Aperture: photo book won't print

When I click to order a photo book or want to print it, there is a warning of missing links and lower quality pictures. I would like to order nontheless. How can I do that?

If it is only a warning, you can proceed on your own risk and ignore the warning, but probably you wan't like the results.
I'd recommend to print the book to pdf first, and to browse the pdf-file, so you will see exactly what you will get for your money, and frankly, if there are missing links, there will be pictures missing from book. Why not repair those links first?

My photo book won't print. Arrrrrgh!

I'm using 8.1.2 424 version of iPhoto. I've created a photo album I want to order, but it keeps telling me I need an Apple Account with 1-click ordering enabled. I've done this, but now it tells me my apple id can't be used for 1-click ordering.
It's driving me mad!
Can someone tell me from start to finish what I need to do to get this **** thing printed!
I'm in the Uk and I'm using OSX 10.9.3

First go into iPhoto's Advanced preference pane and confirm that the Print Product Store for the UK.
If that doesn't clear up the problem click on the Store button at the top and then on the Accounts link in the next window at the far right:
Click on View Account. Remove and reenter all of the information regarding your credit card, billing address, etc. and confirm that 1-click purchasing is enabled. Then try again.
Note: before ordering create a PDF preview of the book via this Apple document: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture. Check it for errors and when satisfied the book is ready to order keep a copy of the PDF file to compare to the printed copy when it arrives.

Can a completed Aperture photo book be placed on a website for viewing by friends? I already had several copies successfully printed by Apple.

There is no direct web publishing of a book, sorry. But as a work-around: You can print your book to pdf - select it in the book in the Inspecktor panel and use "Print book". Then select the "PDF" buttun in the print panel and save a pdf file. Upload the pdf to a server for sharing (ftp, Drop box) and send your friends a link or place a link to the file on a webpage.

Aperture photo book vs iPhoto quality

Hi, will photo books printed from Aperture give me better quality than photo books from iPhoto 6? This will help me decide if I should buy Aperture or not.
Is it true that Aperture prints books at 300 dpi and iPHoto at 150 dpi?
Any advantages to printing photo books in Aperture (what does Aperture photo books do that iPhoto doesn't)?
Thanks,

Recently I uploaded and had printed a hardbound book that had been designed within Aperture. Prior to this, I have used iPhoto to produce 10 such books starting back in 2002. I have always chosen the picture book format because it provided the largest images.
This time I used Aperture because it allows large images with small captions and a good deal or freedom of length and placement.I particularly appreciated the good snap placement between the pictures and other captions. The ease of producing 2 page spreads was impressive. The book ran 84 pages and the quality of the resulting was very good–on a par with my other Apple photo books.
On only one occasion have I had a problem with quality control of these books. In that case an a good high resolution image was pixelated. In that case, I was able to call Apple and speak to someone, who after hearing my description, asked me to send my copy back and issued a reprint order.
My only bit of consternation with this order is that I found no such contact information enclosed with the book.
Finally, I haven't seen any specific suggestions within this formum for third-party print houses that can produce good quality books. Just assertions that alternatives do exist. I would be willing to strip down the .pdf file of the book I have just created to some of the trickier images and see how these one of these print houses fare.

Raw files in aperture photo books

Hi,
I'm creating my first aperture photo book. I uploaded raw files to aperture, made adjustments, and then placed the versions into the book. It is these versions (with all crops, adjustments, etc.) that will show up in my photo book, correct? (That's what it looks like when I preview the book, but I just want to make sure I didn't need to convert them to jpeg or anything before I spend over $100 on this book!)
Thanks!

When you create a version in Aperture it automatically creates a jpeg, so you don't have to do anything else. It is all automatic.

Aperture Photo Book

What is the lead time for an aperture photo book?

Hi,
It's all listed in the shipping and delivery section (http://store.apple.com/us/help/print_products) depending of your location and if you chose standard versus express.

When I order 4 Aperture photo books can they be sent to 4 different addresses?

I am using Apple Aperture on an iMac. I plan to order soon at least 4 photo books and more later. Can 4 printed books be shipped to 4 different addresses in one order, or do I have to make 4 separate orders? If Apple has filled an order to print a photo book can I make another order without having to upload the book again, since Apple has the book from the previous order?

All parts of an order have to be delivered to the same delivery address. And for additional copies you have to place a new order and upload the book again.
See the information on the Apple Print Products page for your country:

Layout grids Aperture Photo Books

I am attempting to make sure all of my photo boxes and text boxes are consistent throughout a book I am designing.
I can not seem to find any feature that will allow me to precisely create and place images, text on pages.
There is a very basic center tool and outside margin tool -are there more tools somewhere I am missing or do they not exist?
If they don't Apple please add them. How can you have a professional tool without this basic function.
Also can you link text boxes to flow text?
Any advice as to how others have dealt with this.
Thank you

Hello,
on my experience Aperture´s books could be absolutly customized, so that´s more freedom in layouts.
You can adjust / change text boxes, fonts, sizes, color, and so...
You can create your personal book´s theme, or just only one or more pages within choosed theme, then you can print your book via on-line service, or print as PDF, PDF-X, TIFF (every composed page) or JPEG (same as tiff) to your computer...
but if you choose a theme and/or size, style (hardcover or softcover) but you want to change it for a different order, for example for parents, with another size or hardwork style, you must start creating another book ;<.

IPhoto vs Aperture Photo Books

How does the quality of photo books produced in Aperture compare to those produced in iPhoto? Is there more freedom in layout? Can you adjust text box sizes on a page? What other things make Aperture books better (or worse) than iPhoto?

PDF of Aperture photo book?

I'd like to design a photo book in Aperture; will I be able to save it as a high-res PDF?

Yeas, you can save the file, that would be sent to Apple for printing as a high quality PDF. See this support document:
iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040
Open Aperture.
Click the Buy Book button.
Click the Preview Book button. Aperture will begin assembling the book. This may take several minutes depending on the size of your book.
When the assembly is complete a PDF of your book will open.
Note: With Aperture 3, the first page of the PDF is the wrap-around dust jacket for your book, and the second page is the photo wrap cover that will be wrapped around the casing of your hardcover book.
After previewing the book, go back to Aperture. If you decide to continue with the order, click Continue. If you decide not to order the book at this time, click Cancel.

APERTURE PHOTO BOOK WORKFLOW

I'm new to Aperture (1.1) and am looking for advice on the best workflow to create Apple Photo Books. Issues include:
1. Getting the correct version of the photo into the book
2. Copying the photos in correct order with a single copy/drag command
3. Ensuring there are no duplicates
4. Not having the photo name in the Book
I had created an Aperture Album for the Photo Book. Took care to drag the best version (which is the last version) of the photo into the album (with an error here). After numerous attempts, I gave up on trying to get the correct, better version of the photo into the Book (just re-edited the version I had). Tried to manually arrange the photos within the Album in the order I wanted to have them in the Book (they are ordered by date) but was unsuccessful in re-ordering. In creating the Book I had to individually drag each photo to it's page and had to manually keep track of which ones I was using (resulting in one duplication). As I was fine tuning the Book and rearranging the photos, there wasn't a place to temporarily store the photos (this is how I inadvertently got a duplicate). Also, I had to manually remove each photo name that was attached to each photo in the Book(perhaps there is an easy option here I don't know about yet?).
Interested in any pointers to expedite creating these Photo Books. Missing some of the iPhoto Book creation tools!
PowerMac G5 Dual 2.0 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

i am no expert on books, but in the one i am working on, i set the image i wanted to use as the stack pick before i made my book selections. i always manually load pages, so i can't help you there. in the browser of my book, the thumbnails of images used in the book have a red badge in the upper right corner showing how many times they have been used in the book. that should help you with duplicates.

Aperture Photo Book: preview shows corrupted images

Hi,
I just finalized a photo book in aperture. When running a preview as part of the first steps in buying the book, many pictures turned out to be corrupted. The showed lines and patches of the picture with different colors. I'm afraid to order the book since I'm not sure if the problem will also appear on the actual book. Can anyone help.
Thanks!

Aperture Photo-book Deadline for Christmas?

Does anyone know what the deadline is for receiving photo-books by Christmas Eve? iPhoto's is the 18th. I'm assuming it's the same for Aperture but just want to check.

Hi TxOutsider,
Just picking up your post from the weekend - I emailed Apple Photo Services at the weekend with the same question, and from a European perspective at least, it's definitely the 18th. Hope that helps!
Cheers,

Epson Stylus Photo R2400 won't print large pages?

I recently upgraded to Mac OS X Leopard. I immediately had problems with printing to my Epson Stylus Photo R2400 as a print driver gutenprint had suddenly replace my Epson driver when going thu dialog to print. Called and Epson and they got me thru process of getting rid of the newly replaced gutenprint to an Epson driver. Problem is I can't print anything larger than an 8.5x11 page. The printer set up says and shows me that what I have set as an 11x17 or 13x19 is going to print. But all that prints on this large expensive paper is an area 8.5x8.5. No matter what I change in set up. Epson says they have done all they can do. (And I just found out last week they have replaced this printer with another printer). I have hundreds of dollars in newly purchased inks and I am wasting expensive paper.
Also I had to remove the patch for OS leopard to get the printer to work in this diminished capacity.
And my email signature disappeared. Can't get that back either.
But printer is my biggest problem. Any suggestions how to get this printer to work with this new OS leopard and print large sizes? I have deadlines and hate to outsource the printing when I could easily do it in house.

Well, you picked the very hardest way to do it, and as time goes on, you will probably discover many other things wrong with your system as well. You CANNOT go back to Tiger from Leopard via an archive and install; you have to wipe the drive and start over from scratch, and then transfer all your data over from a backup and reinstall most, if not all, of your applications so the right elements are in the right places. Even so you'll never get your system exactly back to where it was, unless you had a perfect bootable Tiger backup (via SuperDuper) and merely restored from that. Obviously whatever Leopard element that killed your printing capability is still on your frankenstein system of BOTH Tiger and Leopard parts.
There are hundreds of posts on the issue of reverting to Tiger from Leopard, many quite detailed. So many things are changed from upgrading from one to the other that what you attempted (unless you completely wiped the drive and all your data) has always proven disastrous, which is why I highly recommended against it after reading hundreds of horror stories here.
I suggest doing a search at downgrading from Leopard to Tiger, following those instructions if you can, and making the best of it. You'll find that springing the $200 for an external drive would have been a much better and easier solution, because it can come in very handy if you ever need to do any maintenance on your internal hard drive, or if some update or problems kill your internal drive and you can't even boot the system. Not to mention sooner or later always needing more storage capability, and even a drive for reliable backups.
I would never dream of attempting a downgrade or needing to do it in the first place (having taken precautions as to never have to), so I can't give you any further advice than that.

The best photo book and canvas printing companies

I'm researching where to buy photo books, canvases, even announcement cards for future clients, and want to hear fellow photographer's suggestions. I would appreciate any and all suggestions!
Thanks in advance,
Kara

Karen:
Regarding the dpi prefs that Ricktoronto mentioned download and run Pref Setter. Bring up the iPhoto preference file in it and the do a search for dpi in the search field at the top. The three settings you want to change to 300 are BookTargetImageDPI, BookTargetImageMediumDPI and BookTargetImageSmallDPI. After changing the current values to 300 do a save and quit Pref Setter. That's all you need to do.
You might want to think about these numbers. If you want an 1 page picture in a book it will be about 8 x 10.6. At 300 dpi you should have 2400 x 3200 pixels. To get a 4x6 scanned image so it will be close to 300 dpi if enlarged to the 8x10.6 (Apple uses 4:3 ratio and that would make it 8 x 10.6 or so) you'd need to scan it at 3200/6 or about 530 dpi.
All of my books have been made with digital images from my camera that ranged from 1600 x 1200 to 2272 x 1704 and all of the photos came out very good. All of my books have been in the Story Book theme.
