P: Add ability to have borders around pictures in the Book Module

In my Photobooks, I always add a thin border around my pictures.
I'd like to have this option in the Book Module.

The same options as in the Print Module (image settings - inner stroke chosing color) would be perfect.

Is there still no way to add a stroke border around a photo in Lightroom when making a Blurb book? Blurb's own program, Bookify, has such a feature and it would be sooooooooo nice to be able to do the same from within Lightroom. I'm using Lightroom 5.

Would like to add borders to lightroom 4 book module

Well, LR5 will cost me and then there will likely be something else of importance omitted and only available in LR6 at yet further cost. Adobe are kind of assuming that I'm going to stay loyal to their software.... My last post on this subject.

Just to set expectations, they can only add new features in full releases (and often sneak them into x.1 releases as long as they're in the same accounting quarter) so it's likely to be LR5 at the earliest before you get this request, sorry.

Well, LR4.2 popped up today so I D/L and installed it. Did it fix the "No stroke Border" problem in the book module? Hands up everyone who thought it did.... ah, nobody. Dead Right. Without this feature, for me, the book module is still a chocolate fireguard.

Please add the border option to Book module. It is a basic requirement, a must have option and a real BIG oversight by Adobe?

Oh that's ok. I'm getting used to Adobe glitches; like the one I've had since LR3 days where Lightroom allows me to 'edit' an image in PS Elements 9, loads PSE9 and then won't actually load the picture! Priceless! Issues like these one expects from 'interfaces' with 3rd party software... I can enjoy them just by sticking to Adobe products 🙂

Don't hold your breath. They very rarely announce new features in advance, and very rarely add them in dot releases (apart from x.1) so I'd be thinking LR5 at the earliest. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

The development team are curiously silent on the subject..... when might we get some feedback, do we think?

Where are the stroke options for photo cells in the book module of Lightroom 4?
One would expect this to be there, as it is one of the most basic photo effects which can enhance the look tremendously.
