Title: Printing a Canvas Gallery Wrap with Mirror Image using Lightroom?
Post by: uintaangler on November 09, 2014, 05:29:01 pm

I have always done all my printing right in the LR Print module
I just purchased an Epson 4900 and I am currently trying out my first roll of Canvas ( Breathing Color Lyve ).
Obviously, I won't be doing lots of Gallery Wraps using a 17" wide printer, but if I did want to try some smaller Mirror Image Gallery Wraps can the mirror image be done in Lightroom?
How?
Thanks,
Bob

No. You'll need a trip to PS or equivalent for the wrap.   - Jim

Thanks Jim,
As I said, I do all my printing using the LR Print module and as a total non-technie I find it easy to understand and use

Do the work in PS then print from LR.

Printing from photoshop, while more difficult than from LR, isn't all that hard. But doing the mirror wrap edges is a real chore unless you use a feature known as an action.  Actions are pre-written sets of instructions that you create in Photoshop and then run automatically by calling on them to run.  Some people have written actions to automatically add mirror images to the sides of your image just for this purpose.  Look for them here on Lula and with Google.  But photoshop definitely has a learning curve.

Hi,
In LuLa's video journal 19 there is a good demonstration and instruction on the subject by Andrew Collett.
