LR4 - book Module - none of the custom formats?  Automatic layout works only on odd pages?  Bug reports.  Thoughts.

I'm a photographer wedding and Portrait Professional & thought it may be useful to others & Adobe to share some thoughts and questions.

I just ordered LR4 yesterday 3/7, as soon as I saw he is out =) I'll have the software delivered to me, but in the meantime, I downloaded the trial version of the LR4 which I started to play with today.  BTW is identical to the full version trial version but active only for 30 days?  Or some of its limited features?

I had a few questions about the book module.  Some of them I think that are bugs.

  • Is it possible to enter in custom formats?  I don't see that see there is an option for 5 sizes and impossible to find another option.
  • I tested the automatic layout function.  It automatically layout, but only on odd pages, even pages are left in white.  Could not find a way to settle this.  (Updated, I like the white page feature, it gives extra room for manoeuvre to change the page layouts and for me it's easier to delete a page that Add.)
  • When you add favorite layouts I can't add page spreads to my favorites.
  • When I press tab to get rid of the side windows, I can't scroll further down in the book.
  • The navigation on the left and right arrow buttons do not directly work in the main screen.

First impressions:

(after only playing with him for an hour)

It would be nice to have more control over preferences in the book such as the particular custom formats Module.  As it is, it feels unusually restrictive.  That said I am very excited by the possibilities that this may cause.  From now on I'd still certainly the final layout in PS, but I hope I do the initial design approximate layout using this new book module.  Looks like it could save a lot of time and be much easier to do this step in PS.

Data sheet:

Windows Vista 64

Trial version of Lightroom 4

Any answers would be more useful!  Thank you!

Let me first, I'm not an expert on ledger. Yes, I used it for a while, but many components of the module are much too dark for my taste. In fact, you have identified certain aspects that left me scratching my head for the months, not hours or days.

  1. Custom formats is not directly supported at the present time, but I understand that users will be able to create their own page/models using Adobe Illustrator. I can't say when this facility will be available well.
  2. To change a page layout (left/right pages, etc.), you need open the Preset automatic page layout editor. To do this, choose the form Edit Auto Preset layout from the menu editor drop-down preset (directly under the header Panel automatic layout)
  3. Have noticed this myslef, I don't remember if it is a bug or a design limit.
  4. Not seeing this problem, it works very well on Mac OS X. try clicking on the scroll bar to make it active, it may help.
  5. Yet once again, not seeing this problem, the left and right buttons in the main window of content move from one page to another.

It is also interesting to note, in case you have not discovered yet, preferences located under the menu book book. This is where you define what metadata are used to auto fill in the areas of text (for example, title or legend).

I expect that one or more of the other pre release testers who spent more time than me in this module will probably be able to fill the gaps.

Edit: I forgot to include the screenshot of the Prset automatic page layout editor

    This problem occurs because the Messenger service is disabled. The Messenger service must run on the destination computer to activate the NET SEND command.

    Because the service is already started, and you must restart the service, you can try to stop the service, change the startup type to automatic and start the service. Check if it helps.

  • Numbering of the pages in the LR4, book Module

    Adobe really miss out on an absolutely essential condition in ledger?   I finished my book, went to add page numbers to make the location index, but can't find anything that could help automate.  Should I really big finger page numbers?   If Yes, you must be a joke.   Books require a separate paging.   How could they be so ridiculous as to this important function don't miss?   I am disappointed.   I'll see if I can take the time to rebuild the book in the presentation text of bookify.  I will not revisit the book module until this is remedied.

    There is no automatic way at the present time. You can make the page numbering with a legend of the page field and custom text.

  • Using an image with transparency in the book module and keep the transparency?

    Hello.

    Let's see if I can explain my question, I'm not an experienced LR or PS user (and not in the English language)

    I changed an image in PS and cut out a part of it and pasted into a new layer and then adjust the opacity of the background at 0%.

    Then I saved the picture in PSD format and imported to LR to be used in ledger. When I then use the peak and attached to the photo book have a white background.

    What I want is that only the cutting part appears in the book and the rest of the area of the image is in the same color as the color of the pages (in my case clear yellow).

    Is it possible to do what I want to do and if it is, how?

    Is it possible to do what I want to do and if it is, how?

    You should be able to do this by building the PSD file layer of the same color as background color LR ledger. The key to making this work correctly is by matching the two background colors. In the book LR module background panels 'Background color' color picker icon, right-click in the color selector box, click on select HSB. In the PS use fill and set the background color using the STL values inside the book LR module. Color space ProPhoto RGB native of LR in PS helps prevent the background color to move within LR.

    Example for 59, 16, 93 HSB

  • Can I change in the book module in LR without or invest new layouts?

    Hello

    can I change in the book module in LR without page layouts or invest the new?

    Behind her, I always look for the possibility of transforming the text. I would like to be able to read the text on the back of the book from the bottom to the top and no reverse, as shown.

    Thanks a lot for your help

    Just a stupid crazy thought - could work with limits.

    Use "Hard Cover / dust jacket" (images print on the cover with this option? Anyone know?)

    Rotate images 180degrees. (Text would need to be incorporated into the image)

    Remove and replace the cover "upside-down".

  • How to make the custom format mask?

    Hi all
    I work in the application using Islamic Dates (ex: 01/01/1434).
    the data stored in the following format (ex: 01011434).
    to display the data I did the method java to format then in viewRowImpl, then pass the getAttributeInternal to the method

    public static String formatHijriDate (String val)
    *{*
    Try
    *{*
    Return val.substring(6,8)+"/"+val.substring(4,6) + ' / ' + val.substring (0.4);
    *}*

    *}*
    *}*
    ----------
    is there a way to make the declarative custom format mask to easy my task to put in shape Hijri dates?

    I recommend you use a converter instead (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E25178_01/web.1111/b31973/af_validate.htm#BABGIEDH). You just need to apply methods...

  • Models of very limited LR4 book Module

    I am designing an album in Lightroom for the first time and looking for very own page layouts with lots of white space for wedding albums.  I found a model with two vertical images that I liked a lot, but all the options available have some sort of funky black outline around them!  I can't believe that they understand not just one of the same thing without a contour.  They really need to have the opportunity to develop your own templates!

    I feel so frustrated by this, and it seems that other people experienced the same thing earlier this year from what I've seen online.  I love book Module, but it is useless to me as it is.  Anyone know if an update is planned to address this issue?

    That facility is not available at this stage and Adobe announce their plans in advance, but could I suggest you add your vote to this feature request: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/photobook_improvements

  • The Custom Format recording

    Hi all

    I'm looking how to save a document in a custom format.

    When registering a .tga I use:

    PSapp.ActiveDocument.SaveAs (output, tgaSaveOptions, psExtensionType.psLowercase, false);

    What I want is to save in a customized format that is not in the list of available SaveOptions.

    The format I want to save is a specific .tga: NW4C_TGA (file owner format) there several options specific to the economy of this format.

    When I save a file by hand in the display save as Photoshop dialog box, it displays the custom list format and I can select and configure the options.

    It's because I put the NW4C_Tga.8bi file in the directory of Plug-ins for photoshop.

    How can I access these custom by the script format?

    Thank you very much for your attention.

    Jeff

    You must install the plugin scriptlistner and see if it creates a code when you save in this format.

    Someone has this kind of experience, please share
    Apprecitate your answers

    Concerning
    SRH

    ? So basically you're saying is if none of the tables are changed then GATHER_STATS_JOB will not work, but I see tables are updated again the task does not run. I did > dba_scheduler_jobs request and the State of employment are true and regular. Please see my previous post on the output

    Am I missing something here, I get some parameters parameters

    So basically you are saying is if none of the tables are changed then GATHER_STATS_JOB will not work.

    GATHER_STATS_JOB will take place, and if there is no table in which there is a 10% change in the data, it will bring together statistics on this table. If no data in the table have changes less than 10 percent, it will bring together not statistics.
