A computer system for creating a design for a photo product includes servers that can identify a blog page that includes an image, text, or designs, automatically incorporate at least one of the image, text, or the design object in the blog page into the design of a photo product, and allow a user to review the design of the photo product. The servers communicate with a printing finishing facility that makes a physical photo product according to the design of the photo product.

A method for assisting a user to design a photo book includes displaying layouts of a first page and a second page of the photo book at the user interface, storing a first snapshot image and a first dynamic render object in association with the first page and a second snapshot image and a second dynamic render object in association with the second page, allowing a user to select the first page for editing by at the user interface, in response to user selection of the first page, representing the first page by the first dynamic render object at the user interface, representing the second page by the second snapshot image at the user interface, and allowing the user to vary the first dynamic render object in the first page at the user interface.
