrounds. You may also lighten elements used as backgrounds by using the Tint tool under the Format tab.
- When creating your class portrait pages, make sure:
- 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’ portraits are not flowed in with student portraits.
- Each class portrait page’s grade is identified and placed in the proper order in the yearbook.
- Use the Memory Book Online™ spelling checker.
- Watch out for faces and text that may be placed outside the margins, because those elements may get trimmed off. If you are not sure where the margins are located, please call technical support at 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 it on a page. If there is a green check mark, it means that this image has already been placed on one or more pages.
