Bring Your Scrapbook Albums to Life with "The Big Picture"

By FOREVER


Do you have scrapbook albums or heritage photo albums you’ve recently digitized? With those treasured Album Page Scans preserved in your FOREVER account, there’s now an effortless way to showcase them in a beautiful, printed format! We’re thrilled to introduce The Big Picture photo book in FOREVER Create & Print, designed specifically for Album Page Scans.

What is The Big Picture?

The Big Picture is a unique photo book crafted for digitized scrapbook pages and heritage albums, allowing each page scan to shine on its own. Every page features one scan, and each scan is displayed against a beautiful background in a style that complements the original design. With three layout options—true square, full-page bleed, and rectangle—you can capture the essence of every scrapbook page in a clean, modern book format, at a fraction of the width.

Setting Up Your Album for The Big Picture

For the smoothest experience, start by setting up your scrapbook album scans in FOREVER:

  1. Create an Album in FOREVER: Make a dedicated album in your FOREVER account with all the scanned scrapbook pages you’d like to include in the book.
  2. Organize Your Pages: Within the album, click the Filters button, then sort the album scans in the order you want them to appear in the book. We recommend A-Z for ease, but feel free to arrange by theme, date, or however you like!
  3. Select a Cover Image: Choose an image that represents the theme of your scrapbook and place it at the very front of the album. This image will automatically appear as your book’s cover. If you sort by "Custom," select the image and move it to the first file placement in the album. If you sort by "A-Z," edit your file name to begin with "001" and it should automatically move to the first file placement in the album.

Bringing Your Book to Life with FOREVER AutoBook Technology

Creating The Big Picture is made seamless with FOREVER’s AutoBook technology:

  1. Select The Big Picture Under Photo Book Designs: Choose your preferred book size and binding options.
  2. Select Your Album: Choose the album with your organized scrapbook page scans.
  3. Auto-Populate with Ease: With AutoBook technology, each page scan populates automatically in the exact order you set.

In moments, you’ll have a beautiful digital book preview of your scrapbook album, complete with each page placed and organized.

Adding Personal Touches to The Big Picture

Before printing, take a quick tour through your book and make any final tweaks. The Big Picture allows for easy customizations—choose background colors to match each page scan, adjust layouts, or make any final touches to highlight your memories.

A New Way to Relive Your Scrapbook Albums

The Big Picture is perfect for anyone looking to print their digitized scrapbook pages, allowing each page to shine. You can make duplicate copies to share with anyone who'd love a copy. It’s a fresh way to preserve, organize, and enjoy your memories—no scissors or glue needed!
