STEP BY STEP TO BEGIN BOOKWRIGHT AND EDIT

 HOW TO BEGIN  BOOKWRIGHT AND START TO EDIT

Beginning:

The easiest way of doing this is to login with Blurb and download Bookwright onto a laptop or home computer rather than try to do this at college. The college computers' hardware are not really up to date .
Familiarise yourselves with the system, try and work your way around this as all instructions are on the system and it will be a lot easier if you have had a play at home.

Bring laptop into college to work on (if possible but do not leave this unattended).
Bring in USB stick in with 6GB upwards of memory .VERY IMPORTANT
Scan at 300 DPI on the flatbed scanners ( make sure these are clean)
Save to one drive and copy to USB.  Bookwright will only recognise this, not one drive on our computers.


If you are signing into Bookwright  at college:

Go to the Start menu
Type in Software centre
Download Bookwright
You only have to do this once on a college computer if it has not yet been done on this machine.
If the message updates pops up, then cancel this.

It is best if you can keep it simple but do ask Amanda, Josh or someone who knows Photoshop well for advice.
