【Lynda高精度字幕由CGSUB.COM独家发布】 While an automatic layout for your book in Lightroom can certainly provide
you with essentially a jump start, getting you quickly to the point of
having a basic book layout that you can work with, in most
cases I find that that produces a result that simply isn't creative enough.
I want to add a little bit of variation to
my page layout so that I don't have so much repetition.
And so, in most cases I will start off with a blank page layout.
So, I'll go ahead and click the Clear Book button up at the top of the preview area.
And then, I can start adding individual pages
based on a specific layout for each individual page.
Once I have pages added, I can then, of course, add images to each of those pages.
But actually, I start off with some pages that I can
work with, and those are the front and back cover, of course.
So, I can simply drag and drop an image from the filmstrip into my book layout.
In this case, dragging an image into the front cover, for example.
I can also drag an image to the back cover, but
at this point, I'm ready to start working on my interior pages.
And so, I'm going to need to add some pages to my overall layout.
You can see that I do already have page one, so if I'm ready to
start with an image for page one, I could certainly add that to my layout.
But now, I have just a single sheet of paper inside of my book.
I have the front page and the back page,
which is one sheet of paper front and back.
Obviously, I'd like to add some additional pages to this book because I
certainly have more images that I would like to include within the book.
And so, over on the right panel, I'll go ahead and change the page layout.
I'm going to click the pop-up here and then I can choose a different layout.
You can see that I have various categories,
1 Photo per page, 2 Photos per page, etc.,
and I can also use some of the various other options.
There are some Creative layouts here, for
example, some Portfolio layouts, Travel layouts, etc.
I'm going to start off though with a one-photo per page layout.
And specifically, I want a single photo with a little bit of text.
I think I'd like to have a horizontal image,
maybe a horizontal image with some text down below it.
And so, I can go through all of the various layouts here
and decide which one I think is going to work best for me.
In terms of having a single photo with some text below, you'll
find that option right here, for
example, among a variety of different possibilities.
And now, the opening page of the book includes some text,
so I could go ahead and type text there, for example.
But now I want to add some additional pages, so I'm going to click in
the blank area of my preview here so that the first page is not selected anymore.
And then I'm going to change that page layout option once again.
In this case, maybe I'll use a two-photo layout,
perhaps a pair of horizontal images, perhaps something like this.
And you can see that as soon as I choose that option, a page is added.
If I want to add an additional page with that exact
same layout, I can click the Add Page button once again.
Notice that, as I add additional pages, I may get an extra page, so to speak.
In other words, ultimately, I need an even number of pages,
essentially a front and back for each page within the book.
In this case, I've added several pages with the same layout,
but I could then switch to a different layout, of course.
I'll go ahead and select page five, in this case.
Maybe I'll go to a four-photo layout and perhaps choose this option, for example.
But the idea is that we can add additional pages as needed.
And then, of course, we need add photos to each of those pages.
And this is where I would tend to scroll through the filmstrip and perhaps try
to find images that sort of belong
together or complement each other in some way.
Here, for example, are a couple of somewhat abstract images of the hills
within the Palouse farming region of eastern Washington state, and so I might
put both of those on a single page so that we have the
two images essentially working together, very similar
images in terms of the overall concept.
Notice that as I add images to the book layout, a
number indicates how many times that image appears within the book.
In most cases, you probably want each image
to only appear once within the book, and so
if you saw a number 2 here, that might be a little bit of a warning indication.
Of course, you may want to include some images more than once.
I might, for example, include the cover photo both
on that front cover and also somewhere inside the book.
But the key is to be aware that we do have a count there
so that we know which images, for example, have already been included in the book
by virtue of the fact that they have a number there, and which images
have not yet been included in the book since they don't have a number there.
I can continue in this fashion, adding additional pages as I see fit, and then of
course adding images to those pages or even
changing the photo that appears on a given page.
If, for example, I were to add this image to one of the pages
here and then I see that the count indicator shows me that that image's
been used twice, then I might want to remove that photo from the page
or in most cases, probably just replace it with a different photo all together.
So, you can see by simply adding additional
pages and then dragging and dropping images into
those pages, we're able to, rather quickly and
very efficiently, create our overall layout for the book.
