Uploading blog to lightroom blurb book

Hi All,
I have a partial blurb book in my lightroom that I would like to add several blog posts to. Is this possible and how? I know you can do this with the blurb software but I seem to be having problems making it work with the lightroom version.
Thanks!
-Laura

Have you selected one of the templates for Cover?
When you select a Cover Template the spine is pre-formatted for top-to-bottom text.

  • Spine of lightroom blurb book

    I am trying to make my first blurb book in LR 4.3.  The type on the spine is going left to right instead of top to bottom.  How can I change that?

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • I made a Blurb book through Lightroom 5, on another computer, backed it up on an external hard drive and tried to import it into my imac.  I got the picture files, but could not get the book I had worked on.  How do I find my book?

    I made a 'Blurb' book using Lightroom on a computer that was not mine.  I backed up the book on an external hard drive and then tried to import the book into my imac.  I wasn't able to retrieve my book.  The photos I used for the book project are there, but the 45 page book I made is not there.
    What do I need to do?

    You would need to go to the computer containing the book.
    Select the saved book in the Collection panel.
    Go to Grid View [ G ] and select all the images [Cmd/Ctrl][A]
    File>Export as Catalog and store on media you can use to transfer
    Bring this catalog onto your computer
    File>Import from another catalog and bring the transitory catalog into your master catalog.
    It should bring the images, your collections (including your book) and other settings into your own catalog.

  • Blurb Book in Lightroom 5 on my Mac disappeared after 3 days of work. Where can I find a backed up copy via Time Machine or anywhere else?

    Welcome to the WD Community.
    1) I assume I can  just hook the unit up via USB to my Mac and use iPartiion to reformat the drives, assuming each of the 4T drives will be seen by iPartition as a separate drive. That much seems straighforward.
    Yes, and in case you ipartition dont see the unit properly, you can use the disk utilities on your Mac and you will be able to reformat the unit to make it compatible with your system.
    2) Is my next step to reinstall the WD software and how do I do that? I've downloaded the Drive Utilities and Securities install apps - I assume I just run these with the drive still connected and that's all I need to do?
    Yes, just run the applications.
    3) What about the firmware update for Mac - when should I run that??
    Normally, firmware updates are released to fix any issues that you might encounter on the drive. the latest one was released on 9/24/2014 and it fixed an issue with the drive dropping off of the list after system wakes up from standby mode. 
    5) And what about the "My Book Live Duo Setup" app for Mac - is that for a completely different model? What's the difference between "My Book Live Duo" and "My Book Duo"? It's these little things that I find so confusing. 
    Those are different units. The MBL Duo is a NAS (Network attached system) and the My Book Duo is a DAS (Direct attached system)
    6) Lastly, when I have all the software installed, is that when I follow the procedure described in the Knowledge Base article ID 5724, "How to install a My Book Live or My Book Live Duo on Windows (8, 7, Vista, or XP) or Mac OSX for the first time"? Or is that procedure only for "My Book Live Duo" but not for "My Book Duo"?? 
    That procedure is for the network units, not for your drive.
     

  • 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.

  • Blurb Book IN LIGHTROOM

  • Warning. Blurb books. Questionable business practices.

    I have twice ordered books through Lightroom's Blurb service. Blurb is offering two delivery models. A standard one and one which should deliver faster but at a much higher price. Both I used the stadard and got a fast delivery - prior the fast delivery dates!! That means, if I had payed the fast delivery fee, it would have been for nothing but for the pocket of Blurb. I find this marketing/business model unacceptable. Adobe should do something about that with his "business partner"

    We are not Adobe here in this forum, we are Lightroom users.
    You should notify Adobe of this, and see what their reaction is.
    Agreed! Plus, it was Adobe who decided to deal with Blurb and only provide that company for uploading directly within LR for book printing. This isn't like Apples products whereby they control everything (upload, printing etc) so if you have a beef with that part of the product, you have a beef with Apple. In this case, Adobe has somehow entered a partnership with Blurb and they should hear from their users how that partnership is going.

  • Got My First Blurb Book Delivered Today

      I’m impressed with the print quality and color rendering. The monochrome shots using the LR B&W treatment are also very good.
    I uploaded from my DNG’s directly the LR4 Book Module.
    I used a variety of background colors for pages.
    I used some of my own graphics as backgrounds.
    I used a variety of page templates including a double page spread.
    I checked the uploaded preview on the Blurb website before adding the book to the shopping basket and whilst the images looked over sharp on screen, I decided to trust the LR rendering.
    Considering I was not initially over impressed with this new feature, I’m now a convert.
    The book took only a few days to print and appears to have been shipped from Eindhoven in the Netherlands to the UK. It was sent by UPS and arrived in London next day.
    I was sent a tracking link, and even had the option to change the delivery date, if the suggested date was not convenient.
    All in all a very good service.
     

    nice, good to know the service works.
    Thanks for the feedback and your experience. Maybe I'll try one and see what it looks like.
    Wifes' birthday coming up, plenty of photos of her horses....
    cunning plan

  • Blurb book, exact dimensions 30 x 30 cm?

    Dear experts,
    I want to create and publish a Blurb book with Lightroom 4.3. I decided to use the 30x30 cm format. I created every page by my own design. Every page is one JPG-file (300 dpi), with pictures and texts. Which must be the exact dimensions of my JPG-files, so that I can put it 1:1 on a free, empty page in Blurb plugin in Lightroom? Thank you for every information!
    Kind rgeards, Korjakski

    I disagree that this is a Blurb limitation. As long as you work within blurbs specifiation they would not mind if I rotate an image, add a border or make sure that the frame dimensions actually meet my image dimensions as 3:2 or 4:3.
    Of course I use other print-on-demand companies, but then the Book module is useless.
    The best I can do is to set up a publishing service to my hard drive to issue the jpgs which I can enter into their proprietary book creation softwares. If I decide I need another development tweak, it is republishing. No means to get metadata like titles and captions across from my catalog.
    The book module could have been specified in a very smart way, linking with the print module for template creation and refreshing this module at the same time, but it wasn't. Adobe's choice.
    One that will be rectified, I hope, in LR5.

  • Blurb Book Rendering

    Major issues with rendering a book to Blurb from Lghtroom 4.4.  I have printed this book once a couple months ago as a test. Everything as perfect.
    Now that I'm ready to order the final book a good portion of my images seem to be offline and not rendering even though not one image is has been moved from it's original folder or is giving me a red exclamation point as a warning.
    While rendering the book to Blurb it is stopping page by page, image by image and I am having to re-open, re-upload, and re-color edit the images one by one. What is happening? I need to send this 64 page book to print today. Has this happened to others? Please help!

    Information that would be helpful in finding the issue(s):
    1) What image file type are you using and what do they look like inside the Library and Develop Modules (i.e. missing)?
    1) Was the Blurb book created in LR4.4 and you now have LR4.4, or did you update to LR4.4.1?
    2) OS version
    3) Where are the image files stored: Local hard drive, external hard drive?
    4) What exact procedure are you using inside LR to send the book to Blurb?
    5) What happens when you try the 'Export Book to PDF' button in the lower left-hand corner?

  • I almost complete uploading a 32 page iPhoto book, on a number of occasions when I get an error message stating "An error occurred uploading your order" can anyone tell me why and provide a solution please?

    I am having problems uploading a photo book from my MacBook Pro!!! I almost complete uploading this 32 page iPhoto book when I get an error message stating "An error occurred uploading your order" This error message has occurred for each of my four attemps to upload. I have carried out a Disk Utility-Verify hard drive check and swapped from wireless to ethernet and still no joy. Can anyone suggest why this might be occurring and provide a solution please?

  • 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.
