Book of Photographic Images

In the spring, I will be designing a book of photographic images; perhaps as many as 400. There will be one image on each page and limited if any text. I would like to made an index of the images, but will probably use page number; not sure yet.



I designed a small book of 16 pages and I am sure there is a better workflow than what I used. I just used one document. For the big book, I plan to use four documents; the book will probably be divided by seasons.



Here is my set-up at this point, with limited experience with ID: The image files are accessed through Lightroom, then to photoshop for resizing and perhaps some editing, then put into a folder and then 'placed' in InDesign.



No doubt that is oversimplified, so if anyone has suggestions and ideas, please tell me before I get too far down the path and then wish I'd done something different.

So far that seems right to me, but books are really very small part of what I do.



I think, though, that you'll have problems with indexing, or a TOC which I would think you'd want, without text, since those are text-based functions. You can put the text on a non-printing layer if you don't want it to show up in your printed book, but it will still be accessible to indexing and TOC.
