If you do that and later find an external USB hard drive suddenly becoming write protected for no apparent reason, let me know.

A number of suggested 'fixes' came to light and I eventually found one that worked, although a lot of users complained that the fix either didn't work for them or turned out to be temporary.

Re: PDML Photo Annual 2010: Uploading now
By the way: Even though the book is being printed by Blurb again this year, I designed the whole thing in proper page layout software (Adobe InDesign) rather than the dreadful Blurb BookSmart software. It made design and layout vastly easier while also giving many more options for overall design. Things like text flow between frames are worlds better. Editing and revising are a snap. Fewer headaches than last year, to put it mildly. The final pages are then exported as JPEGs and dropped into the Blurb software for uploading. Pretty cool. The only downside is that InDesign won't export JPEG files with embedded ICC profiles. Yes, in 2010 InDesign still won't embed ICC profiles in exported JPEGs (I'm assuming this will be fixed with CS5 this fall), so I had to add the ICC profiles in Photoshop. A quick Action automated the process. So we get a much better book design (IMHO) and easier workflow as well.

Mark, That's still considerable amount of work. Kudos to you for doing to! I was just curious: why didn't you use PDF? While I haven't looked at all the details, - Blurb seems to allow uploading PDFs. And InDesign (CS3) can embed ICC profiles in those.
