Thanks, Boris! Cheers, Christine On Nov 17, 2012, at 10:37 PM, Boris Liberman bori...@gmail.com wrote: Wonderful book, Christine. The only suggestion I may humbly make is that you could've exported the book as a PDF file from the LightRoom so that you needn't have to take a screenshot of each individual page. I particularly liked the spread pages. Given the print quality of Blurb they should look especially good.

The book is completed and the Wilsons have received it--with enthusiasm I might add! Our collaborative process was as follows: 1) The Mitchells and Bob W. set up Google Doc pages, posted their photos at full size, then sent me the link. 2) I downloaded all photos and imported the photos into Lightroom 3) In Lightroom using the book module, I began the layout of the book--and saved the project. Don't forget to do that if working on a Lightroom book project. Very important. 4) I wanted to show the Mitchells and Bob a draft, so I took screen shots of each page, saved the screen shots as jpegs, created a web gallery in Lightroom, then sent the link to the Brits for feedback. They commented on layout, cover ideas, typos et al. 5) At the same time, I ordered a proof copy of the book, which helped a lot because I found even more typos after looking at the hardcopy. My only complaint at this point is blurb should offer a discounted proof copy. But anyway . . . 6) After looking at the first draft, which had no cover yet, Chris Mitchell suggested superimposing the cover with our text in the highway sign. That work was done in Photoshop Elements 10, which I purchased for the project, but I needed to get the application anyway with my switch from PC to Mac. 5) So, then I revised, uploaded to blurb, and I purchased the book. 6) I signed the book, shipped it off to the Mitchells so they could sign it, then Chris met up with Bob W. and he signed it. Then it was shipped to the Wilsons, and I'm happy to announce it's safely in their hands. The entire process was easy as punch. I was nervous because this was my first book, but Lightroom 4 makes the process so easy--really I was amazed at how easy it was. The only real hard part is finding the time to actually do such projects. I have lots of ideas now for gifts and my own work, but finding time will be the number one challenge. As the preview shows, we chose an image wrap cover, pro pearlline paper, and some elegant end papers. At first I wasn't keen on the image wrap cover, but to do the cover the way I wanted to and as quickly as I wanted to, the image wrap ended up the best choice, and surprisingly, I liked the result. I had a prejudice against image wrap, but I'm over that now. So, everyone's agreed to share our work, not to sell copies since this is a personal project, but rather just to share the result of our collaboration, which we are all quite proud of.

Re: Another example of PDML Anglo-American Collaboration-a blurb book!
Nice book Christine company. Now Lynn wants a trip to the UK! Thanks, Bob S.

Our collaborative process was as follows: 1) The Mitchells and Bob W. set up Google Doc pages, posted their photos at full size, then sent me the link. 2) I downloaded all photos and imported the photos into Lightroom 3) In Lightroom using the book module, I began the layout of the book--and saved the project. Don't forget to do that if working on a Lightroom book project. Very important. 4) I wanted to show the Mitchells and Bob a draft, so I took screen shots of each page, saved the screen shots as jpegs, created a web gallery in Lightroom, then sent the link to the Brits for feedback. They commented on layout, cover ideas, typos et al. 5) At the same time, I ordered a proof copy of the book, which helped a lot because I found even more typos after looking at the hardcopy. My only complaint at this point is blurb should offer a discounted proof copy. But anyway . . . 6) After looking at the first draft, which had no cover yet, Chris Mitchell suggested superimposing the cover with our text in the highway sign. That work was done in Photoshop Elements 10, which I purchased for the project, but I needed to get the application anyway with my switch from PC to Mac. 5) So, then I revised, uploaded to blurb, and I purchased the book. 6) I signed the book, shipped it off to the Mitchells so they could sign it, then Chris met up with Bob W. and he signed it. Then it was shipped to the Wilsons, and I'm happy to announce it's safely in their hands. The entire process was easy as punch. I was nervous because this was my first book, but Lightroom 4 makes the process so easy--really I was amazed at how easy it was. The only real hard part is finding the time to actually do such projects. I have lots of ideas now for gifts and my own work, but finding time will be the number one challenge. As the preview shows, we chose an image wrap cover, pro pearlline paper, and some elegant end papers. At first I wasn't keen on the image wrap cover, but to do the cover the way I wanted to and as quickly as I wanted to, the image wrap ended up the best choice, and surprisingly, I liked the result. I had a prejudice against image wrap, but I'm over that now.

Re: Another example of PDML Anglo-American Collaboration-a blurb book!
Wonderful book, Christine. The only suggestion I may humbly make is that you could've exported the book as a PDF file from the LightRoom so that you needn't have to take a screenshot of each individual page. I particularly liked the spread pages. Given the print quality of Blurb they should look especially good.
