Recently, black lines appear above or below the image in the Lightroom Book module, which do not print but bother me when I am designing - see photo.
How can I hide these lines?

Thankyou Sean,

here is another question: 

do you know if there is a possibility to enter the subtitle into a preset - see photo?

I did think there was a way, but its been a while. Meanwhile, I've tested this: 

 

If you use an auto layout with Photo Text on, you can use the overview to select all the pages with photos. From there you can go to Photo Text in the Text panel and change from Custom Text to Caption or Title etc. Make sure it's only photo pages.

If you select Caption or Title, and have a caption or title entered in the Metadata panel in Library, it should show. 

I've only done schoolboy French and evening class Spanish, so my German extends only to ordering a beer I'm afraid. 


It doesn't seem to work, the automatic layout just puts in a placeholder which I can change then in the menu on the right - with Indesign it would work, but I don't feel like it!

My English is moderate, but I help myself with 'https://www.deepl.com/translator' -

in Prague you can order a beer with a nod!

Strange enough, the black lines suddenly disappeared again today.

Odd. Does clicking on the page and clicking on the grey border around the page toggle them on and off? I was trying to recreate the behaviour.

The lines appear arbitrary - see photo; I'm afraid I'll have to get used to it?!

Someone else had this last week too. The lines are probably just showing the edges of the file. Does it have transparency?

In fact, the lines show the edges of the file in relation to the frame; the transparency changes as the size of the file approaches that of the frame and disappears when the size remains the same. But I don't need this help, it rather bothers me.
