Layouts in book module do not show

[pierrem27363333]

Am trying to construct a book for export to Blurb.

The video tutorial leads me to believe I should see all layout options on right panel under 'Auto Layout'

The only option that shows for me is 'Preset:'

Nothing about existing layouts, numbers of photos per page etc... None of that shows up.

Any ideas welcome.

IIRC- Lightroom may not come with any supplied Presets for Layout.

But you have some options-

Start by setting the Book Preferences from the Main Menu ("Book" only appears there when in the Book Module)

Then Click on the 'Drop-down' menu (^ arrows)  from the Preset Box and choose [Edit Auto Layout Preset]

You will get the Preset Editor where you can define how you want your book to "Auto Layout". Choose your preferred page styles for left & right pages, then Save the Preset with a defining name.

Note: There are many 'Drop-down' menus in this Editor to define your Preset.

If you are using Lr-Classic-v8.0 Note that some are having problems with the module not saving edits. Stick with v7.5 if you have not updated.

Hi Pierrem,

I hope you're referring to the layout templates for each page.

If that's the case, You can find them in the Page panel on right side of the book module.

Thanks,
