Book Designer Screencasts

Hi, I'm confused about the first video — if I understand the crop guides correctly, doesn't it mean that the back cover of that beach trip photobook will have the top of the lady's head cut off and the left of the baby's?

Or does using Book Designer take care of scaling/cropping/bleed issues? I have photos with impt elements that do go all the way to the edge and I don't see any way of getting around the crop problem short of manually adding a safety border to all my photos, which defeats the point of having an easy to use software.

I've read the help pages but don't understand how it works since a lot of the advice given seems directed at people uploading completed pdfs as opposed to using Book Designer (where you don't get to specify the size of the final picture uploaded, just the dimensions).

Please help?

I can't hear film. I am having a difficult time getting started since I don't understand and am a visual person. I want to see what I need to do to create a wedding book for friends. I thought I would have more flexibility that with Shutterfly, but perhaps I should use their simple layout instead, even if my cropped photos don't fit their styles.

Not sure if it's just me, but it seems that at about 4 minutes or so remaining (when the uploaded pdf is processing) the video stops and there is just audio.
