Lightroom Blurb Magazine interior cover

I am trying to make a magazine for a photography project and I am having an issue with background colors and the inside cover. I have the global background set to black and on the all the interior pages it shows the black background. However on the inside of the cover I cant get it to be anything other than white. I really dont want the background pages of the magazine to clash with white interior covers but I am not sure how to get it to work.

Correct answer Rob_Cullen

Never made a Magazine, so testing I find the same. Global background color does not apply to inside covers.

Try a workaround-

1) Add a PHOTO Cell to the inside covers

2) Drag the corner handles to Expand it to cover both the entire inside covers.

3) Place a BLACK IMAGE into the photo cell. (Now you see totally black inside covers)

4) [Right-Click] the 'Black' photo cell and [Send to Back]. (Take care not to select other template cells!)

 

EDIT:  You will need to change the TEXT color!  (eg. White Text to show on Black image 'background')
