Personally, I recently printed a book with Blurb and the result was acceptable (not top notch, though - CeWe are better).ĥ. In which case the result might be unacceptable and involve requesting a reprint. All subcontractors work with a unique standard ICC profile that they have to abide with (you can dowbload this profile and do some soft proofing against it). You don't even know in which country your book will be printed. I said 'usually' because Blurb delegates printing to subcontractors. I think that you'll find similar opinions about this problem. So, you have to be confident that what you see in Bookwright is not what you'll get. Don't even try to ask the Blurb support about this issue, they won't even understand your question. It's just uncomfortable to work with these ugly images. So you have to check your images outside of Bookwright in a color managed viewer (or in Lightroom itself - if the exported image looks OK in LR, it should be OK in the printed book). But the print will usually be correct (see #4, though). In that case, the colors displayed in Bookwright will be oversaturated. So, the colors you are seeing in Bookwright are not the colors that will eventually be printed, especially if you have a wide gamut display. Moreover, it absolutely ignores your display profile.

Surpringly enough, Bookwright is not color managed.

In Bookwright you can easily import photos from the Lightroom catalog.ģ. You'll benefit from much more editing features when using Bookwright, no doubt.Ģ.
