Which one(s) should I use? And is photoshop also necessary? Also any advice on how to make a book? And should it mostly be photo print outs along with writing?
I use photoshop. There is a program within that you can create a "portfolio" easily. I did it here for diamond rings. http://diamondsbylauren.com/SlideShow_yellows/YellowDiamondRings.html There may be other suggestions, though. I also have a script I use for my about me slide show. But it would require sizing. But the script has a wizard and I'll hunt it down if you might have wanted a slide show.
