How to add a title to the book cover/spine?

Hi,
appears to be a stupid question, but I couldn't find any answer in the Videos by JK o any other help page:
How can I add a title to he book cover and the spine of a blurb-book made in LR5?
I could not find any cover template having a title (only a lot of text).
Thanks a lot in advance,

I have worked with Booksmart and made one book successfully. I have also made a book in Lr 5.2 and had it printed by Blurb to my satisfaction.
Compared to creating a book in Lr the workflow in Booksmart is cumbersome and slow.
(1) During the creation of a book in Lr I test the book often by exporting it as a PDF. This option is only available when you select PDF instead of Blurb - but it is possible to switch between PDF and Blurb without harm. The only change is that the Blurb logo page disappears when PDF is selected. Viewing the PDF in Acrobat tells me what the book will look like in print since my monitor is calibrated and set to the correct intensity (brightness).  It also tells me if my sharpening is good. For the export to PDF I select 100 for quality; color profile sRGB; file resolution 300; sharpening High; media type glossy.
A Blurb representative told me that these settings come close to the settings that Lr uses when the book is uploaded to Blurb.
In Booksmart I can't export to PDF.
BTW you should sharpen the image so much that it looks a bit too sharp in your PDF. When the boook is printed the ink droplets spread out a tiny bit before they dry. This tends to make the print softer than it looks on screen.
(2) Booksmart is not color managed. Therefore in Booksmart you have no feedback how your book will look in print. If you want to test your images you have to softproof them in Photoshop.
(3) When I make a book I find often that my develop adjustments are not optimal. In Lr it is very easy to switch the the Develop Module, make the necessary adjustments and switch back to the Book Module. With Booksmart you have to export the adjusted image again - or it has to be re-published if you use the Blurb plug-in.
(4) In the past I have made complaints that Lr does not give enough flexibility for the layout. Since then I have worked more in Lr and I find the Book Module actually quite good.
I find that the full page bleed allows the most flexibility for creating my own layout. Starting with a full page bleed I use the padding feature to place the image anywhere on the page and in any size I want. The boxes for "Page Text" and "Photo Text" allow for more than one column. The text can be edited by adjusting Tracking (all letters are spaced wider/closer), Kerning (individual pairs of letters can be spaced), Baseline (letters can be pushed up or down), or Leading (the distance between different lines of text can be adjusted). There are no such features in Booksmart.
(5) Selecting a color for page background or for text is cumbersome in Booksmart. In Lr it's easy.
The cover of my first book in Lr looks like this:

    Hi James,
    According to BI 7.0 Version
    Steps of creating workbook and to insert more than one query in a workbook.
    When you run a query and it opens in Bex Analyzer you can click the save button and pick "Save as Workbook".
    Once you save it as a workbook Click on the "Design Mode" button in the Bex toolbar (looks like an A).
    Click in the sheet where you want the new query to go, click the "Analysis Grid" button. It will add the analysis grid to your new sheet.
    Right click on the Analysis grid and go to properties.
    Click on button to change data provider and select the query you want to attach.
    Exit design mode and you should be all set.

  • How to add a Title (slide? screen?) BEFORE the video track

    Hello,
    I'm very new to Adobe Premiere Pro and I'm trying to figure out how to add a title to my project but I don't want the title on the start of the video in the sequence. I'd like to add it to a black screen, maybe with some transition effects, that will play prior to the video starting. Do I need to create a black image in CS and add it as a still and just add the title to the still which I can position before the video/audio track A starts?
    I'm hoping that there's something I can do right within Premiere that will give me a place to put the title before my video starts. I didn't see an option to add a blank slide or something to that effect that I can add title to.
    thanks for your assistance!
    The more I learn the more excited I get, this software is great.

    Thanks for the link.. like I said in my post, I'm brand new to the software and I've been watching and following guides for hours. Time is not on my side, I have a project that must be done by the end of this week and I have very limited time after work.
    So when I have the head at the begining of my main track and click INSERT in the source monitor window it inserts a duplicate of the entire video so I have TWO videos in my sequence. This is clearly not what I'm wanting so I'm assuming that there's something I'm missing. I've searched google but don't see anything.
    I'm just looking to add a black, blank screen that I can add a title to before my video begins. I realize this may be rudamentary to season vets but as I said, I'm very new and trying to learn this all quickly and I would really appreciate if someone could point me directly to some information about it. I'm not afraid to read and learn, hell I love it, but I'm pressed for time so someone just telling me, "go learn the software" with a link to a huge FAQ, doesn't really help me.
    I've already learned a ton from some great guides but I have yet to have anyone indicate how to add extra footage (be it a still or blank video) directly from Premiere Pro.
    Thank you all for your time!
    EDIT: I think I figured it out... I just bumped the start of the main track up about 10 seconds and I added new item "Black Screen" right in front of it. I will add the title to this. Thanks all.

  • How to add new fields to the system form (Ex.expenses to a/r invoice form)

    hi
    can any one tell me how to add new fields to the system form (Ex.expenses to a/r invoice form)
    i want to add expenses field to system a/r invoice form and connect data base also.
    i used the code of samples\11.system form manipulation(vb.net) but i'm not able to get it....so can any one help with code or concepts.
    reply soon plz..
    thankQ

    If I understood you correctly, you are just trying to add new fields to the invoice form and then use them in your form. you should first go and add the field to your tables, which you would do by going to Tool --> User Defined Fields --> Manage User Fields. There are different documents or categories given. For ex. for invoices, Sales Orders you would add your field under the Marketing Documents. If you want the field to be just one per invoice, add it to the Title, otherwise if you want a field per invoice or Sales Order line, add it to the Rows section. Once you have done that then you can just create a edit box or drop down to represent the field and set the datasource for that to your field. If you want example code to do that, let me know.

  • How to add a powerpoint to the webpage. Many tks.

    How to add a powerpoint to the webpage. Many tks.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can use PP to make a movie of the presentation, or while viewing all the page's thumbnails do a Print->PDF->Save PDF to iPhoto. Then use the jpg files of each slide of your presentation in an photo page in iWeb like I did with this iPhoto book: iPhoto Book as an iWeb Slideshow. Of course this method will not include any music or animation you might have in in the presentation.
    There's also a Make a web page option which you might be able to incorporate into your web site using this technique: Embed One Site Within an iWeb Page.
    Overall, I think a movie would probably be the better option but do give the others a look.

    YOu can also use Bluefire Reader for reading books that need an Adobe ID. There are several ways to transfer a book to your iPad. One way is to email the acsm file, open the email on the iPad, and "Open in ... ". Another way is to use an app like Dropbox. The third way is to connect your iPad to your computer, open iTunes, select the iPad, and under  Settings select Apps. Scroll down to the File Sharing apps, select the app you want the book on, on the right select Add, navigate to where the book is on your computer, and select it. Open the app on your iPad and it should load.

  • How to create a title over the top of the left-most column in a cross-tab.

    This is one of those things that seems simple until you try it.
    I'm almost there.  I moved the cross-tab from the report header to the report footer so I can have a page title.  I tried using an overlay but it didn't work for any page past the first.
    I can't seem to figure out how to put a title over the left-most column though.
    Thanks in advance,

    I have used a text box, after you type in the text, select the box, and move it to the front.
    then select the crosstab and move it to the back.

    Refer the below code. This will fetch the document number.
