Creating a cookbook with Pixum need no effort: you design your photo book directly online or download the Pixum Fotowelt Software, which is very easy to use. The menu navigates you in a customer-friendly way so that you always have an overview. Once you have installed the free software, you use all the design tools for your cookbook.
If several people are working on one cookbook, you can pass on the current file via a cloud. You can also save the previously created versions and continue later when all files have been collected.
Here is how to create your recipe collection step by step:
- Select your own photos and prepare delicious recipes
- Launch the online designer or the Pixum Photo World software
- Set the details for the photo cookbook: size, cover, binding, paper type.
- Now you can start and create your own recipe book by arranging the pre-selected photos on the photo book pages.
- Using a double page makes sense for a self-designed cookbook: one page displays the picture of the dish while the other page shows the meal preparing steps.
Every page can be edited online as well:
- Change layout (specify number and order of images)
- Add text or image areas
- Set background colour (choose thr colour that matches the photo)
- Edit photo (crop, rotate, adjust saturation/ colour/ contrast/ brightness, use sepia filter, blur, gamma correction, etc.)
Using the photo book software to create your cookbook you get many more design possibilities. You can professionally edit your pictures and favorite recipes in best quality, for example by using photo effects, changing brightness levels or working with guide lines by arranging the elements on the page.
Working with layouts will fasten up the process.
The cliparts in the software give your cookbook a professional design touch. The collection of high-quality illustrations is very large and is free for you. This guarantees that the cookbook will animate the recepient to try out the recipes!
