Before finalising your order, Pro Lab provides multiple ways to preview and proof your design to ensure perfection. Since custom-made products cannot be modified once production begins, careful proofing is critical.
Preview options available
1. In-editor preview (recommended)
- Click the "Preview" button in the editor toolbar
- Full-screen page-by-page view
- Navigate with arrow keys or page thumbnails
- Zoom in to check photo quality and text
- See exactly how the printed book will look
- Return to editing if changes are needed
2. Thumbnail page view
- The bottom of the editor shows all pages as thumbnails
- Quick overview of the entire book flow
- Spot layout inconsistencies easily
- Rearrange pages with drag-and-drop
What to check during proofing
Check Item | What to Look For | Common Mistakes |
Photo quality | No blurry/low-resolution warnings, clear faces | Ignoring yellow/red quality warnings |
Text accuracy | Correct spelling, names, dates, captions | Typos in names, wrong dates/locations |
Photo orientation | All photos right-side up, properly rotated | Upside down or sideways photos |
Page order | Logical flow, chronological story | Pages out of sequence, random order |
Cover design | Title correct, main photo well-positioned | Faces cut off on cover, title errors |
Photo cropping | Important elements visible, no critical cut-offs | Faces/subjects partially cropped out |
Text placement | Text readable, not over faces, good contrast | Text on busy backgrounds, poor readability |
Page count | Correct number of pages as ordered | Forgetting pages are ordered in pairs |
Critical reminder
⚠️ Once your order enters production, changes cannot be made. Always thoroughly review before ordering. Take your time — it's your last chance to catch errors.
Pro tips for catching errors
- Step away and come back the next day with fresh eyes before ordering
- Show the preview to family — a second pair of eyes catches what you miss
- Use the zoom feature on every page to check photo sharpness
- Read every caption out loud to catch typos
- Heed every quality warning (yellow = caution, red = will print poorly)
