Photo Orientation for Books

- Memory Books (hard-cover and soft-cover) can have different layouts on each page to accommodate a variety of photos.
- Individual Mini Memory Book feature landscape-oriented images that bleed to the edges of the page, so vertical photos will be automatically cropped to fit the page. We recommend only using landscape-oriented photos for Individual Mini Memory Book.
