Lightroom 5.3 - Book

Hello,
I create a book in LR4 and submitted to Blurb to print. Fantastic.
When I upgraded to LR5, for some reason the book is no \longer in collections. I would hate to loose all the hard work. Is there a way to find it?
Thank you,
Mike

Without knowing your catalog structure/usage, it is hard to say. We would need more information. Presumably, you still have LR 4 and the catalog from which the book was uploaded and could recreate it?
Also, Blurb keeps this stuff on file. It is probably still at Blurb (in finished form - not editable, I fear).

  • Why does my book not upload to Blurb from the Lightroom 4.2 book module?

    I am trying to up load a 40 page 12" x 12" photo book to Blurb from the book module in Lightroom 4.2.  It renders the pages and then having rendered the cover gets stuck, about 50% to 60% through the process. None of the photographs are starred or colour coded. I have uploaded successfully from this iMac in the last few weeks.  I please advise.

    Hi
    I have had the same problem for a week. I have made about 25 attempts to upload an admittedly large book, and finally got one over to Blurb. The next problem is that some of the pictures are upside down! Blurb are referring me to Lightroom support as they say they only print the books. Some of the messages I got when trying to upload the books were general failure messages, but some said "problem with Blurb servers".

  • Lightroom 4.4 Book is gone

    When we save a book in Lightroom 4.4 and take our drive (where the images files and catalog are located) to another computer, the book, saved as a book in collections, is gone. Please help!

    I'm sorry, I have no help to offer and no explanation other than to say that - maybe - the bug has not been fixed completely. I know that this doesn't help you.

  • Can I get a Lightroom 5 Blurb book saved as a PDF on my desktop reloaded into LR to make edits

    I made a Blurb book with Lightroom 5 saved it (I thought) in Lightroom and as a PDF on my desktop.  When I got a print copy back from blurb I want to make edits.  When I went to find the book in LR5 there was no sign of it.  How can I upload the PDF version on my desktop back into LR5

    I don't think that would be possible. Once you exported the book as a PDF file, that file had all the edits, selections, layout, etc. "baked in" to the PDF, so you can't then reverse-engineer the file so it can be re-opened in the Book module. Also, as far as I know LR doesn't support PDF in the various modules - it can only be used for certain exports that are intended to be used elsewhere.
    Do you have previous catalogue backups? Perhaps the book is contained within one?

  • How do I import photos from iPhoto to Lightroom on mac book air?

    Iv'e read in several forums that to do this you must go into the finder right click on iPhoto.  Click show package contents.   This pulls up a file named contents.   All of the forums say to either look for a masters file or a original file and copy and paste it to the desktop. This is supposed to then allow lightroom to see the packaged file.   I can't seem to find either file.  Im not sure if its because the forum is outdated or if they just completely changed the name of the file with a newer update.   Either way I tried to do this with a couple of the files I thought might work i.e.. library, mac os.   Nothing has worked.   I am very new to using mac.  I just literally bought this computer yesterday so I really don't want to try to much blindly but being able to edit images with professional software is the whole reason why I bought it.    Pleases Help!!!!!!

    I just looked on my computer and it appears that they moved the folder location.  In Finder, go to the "pictures" folder and then right click on the iPhoto library and select show package contents.  I was then able to find a Masters Library with a bunch of sub folders that contained the files.
    I think the issue is that you were selecting the iPhoto application.
    Hope this helps.

  • Installing adobe lightroom on mac book pro

    Hi Im trying to install lightroom 3 on my laptop running on OSX Lion v10.7 and its not working.
    When I double click the lightroom 3 disk on my desktop and then double click the 'adobe lightroom 3 . pkg' it opens the terminal program
    and it says this in the box:

    Am I missing a step here? or is there a compatibility issue with Lion?
    thank you!

    Ianilan679 it should be associated with an application titled Installer.  If you get info you should be able to select it per the screenshot below.  Also once selected I would recommend clicking on the change all button.

  • Lightroom 4.1 problems with book publishing at Blurb

    I've done a travel book using the Lightroom 4.1 bookmaking function with Blurb.  This has been a major headache.  The book is large landscape (13 X 11 inches) with a hardcover image wrap.  It is 124 pages on Proline Pearl Photo paper.  There are 412 images.  Once the book was created I took the time to resize all images to their use in the book to keep the book file to Blurb under the 2 geg limit.  It turned out to be 1.1 geg.
    I created  the book in Lightroom without too much trouble.  Replacing each image with the smaller duplicate was a pain.  Unfortunately Blurb can't deal with my Lightroom 4.1 book file.  They've spent a significant amount of time trying to figure out the problem with this book file. With the book completed I tried to upload multiple times.  The images and pages uploaded ok.  It would then stall out and give a server communication error after 3 or 4 hours had passed. There are evidently some problems with Blurb and Norton, so I turned that off, with no success. I exported the book as a pdf file, trying to get around the server upload issues.  Unfortunately the only choice of pdf version in Lightroom is 1.6.  Blurb only works with X-3, so that did not work.
    After extensive discussions with Blurb individuals I exported the book as a catalog.  This was sent with the images and the .lrcat file to Blurb's drop box. 
    The information below is their email back to me after Blurb worked with the Lightroom book file.
    "Thanks for your patience.
    I was able to open your book project without any issues in Lightroom - unfortunately, I wasn't able to upload it to your account or even export it as a PDF or JPG. As a matter of fact, you had more success with it, as the files never even went through the render process for me. To troubleshoot this, I tried the following:
    - deleting the cover images/text and choosing a new cover layout.
    - deleting the first half of the book project.
    - deleting the second of the book project.
    - deleting all pages of the book, added 20 blank pages, removed the cover image.
    - renaming the project.
    - duplicating the project, then renaming it.
    After each of these, I tried exporting to PDF and uploading to Blurb, but I had no luck. Unfortunately, it seems that your Lightroom book project may have some sort of corruption in it and that your best bet is to contact Lightroom support directly from the link below. They should have more detailed information on helping you with this problem, as Blurb only handles the actual printing of your file.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/imaging/supportinfo/
    I'd be interested in hearing what you find out.
    I apologize again for the inconvenience."
    I appears to me at this point that using Lightroom 4.1 for book production is a lost cause, and it appears to be a Lightroom problem.  Do others have these issues also.  My plan now is to manually redo the book with the resized images using Blurb's own software.  This has been an painful education and my one major disappoinment with Lightroom.
    --Gerry

    Just got off Adobe Live Chat.  A quick summary is contact Blurb.  How is that for a run around.  This is a major disappointment with Adobe  support.

  • Lightroom 4 Beta to Final Book Transfer

    Hi,
    Using Lightroom 4 64bits on Win 7.
    I created a large book in Lightroom 4 Beta and would like to export it to Lightroom 4 (Final). I understand Lightroom is storing book as "special" collections so I would be happy to re-import a collection in Lightroom 4 - but ideally I would like to import the "layout" only and map photo files to my existing library - with locate pictures or something similar.
    Could you someone explain how we could migrate books from beta to final version ?
    Many Thanks,
    Jean-Philippe

    Exporting as Catalog and importing as Catalog works - however I end up with duplicate pictures in my main catalog.
    There is an option "Import collection only - no file" but it's greyed out, and it is not possible to "locate" files from my main catalog. So the book is in but I can't change location of files to my main catalog.

  • How can I hide the "Add Page Text" button in Lightroom 5 Book Module

    In Lightroom 5's Book Module, there is an "Add page text" button that appears when you are in either two-page or single-page view.
    More often than not, it sits right on top of my photo caption text causing that text to be unreadable.
    Is there an option to hide that button?

    If there is no specific reason that you have to use sendredirect...thne you can try request.forward.....
    RequestDispatcher rd = request.getRequestDispatcher("pathToResource");
      rd.forward(request, response);

  • How do I save a book in progress in Lightroom 4.2?

    Hi,
    Anyone out there using Lightroom's new book feature? I can't find where to save a book that I am in progress with in Lightroom 4.2. All help appreciated. Why doesn't LR have a "Save as" feature like 99% of all other programs on the planet? !"{}#@!!!

    Thanks for the reply - if only it was that easy. The "create saved book" option in preview is there when I first go to the Book module but it is no longer there once I am working on the book and want to subsequently save it. Where did it go and how do I get it back? Please help as this is most frustrating. Thank you.

  • Making photo books

    Since Lightroom lacks a book-making feature like iPhoto and Aperture, I wonder what others have used to make books and what you recommend. I'm aware of several online book-making services, like blurb.com.

    Ross,
    I use Yophoto in the UK. You download their small application, drag and drop your chosen images into the pages and that's it. There are many type of book option, page layout options available and even some editing options in the application and for the price the end results are really quite good. I chose the leather backed landscape book because most of my images are of landscapes and the page size of the book is better geared to maintaining the original format of my images. I found a lot of the competition had strange page size options - ok for snap shots etc but would have meant a lot of cropping and resizing had I taken this route. Delivery to Germany was also very quick.

  • Lightroom Photobook Templates?

    I have moved across from the Apple photo products - iPhoto and then Aperture - to Lightroom. Whilst I love the editing capability within Lightroom the photo book options are very limited. There are no preset templates and it is very time consuming having to 'design' a book and pages each time. Apple have a number of templates and pre sets which are very user friendly.
    Is there something I am missing in Lightroom which would make the whole experience more enjoyable? or any Add on templates which are available?
    Thanks

    I have also found the book module to be tedious. I prefer to export JPEG copies, and then use software provided by my book publisher to create the book. Then I have access to all of their templates and styles. The software provided seems to make more sense to me.

  • Using Lightroom and Indesign CS5

    Hi,
    I used in the past Indesign CS3 to create a book.  It went fairly well.  that was before I started using Lightroom, which now holds my complete catalogue, edits, etc.
    I've recently proceeded to create Collections in Lightroom for three books I want to start working on.  I just downloaded Indesign CS5 trial.  I am wondering if there is Lightroom support in Indesign CS5?  I'd really want to have the ability to import photos directly from Lightroom without having to export them in a specific folder to work in Indesign.  It seems to me it would be a waste of disk space since exporting files would simply create duplicates; no to mention I'd need to re-export them every time I would create modifications to the files in Lightroom...
    I think this is a feature that has been requested here and there from Indesign users in CS4?
    Thanks,
    Martin

    The point of RAW or DNG is, as the name implies, is to create the digital equivalent of a "negative". A format where the original camera data is preserved and can be "developed" later—the development settings are not actually applied until the file is converted. The advantage of the format is obvious when you take a shot with the wrong camera settings.
    There's nothing forcing you to use the digital negative workflow. You could shoot an image format like .jpeg and use LR for content management and ID's Mini Bridge panel for placing.
    There isn't much point in making CMYK conversions in PS—InDesign is capable of making the same color managed conversion on export or print.

  • Need a recommendation on using the book module ...having trouble with choosing the best template and adjusting text etc.

    Having trouble working with photo text box and normal page text boxes.  Cannot seem to consistently grab the handles of either and re-size.  Is there a good tutorial out there?
