P: Transparent overlay

Excellent! I've subcribed. I make video tutorials for Lightroom too, only they are russian 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/user/mengire/v...

That's by me. 😉

Thanks. The question is over. I found this video tutorial http://youtu.be/n20xOI6MeIs it explains all.

OK. But how could be a magazine layout in Lightroom, from Book module?

Here layout means the layout of a page - eg a magazine. The overlay is a transparent image for the page title etc, letting you shoot directly into the layout required for the page.

Could you please explain it in a little more detailed way? I don't understand what it means -- "Layout overlay for tethered shooting workflow when attempting to match a specific layout template was implemented in Lightroom 4"
I am not native English speaker though, but as a rule i comprehend well :)
"Layout" usually refers to the arrangement of pics and text on the page. What does it have in common with the tethered shooting?
Thanks.

As far as tethered shooting goes, what I'd like to see, is complete camera control.
I grabbed a trial copy of the Canon version of DSLR Remote Pro over at breezesys.com.

Unfortunatly, it won't run on the Laptop I use for tethered shooting, Lightroom however, DOES.
So I had my brother-in-law install the trial on his Laptop, and had a look at what it can do.

I can set up everything from the Laptop.
eg. I go to shoot some small product photos, generally, I don't have to move the camera,
so I set it up on my tripod, and can from there on do the entire shoot without touching the camera,
(unless I have forgotten to turn off the auto power-off feature).

If I recall correctly, the only commonly used thing on the camera that cannot be set using the Laptop, is the zoom factor.

So what I'd like to see in Lightroom, is the SAME functionality as the DSLR Remote Pro software.
If it did have that, I'd even go out and buy it again...
...the moment my financial situation got better!

Thanks Benjamin - that helps a little on the AD side. Assuming LiveView remains a problem, what would help is if the second screen could be "locked" on the most recent shot so the photographer can review/shoot to the layout. Maybe there is some permutation I've overlooked but at present it looks like one use the second screen grid and choose the image to show on that screen - but doing so changes the main screen.

I tried Live View on my Canon 5DII a couple of times unsuccessfully and gave up. I'll have to try again. Is there a certain setting in LR or the camera I need to be aware of for LV to work?
