Title: Creating your own layouts in the Book module will be possible!
Post by: rvanr on January 12, 2012, 12:13:15 pm

One of the Lightroom engineers (LR_Kevin) on the Adobe feedback forum: "You will be able to create your own templates at any size you like, so a printer could publish a set of templates sized perfectly for them. You would install the templates, print your book to PDF, and upload the PDF file to the vendor directly. I'm working on documentation for template creation, but it needs a little more smoothing out before releasing it to the wild. :-)"

So no guarantee when, but at least it's coming!

There's an important difference here between creating a template and being able to make free form layouts.

What the LR person is probably referring to is the ability to create different page sizes with specific layouts.
I guess what this means is that the release version will have user definable page sizes that can be saved, it would be crazy to release it without that provision.

Exactly!!  There are already too many templates.  If I want to create a page with an additional text box, I don't want to have to create a whole new template to do it.  I truly don't understand why layout is so restrictive.
