Adobe has not made many changes recently to the book
module so it is good to see it getting some more love. The new features
include:
New Book types – Blurb Magazine & Blurb Trade Book.
These are additional to the standard Photo books, providing less expensive options.
New Paper type – Lay Flat Spreads will enable a single
image to be spread across both left and right pages. Ideal for panoramas or for
combining with text.
Example of lay flat pages and standard pages with gutter
Example of double page spread with text
Customized Pages & Photo/Text cells - this is a much requested feature and I’m pleased that we
can now make our own custom page layouts and save them as favorites.
I have made a short video demo at YouTube:
Border Slider – this has been added to the cell panel. It
enables a solid border to be added to photo cells and for the color to be
changed using the color picker after clicking on the color chip to the right of
the slider, in the cells panel.
Pause & Resume upload to Blurb server – this enables
more control when uploading a completed book order.
This option is available through expanded Progress Bar.
