About this course

- Use the Collections panel to arrange the order of your images
- Design your book pages using the Book Module in Lightroom
- Add captions to your photographs
- Use and customise the presets in the Book Module
- Print an inkjet test proof of a sample page prior to final completion and sending to print
- Send your project directly to print using the Blurb plug-in within Lightroom.

As the goal of the course is to create your own book, you should ideally bring your own pictures (we recommended 10-40 images) to meet your individual project needs. Please bring your pictures to class on a memory stick (or portable hard drive – please note: PC formatted hard drives can be read by Apple Mac computers, but not written to.).
The costs of printing using Blurb are shown live within Lightroom as you specify and design your project. Please note that the cost of printing your completed book is not included in the course
