Double Page Spread

I'm about to start work on a coffee table photography book. Several of the images are giant, beautiful panoramas and I'm trying to figure out how to place the images.

I'm aware that you can set it so that only double page templates are visible, but I prefer not to use those for single images because it makes it vastly harder for me to evenly space them out.

Does anyone have any advice on how to place my panoramas?

Thanks in advance.

One of my favorite spots in the park.

I occasionally would sit at the back of the ship with my bluetooth speaker and just enjoy the park to myself.

Also, fun fact. The ship is movable. It just takes one person to push it and it will move about 10 or so feet in either direction. Would have been cool to get like 8 guys and see how far it would go.

The Sentinel of Jazzland

This is Dave Studyvant (might be misspelling the name). He was a Security Guard in Six Flags New Orleans back when the park was open. He was our guide and friend during our time there. Genuinely good man and one of the only honest people in that park. They finally laid him off last year after over twenty years of service in that park.

Saved files losing photo data

So I've now used Affinity Publisher twice to create photography books. Or rather, I am working on the second one now. For some reason, every time I save my projects, they will lose data on images and I have to re-add the images. Its happened many times now.

Does anyone have any idea why this keeps happening?

I'm very close to doing a much larger book with many more images. I don't want to have to re-add 100 files every time I reopen the saved project.

Gone, but not forgotten.

As an old comic book fan, I loved seeing the 80s Joker logo on the ride vehicles.

This was the first ride they removed. They actually had to clear a path through what used to be a walking trail. The ride vehicles and the arms were cleared immediately. The Jukebox was left until the end of demolition.

Photography Book exporting artifact issue

So I build a book for my photography to sell online. When I go to export the PDF file, for some reason many of the images will have a strange artifact.Where it will look like the top half of the image is torn and bleeds into a random image from later on in the document. I tried exporting a single page from the book , but when I only export a single page , it doesn't replicate the problem.

EDIT: problem solved. The issue was the "rasterize everything" setting. After I turned it off, the pdf exported correctly.

New Publisher User

I am literally learning as I go. I created a 40 page document. Do those pages include the cover?

​

I'm assuming the cover will be a separate document, but i wasn’t sure.

Publishing a Professional Photography Book

I'm working on creating a photography book that would be available on Ingram Spark. I have Affinity Publisher, but trying to figure it out has been frustrating. I've looked at Blurb and Magcloud a bit. Unsure about either. If anyone has experience building books, I would appreciate any advice you could give me. Any tools or templates I should look into?

Trying to learn affinity publisher.

Hi y'all. I'm a photographer working on pitching a coffee table photography book to a publisher. To do that, I need to build the book as a pdf. To be frank, I am struggling. I'm not a graphic designer and I find this sort of user interface overwhelming.

If anyone has any suggestions for videos thar are designed for beginners or anything else that may be helpful, I would appreciate it.

Edit: i appreciate everyone who has offered advice, but my question was not about amazon kdp. I am well versed in printing options and drawbacks on different options. I'm not pointing this out to chastise anyone. again, I appreciate you trying to give me advice, but I keep having to repeat the same answers to a question I didn't ask. Thank you for trying.
