[lightroom photo book] free cell sizing placing overlaping

it is possible to do that in print module!
I would like to have this opportunity in book module..
thank you

No, not possible with the book page templates.
Yes, it is possible to create the page in the PRINT module using "Custom Package" and 'print to' a JPG File - place this new JPG image in the book.

Workflow for building Photo book Page in Photoshop & Lightroom

I am working on publishing a Photo Book using MyPublisher and will be laying out each page in Photoshop rather than using their templates.
I need advice on the best workflow for accomplishing this task--here are some details:
1. Images are Imported to Lightroom, are Flagged, and adjusted with Develop settings (Cropping, Basic Panel, Paintbrush etc.)
2. I do add some capture sharepening to the image in Lightroom (not much).
3. Use the EDIT IN Photoshop CS6 with 1 or more images from Lightroom as SMART OBJECTS.
4. In Photoshop, I am changing the Image Size (sometimes upsizing for full page spreads) and resolution (everything goes to 300 DPI).
5. Doing more intense Creative Sharpening for each image.
6. I am using a variety of custom actions to layout pages with 1, 2, or 3 images plus text. I create a new document that is sized for the entire page (11.08 x 14.08 @ 300dpi for Deluxe Hardcover). I fill the background page with a custom pattern simulating textured paper and then layout the images for either a Left or Right Hand page.
7. Saving page as a Photoshop File and re-importing into Lightroom
8. Publishing the Photoshop Files as JPEGS with Medium Sharpening for Glossy Paper
9. Importing the JPEG of the Page into My Publisher as a single image the sive of the entire page.

I often use Photoshop to set photos in iPhoto books. I am not sure how Apple does the trimming of its books, but I have had no problems with edge trimming of pages whose photographs to go to the edge. There is no white to be seen. I haven't closely compared the original 11" x 8.5" photo with the one in the book, but generally the results look right.
In terms of working out the gutter for two page spreads for a 11" x 8.5" book size. I measured an existing book and found the physical page width to be 11" exactly. I measured the gutter to be 0.25". So that means using Photoshop to create the image size of 10.75" x 8.5". It seems to work okay.
Just interested if you have set a gutter, and if so, to what specification?

Re Photo Books – Elements 12 brilliant and serves all my need except Photo Books. Do I need to Buy the full version of Lightroom 5 to use the Photo Book facility?

Re Photo Books. Hi I have an old full version of Photoshop 6 and Elements 12. Elements 12 serves pretty well all my editing needs. It has a Photo Book facility but the Template is not brilliant eg It is clumsy adding captions. I have been looking at Lightroom 5 which seems to have a great Photo Book facility but do I have to Buy the full Light Room 5 programme to use it? If so, what is the cost?

Hi DJ,
Many thanks for your comments on the Adobe Forum about Photoshop for
Photo Books..
Following your suggestion, I have had a look at Blurb and it seems
pretty good and quite easy to use. Many thanks for this suggestion. I
have had a look around and I find there are many "publishers" and
although Blurb comes out well in many reviews, there are many others
also. But there is one big problem for me - they ALL produce BOUND Photo
Books but I want a flexible Photo Book where I can later add or change
pages! Nobody I have found produces a book where pages can be printed
separately to be added when and where required in a book!
I have posted another question in the Forum asking if anyone knows of
such a publisher - especially in the UK, where I live.
The reason I want the ability to insert pages etc is for a number of
reasons. For example, I am producing an historical Photo Book but if
friends send me photos of a past era, I want to scan the photos, put
them on a separate page and then insert that page in the appropriate era
in my book or I may later want to enlarge an old photograph already in
the book and insert the enlargement next to the original etc. etc.
I have printed some pages myself using Photoshop Elements, which was not
the ideal tool as I mentioned before, but when the A4 pages were placed
in clear plastic A4 pockets and inserted in my smart presentation Ring
Binder, the result looked brilliant. But I have hundreds of photographs
and I dread to think what the cost of ink would be if I printed them all
myself, let alone the time!
But I am beginning to think I may after all have to print them myself
and that, as I have several hundred or more, the cost of buying
Lightroom 5 may be worth it in the long run.
Anyway, thanks for coming back to me with your views regarding my
original enquiry.
With very best wishes,
Tony

How to select all photos placed in a photo book?

Dear friends,
while I can easily show only unplaced photos in the browser of an Aperture photo book it is hard to select just the ones that are used in the book. This would be handy to tag all used photos after finishing on the book or to export just thos photos as a backup.
Any help?
Thank you!
007_checker

Interesting, it would seem there would be a way to show all images used just as there is a way to show all images not used but I can;t seem to find a single button solution.
What you can do is:
Make sure no images are flagged, that is the Flagged album is empty. (you could use something other then flagged for this such as label color but flagged is easiest to explain)
In the book before placing any images select all images and flag them.
Now make your book.
When you are done adding images to the book switch the browser to show images not in the book. Select all the images show and remove the flag.
What is left in the Flagged album are the images in the book.
This is a bit of a kludge and as I wrote it seems there should be a one button solution (there might be I don't use books much). You might want to send feedback to Apple suggesting this feature. See Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback.

There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it.

I have a new Mac Book Pro. If I buy Lightroom 5 now, may I upgrade to Lightroom 6 for free ?

No one knows.
The usual Adobe policy in the past is if you purchase a version of Lightroom and within 30 days a newer version comes out, they will give you a free upgrade. The problem is, Adobe never pre-announces when the new version will be coming out. (And of course, Adobe could announce a different policy for Lightroom 6)
So, its up to you whether you buy now or wait.

Can a completed Aperture photo book be placed on a website for viewing by friends? I already had several copies successfully printed by Apple.

There is no direct web publishing of a book, sorry. But as a work-around: You can print your book to pdf - select it in the book in the Inspecktor panel and use "Print book". Then select the "PDF" buttun in the print panel and save a pdf file. Upload the pdf to a server for sharing (ftp, Drop box) and send your friends a link or place a link to the file on a webpage.

How do I undo clear placed photos - I have 'lost' 40 pages of my photo book

I used the clear placed photo icon and lost 40 pages of work ..
I have a complete back up on an external drive but I am not sure how to reinstate the iphoto data.

I have a complete back up on an external drive but I am not sure how to reinstate the iphoto data.
You need to restore the iPhoto library from your backup. By default yoour iPhoto Library will be in your "Pictures" folder and called "iPhoto Library.photolibrary" (in iPhoto '11). what is your iPhoto version and your MacOS X version?
What kind of backup do you have?
If it is a Time Machine backup, connect your TimeMachine drive and quit iPhoto.
Select your "Pictures" folder in the Finder, and with this folder the currently open Finder window enter Time Machine.
Then dive into the Time Tunnel and go back in time to the most recent date, when your Photo Book was still complete.
Select the iPhoto Library and press "Restore".
When you open iPhoto again, it should now show again all pages of your book.

How to change the picture frame size in Lightroom 5 Book

I would like to control the actual picture frame size when making a Book in Lightroom 5. Or else know the sizes of the different picture frames provided by choosing the different page layouts. That way I can either change the picture frame dimensions to accomodate each photo or change the image size to fit in the offered picture frame. I find that using the software as is winds up cropping the images in unwanted ways. Modifying the picture frame would be my preferred alternative. Appreciate any ideas

Hi again Tony,
I have been using Adobe Photoshop 7, Photoshop Elements, Perfect Photo Suite, Photo Studio, etc., changing Image size, placing a picture on a page and then, do a simple last minute size adjustment by using the arrows to stretch or shrink it in place. Things would be a lot simpler if I could do the same thing with the cells in Lightroom 5. Cell pad adjustments do not fill the bill.
I think we’ve pretty much concluded this exchange. Thanks again for your effort.

Photo Books and Sharpening

I'm unsure about how to approach sharpening of individual photos for my photo books. Here's the workflow I follow to print books at Shared Ink:
Import RAW images into Lightroom 2.
Color Correct/Sharpen images within the Develop Module
Export RAW images as Tiffs at max res and import into an InDesign template created by me. Inside of InDesign I resize photos to the desired size.
Create a PDF of the book and then convert PDFs to JPGS to be uploaded to Shared Ink. (They only accept JPGS from a program like InDesign.)
Here are my questions:
In step 3, when I export RAW images as Tiffs to place into InDesgin, what sort of Export Sharpening should I be using? LR has matte and Glossy, and then 3 strengths of sharpening. I generally print on matte paper so I know I could use matte.
When I finally decide on the size of my images within InDesign, do I need to re-export each image from Lightroom at the correct size? I normally include 100s of images in my books and it would take quite a while to do this.
Thanks, any advice is much appreciated!

When I export from LR2 and apply sharpening, do you recommend exporting at the full size and then sizing down in InDesign? Or would you recommend saving each image at the correct size from LR2 at the outset?
For the test, I would do a page or two each way. I think you will find that you can't tell a material difference and thus you can quit thinking about how time consuming it would be (and it would be horrendous in my opinion). So maybe your test is on 12x12 pages with a background image and three small images on top, one greater than original, one at original and one smaller than original. Then make a separate page for the following samples:
1.     Export the 4 images from LR with no output sharpening at original size.
2.     Export the 4 images from LR with Matt, Standard output sharpening at original size.
3.     Export the 4 images from LR with Matt, Low output sharpening at original size.
4.     Export the 4 images from LR with no output sharpening at approximately the sizes for the sample page (then use them at exactly the exported size).
5.     Export the 4 images from LR with Matt, Standard output sharpening at approximately the sizes for the sample page (then use them at exactly the exported size).
6.     Export the 4 images from LR with Matt, Low output sharpening at approximately the sizes for the sample page (then use them at exactly the exported size).
This should give you a good idea as to whether output sharpening has a material impact on books printed from SharedInk. It may not be a good test for other printing but that's OK. The idea is to find out what is best for this particular book process for YOU.
Keep me posted.

Lightroom 4/Lightroom 2 book

I'm a hands on person who has learned some computer knowledge over time. I have a digital camera and have had a beginning course in Photoshop. I have about 9 thousand digital photos filed, backed up, keyworded, etc... I've got a nice digital photo organization I've crafted on my own. I've been religious about keeping this up. I went looking for a cataloging program. I latched on to Lightroom a few years ago. I got the big Lightroom 2 book by Martin Evening. I have gone thru this book twice taking notes and now the third time around I am making progress toward really understanding Lightroom better. My question is, can I buy Lightroom4 and be able to know my way around it by my Lightroom 2 book notes? I have, so far, zero people to ask (unless here) if I run into problems installing and using Lightroom4. I do not have any Lightroom program yet. I would have to buy another computer for this. I have a job that tires me out and I do not have a lot of free time or money to call in questions if I need help. But I thought that Lightroom 4 could not be that different from Lightroom 2. Could I even buy Lightroom 2 or 3 if Lightroom 4 would be so different from 2? Thank You very much for any information on this.
Thank You Very Much,
Sandy

a lot changed from v2 to v4.
my advice is to buy a v4 book!
especially as the process versions change old workflows are not the best anymore.

I have created 2 photo books and would like to merge them into one. How can I do this?

I have created 2 photo books and would like to merge them together. How can i do this?

You can't just merge them. You will have to add the photos of Book B to Book A and add new pages to A to duplicate those in B.
NOthing was said about copying and pasting - you add the photos from book B to book a, add pages to bbok a and recreate teh pages in book a
Another way would be to print book B to PDF sending the PDF to iPhoto and then placing the pages as full page images in book A

How do you put text into a photo book?

I am new to Photoshop Elements, using Elements 11, and my first project is to make a photo book for a recent trip. I have figured out importing the pictures and titles. I want to include a 3000 word story on 3 or 4 pages. I have spent hours trying to do this. I thought I would be able to easily copy and paste from Word but that isn't working for me. I have retyping the whole thing in "Your Text Here". I can't seem to make it work. Pane sizing is an issue. Editing after I have typed several paragraphs. I am about to give up. I can't locate any tutorials etc on how to do this. I bought Elements 11 for Dummys and they might as well have skipped photo books. It was useless. Can someone give me some guidance please?

Try creating a new page template in expert mode.
File >> New >> Blank File
Select your page size height and width and background color and use 300 ppi for printing.
Then select the T tool, click top left, and copy and paste your text.
Save as jpeg and add it to your book as an image and use the bounding box to scale/re-size.
Note you may have to click inside the text area and add the carriage return as it’s not easy to justify text in elements.
I would suggest you first save as PSD that will preserve the text layer as a separate layer. You can then re-open the PSD file at any time e.g. if you decide to edit any of the text. Treat it as your master file and use it to save a fresh jpeg whenever needed.

Raw files in aperture photo books

Hi,
I'm creating my first aperture photo book. I uploaded raw files to aperture, made adjustments, and then placed the versions into the book. It is these versions (with all crops, adjustments, etc.) that will show up in my photo book, correct? (That's what it looks like when I preview the book, but I just want to make sure I didn't need to convert them to jpeg or anything before I spend over $100 on this book!)
Thanks!

When you create a version in Aperture it automatically creates a jpeg, so you don't have to do anything else. It is all automatic.
