    Seems like a great price. Can anyone vouch for the print quality of Big W photo books?

    • loulou1 on 19/01/2018 - 10:11

      just be extra careful with the images you upload. A family member ordered through them and it came back terrible quality. They told her it was due to the images used. When she tried to upload the images to another company to make a photo book it gave her a warning that the photos were unsuitable. Big W systems did not give the warning.

      • Ametric on 19/01/2018 - 10:16

        do you know in which way were they unsuitable, i.e. low resolution or wrong ratio of width/height? Thanks

        • loulou1 on 19/01/2018 - 10:30

          i think hers were low resolution as they looked absolutely awful. They may have been downloaded from facebook in error instead of using the original images.

        • Ametric on 19/01/2018 - 10:42

          @loulou1: thank you!

          @loulou1: probably best to upload actual photos, not thumbnails 😂

          @muncan: yes it was done in error. most companies have an inbuilt thing to warn you about it though

      • attfiecz2 on 20/01/2018 - 08:34

        I've just tested their system using their own photos to get a sense of how simple it was to use.
        They have a picture of a pelican, i made that full screen and a large flashing graphic appeared in the middle of the image saying "Low Resolution" with a big exclamation mark.

        So yes it appears that Big W does provide these warnings, although they may not have in the past.

          Might be new as it definitely didn’t appear for my sister. Glad to see it implemented after we provided feedback.

          Those warnings have been in place for years. It seems that your sister ignored them because I don't see any other way they wouldn't appear unless there is an option you can select to ignore warnings.

      100% recommended and can vouch for the quality. We made three books - wedding, honeymoon and just general travel - they all came out amazing! I truly was impressed with the quality.

      Yes, you'd need to use a high resolution image to get a high resolution photo print, but to me that's common sense. Big W isn't going to improve your image quality and then print it!

      I personally found their platform to make the photo-books quite user friendly too. Takes a few minutes to get used to all the options but once you know how to navigate, it's pretty awesome!

      Of course full price would be ridiculous to pay! So great bargain here!

      Make sure the photos are in sRGB and not AdobeRGB and they look ok.

      • BartholemewH on 19/01/2018 - 12:41

        Interesting tip, thanks.

        • Danthemanz on 19/01/2018 - 13:21

          Yeah, i process all my images myself and used to always use AdobeRGB because it was superior.
          Big-W, Harvey norman etc, all my prints were always washed out and a little warm.
          Calibrated monitors and everything.
          One batch i did a test of both and the sRGB looked like it should.
          Given the internet and everything ive just stopped using AdobeRGB altogether.

        • Consumer Sheep on 21/01/2018 - 07:13

          The site tells you to use sRGB under Technical Help.

    • Biggles266 on 19/01/2018 - 14:35

      Every other type of photo & canvas printing I have done with them has been good, so I expect their photo books will be too. See my comment below.

    • jinxsphinx on 20/01/2018 - 08:07

      From my experience the big w program does tell you if the photo is too low resolution. I've been very happy with my photo books (always got it at this price!) I've ordered around 3 or 4 now, ranging from 80-100 pages. They do take me a while to make though, so usually if there's no deal on, I make one over the course of several days/weeks, save it, then jump on when there's a deal.

  • lovedealz on 19/01/2018 - 11:53

    I wish they also offered one in a square aspect ratio

    • getho on 19/01/2018 - 13:42

      they do, it's also on sale at the mo: 8x8 $16, but only 20 pages.

  • marcmike11 on 19/01/2018 - 11:58

    anyone know how long it takes for a photobook to be processed by Big W?

    • jinxsphinx on 20/01/2018 - 08:08

      Approx 10 working days

  • chefdillu on 19/01/2018 - 12:02

    Both Harvey Norman & Big W use the same FUJI Site

    • Biggles266 on 19/01/2018 - 14:32
      +2

      Yes they do, and I once tested the same sample batch of photos in the past at multiple (commercial but non-professional) photo printing stores, and HN and Big W were easily the best colours.

      So as a photography enthusiast I only use those two stores now, and have done numerous canvases and large digital prints made at both of them, and been very satisfied with the quality and results. I recommend those two stores to all my friends for printing. They have good sale prices too if you are patient for them.

  • chillemi on 19/01/2018 - 12:09

    Does anyone know if you have to use their software to design the book, or can you upload a PDF created in InDesign / Lightroom?

    • getho on 19/01/2018 - 13:40

      looks like the same software service as hardly normal, in which case no pdf. THe only place I've found that accepts PDFs so far is blurb would also love to find an alternative

    • Hessian Sack on 19/01/2018 - 13:50

      I have previously designed a book in Apple Photos, exported to PDF, exported the pages of the PDFs to JPGs, and then uploaded the JPGs to Big W.

      It worked ok for the relatively unimportant book I was doing, but I'm sure I lost little bits of quality along the way.

  • b2dz on 19/01/2018 - 13:17

    Any comparisons of this to Snapfish? I was looking at them. This is a compelling offer though, particularly buy now and create later.

    • Biggles266 on 19/01/2018 - 14:27

      Haven't tried Snapfish for years, but when I did, their print quality was not as good as Harvey Norman's, and HN's is the same as Big W's.

    The photobook club have arguably a better deal with 60 pages $25, 100 pages $35 including delivery. Page sizes are A4 (slightly larger than 8" x 11"). 6 months to create instead of 3.

      • HappyPooPants on 19/01/2018 - 14:54

        so do I lol..just bought 2 x 100 pg books from big W.

        But in the end.. once the books are done, I know it will be worth it.
        $100 for something that will most likely last my lifetime.. I'm ok with that.

        You can procrastinate for twice as long before you need to make your photobook.

  • cheapismymiddlename on 19/01/2018 - 14:58

    I printed a photobook with them this time last year. It was reasonable quality, same printers as HN. Value for money!

  • neosin on 19/01/2018 - 15:56

    what aspect ratio do the pics need to be in?

    if they are not right ratio what happens?

    crop?
    stretch?
    black boarders?

    thanks

    anyone can post actual pics taken of a photobook would be great!

  • mitchellp on 19/01/2018 - 18:05

    Purchased a 60 page 12 * 16.
    They sent me a voucher code however I can't find where to create it.
    Any link or ideas?

    • mitchellp on 19/01/2018 - 18:39

      Worked out that you create a 20 page book and then add 40 pages apparently.

    • Bullion Baron on 19/01/2018 - 18:47

      From the email I received with the voucher:

      To get started, simply go to www.bigwphotos.com.au and use the BIG W photos online software to create your very own photo book.

    I have bought a 100 page 12 x 16 but also cannot figure out how to select 100 pages, it gives the options 40 or 120 pages.

      There is an asterix note to "Create 20 page book and then click arrange pages to add additional pages."
