Creating a Book Album
There are two main ways to create a book album:
 You can select a group of images and create a book album to hold the images.
 You can create a new, empty book album and then drag images from the Browser
into the album.
To create a book album from a selection of images:
1 Select the images you want to use in the book, then do one of the following:
 Choose File > New From Selection > Book.
 In the Projects panel, choose New Book From Selection from the Add to Library
pop-up menu.
2 In the dialog that appears, specify the following:
 Theme list: Select a theme in the list to see a preview of its design on the right.
 Book Size pop-up menu: Choose the physical size of the book.
3 When you’re ready, click Choose Theme.
A new, untitled book album appears in the Projects panel that includes the selected
images. The Book Layout Editor appears in place of the Viewer.
4 Rename the book album.
To make changes to the book album, you use the controls in the Book Layout Editor. For
more information, see the next section, “Controls in the Book Layout Editor” on page 195.
To create a new, empty book album:
1 Do one of the following:
 Choose File > New > Book.
 In the Projects panel, choose New Empty Book from the Add to Library pop-up menu.
2 In the dialog that appears, specify the following:
 Theme list: Select a theme in the list to see a preview of its design on the right.
 Book Size pop-up menu: Choose the physical size of the book.
3 When you’re ready, click Choose Theme.

5 To add images to the empty book album, select the project that holds the images in
the Projects panel.
The project’s images appear in the Browser.
6 Drag the images from the Browser to the book album in the Projects panel.
