Please help, really quick question

Does the book REALLY turn out like it does in the preview? I've made my own layout pages in PS which was way easier than I thought it would be because some of the threads scared me. But now I'm concerned about actually printing it because I want to know if the preview book when you're done adding and stuff REALLY.....REALLY looks JUST like that when it's sent to print. Or does it chop off the margins AFTER you've laid it out like you want?

Like I've read so many posts on how to watch out for the margins (the 1/2" for the gutter and 1/4" for the other 3 sides)...but are these "cutoffs" shown on the preview? And if it looks exactly how I want it in the preview before I send it, will it come back looking exactly like the preview (without chopping the margins)? Or do the "cutoff" margins and stuff happen AFTER you send it to print and you just have to align for it!

Help! I'm REALLY confused about this!!!!!!!!

Hey! I am running into this same issue. Mostly knowing how much to cut off on the inside pages (where it's bound) so the full bleed pages look right. Have you gotten your book printed yet? I haven't checked the preview as I haven't even started but am already wondering about this...What did you end up going with for the gutter sizes??? Thanks!!

MP says to allow 1/8" for edge trimming and 1/4" for center binding. I have been using 1/2" for center on full bleeds, per someone's post with more experience than me. Just got done looking over a preview, specificly looking for those edge trimmings. The on-line preview, like the software preview, does not show the trimming. Guess we have to wait and be surprised.

I got my book back...and the pano pages came out great. They were seamless. The first pano page was a little weird but the second one was perfect. I think I made a mistake with shifting the picture in the first pano page and that's why it came out weird. here's a link to my book. I did the .5" inch seam and it seamed to work good.
