Yes, it is a bit annoying though that I can't upload the book once, with covers for all of the sizes I want to sell it in, rather than having to upload the 34MB file multiple times. Last year when I used booksmart to upload three years, it gave options for both hard and soft cover.

The template for the dust cover is bigger, for the flaps. When you follow the instructions for uploading an indesign book, it gives you a choice of formats, not the option for multiple. I don't think so anyways, I don't remember if I tried clicking multiple formats. > > Every book I've uploaded was automatically made available in hard cover > (dust jacket), hard cover(image wrap) and soft cover from the one file, > but I use Book Smart - does the InDesign method require two files?

A friend found a plethora of grammatical errors which will be cleaned up in the next version. I've got an interesting update on the earlier problems: The cover color issue is solved, once uploaded, the cover looks fine. In order to upload the book I had to open a whole new template, and copy all of the pages over. Doing so broke the formatting on the index pages. Candice is working with the CS4 version, so I sent her IDML files, she did her editing and sent me cs4 indd files back. When I import them into cs5 and export them to pdf the page sizes have been changed from 9.62" to 9.75" and I can't figure out how to make them 1/8" smaller. > -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Are your covers different for the two formats? Every book I've uploaded was automatically made available in hard cover (dust jacket), hard cover(image wrap) and soft cover from the one file, but I use Book Smart - does the InDesign method require two files?

I see you followed one :-) Naughty is a much better page companion for Liking than the thistle.. Whether or not it could be better still, I think that it's time to give up on polishing it and ship it. Looks great! And, yes, it's time to stop polishing and ship. Too much tinkering always spoils projects, I find. very true and I agree... it really does help at first , though, to have a bunch of input from list friends -- I felt I got lots of help with my Critters calendar too. Now start working on the *next* one! I already sort of have. I'm talking to musician friends about putting together a book of photos of musicians, in the hopes that that would encourage them, and their friends (or at least their moms) to buy one. The goal of those books would be more to get people who might pay me for gigs to see my work. I do have a question for Mark. I was working on the assumption that I want lightroom to produce the jpeg in the size to be used by the blurb software, rather than having blurb resize the photos. Was I correct? I don't know what Mark is going to say, but whatever you use I think the way to maintain total aesthetic control over the pages in any of these online book things is to make file take up a whole page to drop in, full bleed, to the pages - Nice thing about lulu over blurb is that you don't actually have to buy a copy at all for yourself if you don't want to... you can just download the pdf and proof it... it is a bit less expensive than blurb, too. I'd like to do another book as well, but not up to it just yet.

Lightroom would probably be better. I size everything in Photoshop, because I have the ability to select the resizing algorithm (bicubic, bicubic smoother, etc.) - there's no way of knowing what the Blurb software is doing and I don't think you can select the algorithm in Lightroom either. Frankly, for something as critical as photos for a book, I'd always do final editing in Photoshop rather than Lightroom. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

If I were to make a habit of this, I'd definitely try and get a copy of inDesign, or some other real layout software. If I had time I'd work on improving my process for optimizing my jpegs for the size I need. I expect that with a bit of practice I could streamline the flow so that I could almost just automate the process. I have some interest from some of the local musicians to do a book of photos of them. I'm most interested in using it as advertising to hopefully get some paid gigs out of it, rather than trying to get any income off the 10-50 copies I might sell as vanity photos for the musicians. But if each of them shows it off to a bunch of people, maybe some of those people would hire me for more profitable gigs. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
