SAAL Photobook

 

SAAL are a professional photo lab who produce the best products for their customers. They offer photobooks, photo prints, posters, greetings cards, calendars and wall decor. I was flattered to be offered £100 voucher to create a photo album in exchange for an honest review. I had a repeated issue using the SAAL app, so I used the laptop to create the album. Julia sent me some of her photographs to be added.  The result is an exquisite photo book that will be cherished. Written by Collette.

 

 The SAAL app I assumed would be simple to use. The app let me choose the layout and when I named the album, I found the app wouldn't save the album name. Thinking it may have been my mobile, I checked my iPhone and found all the updates were updated and had cleared cookies and cache. I tried again to create the album and I chose the photographs I wanted. I previewed the album and I wanted to return to change something but when I pressed return it deleted the entire album. I contacted SAAL via email after the second attempt to create the album failed on the app. I found out that the SAAL app doesn't  connect with the website itself. So if you create the album on the app and you then log into their website via a laptop -the two things are separate. This surprised me as usually when I use apps to purchase anything on my mobile, I can go online and my order is there. The app would be more customer friendly I feel. I didn't want to disappoint SAAL so I decided to make my photobook using the laptop. 

  The SAAL website was very easy to navigate around. The website gave me an option to let them put the photographs on the pages and front cover or do it manually. I was curious to see how SAAL created the photobook with their automated selection. You upload the images then they lay the album out for you, and can even edit the album as you wish! The photos looked incredible in the album layout. I changed a few pages by selecting the layout to make the photos cover two -pages. SAAL use the Layflat binding so when the photographs are printed to give a seamless look. For the cover design I chose acrylic cover with a faux leather backing. The delivery was £12.99 and it arrived by express tracked delivery

The photobook was created faster than anticipated and shipped quickly. Superb service.

Thick acrylic cover 

Faux leather cover

The Layflat binding is beautiful. Julia and I have never seen a photo book this beautifully made before.

The pages are high quality and high gloss.

The pages with a single photo on can also have a design facing it.

Thoughts on SAAL Photobook is it's highly professional and the best quality BeautyTies have seen. I have used lower priced photobooks before that made nice gifts but nothing near this high quality finish. It feels special to hold and look at. Is this worth buying? Absolutely and furthermore I feel this company would be the best people to make portfolios for businesses. If you want to gift a photobook to someone special these books are the highest quality I have seen. SAAL also offers photographs to be printed on Greetings Cards, Photo Prints, Wall decor, Calendars and Posters. There is something to create for any occasion. The photobook stands out and is exquisite. If like us, you are a keen photographer, this book will be a wonderful keepsake. I highly recommend SAAL for your next photographic project.
