I'm amazed at the quality of the bound, book-like album that is produced for as little as $40. I didn't notice any cropping. I put together a photo-journalistic black and white album for my new daughter-in-law and she was blown away (she's still waiting for the proofs from the pro who was hired to shoot the wedding).
