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.

Look at just about every photobook on the market and you'll see the use of stroke borders around images to isolate them from the page. So why is Lightroom 4 incapable of adding this feature in the book-create tool, and when is it likely to be added, do we think?

This would be the first option I'd add to Lightroom and books, just like in the 'Print' module.
Since it exists in the 'Print' module I think it's rather easy to implement in the 'Book' module.

Adding borders to photos is essential for a creative book. I hope this will be added in the next release

My desired specification would cater for your wish,too: you would set 1 colour for either the inner or outer stroke in your desired width, and leave the second stroke at zero.

I would like to see a facility to add a plain coloured border around individual images in Lightroom's Book Module.

I do not like mixing different page backgrounds in one book and would like to be able to add a plain back, or other coloured, border around some images as can be done in the print module. The creative border is OK but not what I am looking for.

I'm a bit disappointed the border funtion is not included in the Book module of the final release!

Please oh please add this in the next update!

Kind regards,

Hi,
a great feature for the book module would be the support for colored borders around photos.
Ideally, both color and thickness of the border should be configurable.

Kind regards,

Added a +1. Such a basic feature I was surprised when I didn't find it. Same capability is in the Print module so why not?!

I COMPLETELY agree with this feature request!!!! I am an Apple Aperture user and think that this is a reason to keep using Aperture. While I think LR Books is implemented very well I am really surprised this was not included.

Look at a page layout in Aperture with the borders.....it makes it look Soooooo much more professional.

PLEASE PLEASE include this in the final release!!!!
