Fonts for iPhoto book

I would like to use a special font in my iPhoto book (hardcover large size). When I Preview the book, the font shows up as it should, but I'm not sure if it gets embedded in the document sent to Apple when you go "Buy Book" or not.
Also, books are generally printed only in sets of 4 pages (4 sides). Mine comes to a number that is a multiple of 4, but the dustcover and outside cover are included in that number. Will Apple automatically insert white pages to make up the difference? or should I add 2 more pages?
Thank you for your help!!

Preview your book before you place your order. In general, what you see is what you get: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040

As long as your book is within the Min/Max number of pages listed here, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3412, whatever you see in iPhoto is what you will get in the printed version of the book (as far as number of pages goes)
Hope that helps.

  • Low budget image proofing for iPhoto book order

    Hello!
    I want to prepare my photos the best I can for iPhoto book ordering (Christmas present for family).
    I have a Dell U2711 attached to a Mac Mini running OS X 10.6.8 and iPhoto '11 9.2.1. and a Canon Selphy CP520 dye sub printer which I thought to use as a precheck of what my JPG sRGB images would look like when printed in a book.
    Here's my headache:
    If I set up the monitor and calibrate the display profile as suggested in post #1 under this thread then such setup makes me color correct the photos by RADICALLY pushing the midtone slider in the levels adjustments to the left (brightening the picture). Prints that come out of the Selphy under this setup are a perfect match to what I see on the monitor and that is wonderful. However, I hesitate to order a book using such images because they appear far too bright on an iMac for example. (Perhaps I should mention that Google logo in Safari looks like its on steroids in this setup).
    On the other hand, if I set up the monitor as it came from factory (PC gamma, standard preset), and use the default DELL U2711 display profile in SystemPreferences, then pictures look relatively ok on screen without any radical color correction. But prints that come out of Selphy with this setup don't match what is on the display, prints are too dark, and again I hesitate to order a book with such images.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.
    Mato

    Yes - don't try so hard and use your Mac and iPhoto - not a PC
    iPhoto is designed as a consumre level program for point and shoot comeras - many people (including me) report excellent results using it that way - load sRGB photos form a digital camera and do minimal processing on them - never do major color adjustments - using iPhoto - preview rthe book -
    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.
    and order
    Apples comments on this are here
    Of the negative comments posted here nearly all of them were from people who spend lots of time and energy adjusting photos trying to second guess the printing process and failing to do so - Apple does have an unconditional sastisfaction guarentee - do it the simple way - less is more in this case

  • How can i install more korean fonts for mac book pro

    Hello
    I recently purchased mac book pro.
    Where and how can i install more korean fonts for mac book pro?
    thanks guys.

    Do you really need more?  OS X comes with quite a few already: Gungseo, HeadlineA, Nanum Brush, Nanum Gothic, NanumMyungjo, Nanum Pen, PCMyungjo, PilGi, AppleGothic, AppleMyungjo
    If so, just do a google search for korean unicode fonts.

  • HT5072 What is the default font for I-books author. I believe it is Helvetica 14. thanks/marv

    What is the default font for I-books author, the one brest to choose so that book is readable om an i-pad. Is it Helvetica 14? How about the paragraph pf text that introduces each chapter (it is a larger font, I believe) Thanks.

    It depends on the template and the part of the text.  Just click your mouse on the text and you should see the font name in the format bar at the top.

  • Changing fonts in iphoto book very buggy

    When I tried to change either the font or font size on the cover and it OK, all fonts throughout the book changed. When clicking on return to default all fonts changed again, but not to the original default font........help.

    I found some strange behaviour when changing fonts in a calendar I was producing. I found that clicking on the +Page Design+ button, which reapplies the default design for a particular page, fixed the problem for me. Annoying, though!

  • Print quality / resolution for iPhoto books

    Hi -
    I am getting ready to upload my first iPhoto book for printing, and a colleague told me to beware of a potential issue. After searching these forums, and searching Google, I found that people in the past (perhaps prior to iPhoto '08?) have had print quality problems when printing 8.5 x 11 books vs. 6x10 books.
    Basically, we are creating an 8.5 x 11 book and will have several books printed by Apple. At some point in the future, we will make similar books at the 6x10 size. Will the photos that are included in the books print at similar quality?
    Thanks -

    I have ordered books in the past that were made up of photos 1600 x 1200 pixels in dimension and they came out fine. HOWEVER, I had no pages with a photo filling the entire page as Larry warned about.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Jpeg size for iphoto books?

    Hi, have found that some of my jpegs are to small in size to print properly for books. Does anyone know what size is best for making books?

    The best size is as large as you can get. iPhoto will
    Default DPI Settings in iPhoto 7's Preference File
    BookTargetDPI - 300
    BookTargetMediumDPI-300
    BookTargetSmallDPI - 300
    BookWarningImageDPI - 180
    PrintImageDPI - 720
    PrintWarningImageDPI - 140
    So if the photo you put in a frame will be printer at less than 180 dpi you'll get the warning label. A photo might give you that warning at a full page frame but will be OK in a 2 photo/page frame. I've have photos print with that warning and they looked OK. What are the pixel dimensions of your smallest photo. The smallest I've used is 1600 x 1200 and created a whole book with that size. I did not have any full page photos however.

  • Custom page layouts for iPhoto books- bleeds and type

    I've been digging through the forum for info on creating custom page layouts. I have the basics: print PDF (to capture the page BG and graphics elements), manipulate in PhotoShop and place the custom page as a full page photo.
    How does iPhoto deal with bleeds? Since I'm trying to recreate the style of the other pages I'd like it to match.
    Is all type in an iPhoto book rasterized? The printed PDF retains type. Will rasterized type in PS layouts match "native" text in iPhoto?
    I haven't purchased a book yet and I'm wondering if the book is sent to Apple as a PDF with vector data. If that's the case can custom pages be inserted into the PDF with vector type intact?
    Thanks all!
    rg

    gatz:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I don't know much about bleeds but you can manipulate it in the iPhoto preference file with Pref Setter.
    Regarding the rasterized type, you'll have to give it a try and then create a pdf of the book to check it out. In iPHoto 5 we used to be able to get a copy of the pdf file that was uploaded to Apple but in V6 that's not possible. I think the pdf file may be the same as we get when creating it via Print to PDF. Here's the info I received from Apple about book quality and materials:
    I contacted Apple and asked for information that I could pass on. Here's the reply I received from Apple:
    "Thank you for contacting the Apple Print Products Customer Service.
    I understand that you would like to know the printing process that is used and the color mode the files should be in, so you can better advise users in the iPhoto forum.
    iPhoto version 4 or later, allows you to import and print files through the Apple Print Product service as RGB, grayscale, or CMYK color space. JPEG files with RGB color space are recommended for best results.
    While iPhoto 2 can import files of various formats, including RGB color, grayscale, and CMYK, this version requires JPEG files with RGB color space when printing photos and books.
    For more information regarding iPhoto 2, please visit the following article:
    iPhoto: Color, Black and White Prints Appear Garbled or Distorted
    For more information regarding iPhoto 5, please visit the following article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=165501
    Here are some of the technical specifications for the books, cards, and calendars. I hope this gives you an idea about their quality and form.
    BOOKS
    All iPhoto books are printed using acid-free paper for long-lasting image quality. The photos are printed at a high resolution (300DPI if you use iPhoto 6). There is no external modification--such as sharpening or contrast adjustment--of the photos; what you see in the application is what is printed in the book.
    Hardcovers Books
    The cover is hard-bound and covered in linen. You select the linen color during the book-ordering process. The hardcover books have a solid, stiff binding that is glued and crimped. The internal pages, measuring 8.5 x 11 inches, are printed on McCoy 100# Text Gloss paper stock.
    Softcover Books
    The softcover books come in three sizes:
    - Large 8.5 x 11 inches
    - Medium 6 x 8 inches
    - Small 2.6 x 3.5 inches
    All of the softcover books have internal pages that are printed on McCoy 100# Text Gloss paper stock. The large softcover book has a white cover (Kromekoteplus Folding Cover, 16 point) with a cutout on the front that reveals the cover-page photo in the book. The covers for the medium and small softcover books have the cover image and title printed directly on the cover. All of the softcover books have a glued binding and feature a thick cover of McCoy 100# Cover Gloss paper stock.
    CARDS
    All cards are printed on McCoy 120# Silk Cover paper stock. The postcards measure 4 x 6 inches, and the greeting cards measure 5 x 7inches.
    CALENDARS
    All calendars measure 8 x 10 inches and are printed on McCoy 100# Silk Cover paper stock.
    To ensure the best print quality, we have chosen to use Kodak NexPress technology. The press uses a dry toner, which is fused to the surface of the paper. Please see NexPress' site for more information:
    KODAK NEXPRESS 2500 Digital Production Color Press
    I hope you find this information helpful in answering questions on the iPhoto forum."

  • Where are addresses for iPhoto books stored ?

    I want to check the address that's on my list for ordering iPhoto books. The scroll list just notes the nickname. Where is the address so I can be sure it's correct?

    Barb, <br /><br />I suggest that you look at the default location for XP identified in a PSE 4 FAQ. <br /><br />C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Catalog Folders\<Catalog name>\Proxies. <br /><br />It is very likely that the location will be the same in PSE 5, but I don't currently have Offline files to verify that.  <br /><br />Yes, I think that the same location was used for moved offline files  and files that were originally imported in to the Catalog specifying Offline status.  You should also be able to verify that <br /><br />Here is the link to the entire FAQ for your reference: <br />http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bbd1bc3

  • PDF Preview quality is horrible for iPhoto book!

    I created an 82 page iphoto book with several photos and some text and when I preview the order in PDF the quality is distored in various ways every time I try it! I even did a software update and reconfigured iphoto! And the problem then is that this PDF quality is what is meant to be your final product once it is ordered!

    Boot into Safe Mode and try again.

  • Looking for iPhoto book template for Aperture

    I created a photobook in iPhoto and now need to add a few things that iPhoto wont permit ie images in places that are not on the templates. Therefore, I am trying Aperture since it allows me to modify templates. So, I now need to recreate a template in Aperture that is the same as the one I used in iPhoto. To speed everything up, I am looking to see if I can install the templates from iPhoto. If so, that would save me lots of work. Actually, if I could only import the photobook from iPhoto, that would be even better!
    So, does anyone know where I can get the templates/themes that are in iPhoto and how do I install them in Aperture?

    That is not a possibility - but you can do a page layout in Aperture (or any other program) and print it to PDF using the send PDF to iPhoto option to send an option of it to iPhoto and then add it to the iPhoto book as a full page photo

  • How long should it take to upload pictures for iPhoto books

    I have created a book for Christmas on iPhoto.  The book is 100 pages.  There are two steps to the process of sending in your order.
    1.  Assembly (which it assembled no problem, under 30 min)
    2.  Upload (it shows a bar and a blue line moves as it uploads)
    I have been uploading for 2 days now and I am 1/4 of the way there.  Now while I am waiting for it to upload I cannot do anything with my iPhoto pictures.  Which is a problem since I take pictures for my school and I need to edit pictures by Tuesday.
    It states under the "Uploading book to the store...."  Note: Any interruption of the upload process will cancel your order.
    I have enough memory that this should not be the problem.  I have turned off every application, restarted my computer, checked for updates.  Nothing helps.  I have had to cancel this order 3 times now and restart the process as I needed to use iPhoto for school projects.
    This should not take more than 2 days!  What is going on?  Any help would be wonderful.  Thank you

    Two days is way too long for the upload, unless you are having a very slow Wi-Fi.
    There may be a something interfering with your connection to the Print Products Store (Anti virus software, firewalls), or you have included unprintable items.
    Is the PDF preview of your book correct? Make a review and check it carefully for missing items, see this help page:
    iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture
    If the preview is alright, try to upload your book again in Safe Mode. That will disable non standard extensions, and prevent them from interfering with your connection to the Print Products Store:

  • Can I reprint dust cover for iphoto book?

    I just received a book I created with iphoto. On the dust cover, there is a photo that is not formatted correctly (although it looks good in iphoto). I had created a PDF to preview before I ordered the book and didn't notice the problem. So, the question is.... Is there some way I can order just a replacement dust cover without paying $50 for a reprint of the whole book.
    thanks
    John S.

    No - possibly a local print shop can print one from the preview PDF
    You can contact Apple (contact us link is at the bottom of every page of the forums) but as far as I know they do not offer that
