  • Why am I unable to change text color from black in LR5 book module?

    Why am I unable to change text color from black in LR5 Book Module?

    I'm assuming you clicked on the color patch besides the word <Character> to open the color picker window.
    At the right side of this window there is a vertical bar that has 2 horizontal black lines at the bottom.
    This is actually a slider. Pull it upwards with the color picker and color will appear in the window.

  • How do I align photos in the Book Module on a page?

    I've been looking all over the place, but could not find it.
    When I'm in the book module, 4 picture per page, pictures not fully zoomed it, I can move the picture. But I have found no way to move all pictures the same way or to align them somehow. I have noticed that padding will change the position as well, but it is applied AFTER I moved the picture.
    On a page that I created I have thus no way to align the pictures with a slider, unless I move them on the screen and align them by eye ...
    Hopefully somebody can help me.
    Thanks!

    No. Unless there is some sort of photo management app in the app store, there's no way to alter this order on the phone.
    On second though, you might try a batch rename in iPhoto (or whatever you use) so that the photos, when in the order you want, are also in alphabetical order. Then perhaps the iPhone will sort them alphbetically.

  • Book Module Lightroom 4 -- can I use a color picker to pick a color from a photo to use as the backg

    I am trying to match a background color for a page in a Blurb book using the Lightroom 4 Book Module.  Is there any way I can use the color picker to pick a color from the photo to use as the color for the background and as the type color?  I see the color box for these situations, but the color picker only seems to work with the color array that pops up and doesn't go to the photo.  Any suggestions?  Am I overlooking something very obvious?

    It works for me.
    The usual Lightroom way: click the eyedropper onto the color palette first, then hold and drag to your photo to sample color.

  • Too Easy to delete a book's content in Book Module?

    Is anyone else finding it too easy to delete -- by accident -- the content or layouts of a book you have been working on in the Book Module?  It has happened to me once and I am now very unsure of how to keep it from happening again.  I have begun making copies of the book as I progress -- which can be useful for other purposes, but doesn't answer the question of if there might be a better way for the book module to work in this respect.
    Don't get me wrong -- I love the book module already and it is worth the price of the upgrade just for that.  But I want it to be perfect!
    P

    I suspect it said all the folders would be recreated, not the files. Once you have imported, you must delete in RoboHelp in the same way as any other topic. Otherwise how does the database it maintains know what you are doing?
    If the book is going to change again, maybe linking would be a better option.

  • My (saved) book totally disappeared from the Book module in Lightroom

    Dear +Adobe Photoshop Lightroom,
    I have been working for the past 100 hours or so on a 200+ page book in the book module in LR4.
    Went to work on a second book that I had just begun to organize and came back to a full filmstrip (including the usage numbers showing me that all of the images had been used including a tiny 2 for a cover image) and the 4 blank pages we all see upon starting a project.
    My entire book was gone. Poof!
    I'm surprised you didn't hear my scream all the way in San Jose.
    This couldn't be...I had officially saved the book several weeks ago when I first began it and had been working on it steadily ever since.
    (For the record, I am working on a Mac OS X v10.7.5 and updated LR to v4.2.)
    I can't begin to tell you the sick feeling over losing this amount of work.
    I went to your LR forums to see if this was unique to me (Did I inadvertently hit a button I shouldn't have?)
    I have always felt very confidant in LR's "saving" and "backup" abilities. Now I am devastated and have lost total confidence.
    Do I try again in LR or move to another program?
    So a friend helped me find these:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4303611
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4322352
    (Which I've read very thoroughly and tried everything suggested.)
    When I opened my most recent backup of LR, all the text was missing and many of the images were in color (this is a book of monochrome imagery)
    Huh?
    When I went into my Time Capsule backups, same thing.
    No text and many images were reset to original RAW files as if no post-processing had been done.
    Huh? (Again)
    The thing that is genuinely unsettling is Adobe's lack of response to the issues expressed in the forums.
    Surely the book making ability is an important one to your audiences?
    Did I mention how sick I am over this?
    So my question is this...can you help me? Can anyone there help me?
    Because I really need help right now and don't want to lose confidence in a company that has always provided me with the tools I make my living from.
    Or should I put this out publicly.
    Right now I want to scream "Do not under any circumstances make a book using the book module in LR 4 until this devastating issue is addressed!!!"
    (Fortunately, I have over 2,000,000 followers here on Google+ but not to worry...many do not speak English or know Adobe as anything more than material used to build huts.)
    I am trying to stay reasonable. But again, I am very concerned over the lack of responsiveness on Adobe's part. Perhaps that will help get this problem addressed. Or more importantly, help a few other creative folks avoid how absolutely devastated I feel right now.
    (Big *******' sigh)
    Please respond. Please.

    It states in the iBooks Store that this book can only be read on an iPad or Mac.

  • Font smoothing in the Book module

    Hi everyone,
    I use the Book module and export the resulting pages to jpeg files. Any text (text field, page caption, photo caption) is rasterized when zooming to 1:1 on the exported jpeg file. The pattern on the font edges is sharp without any smoothing (only black or white pixels, no shades on edges). In the printed pictures one can still see this pattern, it is really ugly.
    I never saw this when usig photoshop or any of those simple online programs for preparing photobooks.
    In the "Book Settings" I set the same resolution as I use for printing by Blurb-like printing companies, e.g., 400ppi/dpi.
    Of course, the "solution" would be to set much higher ppi in the "Book Settings". But then propably the export sharpening does not work properly.
    Do you observe the same behavior? How do you solve it?
    Thanks a lot!
    OldA

    Yes, same here.

  • 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.

  • How can I turn off the price display in the Book module?

    I would love to use the book module to design wedding albums with my clients, but with my cost splashed all over the screen I can only imagine the negotiations that will happen over the price I'll be charging them!  What I need is to be able display the client price,  something allowing a mark-up percentage would be great, however for now I would be happy just to turn it off.

    John, with all due respect (and I do have the utmost respect for your opinion and your contributions here and elsewhere) that just doesn't stand the litmus test. Could you please pont out another Adobe authored application that is so restrictive as to what can be exported. Or so restrictive as to document size and customization to the point where I must either use an outside application or wait patiently for vendors "to come on board" in order to achieve my desired customization? Other than Flash of course ... even then Adobe has gone to great lengths of late to make output from that app much more versatile with conversion options to other devices.
    Let's experiment with the other modules and see if your information about Adobe's methods for the Book module holds water:
    Develop Module:
    "Adobe have stated elsewhere why they initially went with Nikon (worldwide coverage, customer profiles) and that there are mechanisms for other camera makers to come on board."
    Print Module:
    "Adobe have stated elsewhere why they initially went with Epson (worldwide coverage, customer profiles) and that there are mechanisms for other printer manufacturers to come on board."
    Web Module:
    "Adobe have stated elsewhere why they initially went with Internet Explorer (worldwide coverage, customer profiles) and that there are mechanisms for other internet browser developers to come on board."
    Slideshow Module:
    "Adobe have stated elsewhere why they initially went with WMV (worldwide coverage, customer profiles) and that there are mechanisms for other video file options to come on board."
    As I have shared elsewhere, when I want to design a custom size for a book in Aperture 3, I simply select Custom, type in the dimensions and margin sizes and procede to lay out the book. Once completed, I can export the book to the favored vendor (Which could be Blurb for all I know), export to PDF, Export the pages or spreads to TIFF or JPEG ... and all this in one of those terrible restrictive, limiting and "closed" Apple software options ...
    I'm sorry, but the Book module in it's current form is almost a total non-feature for many users. Adobe simply got it wrong. I expected much more from them and was willing to pay for it. Half-measures are not sollutions. Unfortunately for Adobe, I only invest in sollutions not more workarounds.

  • Change cell size in book module

    I would like to change the cell size in the book module, not altering the cell padding which just adjusts the size of the photo within the cell, I want to edit the actual cell.  Is this possible?

    I believe that Cell Size is fixed for any of the template pages in LR.
    However if you choose the "Full Page" template, you can unlink the "padding" sliders to size and position a cell where you wish, along with zooming the image size. But limited to only one image on the page!

  • How to change Page Text in Book Module?

    I am in the process of creating a 158 page photo book to be printed by Blub.  I have created many other Blurb books using their BookSmart software.  This is my first attempt using the Lightroom Book Module.
    My problem is I would like the change the default Page Text field on each page without having to manually change each page.  There doesn't seem to be a way to do a mass change.  There is a "Select All Text Fields" command under the Edit tab, but that selects all of the text fields, both Page and Photo text fields, which doesn't help.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated, include telling me there is no automated way to do it and I just need to "suck it up" and manually change all 158 pages with the same exact text.
    Thanks in advance,
    Rick

    Dear Detlev,
    Thanks a lot for your valuable answer.  I have found the text for the "User Authentication Failed" , done the changes and depoyed the Jar file . This is working.
    But the same when i try to do for  "Authentication failed. Password locked" this message comes when i do multiple failed login. I need to change the text , i found  the text in the u2022sap.comtcjesecurityimpl.jar file, i made the changes in the JAR file ,replaced with the server jar file and restared.
    But the changes did'nt get reflected. Can you please suggest if i am chaning in the correct JAR file?. I am working in NWDS7.3
    Can you please help me on this. Appreciate your help .
    -Regards,

  • Text in the Book Module of Lightroom 4

    To add text to the Book Module, you can olny paste, meaning that you have to have a separate word processor. Why can't the Text Tool of photoshop be added to the Book Module?
    Once I added text to the Book, I could no copy a complete paragraph, I was allowed to copy one line at a time. 
    This is just feeddback from a few moments with the Beta version of LR4.

  • Lightroom 5.0 on Windows 7 - Photo Caption problem in Book Module

    Using Lightroom 5.0 on Windows 7, I have produced a 76 page book in the Book Module with multiple photos on most pages, but two photos were not showing their captions, and did not print same in a proof PDF print run. I had the photo captions in the Meta Data, but have subsequently entered the pertinent photo caption via Custom Text from the left control panel, and also directly into the photo caption print box without success. I have changed the photo size, without a successful outcome, but when I did an auto cell fill of the photo the caption appeared within the photo, but disappeared when sizing was reduced back. I have exhausted all help avenues at this stage.

    Thanks for your input and efforts to assist. I have resisted removing and replacing, as the 1966 passport photo has a lengthy (approx 60) adjustments showing in the history, as a result of its age. Hence I think that I will just have tolerate these somewhat minor, I suppose, aberrations and just send it off to Blurb as is, as restoring so many old photos to a more presentable print status has taken me 3 months as it is.
    I don't understand why this a problem. You are removing a page from the book and adding back again. You are not removing the photo from the catalog, therefore you would not loose you are adjustments. Books are just another way of rendering photos.

  • Chinese characters in Lightroom book module

    I'm pasting translations of Chinese characters into text blocks in Lr 4.3 and I am getting a high percentage of them showing incorrectly as a square block with an "X" through it. They paste just fine into Notepad. Any thoughts? Also, is the upload to Blurb of Chinese characters fixed in Lr 4.3?

    The \ key will hide and show the header bar in the book module and the Create Saved Book button is at the right of that header bar.
    The outlined area is what shows and hides when the \ key is pressed.  Maybe you have a keyboard that has a different key for \?  On my keyboard the \ key is just above the Enter key.
    You can also use the View / Show Header Bar in the LR menus across the top:
    If this doesn't work, then can you provide a screenshot of your LR book module?

  • 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.
