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!

on syncing photos to my iphone from my mac (snow leopard) (iphoto), just 2 or 3 per event retain the edited verisons, the rest are shown in the original version. I'm confused by this. Is this a bug? Is there a way to see all the photos on the mac-edited version on iphn?

Thanks for your reply
I solved my problem,
Definitely a bug in syncing through itunes.
- Connect Iphone with MacBook Pro through USB
- Go to iphone on itunes, photos, deselect photo synchronization.
- Sync (all pics will be removed from iphone)
- Close itunes, iphoto, disconnect iphone
- Select in finder: (home)-pictures-iphoto library.
- Sec click on iphoto library and choose "show package contents"
- Delete iPod Photo Cache
- Close finder
- Empty trash
- Reconnect iphone
- Allow photo synchronization again and everything works smooth.
After this, changes made in iphoto are instantaneously reflected in iphone photos.
Once every hundred photos, one gets detached from iphoto and then changes are no longer reflected (buggy) :-(
In this case I erase the photo in iphoto, sync, go back to iphoto trash, reestablish the photo from the trash and sync again.
Hope this improves. Still have to try cloud though.
Thanks

Simple way to insert data from one table

Hi,
I need to know a simple way on how to transfer the data from one table to another....
First table xx_inv_tab1 has three columns col1, col2, col3 and where as second table xx_inv_tab2 has five columns col1, col2, col3, col4, col5.
Here col2, col3, col4 are the same columns as in table1 xx_inv_tab1...
Now I want to transfer first table data in to second table .... first column of second table holds a sequence, followed by the first table three columns data and followed with col4 and col5 which will hold NULL values....
In my scenario, I have 70 - 75 columns in my first table which I want to move to second table which three new columns (one is sequence and other two has null values)...
Any ideas if we make it in a simplest way rather saying insert into xx_inv_tab2 (col1, col2, col3 ............................................. col75) values (seq, col1, col2..........................col75, null, null)
Help Appreciated..
Thanks

Easy
untested
insert into xx_inv_tab2 t2 (col1,col2,col3,col4)
select yourSequence.nextval, t1.col1, t1.col2, t1.col3
from xx_inv_tab1 t1
;Note that col5 does not need to be used, since you want to fill it with NULL.
USe excel or sql developer to write you a list of column names, if you are to lazy to write all 75 columns by yourself.
What might also work:
untested
insert into xx_inv_tab2 t2
select yourSequence.nextval, t1.*, null
from xx_inv_tab1 t1

Any easy way to print envelopes from photo tray?

I have a new C309 printer that works well printing from three different PCs. What I want to do is load the photo tray with a few #10 envelopes so that I can print one without having to change out paper in the main tray.
The problem is, by the time I make the changes to Properties to print from the photo tray, I might as well have swapped things in the main tray. (I have to declare that I'm printing postcards or it won't let me specify the photo tray).
Does anyone have a suggestion for how to multiplex between printing letters and printing envelopes?

Address Book itself has the ability to print out labels - I'm not sure whether you have OS X 10.4 or 10.5, but there are more options in 10.5. From Address Book, select your desired addresses (or make a group of them and select that) and go to File - Print. You'll see the label options there.

How do you remove captions from photo books in iPhoto 9.5.1?

I wanted to see what a photo book created in iPhoto '11 looks like with my own pics so I made one the simplest way possible: picked an event, chose a format, clicked "buy book." It arrived yesterday and it's gorgeous but I want the next ones to be even better. In the "Folio" layout every page has a default copyright notice. I don't need that. Every page has the photo's name, useful stuff like "DSC_1518." I don't need that either. Is there a way to remove the entries from every caption box all at once? If I can empty all of them at once I can easily put back the entries I actually want. I can manually empty them but that's 4 captions on every one of 96 pages. Clearing one and clicking "change everywhere" doesn't do it. I don't want to remove the boxes, just the default entries in all of them.
Thanks

If you use a theme that has layouts without text boxes or themes that do not have autoload of text the text will not print even though you get a warning before ordering. Folio is the only theme that automatically puts in some text. The others just have placecard text that does not print.
You can test it by by proofing the book according to this Apple document: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture.
These are two pages from the Picture Book theme of a 2 photo per page layout. One has text and the other doesn't. The text you see is placecard text and will not display when printed.
This is a screenshot of the pages in the PDF file:
No text on the second 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?

How to delete multiple unplaced photos from photo book?

Too many photos were loaded into book project, is there a way to select more than 1 photo at a time to be removed from the book project?

Hi Terence
Because over time I will have a lot of books and in each one will have thousands of thumbnails not being used. Must be taking up space surely, because when I delete the original photo from the library the thumbnail is still in the book. So its unused and unnecessary, so therefore would like to delete it.
For info, I want to delete my library and re-import because I synchronise my photos with my home computer, which is Windows. My photo library is organised in folders before importing into iphoto, such as:
Holidays 2009
-> Spain
-> France
Family
-> Rosy
----> 0 to 3 Months
----> 3 to 6 Months
----> 6 to 9 Months
----> etc
Finlay
--> 0 to 3 Months
Activities
--> Snowdonia 2009
So this is great to be able to find the photos I need.
iPhoto completely destroys that, I now have something like:-
2009
--> Spain
--> France
--> Snowdonia
--> 0 to 3 Months
--> 3 to 6 Months
--> 6 to 9 Months
2010
--> 0 to 3 Months
So you can see there is now no categorisation, Rosy and Finlay have disappeared from my hierarchy, I would not know what are Holidays or what are Activites.
This is OK If I only used iPhoto I can rename the Event. But this does NOT rename the folder. So now when I sync with windows I get the second list above and my categorisation is lost. So I have a lot more than the above folders, its a nightmare to identify what the folders are as I have not renamed them with the full keywords, but have used a hierarchy system.
So I want to delete my library, and rename all my folders so I get something like Rosy 0 to 3 Months etc. This way when I import the Event is called this, and when I sync with windows the folder is named this too. I dont mind the iPhoto hierarchy, I just need the folders to be called something descriptive.

Any way to create labels from Address Book WHICH I CAN EDIT?

I know how to print labels direct from Address Book but I need to be able to edit the labels before printing. Anyone know how to do that?

I had to chose "Desktop" to be able to set 1920x1080. Not sure what Desktop means.
Which raises the question of what the render codec will be. I'm trying AIC since it is more compressed than "422 uncompressed" yet can be 1920x1080.
AIC works, BUT it is darker. HDV is also darker. DVCPRO HD is also darker.
422 uncompressed and PhotoJPEG and Component are almost equal brightness. Both are slow.
So one has a choice of slower than normal playback with correct image or full speed playback with dark image. Can't have darker because it screws-up CC.
Also: The QUALITY parameter is critical for PhotJPEG, yet not only can't one define it one has no idea what Adobe has set it to.

I cannot delete pages from photo book.

I am finished creating my photo book but cannot delete extra pages. It is currently 33 pages (including cover) and I only need 29. I've tried the Delete key and the "Remove Page" option. I've also tried deleting the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file and restarting iPhoto. Nothing works. Any suggestions?

Covers do not count and you must have an even number of pages (sheets of paper have 2 sides)
The minimum for a book is 10 sheets of paper or 20 pages plus covers
How many pages do you have?

Simple way to move videos from PE organizer to iTunes

Using Photoshop E 6.0 & Premiere Elements 4.0 on XP with latest iTunes and IOS 4.0.1
I use the PE integration to sync Photo Albums to my phone which I like, but that seems to only work with photos. I also have a lot of short videos clips from our two iPhones and other devices. I would like to be able to select videos from PE organizer (liek creating an Album) then import them into iTunes and sync them to my phone. It appears that I need to manually find each file of the videos I want then import them into iTunes. Not being able to use the organizer seems to defeat it's purpose for this usage.
Also it seems that I can't add video clips to an Album.
Any easy way to do this?
Thanks

- You can transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- For non-iTunes purchased music you need a third-party progam like one of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
On the iPOo and the computer are those signed into the iTunes accunt that purchased the apps?
One computer go to iTues>Store sign out of existing account and sign into the one you want. For the iPod go to Settings>Store

Is there a way to erase dates from photos? Smart fill option?

I had an old photo shop program that allowed me to circle the date or anything I wanted removed from the picture and it would smart fill with the background. Does this Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 do the same? If so, how?

Well, you can try making a selection>select>fill selection>content aware, but more likely you'll get better results with the spot healing brush or the clone stamp.

Is there a way to set links from the book title / cover page?

Mavens!
I am attempting to design an interactive decision tool with iBooks Author and would like to set some hyperlinks from the actual book cover to avoid the linear book experience.
Is there a way to do this?
The widget inspector greys out when you select "Book Title" in the side bar.

I found it thank you. Need to highlight name then press delete button

Any way of seperating eBooks from audio Books in "Books" library?

I have over 2000 items in my "Books" library in iTunes as I like to listen to audio books as well as read eBooks on my iDevice. I can sort by Author, Album, etc. but nothing keeps the eBooks seperated from the audio books. Granted, the eBooks have an icon of a little book all the way at the end of the column but that means you have to scroll through all the items in there to find eBooks or audio books depending on which you want.
Does anyone know of a way to group all eBooks together and all audibooks together in the "List View" or "Album List" in the Library?

I do create playlist when I am syncing various books/authors (eBooks)or genres (audio). Problem is I have so many various playlists now and also that you can't permanently delete books from the library from the Playlists. Hence I do most of my manipulation in the "Library" views.
Suggested to Apple that they create a seperate "eBook" tab for the "Library" view.
