I have not yet found a photo book that would allow the user to insert photos of any shape.

The reason that I want this feature is that I do not want any part of my photo to be cropped to conform to the frame.

We don't want to have to conform to the publishers frames. This is particularly important if there is text in the pictures, such as when a picture is scanned and it has writing along the edges.

BTW if the publisher allowed pan/zoom capability, the problem goes away - but this is not allowed in photobooks.
