Missing images in photo books

When I try the print or PDF preview of my photo book, there are several missing images or part missing images. Each time I preview the book different images appear to be corrupt or partly missing. They book appears to be fine in the viewer of Aperture. I do not want to send it off, until I can be sure that it will print properly. any suggestion?

I found a work-around!!!
I've been using RAW images in the book, so when Aperture generates a PDF or book, it had to convert RAW to JPEG and some images didnt make the cut. Here's what to do: convert the RAW files to JPEG (original size) after you are done with your image editing and simply regenerate any incomplete pics, then drop the JPEGs into your book (Aperture actually seemed to remeber scale and position of the images when I dropped the JPEG on top of the RAW files in the book - very cool). Now generate your book/PDF and voila - no corrupted images! And book generation is a lot faster too since the conversion to JPEG is already done. The only downside is that you are using more space now for separate versions.
Pheewwww - my book's on order and cant wait to see the results.

  • RAW Images and Photo Books

    Anybody tried using RAW images to build a photo book? I shoot my pics in combined RAW/jpeg formats - the jpegs are low res, so I would prefer to use the higher quality RAW images in making my book. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

    You can’t.
    RAW is a total sensor dump from the camera. The only thing you can do is process your RAW into good quality jpegs (or tiff or whatever) and use those. You cant even Print a RAW.\
    When you import a RAW to iPhoto the app automatically creates a JPEG preview of the File. That makes the whole RAW+jpeg shooting rather pointless.

  • Non photo images into photo book

    Can I drop a non photo image from the internet into a photo book (a cartoon picture for example)?  I have tried saving the image to iPhoto but then can not seem to drag it into the frame in the book.

    It depends on the format of that the image is saved in. Jpegs no problem, other formats there may or may not be.
    That said, Apple may baulk at printing images that you do not have copyright on.

  • .Issue with creating a photo book in Iphoto error message states some frames are missing images, but I've checked each one and from I can see they are all filled in. It won't let my buy the book though

    Having an Issue with Creating a photo Book in Iphoto. I continue to get an error message when clicking on "Buy Book" The error indicates that I'm missing a frame or frames from the book. I've checked this many times and cannot locate the issue. The book appears to be complete from my perspective. What can I do now? I worked very hard on this and would hate to lose it all.

    How did you check the book? Did you preview it?
    See:
    iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture
    Is that the message?
    "your book seems to have frames on one or more pages that do not contain photos. You must either change the layout of those pages or place photos in those frames before you can buy this book."
    The most common reason for this error is, that you have used a page layout that needs a background photo and you have not yet added the backdrop. Then the book is still showing some default grayscale image.
    Check, if one of your page layouts is using this background:
    Then you need to add a photo to the background of the page.

  • Photos missing from photo book

    I have recently opened iPhoto and have gone to do another photo book/Project, and was just checking an older book I made and have noticed some photos are missing from the book/Project? They are also not in the Album with all the photos I used for the book? Does anyone have any idea where these could be? Could they have been removed from the iCloud? I do not remember deleting these images from iPhoto so is there any way of retreiving them from anywhere else?
    Many thanks, Ian

    and
    Are they in an event anywhere?
    What version of iPhoto and of the OS?

  • ? about image resolution/color correction when apple prints photo book

    My first time making a photo book. I color correct and sharpen all of my images in Adobe Lightroom 2 first. Then I save the jpegs and import into iPhoto to make a book. Is there an option for turning off auto color correction when the file is uploaded to apple for printing? Is there an accurate way to tell how the photos will print on the specific paper they use? Also, what print resolution should the photos be set to? Is 180 dpi enough? Thanks in advance.

    first read the Apple pages - http://www.apple.com/support/photoservices/preparation_tips/ - and all of its links
    Second - I suspect you will be disappointed. Based on reports on these forums almost everyone who uses iPhoto exclusively to preprocess photos is extremely happy with the results. very often people you over process their photos using a third party program (including Lightroom, Photoshop, etc) are unhappy because the printing process is optimized for point and shoot cameras and iPhoto processing - it is NOT a professional desktop book process
    There are no options re color correction - it is built in again aimed at sRGB, point and shoot cameras and iPhoto processing
    Plus there have been reported incompatibilities between iPhoto and Lightroom
    The print resolution is what it is - if it will be less than 180 dpi you will get a waarning - it can be greater
    The papers they print on are specified here - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3412

  • When making a photo book, my iPhoto freezes during uploading the book to the store after assembly.  I have attempted this 4 times now and I don't know what to do! I know the file size is massive due quantity of large images. How can I get past this?

    When making a photo book, my iPhoto freezes during uploading the book to the storey.  I have attempted this 4 times now and I don't know what to do! I know the file size is massive due quantity of large image files, but I don't want to reduce the image file size and compromise quality in the book. How can I get past this?
    My macbook air is os x 10.9, using iPhoto 11 9.5 (902.7).

    Try Old Toad's solution here:   See   Re: iphoto : upload impossible to print a book
    Try to boot into Safe Mode and order this way, or sign into a different user account and try to order as a different user.

  • I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

    Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
    It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
    1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
    2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
    I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
    I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
    Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
    If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
    If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
    1. Right click images you want to share.
    2. Select Export version.
    3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
    4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
    This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
    See how you go.

  • A simple way to apply crop from photo book frame to image version?

    Hi
    Running MacOS X 10.8.5, Aperture 3.4.4
    I have the following workflow for photobooks creation (a custom photobook):
    0) Prepare an album with photos I'd like to create my book from.
    For 99% of my photos I have TIFF files as masters. Not RAW files.
    I use managed library.
    1) Create a book layout (place images, select different crop factors for frames, etc)
    2) Looking at specific page adjust photos using Aperture adjustments (exposure, color balance) to make images to looks similar on the page
    3) A the final step, apply some adjustments from external plugins.
    Here I have the question from subject:
    * The Aperture  sends the whole file to plugin (i.e. some of Nik collection plugins, but it might be a different plugin)
    * But on my photo book page I have a different crop factor (i.e. TIFF master is 2:3, on photo book page I frame it to 1:2)
    * As the result some of the adjustments I did in external plugin are not visible on the photobook page, which produces a different visual effect, which I don't want.
    Currently, to workaround this, I have to manually apply the same crop factor to image version, then make a version copy, open the plugin. Only after these steps Aperture will send the desired crop factor to external plugin.
    This is some sort of technical work which I need to do manually, no brain is involved here - I'm looking to some ways how to automate this.
    As the result, I'd like the crop factor from photo frame from Aperture custom book to be applied to image version.
    Any ideas on scripts/external programs are welcome.
    Thank you!

  • I have tried to order a photo book.  Both times it uploaded images etc and then after payment details a message pops up saying this album couldn't be processed. Please try again. Has anyone else experienced this? Can the photo books be printed in store?

    Your screenshot is not visible.
    Anyhow, try a different browser. What were you using?
    Firefox is known to work well with the download manager when other browers fail.

  • Best Image File Type & Size for Photo Books?

    When you select your photos to be included in a Photo Book submission, is there a required file type and maximum size. Most of my images are presently Photoshop .psd files and TIFF files of substantial size -- around 2 to 4MB, that I will have to import into iPhoto '09. Thanks.

    Interesting. Presently, all my image files are at 300 dpi.
    Remember that DPI has no meaning for a digital file - digital files have only dots - the per inch part comes form the print size so until you select a print size you had only "d" - not "dpi" - that is a totally meaningless number
    See +The Myth of DPI+ for more information
    How exactly is print size determined in the photo books -- from your selection
    Obviously from your selection - you place a photo into a frame and the frame size is the size
    You may want to take the tutorial for more information - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/#books
    or, whatever size results from the image resolution.
    remember that images have no inherent size - they are just dots (pixels)
    Is the ideal resolution 300 dpi? Thanks.
    any image that will print at 180dpi or above will give good results (and will not get a resolution warning)

    I have now recently downloaded 10.0.2 which is confusing in itself, as, as far as I can ascertain that is actually version 11, but I'm not even sure about that.
    Version 10.0.2 is the newest version and the successor to GarageBand '11 (version 6.0.5).
    The '11 is referring to the iLife '11 suit of multimedia application - the older GarageBand was a part of this bundle.
    Have a look at Edgar's graphical enhanced manuals, the explain very detailed how things work and why. You can buy them as iBooks from the iBook store or directly from the page:

  • Missing photo book thumbnails

    All the thumbnails across the top of a photobook I'm creating have suddenly gone missing. They have been replaced by blank white pages. If I click on one of these, the original pages open up in the viewer, but I'm trying to edit blind! Any ideas?

    Update: I tried rebuilding the small thumbnails. That didn't work, but changing the theme of the photo book regenerated the full set, so problem solved. I'm still not sure what caused the loss of thumbnails, though.

  • Photo titles missing when making a book...

    Hi --
    My wife and I are trying to use iPhoto to make several new photo books from our recent wedding photos and we have all the photos organized according to title and film roll (we did both film & digital). They uploaded to the library just fine and all the titles are viewable in the library, but when we go to the "make book" fuction the titles in the upper window above the book layout have disappeared. Since we have all the photos we want to use written down by title, is there any way to view the titles of your photos while in the "make book" function?

    Doug:
    Unfortunately not all themes automatically include the titles or comments even though there is a Settings option to do so. What theme are you using?
