Lightroom book

I have installed Lightroom v 5.6 (latest) on my desktop computer and on my Laptop.  I have made a book. I get up one exclamation mark at the pictures and the text "this photo is offline or cannot be found. It will be omitted when you print your book» This I get on both the PC. Do not have the programs up and running at the same time.   I'm not offline and I have brought in the directory where the images are located on, which is in Onedrive. Is it not possible to use OneDrive, so I can pick up my book both from my desktop and laptop computers?  Can someone help me?

The "cannot be found" message means you have moved, renamed or deleted the photo (or the folder that contains it) outside of Lightroom. (Hint: don't do this any more)
In the Library module, the photo should have an exclamation point icon, as shown here in Figure 2. That same link has instructions on how to fix this problem, just click on the exclamation point icon and then click on Locate and find the photo.

  • 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?

  • My preview panel in lightroom book module has no "create save book button". Where is it?

    My preview panel in lightroom book module has no "create save book button". Where is it? Is there a workaround to save my book?

    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?

  • 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.

  • Adobe Lightroom Book was included for a select few.....

    A few people have been looking for a book that is included with Lightroom. Many people have stated that it does not come with a book.
    To clarify things, Yes, a lucky few of us did get an 80page printed booklet with our Lightroom called
    'Adobe Photoshop Lighroom - Getting Started Guide'. I just found the book in my ' Land of the Lost' book library of all the Adobe classroom in a book Books and after a bit of searching with info from the book, I found it at the Adobe website.
    Here is a link to this 80 pg book from Adobe for all the people that want a getting started guide for Lightroom, even better for people trying out he free trial of Lightroom. This appears to be an exact .pdf copy of the printed book that I received with one of my versions of Lightroom.
    http://http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/lightroom/pdfs/lightroom_gettingstarted_lo.pdf
    Download the PDF and enjoy.

    Hello Kelly,
    first, because you wrote that you "installed ..." a try to (un)install by own resources is not enough!)
    As strange as it may seem I fear it's now a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.
    Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
    I quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
    Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html  and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
    On the other Hand, in my eyes it's as you said, CC includes many other programs, please see Adobe Creative Cloud . Here a screenshot of some of my programms I loaded down to use in CC:
    If necessary and for further questions and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.

  • How can i export a blurb lightroom book layout into indesign?

    I've designed a book in lightroom in the BLURB layout. I want to export this layout into INdesign to finetune it. Any suggestions on how to do this?

    Hi Willi:
    Thanks for your prompt response.  Do you know if there are any scripts that can do this or at least help automate some of this process?
    Thanks!

  • Lightroom book upload to Blurb - "GutsSize error"

    Hi,
    I’m trying to upload my book (112 pages) from Lightroom 5.0 to Blurb for already 2 weeks. I have tried at least 15 times, without any success… I always get the following error message : “GutsSize error”. I don’t have any clue what it means.
    I can export my book as a PDF without any problem. I have also already tried to uncheck the “Apply background globally” option. And when I look at my book, I don’t see any warning error.
    I’m uploading the book from Belgium, with a fast internet connection.
    Any idea on how to fix this issue ?
    Thank you all !
    Vince

    Hi again,
    Just to give an update: I found the reason of the problem !
    The text on the spine of the cover was incorrect : there was an additional line, but invisible on the screen as outside of the text box. The error was just shown by a very little red square, almost impossible to see.
    I hope this can help people having the same "GutsSize" problem than me !

  • 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.

  • Lightroom book has been lost - using Lightroom 5.7

    I started a saved book under a Collection. As the book was getting large, I started another collection and copied a much smaller subset of pictures to the new collection and completed a book, uploaded to Blurb.
    However when I go back to my original large collection, it still has all the pictures in the collection but the book is now the much smaller book. Is it possible to retrieve the original larger book?

    Right-click on one of the other section headers. In the context menu that appears, make sure there is a checkmark in File Handling.

  • Martin Evening's Lightroom book

    Is now shipping from Amazon.

    What isn't old news is that I prepaid Peach Pit months ago for the online work in progress and hard copy and Peach Pit still has not sent my hard copy. It's pretty annoying that they are collectring money from new purchasers while not delivering the books to people who prepaid.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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

    Yes, there is always a workaround, though Lr was supposed to simplify the process, not create more work ... though if we were discussing having to export images ... THEN ... send them to a printer instead of printing them directly in Lr ... there would be much more discussion about the problems the Book module poses for many users ...
    If I must export images and use outside software to finish the job (InDesign or otherwise) I may as well give up Lightroom as a "workflow solution" ... I could get the same job done working with Bridge/ACR/Ps workflow ... however ... I bought into the paradigm of Lr being the answer for RAW processing to output workflow ... though Adobe seems to pick and choose which features they really care about ... If Adobe is going to include a Book module, and expect me to financially support the effort ... they could at least offer a module that is functional without being tied to a single vendor ...

  • Lightroom 2 Book(s) recommendations?

    I'm looking for one or two Lightroom 2 books.
    First I'm looking for a book (or even website) that provides a rock solid (fast, fast, fast) workflow. I'm reasonably proficient in Lightroom 1 - but am finding I have ever shrinking quantities of time to spend working with my images. Anything that can help save me even a few minutes everytime would be a god send.
    The more difficult problem. I would like a book that gives me a deeper understanding of the develop module. I have got a fair understanding of the basic controls (white balance, exposure, fill, highlight recovery, vibrance, clarity etc.). But I get lost when I'm looking at the Curves, HSL controls, ... - 2.0 has just made my life more complicated (in a good way). For Lightroom 1 I bought the O'Reilly Lightroom Adventure and its a good book, but I found the section on the develop module focused only the what. What effect does each control have? Good to a point - but I struggled to figure out when and why I would want to use the Curves (etc). Are there better books for 2.0? Martin Evening's book (http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Photoshop-Lightroom-Book-Photographers/dp/0321555619/ref=sr_ 1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1224266775&sr=8-4) gets great reviews but I've no idea about the depth in this area.
    Other candidates include:
    - Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 How-Tos: 100 Essential Techniques: http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Photoshop-Lightroom-How-Tos-Techniques/dp/0321526376/ref=sr_1 _5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1224266775&sr=8-5 - the table of contents doesn't not offer hope.
    - Lightroom 2 Professional Shortcuts: http://www.amazon.com/Lightroom-Professional-Shortcuts-Nathaniel-Coalson/dp/0470400765/re f=sr_1_26?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1224267851&sr=8-26
    - Adobe Lightroom 2 - The Missing FAQ: Real Answers to Real Questions asked by Lightroom users: http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Lightroom-Missing-Answers-Questions/dp/0956003028/ref=sr_1_15 ?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1224266775&sr=8-15
    What can you recommend? If you happen to be Martin can you tell me - does your book have alot of depth in the develop section?

    My experiences:
    Martins LR2 book is an excellent reference tome but doesnt teach me how to use the software properly.
    In his examples Martin will say things like As you can see I chose to modify XXX without ever saying why he thought this was a good idea or why you would want to do it. The screen shots are not very easy to read and dont clearly illustrate the points. I found the section on Printing both brief and vague. I gained the impression that Martin does not use LR2 for printing. Finally I also found the section on the new Adjustment Brush somewhat lacking. For example I could not find any mention of how to delete an Adjustment (Answer: click on the adjustment and press delete)and I still have not found a way of selecting a colour from the image.
    I found Scotts LR1 book helped me enormously in terms of workflow and how to actually user LightRoom. I had hoped that with Scotts LR1 book and Martins LR2 book I would have comprehensive cover but find I have had to order Scotts book in addition. Pity I didnt know about Daves imminent book.
    Finally a word of warning on the Martin Evening Book. Both on the back page and inside the publisher (Adobe) states that buying the book gives you access to the online version. This may sound good but the undocumented reality is that you only get this access for 45 days. I think thats pretty underhand.
