Export individual layouts in book module?

I have created a book in LR and exported it as JPGS and modified a few pages in PS with some graphic embellishments. I now want to change a few layouts in LR and only export those few layouts, not the whole book. Is this possible?

I don't think it is possible to do from Lr. Lr exports the whole book to PDF and there is no option of selecting  individual pages.
But if you have Adobe Acrobat you can delete the pages you don't want in Acrobat.

  • How to use Auto layout in book module

    Hi,
    I got a MBP mid-2010 15" running OS X Lion.
    I´m trying to get the auto layout to work with presets. I might be doing something wrong here though:
    1. "Edit Auto layout preset"
    2. Choose for instance "Wedding" layout
    3. Save preset
    If I then click on "Auto Layout" it creates the book, but only with "1 Photo" on each page
    If I then click on edit "Auto layout presets" again and choose the preset I just created, the layout option says "1 Photo" (I chose wedding)
    No matter how I try to save this it goes back to 1 Photo.
    What am I doing wrong here? Is it some kind of bug?
    Thanks,
    Tor Olav

    You cannot attach the LDB to the main program of the function group.
    - So you may [SUBMIT|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/advancedsearch?cat=sdn_all&query=submit&adv=false&sortby=cm_rnd_rankvalue] a report which use the LDB and get back the data (export/import), by default in the syntax of SUBMIT the selection-screen will not be displayed
    - Use [LDB_PROCESS|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/advancedsearch?query=ldb_process&cat=sdn_all], fill a structured table for selection, and get data back in another table

  • SRGB or Blurb icc profile better for soft proofing prior to Book module?

    As I understand it images destined for Blurb are converted by the Lr engine into sRGB behind the scenes. To achieve best chance of colour accuracy in the finished Blurb book, is it better to softproof using a sRGB profile or the icc profile* offered on the Blurb Support website. On the surface this icc profile is recommended (by them) for their Booksmart process. Anyone know if that is similar to the Lr Book module process? There is no mention of Lr anywhere on the Blurb color management pages.
    It would be great to pin down the answer to this. I cannot find any recommendation for best work practice aimed at getting good colour reproduction in these books; and trial and error, whilst acceptable in making inkjet prints, is a very expensive route when applied to printing a Blurb book.
    * And even then, as far as I can see, there is no method for differentiating between the Blurb papers. It is just one profile to fit all.

    I tried using 'Export Book to PDF' in the LR Book module with 'Book' set to 'Blurb' and the PDF images are all tagged as sRGB profile and 8-bit color.
    SUGGESTION
    If you set 'Book' to 'PDF' under 'Book Setting' you can use Adobe RGB profile, 300 ppi, and your own Sharpening selection, which as Andrew Rodney mentioned is a better choice. You can submit the LR Exported PDF at Blurb's 'PDF To Book' upload page and they will do the proper CMYK conversion on their end. The only issue is that the images are still exported in the LR Book module as 8-bit color JPEGs. This may cause banding with a wider gamut profile, but that should be apparent when reviewing the exported book PDF.
    Here are some comments from Blurb concerning using Blurbs 'PDF to Book' workflow, which is similar to what I just described:
    From Me:
    My Workflow Details:
    My objective is to process all images in LR4 and then export them as 300 dpi, ProPhoto RGB profile, 16 bit TIFF images for layout in InDesign using Blurb's InDesign plugin (Blurb Book Creator CS6 v2.0.2.34d8). I will soft proof the placed images inside InDesign using its 'Proof Colors' tool and the Blurb_ICC_Profile.icc profile. Once the InDesign layout is complete I will do the RGB to CMYK Blurb_ICC_Profile conversion during the export to PDF process using the Blurb PDF X-3 Export Preset v1-1.
    Blurb's Resonse:
    Response Via Email(David) - 07/18/2012
    Using InDesign and our Blurb InDesign Plug-in does mean you're using the PDF to Book Workflow. This is because your InDesign files will ultimately be exported/uploaded as PDF files.
    Regarding, "Once the InDesign layout is complete I would like to do the RGB to CMYK Blurb_ICC_Profile conversion during the export to PDF process":
      Unfortunately, there is no option for this and it's actually unnecessary during the export process. Our printers convert and process all images as CMYK using the Blurb ICC Color Profile, so even if you upload/export them with an RGB color profile, they'll be converted to CMYK for the production process.
    My Response:
    Customer By Email - 07/19/2012 05:10 AM Thanks for the explanation David. It sounds like I can just upload the PDF file using my ProPhoto RGB profiled PDF, but I would prefer to do the conversion from ProPhoto RGB to Blurb ICC CMYK profile. This way I can see the results before uploading the file to Blurb. Can I use the Blurb PDF X-3 Export Preset v1-1 with Output > Color Conversion to Destination > Blurb CC profile, and then upload the PDF file myself? If so please advise where I should upload the file on the Blurb website.
    Blurb's Response:
    Response Via Email(David) - 07/20/2012 03:49 PM Hi Todd,
    If you do end up exporting your PDFs with the workflow you're referring to, you can upload your files here:
    http://www.blurb.com/make/pdf_to_book
    IMHO there's no reason why Adobe and Blurb couldn't work together so ProPhoto RGB 16-bit images can be used in the book PDF that gets uploaded (or exported!) to Blurb's website. Blurb then handles the CMYK conversion using full-gamut 16-bit images and not clipped sRGB 8-bit images.

  • Book Module not exporting to jpg

    I am trying to export a 80 page book to jpg at quality 60, 75 dpi so that I can consult with someone about the layout. The module will only export the cover and the first 4 pages. Any suggestions on what to do?
    Billie

    I would just delete the above issue but I thought the resolution might be helpful to someone else. In looking back at my pages, I found a little red dot at the bottom right hand side  of the photo window on page 5. I couldn't find out what it meant but I removed the page and started over with a new page. That eliminated the red dot and I could then export the total jpg file.

  • Feature Request // Book Module: Export as indd file and management

    Book Module: Export as indd file and management
    I would like to request a feature to export a book module as indd file. 
    I like PDF's but .indd is nice also so we are able to to more in depth layouts.
    Having Lightoom being able to manage all your pictures and book layouts would be nice, alot of things can be done in one application.
    Another Feature:  Using Lightoom as book layout management.
    Being able to send a page(s) of the book from lightroom into InDesign to do indepth layout and editing, then being able to send it back into lightroom
    Almost similar to how you can send a photo from LR in Photoshop to do indepth editing and then send it back into lightroom.
    This could and will ease the workflow of book management and layout design.  So lightroom will not only be able to manage photos, but also indesign and book layouts.
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4238530#4238530

    Why do repeat it here, as you have already filed a feature request for it?
    BTW AFAIK this is already implemented: you can use Adobe Illustrator or InDesign or Opensource Scribus to edit layouts.
    They are just not ready to publish how - another sign of the quality processes at Adobe.
    But you do not send from the book module.
    You create upfront layout templates, which you can import for use inside LR book module.
    This is a one-way street.
    The book module designers did not acknowledge a use case where you might want to fiddle the exact placement of really chosen images.
    It is always you first design a template, then use it.
    Love it or leave it - *change it* is not an option that Adobe seems to give to their beta testers.

  • Unable to export from the Book Module in LR-4.4 to Blurb, PDF and JPEG

    I have made a book in the book module and was really looking forward to send it to Blurb for printing. I push the "Send book to Blurb... " button but nothing happens. I have tried to export to PDF and JPEG aswell, but nothing. I am Connected to internet, I have an account at Blurb but no reaction. Are there any settings I have missed or are there any bugs that prevents me from exporting? Do Blurb ship to Norway or is that the problem? Please help!!!

    When you click on <Send Book to Blurb> a dialog should come up that asks for your ID and password for your Blurb account. I don't know if Blurb ships to Norway - you probably can find out at the Blurb website. But I don't think that this is the problem here since you also cannot export a PDF or JPGs.
    I don't know of any specifics why this is not possible for you but it's worth trying to replace the Preference File.
    This file can go "funny" and is then responsible for all kinds of strange behavior of Lr. The remedy is replacing the Preference File. 
    BTW: Re-installing Lr or updating / upgrading Lr does not replace the Preference File since it is designed to "survive" upgrades.

  • Why does book module not export ?

    Lightroom’s Book Module may crash on export to pdf and Blurb.
    This is not a new topic, I know, but a frustratingly regular one. As it has happened to me on several occasions with several books I offer advice but would like to be given some too. Please don’t anyone say I shouldn’t expect the module to handle text as well as InDesign – this problem is a basic instability within the software, or so I believe. There is no obvious reason for the export to get almost to the end and then crash and there is no dialogue box that says what’s wrong with the book. When the report dialogue box appears, there is never any useful response.
    I recommend, and will follow my own advice religiously from now on:
    1.  At the end of every day working with a Lightroom book, export to pdf to check it’s working.
    2.  Always, when doing anything with Lightroom, quit Lightroom and back up the catalogue at the end of the day.
    3.  If you’ve are doing a lot of work in a session, quit Lightroom from time to time and back up the catalogue more frequently than in 1 & 2 above.
    4.  If Lightroom should crash unexpectedly, don’t just carry on after re-opening it. It is quite likely that a book’s data has been compromised, so try to export it to pdf to check. If that fails, re-open a previous back-up and re-do your lost work.
    5.  If you have not been doing regular checks and back-ups, and there was an unannounced problem at some earlier stage, the danger that arises is that your catalogue has developed photos and structure that will be lost if you have to return to an early back-up to regain control of the book export function. It is very hard work, but occasionally possible, to discover what the problem with the export is and change the page with the problem. Don't bank on that.
    I am going to take the opportunity in the next couple of days to start restructuring a 120 page book that no longer exports. I'll re-type it all from scratch. I couldn’t possibly, reliably, carry on in any other way. If you think it would be possible to avoid this labour, plese let me know how.

    If you do file >> export in CS6 you should see tif here and these settings
    The plug in that creates these is here
    /Applications/Adobe Illustrator CS6/Plug-ins.localized/Illustrator Formats.localized/TIFF.aip/
    Your plug in may be damaged, or a setting that works with this. Try resetting the illustrator preferences as this fixes many items.

  • Book Module Export PDF Quality Poor - any solutions?

    Hello,
    I am trying to figure out a solid solution / workflow for making PDF porfolio's for clients.
    The commercial studio where I work needs to send pdf portfolio's to potential clients quite often.
    So far we have not been able to find a perfect solution on how to do this with any adobe product (including ACROBAT!)
    one of 2 things seem to continually happen.
    1. Gigantic file sizes for decent quality PDF's (75 mb +)
    2. Horrible color shifts and degraded picture quality for usably sized (3-7mb) portfolio's.
    I was hopeful that the new Book Module in LR4 would solve this issue.
    admitedly the quality is better IF I save it at jpeg quality 100 and a dpi of 240 but this resulted in a 74 MB file (for 31 images on a 8x10 page)
    I clearly can not send a file that large with email....
    as soon as I make the dpi or jpeg quality lower they look like total garbage...
    Further more the colors shift greatly (on the lower res versions) when opened in something other then Acrobat reader (ie Mac Preview)
    Could someone please share a workflow that will result in profesional quality PDF's at a screen resolution.
    We have / use the CS5 suite / LR4 / Acrobat Pro
    In short as a PRO studio I want PRO quality our of my PRO software...
    I would like to keep it as simple and streamlined as possible.
    and if at all possible do it all within LR4.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks.

    Thanks, I haven't used the LR4 Book module that much and only saw the 'Export Book to PDF' button at the left-bottom of the screen. I tried a Book module 'PDF' Export using 7x7 size, Quality 80, sRGB, 150 dpi, and Standard Glossy sharpening. Here are the results:
    1) PDF file size = 3.3 MB
    2) Standard Optimized PDF (Acrobat 9 compatibility) = 3.2 MB
    I next tried the 'Export Book to PDF' button:
    3) PDF file size = 4.8 MB
    4) Standard Optimized PDF (Acrobat 9 compatibility) = 975 KB
    When viewed on my 25" 1920 x1080 monitor on Windows 7 64bit in Acrobat 9 Pro at 'Fit to Page' zoom size all four PDF files look identical in color and sharpness. When viewed in 'Full Screen' mode only the largest file size PDF (#3 above) created using the 'Export Book to PDF' button exhibits good sharpness. This is probably due to the size of the exported JPEG image having insufficient resolution to fill the screen at 100% (1:1 pixel mapping):
    7" x 7" Book at 150 dpi = 6.88" x 150 = 1032x 1032 (Mapped to my 1920 x 1080 monitor)
    Requires 1080/6.88" = 157 dpi minimum
    7" x 7" Book at 170dpi = 6.88” x 170= 1170 x 1170 (Mapped to your 2560 x 1440 monitor)
    Requires 1440/6.88" = 210 dpi minimum
    I next created a Book PDF file (3.7 MB) with the above calculated 157 dpi for my 1920 x1080 monitor viewing in Full Screen mode. The results are as sharp as the full-size ‘Export Book to PDF’ file (4.8 MB). I then tried a PDF optimization of the 4.8 MB file using Acrobat Optimization downsample setting of 157 dpi for images above 235 dpi and obtained an equally sharp file 1.0 MB in size. So this method still seems to produce a smaller file than obtainable direct from the LR Book module.
    For your NEC MultiSync PA271w monitor with higher 2560 x1440 resolution try using 210 dpi, 80 quality and Standard Glossy Sharpening. When I used Matte High settings the image was clearly over-sharpened for screen viewing. Next try the ‘Export to PDF’ button and then ‘PDF Optimization’ in Acrobat Pro using 210 dpi downsample setting. It shouldn’t hurt to go slightly higher in dpi, but you don’t want to go lower than ‘Full Screen’ 1:1 pixel mapping.

  • Book Module: Export to PDF and Blurb stops with error at two page spread

    I have a 66 page book created in the book module..
    When exporting to PDF the export stops with the error:
    "An error occurred while saving the book.
    There was an error creating the PDF file. "
    The same occurs (at the same book page) when exporting to BLURB
    "An error occurred while creating the book."
    The creation or export always stops at the same page which is a two page spread. Interestingly there is a two-page spread before that didn't throw an error. I tried to move the problem page to the end of the book. That didn't help because the next two page spread in the book throws an error.
    Any ideas or help?
    Lightroom version: 4.0
    Computer: Windows 7, Quadcore, 8 GB RAM

    Hi, sorry I do not have a solution but I too have a very similar issue in that the book is the same size but the export to PDF does not start at all
    I have tried reducing the image dpi settings. Jpg quality and still nothing
    The only success I have had is if I duplicate the book, delete all but 8 pages and then export at full dpi settings of 300 and 100 percent jpg quality
    Any more pages and nothing
    It's a great tool and would buy it if this feature actually worked. Oh yeah I only have the trial version at the minute to give it a good thorough test
    I have looked for solutions but like your query they are all unanswered
    Does adobe actually offer any support or is this all user solutions?
    Did you find a solution by the way?

  • Book Module: exporting from Lightroom as a 2 page spread

    Hello Lightroom people,
    I have begun to create my albums in the lightroom book module, and I am about 85% happy with it. I have one major complaint, and I'm wondering if it can be corrected:
    My album company wants me to submit my album pages as two page jepg spreads. For example, if I am making a 10" x 10" book, rather then submitting pages 1 and 2 as two 10" x 10" jpegs, they require a single, 10" x 20" jpeg that is then printed as pages 1 and 2.
    When I export from lightroom, it exports instead as single pages (to use the example from about, two 10" x 10" jpegs for pages 1 and 2). I've noticed that if I design a 2 page spread--then it will export that the way I want it, but obviously no album can have all  2 page spreads.
    My work around for this is to import the jpegs in photoshop and lay the pages together the way my album company likes, but this is somewhat time consuming.
    Is there a setting in the book module I am missing that could correct this?
    Thanks,
    Ellen

  • Exporting from the book module as a jpeg spread?

    I just spent half a day designing my first book in LR 4. I completed the book a few minutes ago, and it was only then that I realized I don't seem to be able to export as a Jpeg or as a spread--only as a PDF, and then only single pages, so each spread is chopped in half.
    Can this really be true?If so I am beyond disapointed. LR is supposed to be a pro tool and this book module seems to be acting more like a consumer tool. If I am correct, then the entire module is basically useless to me and I have wasted half a days work, as I'll have to begin all over again in a new program.
    Can someone please make my day by proving me wrong? This is just such a letdown!

    Thanks--I am on LR 4.1, and I do now see the ability to export as Jpegs. YAY!
    Incidently, on the pages that I have used the 'two page spread' template, I am getting exports as a single spread. All others are single pages as you indicate. My plan, once the client approves of the design, is to import them into PS and manually past them together as a single spread.
    An extra step that I hope future versions of LR will eliminate!

  • Lightroom stalls on trying to export from the book module

    Lightroom stalls on trying to export from the book module to either PDF or Blurb. Progress bar at the top left just shows "Exporting book...rendering cover.untitled DNG". I have even tried a single page low resolution book but no difference. This happened in Lightroom 4 and still after upgrading to Lightroom 5. I have tried I have tried also unchecking all the background options.

  • Where are the  customisable layouts in the Lightroom 6 book module?

    I have just downloaded and paid for the Lightroom 6 upgrade. Blurb tells me I have over 100 customisable layouts in the book module. I don't, I only have 3 or 4 very basic ones. The Adobe TV videos talk about lots of customisable layouts. Where are they?

  • Book Module Export To JPEG Does Not Apply Sharpening

    I'm running LR4.1 on Windows 7 64 bit with 5D MK ii raw images and just discovered the Book module 'Export Book to JPEG' produces files that do not have output sharpening applied.
    Book = JPEG
    Size = Standard Landscape
    Cover = Hardcover Image Wrap
    JPEG Quality = 90
    File Resolution = 300 ppi
    Sharpening = (Every setting produces the same results)
    Media Type = (Every setting produces the same results)
    When selecting 'Book = PDF' the sharpening is very obvious and is applied as expected based on the Sharpening setting:
    Glossy Low = least sharpening
    Matte High = most sharpening
    Maybe I'm doing something wrong since I can't find a single post in the LR forums where this has been raised, but maybe not!
    Can anyone help out or verify?

    Are we looking at printed or screen proofs here?
    Not that I have an answer for you but sharpening might not be visible on screen if that is what you are comparing. Sharpening for print should differ for print processes from sharpening for screen. The 'print' sharpening, presumably for inkjet although it should be for offset, will be related to final image size, so viewing on screen at a potentially different size and resolution might be obscuring what would occur in a printing process.
    I can't verify since I am still using LR3.6.
