I shrink them image size in CS5 and then reupload but then its still not fittng corrrectly.  Anyone figure out how to make them the right size?

I want to use the 9x9.78 throughout the whole book so i can use the text area under it

what are you uploading your images to, exactly? You mention a book, but usually for books it is normal to create one file of pages that include the images and text.

A question like "my pictures are too large to fit into frames - how do I shrink them?" without giving any more information even simple stuff as the type of book leaves us all grabbing for our crystal balls!

If you're making a photo book or using a cover wizard then this tutorial may be of help.

I'm having the same problem. I selected the first theme for a book cover that allows you to add just an image to the front and back.  Howerver no matter how I manipulate the image it is always too big  to fit in the desgnated frame and  the image quality is always vey poor.  Very blurry.  I have used jpeg and png format.  I have made the resoluiton any where from 1200x1000 to 72x72.  And yes I did 300x300. I have created the images both in Powerpoint, Arcsoft  Photo Studio, and Gimp. I have created them as very small images. and as very large images and then tried to scale image.  Nothing seems to be  working.   Also how  do I delete some of the downloaded images that are being saved? Please advise.
