gaochuhan,

Nice job. 2 days ago I sat down with a friend of mine and showed her how to do this, having a guide like this would have made it a lot easier.

One additional note.

Using PP Photo Album option only allows you to create one style of page for your album. In order to provide a little variety, I will create several photo albums, maybe one with pages of 1 photo each, one with pages of 2 photos and one with pages of 4 photos. I try to be consistent with the frame details. Then I just cut and paste the pages into one album.

Also, great tip on the compression, most people don't know about it and end up with just huge files. Thanks again.
