As we mentioned, start in the Library module and take
some time to choose the images you want in the book.
Make any alterations, then expand the Metadata section and
enter a Title for each of the images. You can do this after
applying the Book module but it’s often recommended to
make any alterations prior to running it.3
Scroll to the top of the book page, where you can see
the Front and Back Covers. You can click the left-facing
arrow to the very left of the screen and hide the Preview and
Collections pane, giving you more room to view the pages of
the book. Press the I-key to toggle the Standard Landscape
information message on and off.2 Once you’ve selected the images you want, click on the
Book module title from the top menu. If it’s the first time
you’ve clicked the Book module, it runs through some starter
tips displaying the various sections available and what you can
achieve with it.4 If you click to highlight the Front and Back Covers, you
can see that you’re able to zoom in and out for each of
the images; this of course you can do with each of the images
on every page that’s been auto-filled by Lightroom.Introducing the
Book Module
If you’re going to use the Book module, it’s best to invest some time
in the Library module first, selecting the images you want, making any
edits and sequencing them, i.e. laying them out how you would want the
book to be viewed.
