81/2 x 11 photobook

I want to create a portrait oriented photobook and iphoto/aperture are limited to the sizes you can create (11 x 81/2- landscape options only). What mac software would help me create an 81/2 x 11 photobook? I don't need fancy pages, I want the pictures to be the focus and have the ability to enter text.

That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
Maybe a google search will you soem options

I used iphotos to create a photobook. I want to send the book to my aunt in the states but it won't allow me to do that. I was just wondering why it won't allow me to put in her address so the book can go directly to her home.

How do I combine text and photos on the same page in iPhoto using photobook

How do I combine text and photos on the same page in iPhoto using photobook?

You mean while creating a book in iPhoto? Click on the layout button while viewing a page and select the layout that includes both text and photos. Most themes will have those options.

How do I print one page at a time for a photobook .pse project?

I am trying to print a photobook project one page at a time as I am using double sided paper that I need to turn over. One other project I did asked me if I wanted both sides and would I do the turning myself, but this one doesn't. I also wanted no border on the prints and it came out with a border. It is also frustrating to have to wait for it to load 75 pages and then it prints them back to front. Is this PSE or the printer software?

Yes, you can print one page one at time as you want .
In print dialog, select other pages and click on remove button.(refer to screenshot).
For border click on more options and ensure check box is not selected ( refer to screenshot)

How do I add new photos to an existing photobook album?

I'm creating a photobook and nearly finished it but want to add some more photos that weren't in the original album I used. Can anyone advise how you add new photos to it that you can then select to go into the Photobook? I can't find any way to add new photos so they appear in the Photobook Browser - do I have to start again? I'm using iPhoto '09.

drag them from an event or album to the book project under keepsakes

How do I Add a new photo to a project (photobook)

I have created an album in iPhoto '08 and used that to create a photobook which I was just about to order. I placed all my photos and added the text with no problems. BUT I wanted to add a last minute photo to the project and my this is now a problem. I imported it to iPhoto and dragged it to the relevant album. However when I open up the project the new photo does not appear in the line of photos up the top. Surely I don't have to start from scratch??? Would appreciate your help.

Thank you so much. You are a champion. I had tried dragging it directly to the book and when that didn't work I dragged it to the project icon and hey presto - I am so Happy!!!!!

How to print photobook pages into A4 paper

how do we print the photobook pages we made from Aperture after saving as PDF format. The PDF file when open in Adobe PDF is showing each single page only and it does not show 2 pages spread out like we saw in the Aperture photobook layout. do i need to use another program to do the layout beofre printing out in an A4 paper? I intent to do a layflat photobook which require the sticking of the pages for binding later. someone pleeas help. thank you.

I have give a several try to your new instruction but the gap is there no matter how i set the paper size. I gave an example of this page layout of 2.5in x 2.5 in . If i read your article correctly , my total page size is suppose to be 5inx5in.
Just look at the image and i had try out 2 custom setting in the paper size . You will notice the difference of these two layout after i open the preview for PDF.
the first one, the paper size remain as original as it is (2.5inx2.5in per page) .The image is pretty close side by side but the gap can still noticeable.
The second image is using your instructions earlier (When you export your book define a custom paper size that is exactly the size of two pages of your open book. That you define in the "Manage Custom Sizes"-entry of the "Paper Size" selector of the Print panel) - the result = it shrank to smaller size and left a huge gap in between those image. The paper size was set as 5inx5in per page.
Thanks again but still not resolve.

How can i create a photobook with a layout that respect standard photo format?

I used iphoto to create a photobook but there is serious problem, i can use only fixed layout and this layouts are problems.
I can't put my shoot in standard photographic format, so i need to zoom and move my photo to fit well in your fixed layout.
I can't change the composition of all my shoots to fit in wrong layout.
There is a way to disable layout and put manually the photo in original format on pages?
Thank you
Mario Aprea

iPhoto books can only be created using the fixed templetes supplied - you can not modify them
I have no idea what a "standard Photographic Format is" - neither I nor Google knows that that is
So I do not understand what you want to do
One possible suggestion is that in a book you can right click on a photo (in most temes) and use the fit to frame option to show an entire photo that is in the wrong dimensions

Pictures not showing when putting together a photobook - bar or book

I am trying to make a photobook but half the pictures in my album are not showing in the photo bar. If I drag and drop them and then click on each photo book page they appear there - but when I zoom out they also seem to be missing in the book. It's really frustrating when putting together becuase I can't see what I'm trying to place and I'm not sure the book will print properly either. Can anyone help?

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. It can take 3 or 4 goes for this to work

Photobook / project disappeared - iphoto library on external drive

i use iphoto 11 on a macbook air os x 10.7.5 and have moved the iphoto library on an external hard drive. some older photobooks and projects (calendars) are clickable - i am asked if it is okay to renew them. others are just dead.
when i end iphoto and restart (my last click was on that project), then iphoto turns and turns and never starts. until i click on a openable project or event.
i went through all rebuilds offered by iphoto (library, access rights) except the thumbnail-renewal.
any solution?
do i have to kill the old books? and do them again.
i would like to do some re-prints of them...

If, as Larry asked, the EHD is formatted OS X Extended (journaled) apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

"Layouts" Panel no longer working in "Create" Mode for photobook

I have been trying to make a photobook. Due to the large size, and therefore suuuper slowness of the computer, I have mostly been opening and working on individual pages only. I generally open the entire photobook only to change the picture layout for a given page since that function isn't available to me when I work on the pages individually. (When I originally saved my project, a separte folder was created with files for individual pages. I found that by opening one of those, i was able to work on only 1 page, which helped the program run a lot quicker, and any changes I made to individual pages were reflected in the overall photobook)
However, for some reason while working on the entire photobook in "Create" mode, nothing shows up when I click on the "Layouts" panel on teh bottom right. I can skim through the pages, and open the Graphics, but when I click "Layouts" the side-bar stays grey.
Is there a way to fix this?

If you look at the FM Update/Download web page, there was a fix for Zapf Dingbat problems years ago that you could try, but if I were you, I'd trash what sounds as if it's a corrupted or incompatible font file and update with an Open format Dingbat font....

How do I change a Photobook created to "print locally" to a file that can be sent to Shutterfly?

I created a photobook in photoshop elements 9 and selected "print locally". Now I want to send it to a commercial printer and can't figure out how to do so. I have checked with both Shutterfly and Costco, and they want each page sent as a separate picture.... How do I do that?

Hi Margery J,
You are correct, to use a commercial printer you will need to export them as individual pages. To do this, go to File --> Export Photobook:
From there, a window will pop up: make sure "JPEG" is selected as the format and set your destination folder.
Then click OK and you should be all set, your images will save to the selected folder. You can then upload the folder to Shutterfly, Costco or any other commercial printer to have it printed as a booklet.
Please note that each commercial printer and service may have different quality or file format requirements.
Here is a link to a helpful Shutterfly page about booklet printing requirements.

IPhoto 11 Library was corrupted and photobook is lost

Hi there, I have encountered various issues with my iphoto. I have attempted to resolve it and I believe I have created a bigger mess.
Problems:
1. many photos in "events" and "photobook" when clicked did not connect to photo for editing, it simply showed a large black screen with the warning symbol (I believe this was caused by my own mistake of moving around photos in the iphoto library when I went to "reveal in finder" . My lesson learned: do not move photos in iphoto library!)
2. I attempted to remedy this problem by following the instructions I found on various posts here. I have downloaded the iPhoto manager, created a new library etc. However, after many unsuccessful attempts, I have simply restored my iPhoto to a backup from Jan. The problem now is that this is just prior to my installing iPhoto 11. So the photobook, I has spent hours on is now lost.
3. I have attempted to go to a newer version of the backup from TM. But I think I am also encountering a full startup disk. (as I only now have 10.65GB available).
Possible Solutions?
I have a 2TB external hard drive and a 1TB drive for my TM. I am considering moving TM to the larger drive and then moving iPhoto to the 1TB drive. However, before I get myself into any more messes, I am seeking your advice.
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
But I think I am also encountering a full startup disk. (as I only now have 10.65GB available).
This is a major issue. OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on. Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially. Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do. Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
To move the iPhoto Library:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
Regards
TD

How can I add new photos to a saved photobook?

I've started a photobook and saved it. All the pictures that were in the filmstrip but not placed in pages in the book are gone from the project. How can I add them back?

Graham, switch to Grid view and drag the new photos to the book collection, which you'll find in the Collections panel. Then flip back to the Book module and you'll find the photos sat there in the Filmstrip waiting to be added to the book design.

How can I transfer my photobooks from iphoto 08 on osx 10.5.8 to iphoto 11 on macbook osx 10.8.1 without loosing layout?

How can I transfer my photobooks from iphoto 08 on osx 10.5.8 to iphoto 11 on macbook osx 10.8.1 without loosing layout? I prepared 3 books in iphoto 08 and wanted to order them yesterday. I got the message, that this version is not supported anymore. I also have a macbook osx 10.8.1. However I did not manage to transfer the books to it. What can I do? I really would not like to recreate the books from scratch in th new version.

You will have to convert your 08 library to iPhoto 11 by copying the library to your Macbook and opening it with iPhoto 11.
However, check to see if the theme you're using in 08 is available in 11. If it isn't you'll probably lose the book or be assigned to some other theme.
If the theme you've chosen isn't available in 11 find one that is available in both versions and convert to it in the 08 library before you move it to 11.

How can you make photobook using photos in the order you have them titled

I spent a lot of time renaming photos ("a1" through "z9") to get them in chrono order when viewing/sorting them by title. Yet, when I go in to create a photobook it doesn't put them in this new order by title, but rather uses the old naming system which puts them out of order. Anyone have any ideas how to get photobook to look at the photos by "new" renamed title?

I put them in chrono order after all all were imported into iPhoto by naming them appropriately.
No, that puts them in alphabetifcal order, not chronological order.
What other post?
I started to repy to this post earlier and somehow aborted the post instead of adding it.
If you use the Batch Change ➙ Date option with 1 minuted between photos on the photos as they are sorted by title they will go into the book in that order.
