Creating Books with Lightroom’s Book Module

Creating Books with Lightroom’s Book Module

Learn to use the Book Module in Lightroom to create precious memory books as gifts. Or, gift yourself with a book to celebrate your own visual journey and share with friends, colleagues and family. 

Photographs can take us on a journey.  We will explore in depth Lightroom Book Module to create visual stories that we can then upload to Blurb’s website for you to make a book for yourself or to share with others.

Topics include:

  • Images that work best for books
  • Page design
  • Image layout
  • Adding text to pages
  • Exporting from Lightroom for Blurb
  • Options for Book sizes in Blurb
  • And more.....

This class includes 90 access to the online course with more than 30 videos (covering the same material as the classroom portion) which will be a great reference for reviewing.  

Prerequisites:  Familiarity with the Lightroom Library and Develop Modules. If you are not familiar with Lightroom consider taking the Lightroom in a Day class or the Lightroom Library or Develop Module In Depth.

Class Limit: 10
