Step 19:
Once you make your two-page spread
template choice, the photo on the second
page moves to the next page and your
photo now extends across two pages, and
Lightroom simulates where the page break
will appear in the center of the two-page
spread. If you want to be able to reposi-
tion your photo on the two pages, you
may have to zoom in a bit, so click on the
photo to bring up the Zoom slider. Drag
the slider to zoom it until the photo size
looks good to you (don't forget to keep
an eye out for the resolution warning in
the upper-right corner of the photo, which
you get if you zoom in too far). Once you
zoom in, you can position your photo by
just clicking-and-dragging directly on the
photo (as I did here, where I clicked-and-
dragged downward to center the image.
I also dragged it a little bit to the left,
so the top of the Taj Mahal wasn't right
in the page break).
Note:
I know we haven't
covered text yet. I thought it needed its
own separate pages, so that's coming
shortly in the next technique.
Step 20:
At this point, I work on getting everything
into the final order I want, moving spreads
around in the Multi-Page View, so the
topic flows in the order I want (by the
way, the shortcut to get to this Multi-Page
View is
Command-E [PC: Ctrl-E]
). To
move a two-page layout, click on the
first page (the left page), press-and-hold
the Shift key, and then click on the right
page to select it, as well. Now (this is
important), click on the bottom of the
two selected pages—where the page
numbers are—then drag-and-drop the
two-page spread anywhere you want in
the topic. If you don't click in that lower
page-number area, it will think you want
to move an individual photo. So, at this
point, it's time to put the spreads in the
final order you want them by dragging-
and-dropping them into place.
