P: Exporting Blurb Book as JPEG fails if covers are selected

I am having a problem exporting a book to JPEG files in Lightroom Classic 13.1 - latest update.

I have created a Blurb book which exports succesfully to PDF but when trying to export to JPEG all it does is create an empty Folder with the filename I gave for the book.

Tried to have nothing selected, All images selected, One image selected and all give the same result no JPEG files at all.

Book type is JPEG.

However when I select no cover the pages of the book export okay but the cover page is removed from the selection after it has exported and when I click on the cover the images have disappeared and I am left with a blank cover.

This needs correcting to so that it acts properly and exports the Cover pages and Pictures if nothing is selected and the Cover page remains intact if you select no cover and then go back to print the cover later.

Given the information provided, I've been unable to reproduce the issue. The Classic team hasn't either.  Given that, its place in Discussions is still appropriate until either the reason is found for the issue, or better reproduction instructions allow us to promote this to a bonafide bug. 

An ask for a move to bugs is not a guarantee of a move. 


Just gone back to try and reproduce the problem but since it failed, I have added the two Cover Images back in it seems to work everytime along with all my other old books that I had from the previous version (Lightroom V6).

So I suggest that we can now close the problem as it seemed to have been a corruption which has now resolved itself.

Thank you for the quick response.

Does anyone at Adobe monitor this forum and do they ever respond with suggestions on what could be the issue? if not how do I report this bug?

Hi, thanks for the suggestion, however mine was never created as a Blurb book but was originally created using lightroom V6 as JPEG.

 

I was reprinting the book to bind it in hardback for a friend and while in print I noticed one of the photos has changed the crop when printed.

 

I will test your solution tonight when I get home.
