Red face saving for shutterfly photobook

I am just starting this digital scrapbooking journey and am new to photoshop elements 5. If I want to have shutterfly print my scrapbook, how do you recommend I go about saving my pages? I know it needs to be JPEG, but do I go to save, save as, or save for web? Should I flatten the image before saving? Thanks!

HI
First don't save for web since you are printing pages you need them saved as a jpeg

I flatten mine by doing ctrl>shift>E before saving
File>SaveAs>Jpeg> select OK
the next window shows the quailty setting
I would choose about 10 so it doesn't compress the image too much.

Read THIS page and download the templates and read the Glossary and Specs over carefully
good luck!

Unhappy More help please!

Thanks! Another question though....It has three format options...baseline(standard), baseline optimized and progressive. Which one should I use? If I choose progressive then it wants to know how many scans 3, 4 or 5. There is also a spot at the bottom where I can choose a size...14kbs all the way up to 2 MBps. I just want to make sure I save my work so that I get the best quality print. Thanks again for your help!!

I was always told to use baseline optimized at about a 10 compression or more

I just started working on a Shutterfly book. I'm using the templates and saving them at the max as .jpegs because you can always shrink the files later but you can't go the other way; however, I would also save the Photo Shop layered file in case you want to make changes. Once you flatten and save them as .jpegs, I'm pretty sure that you can't go back.
