Books using iPhoto 6

I have successfully made books but I want to order 75 large soft cover copies of the one I have currently created. Because the quantity makes me nervous I have ordered one copy to check quality. Is this necessary? It is certainly an expensive way to check!

I'd definitely do this just to eliminate my own errors as well as those that the printing service or printers are likely to make.
Besides, if you have one master copy on hand that isn't stressing out the presses, then you have something to compare the other 75 with and be able to identify if the colors are progressively fading or something. What if 72 of the 75 printed with colors you didn't like? The master copy would prove that it's not the good 3 that need to be returned, otherwise you end up with an arbitrary standard. (*)it happens.
It's not unusual to miss something or even for some odd iPhoto service bug to show up between completing the book and seeing it all printed and delivered.
Hint: If you ctrl-click the area around the book page, you see a "Preview book" option that lets you preview the actual PDF being sent to iPhoto printing. This is a recent and very useful discovery for me.

  • I'm trying to do a book using iphoto 11 (9.4.2), but i don't get a low resolution warning. Why? and how can i get the warning., i'm trying to do a book using iphoto 11 (9.4.2), but i don't get a low resolution warning. Why? and how can i get the warning.

    I'm trying to do a book using Iphoto, but it no longer gives a low resolution warning like it used to in the older versions.
    I don't know why it doesn't anymore, (or maybe I have to add it on somehow??) but it makes it difficult to know how much I can
    zoom in on a picture and still have it be good printable resolution.
    Does anyone know how to resolve this or add the warning to the latest version of iphoto?
    Thanks

    With iPhoto 9 the low resolution for photos warning has been dropped. The only warning one will get now is for text that has overflowed the text box:
    As Larry suggested send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html to get it back. That's a big omission in my opinion.
    You can determine what your minimum resolution is for your images (if all taken from the same camera) by dividing the pixel dimensions by the size of the larges frame in the book which would be 8.5 x 11. If it's at or above 150 dpi you'll be above Apple's previous resolution warning limit.

    I'd suggest you ask this question in the iPhoto forums:

    First confirm that you can create a PDF file of your book as described in this Apple document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it. Post back with the results.

  • Can I make and order photo books using iPhoto on my iPad?

    I would like to make photo books for family and friends, but all I have is an iPad. Will it do the same thing?

    No idea - this is the iPhoto for Mac forum - read the Apple info on iPhoto for the iPad and ask questions in the iPhoto for IOS forum - https://discussions.apple.com/community/app_store/iphoto_for_ios

  • Trying to order iPhoto Book using iPhoto 5 - HELP!

    Having spent ages creating an iPhoto Book for my loved one for xmas, I couldn't order/purchase it! I have iPhoto version 5 (5.0.4) and message said I needed to upgrade to iLife (cost £69). Then some technician at local Apple Store told me I would also have to upgrade to Leopard in order to run iLife (cost £129) I currently run my iBook G4 on Mac OS X (10.4.11).
    This is turning out to be a very expensive gift! Is this the only way to get my Book? I am worried if I purchase these (can't really afford it anyhow) that I will loose the Book I have created (will it still be there?)..also having problems with my laptop anyhow (wont stay charged - have it permanently plugged into electric socket....and memory seems to be an issue also!)
    Any advice would be really welcome...I don't really understand what I should do!
    Thanks

    Thanks TD for this prompt response - which is much appreciated. I am a bit of a novice to say the least...so sorry if this is a silly question. Can I download iPhoto 06 or 08 via the internet or do I have to physically purchase a CD and install myself? Can't find Iphoto to buy on ebay and places like Amazon and Play.com seem to sell iLife software?
    What do you think? Thanks

  • I've created a Photo Book in iPhoto, it quits uploading halfway through.

    I've spent many days creating a Photo Book using iPhoto and now I'm ready to order it! But twice now it quits halfway through the uploading process. How can I figure out what the problem is? I was really looking forward to see this project as a finished product.

    Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.

  • Making book on iphoto

    Hi, I've created a book using iPhoto.
    However, the ribbon at the top of the screen (the one showing what the pages look like in a smaller version), shows a few pages that are blank.
    But when I made the pages (below the ribbon in the main part of the screen)they are not blank but have the photos that I chose on them.
    My question: If I ordered the book as it is, would I end up with blank pages? If so, is there a way to fix this? FYI, I have the latest iPhoto.
    Thanks for any help.

    Preview the book - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and the book will print like the preview (and Apple will stand behind that) - save the resulting PDF for reference

  • IPhoto books in iPhoto -  The new Photos program only has square photo books.  Will I be able to edit/order books with iPhoto after I upgrade to Photos?

    I have many photo books created in iPhoto.  These are rectangular shaped.  The new Photos program only has square shaped books.  After I upgrade to Photos, will I still be able to order books using iPhoto?  Or, will Photos allow me to edit books in their original rectangle shape, and order them?

    The new Photos.app will have the classic rectangular sizes as well.
    See the Preview.
    Apple - OS X - Photos Preview
    It only mentions the new square format, but the classic layouts are there as well, as the picture shows.
    But you may not be able to migrate the old book projects. Finish any current book project while still using iPhoto '11 and create new projects in Photos.

  • After making a book from iPhoto and showing it to friends, they now want one printed for them.  Is there a way I can share it with them so they can order their own or do I have to print it for them?

    I created a book using iPhoto and it turned out great.  So much so that when I showed the book to people they wanted to order one for themselves.  Is there a way they can order the book without me having to order them?

    You have to order it for them

  • Ordering Photo Book From iphoto

    I am finished developing a photo book using iphoto. However, the book only has 13 pages, and iphoto tells me I cannot order a book without at least 20 pages. My book is two-sided, so if I one-side it, it will be more than 20 pages. I see where there are options for one-sided pages, but I cannot tell how to convert an existing project from two-sided to one-sided. It would be a hassle at this point to go outside iphoto and use an internet vendor. Do you know how to convert 2-sided book to 1-sided?

    Move them in the page thumbnails so the even numbered pages are blank
    And before you order preview your book - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference
