I generally like to add a title to my photobooks, but again, this is personal preference and is completely optional depending on the situation.
To add a title, under the Caption panel, check Photo Caption. Offset will determine where on the image your caption will fall, so move the slider around to experiment with your caption placement. You can also use your spacebar to move the text around:. To change the font, color, size and opacity of your caption, scroll down to the Type panel and select from the dropdown menus.
I also used a gray color for my font, as opposed to stark white which stands out way too much. When it comes to details like font size, color, etc. Now, you are ready to start adding the pages of your book.

To add another photo page, just click Add Page:. I love them, my kids love them we flip through them often , and our guests love them too. They're beautiful and take up very little space but still contain hundreds of my favorite images from throughout the year. I guess this step is optional because you can work from your Lightroom catalog. Otherwise, you may find yourself paralyzed with indecision because of the sheer number of choices. Select any images that are meaningful to you, regardless of whether they are the highest quality.
After all, this book is for your family to enjoy, not prospective clients. You can select as many images as you want! You can select your cover type, page type and whether you want to include a Blurb logo page. I always pay a little extra to have this option turned off. This is based upon your choices and a standard page layout.
Lightroom has many pre-designed page options to choose from. From the book module , you have two options. The first is to select Auto Layout. One click and Lightroom will create your book for you.

Choose a font, style, color, point size, and opacity.
Click the triangle to specify additional typographic options, including tracking, baseline shift, leading, kerning, columns, and gutter. You can also specify horizontal and vertical alignment. You can apply a photographic, graphic, or colored background to the pages of your book. To add a background, do one of the following:. Optional Select Apply Background Globally to apply it to all of the pages of your book, except the covers, even if they are not selected.
Drag the Opacity slider to adjust the degree of transparency. In the Background panel, click the arrow and select a graphic background. Click the color swatch to change the color of the graphic, and drag the Opacity slider to adjust the degree of transparency. In the Background panel, select the Background Color option and click the color swatch to choose the color.
Select the page in the preview area. Select a cell. A bounding box appears around the cell.

Click the warning to see the resolution the image can print. Blurb recommends a minimum of ppi for best quality. For help with printing, pricing, ordering, and other Blurb issues, visit Blurb. Pause and Resume the upload of Book to Blurb.
