Blurb - book without picture on cover

Hi all -
Does anyone know how blurb will print a lightroom project when there's no picture selected on te back of the cover? In my project i selected hardcover image wrap. On the cover of my book i only selected a picture on the front as i'd like to have the back white. Does anyone know what will happen if i print my book without having a picture on the back?
Thanks in advance! - Cheers, Job

What version of iPhoto? What happens when you drag a different photo to the cover photo frame?

Order book without dust cover

Hello,
I have iPhoto '08, in the past when I ordered a Hard cover 8.5 x 11 book via iPhoto it came with a canvas cover with the picture on the front. The latest book I ordered came with a dust cover and a picture on the dust cover by default. I was wondering if it's possible to order a hard cover book the old way, without the dust cover, or if books are only available with dust covers? If it is possible to order a book without a dust cover, where in iPhoto '08 is that setting? Thanks so much.

The books made with iPhoto '08 have a canvas cover and a full color dust cover - with '09 and '11 the books have a laminated cover with a photo and a matching full color dust cover - there are no options to not have a dust cover (you can throw it away after receipt)

I made a Blurb book through Lightroom 5, on another computer, backed it up on an external hard drive and tried to import it into my imac. I got the picture files, but could not get the book I had worked on. How do I find my book?

I made a 'Blurb' book using Lightroom on a computer that was not mine. I backed up the book on an external hard drive and then tried to import the book into my imac. I wasn't able to retrieve my book. The photos I used for the book project are there, but the 45 page book I made is not there.
What do I need to do?

You would need to go to the computer containing the book.
Select the saved book in the Collection panel.
Go to Grid View [ G ] and select all the images [Cmd/Ctrl][A]
File>Export as Catalog and store on media you can use to transfer
Bring this catalog onto your computer
File>Import from another catalog and bring the transitory catalog into your master catalog.
It should bring the images, your collections (including your book) and other settings into your own catalog.

Unnecessary page limit for Blurb book in Lightroom Book module

I'm posting this per Julieanne Kost's request following an email exchange regarding this topic. I am in the process of making a photobook using Lightroom and discovered when I reached page 240 that I couldn't add any additional pages, much to my surprise. I was surprised because I knew from Blurb's website that the limit for standard paper is 440 pages and mistakenly assumed that this limit would also apply within Lightroom. I did more research online and found many others being surprised by this limitation after spending hours and days on a photo book. I will likely work around this by exporting from Lightroom to .jpg and uploading to Blurb, but that will take extra time and effort and reduces the appeal of using Lightroom to create a Blurb book. I had also tried exporting from Lightroom to .pdf only to find that the .pdf format exported by Lightroom is not compatible with the requirements of Blurb.
My recommendation in the short term would be for Adobe to warn Lightroom Book Module users up front that Lightroom's page limits differ from those if going directly through the Blurb website.
My recommendation in the longer term would be for the Adobe engineers to make whatever changes are necessary in the Lightroom code to allow for 440 pages when standard paper is selected (and more specifically to make the page limits match the limits of Blurb's actual books). If there is any way to impress upon Adobe management the importance of this, I believe it would be greatly appreciated by many Lightroom/Blurb users.

I agree with that (though a 330 page Blurb book would break the bank :-)
I would also like to see the LR book module allow at least all the same Cover Templates as Booksmart does - I feel really constrained with both of them but much more so with LR...At least let us Drop a Full bleed finished cover on to the front and back covers!
Lately, I do all the page making in PS, move to LR to manage the page numbering and then export to jpg and ingest to Blurb to make my books...pretty kludgy, isn't it?

When using Lightroom Book module for Blurb book making, why do I keep getting a low image quality message if it's supposedly accessing my large raw files in my library?

When using Lightroom Book module for Blurb book making, why do I keep getting a low image quality message if it's supposedly accessing my large raw files in my library?

I think I've solved my problem with a Google Search. I came across a free slide show generator
(contributions requested) that shows much higher quality slide shows than either iPhoto or Aperture 3.
You click on a folder of jpegs and it almost immediately generates thumbnails and within a few seconds
I can be viewing a full screen, tack sharp, slideshow of all of the files in the folder. Much sharper than
I'm used to seeing.
I think I'll keep the Aperture 3 and use if for the purpose it's intended for in the future. I'll also redo the
image preview files to the small size it started with and then I'll copy all of the files I'm interested in from
iPhoto into a separate folder on another disk. I'll use Aperture to catalog and to perform image manipulations
on but I won't try to use it as an iPhoto replacement. I don't think I'll be using iPhoto much as an image
viewer in the future either after I finish moving my favorite pictures to the Phoenix Slides folder.
The name of the free program is Phoenix Slides. It's free to download and try, free to keep (though I
think you'd want to pay the small amount requested) and fast. My pictures have never looked so good
before.

Blurb book, exact dimensions 30 x 30 cm?

Dear experts,
I want to create and publish a Blurb book with Lightroom 4.3. I decided to use the 30x30 cm format. I created every page by my own design. Every page is one JPG-file (300 dpi), with pictures and texts. Which must be the exact dimensions of my JPG-files, so that I can put it 1:1 on a free, empty page in Blurb plugin in Lightroom? Thank you for every information!
Kind rgeards, Korjakski

I disagree that this is a Blurb limitation. As long as you work within blurbs specifiation they would not mind if I rotate an image, add a border or make sure that the frame dimensions actually meet my image dimensions as 3:2 or 4:3.
Of course I use other print-on-demand companies, but then the Book module is useless.
The best I can do is to set up a publishing service to my hard drive to issue the jpgs which I can enter into their proprietary book creation softwares. If I decide I need another development tweak, it is republishing. No means to get metadata like titles and captions across from my catalog.
The book module could have been specified in a very smart way, linking with the print module for template creation and refreshing this module at the same time, but it wasn't. Adobe's choice.
One that will be rectified, I hope, in LR5.

Blurb Book IN LIGHTROOM

I have created a book in LR. At some point I must have deleted the cover. I would like to add it back to the book but can't find a way to do it. Can it be done?

Blurb book precision layout with InDesign

I'm working on a photographic project which I want to end up as a Blurb book. I can use either Blurb's own BookSmart software or InDesign templates/a PDF export preset for this.
However, I don't think BookSmart will allow me to freely and very precisely place and resize photos where I want them, so I choose to use InDesign CS4 (Mac) for this. Here's an example of what I want to do:
I could resize each photo in Photoshop first, but I need to try out different sizes within the layout before comitting, meaning I probably need to do this in InDesign. And just dragging freely with the mouse won't do because I need to repeat the exact same layout for the next pages.
So how do I very accurately resize an image to say 7cm width and place the next one 1cm next to it?
And has anyone here tried designing book layouts for Blurb before? Any tips or suggestions for a Blurb newbie?

I didn't quite understand how to use it but it gave me some ideas to create a new master page myself.
It now looks like this (click on the image to make it larger):
I made two frames (for the pictures) to the correct size and placed a third frame in between to add space. There's also a frame underneath for text.
In case you're wondering, it's all about stereo (3D) pictures, and picture size along with the space in between is the key to getting it right.
So I'm trying to figure out what the most flexible and easiest way of experimenting with sizes/placement would be, before actually printing. I could of course go completely "analog", print out the photos in various sizes, cut them out, then place them next to each other on a table to try out with my 3D glasses, take note of what works in order to make appropriate adjustments in InDesign.
But allowing for flexible and precise adjustments in InDesign and/or Photoshop would be easier if it works...

We are creating a photo book and on the cover in the lower right hand corner there is part of the title. We did not create it and cannot find how to delete it. Any ideas.

Spine of lightroom blurb book

I am trying to make my first blurb book in LR 4.3. The type on the spine is going left to right instead of top to bottom. How can I change that?

Have you selected one of the templates for Cover?
When you select a Cover Template the spine is pre-formatted for top-to-bottom text.

Uploading blog to lightroom blurb book

Hi All,
I have a partial blurb book in my lightroom that I would like to add several blog posts to. Is this possible and how? I know you can do this with the blurb software but I seem to be having problems making it work with the lightroom version.
Thanks!

How can i print just one page of photo book without printing the entire book

how can i print just one page of photo book without printing the entire book

Jim,
Take heart. We can help.
First turn on page view so you can see how the content of your sheet fits on the page(s). A Numbers document contains sheets (listed on the left) which in turn contain tables, charts, text, and graphics. Select the sheet you want to print on the left, then enable page view by selecting the menu item:
"View > Show Print View":
Now you should see your content and how it fits on one, or more, pages. If thie content is too big for one page use the controls and the bottom left of the window to expose the sheet controls:
Here a table is too big to fit on one page:
slide the "Content Scale" slider so the content fits:

Can I create an apple id that my mother can use to download free books without using my personal apple id that I used when set her ipad up with originally?

Can I set up another user id that my mother can use to download free books without using my personal apple id that I used to set up her ipad with originally?

Other options:
Download the Amazon Kindle app and set your mother up with an Amazon account. Amazon has a lot of free ebooks.
Many public libraries allow you to check out audio and ebooks using the Overdrive app.

Is there a way to send an e-mail to everyone in my address book WITHOUT typing/selecting each address in individually?

My old e-mail address is going to be discontinued and I need to notify everyone in my Mozilla Thunderbird address book. Is there a way to send an e-mail to everyone in my address book WITHOUT typing/selecting each address in individually?

Bonjour zmerill
Yes it is possible and simple to do.
- In the compose window of TB, display the address books on the left
- select the adress book you want
- select normally the first contact (left click)
- while pressing a shift key, select the last contact (--> all selected)
- just under the last contact, use the button you want.
In an address book it is also possible to create a mailing list.

HT1688 I have an iPhone5, my boyfriend has a Motorola AndroidX. I can send him text messages no problem, but if he sends me one, with or without pictures, it never somes through. I have to do a "hard" shutdown on my phone in order to retrieve his text and

Help, I ehave iphone5, boyfriend has Motorola Android, I can send him texts, with and without photos, he receives them right away. When he sends me a text, with or without pictures, I get nothing until I do a hard shutdown of my phone and when it comes back on, messages older than 4-5 hours pop up. Sometimes they don't arrive at all and he is forcecd to use email.
Please tell me how to fix this problem. I have gone through Technical Support many, many times, resetting networks etc., trouble with voicemail, now getting text messages "blank" from Unknown. AT&T says it is there software problem. I have had so many problems since receiving this phone, on-going daily calls to AT&T.
Can anyone out there help me with the issue of being able to receive text messages from my boyfriends Anroid?
I can so use your help desperately.
Thanks,
Kathy Vega

There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage. There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.
