Bugs in iPhoto once card is ready for print service

Bug changes fonts in iPhoto once card is ready for print service. "Windowpane" layout line width bug for card printing service: in quadrant windowpane mode, one of the lines was too wide, not like the other three. Deleted it and selected the windowpane again and it was OK.

You only get one opportunity to set up the hard drive under publish and the folder cannot be changed unless you get a plug-in to provide a work around.
However you could just create a generic publish folder - something like Photo Lab, or Print Job.
But you could then right click on your publish folder and select “make target collection” - you will see the plus sign added.
Simply highlight the photos you want to print and press B (the same as adding to a quick collection) and your Publish Services folder on your hard drive will be populated with the exports.
The real problem is that you would need to edit the publish settings every time you required different dimensions etc (not sure possible). I use a similar system, which works well and I like how I can see what has already been published and what is still to be published but my prints are always the same size and resolution.

  • I am trying to crop a portrait photo into 6x4 portrait ready for printing.  Iphoto only crops it landscape and therefore cuts out most of the photo.  Is there any way of resolving this?

    I am trying to crop a portrait photo into 6x4 portrait ready for printing.  I am using Iphoto on a Macbook Pro.  Everytime I try and crop the photo, it crops in Landscape which cuts out most of the photo.  Is there any way of resolving this?  I am new to Macs as I am currently switching from MS.  It is very easy to do this in MS photo editor so I can't believe it can't be easily done in Iphoto!

    I'm a brand new Mac user. I want to send photos from Iphoto to my local store for printing, like I can do in Picasa. I can't find that option in Iphoto. I do not want to order them through Itunes.

    I have not idea how you do it with Picasa but with iPhoto you either export the photos to a desktop folder and upload from there or burns that folder to CD - or from the upload window use the media browser in the lower left hand corner of the upload windows - media ==> photos ==> iPhoto

    How do I save a PDF ready for print. I have a problem with the fonts. The fonts are blurry after printing. There is a trick in saving PDF.

    Hi el_giclee,
    Important to note from the beginning is that when you create your Photoshop document make sure you chose 300 Pixels/inch as your resolution.
    I'm interested in seeing your Save Adobe PDF dialog box after you choose to save the PDF.
    Could you post a screenshot of this dialog box with the Compression menu selected on the left side?
    It's a good idea to select High Quality Print or Press Quality in the Adobe PDF Preset menu at the top of this box. It will automatically select the best default settings for a printed piece.

  • I can't go further "waiting for Printer Services" on Mac OS X 10.3 can U?

    Evening, I'm a new user, and ocassionally use my iBook.I turned it on but it takes ONE HOUR to get to the prompt Waiting for Printing Services. I was advised to re boot but no success, I guess this all happened after i tried to update latest version.
    I appreciate if you can help!!!

    I am working on a friend's Ibook, I am a PC IT, and know very little about Mac's so please bare with me in helping (1st grade Mac user).
    In my Mac fixing journey, I have used:
    1. Repair Disk = no repairs found to fix
    2. Repair Permissions = stalls and gives a prompt disconnected quit and restart, did that same prompt
    3. Booted in safe mode, gets to the same point "waiting for Printing Services" and then fades out and shuts itself down after a long period.
    4. I have tried to holding down opt, apple, p & r keys to reset "pram" = no go.
    5. Removed the power source and batter to reset computer.
    6. Booted computer connected into the printer and not connected to the computer. Same freeze place.
    After all this being done,and reading alot in here, I purchased disk warrior, it corrected a few errors, rebuilt and rebooted...only to come back to "waiting for Printing Services" and then freeze.
    Anyone have anything else they can help me with, that might get me passed this problem??

  • Getting ready for printing...

    I have a Canon G12 and shoot in RAW format. I know the native aspect ration for this camera in RAW is 4:3. I also know already that the two sizes of finished prints I am interested in are 8x10 and 16x20. After importing the images from my camera into my computer (and into Aperture), I can see that the pixel dimensions for my RAW images are 3648x2736 for portrait (and vice versa for landscape).
    After making whatever color correction and changes to the image, I am happy with what I have. So moving onto the crop and aspect ration and dpi settings - and then the export to have an altered and saved new image to send off for printing - this is where I feel totally lost.
    For example...the crop sizes listed, I see 4x5/8x10 - my understand is that these sizes...4x5, 8x10, 16x20 - they are all the exact same aspect ration - so no matter how big or small I want to print the image, as long as I want one of those sizes, it would be fine, correct?
    When I initially click on the 4x5/8x10 selection, it puts a small crop area in the center of the photo. But it allows me to drag the corners to enlarge the crop area, so I am curious to know...is the 4x5/8x10 crop area that initial smaller section, or is it still the same even if I click and drag ou the corners making it larger.
    Does anyone know also, how/where do I change the dpi to 300?
    And lastly, how do I know if I have enough pixels to make an 8x10 or a 16x20. I have RAW files and JPEGS - and they all vary in pixel dimension. Is there a simple process to figure out if what I see on the computer screen will look the same as a finished print?

    Excellent questions ... that cover a lot of ground.
    3648 / 2736 = 1.333333333.  The aspect ration is 4:3.
    Are you printing from Aperture or sending a file out to be printed?  If printing from Aperture, all you need to do is create a Version that is ready to print, and then print it.  Printing from Aperture is an export-and-print operation -- there is no need to export the file and save it.
    (This is worth understanding.  In Aperture, you make Images that are ready to be exported (or printed), but you don't create files (or prints) until you need them.)
    The aspect ratio has no units -- it is just a ratio.  It describes not the size of a rectangle, but the ratio of the sides of a rectangle.  4:3, 8:6, 1.33:1 are all identical aspect ratios.
    Once you have set the aspect ratio, you can set the size (and position) of your rectangular crop by dragging the crop box handles or the crop box itself.
    Generally speaking, you will want at least 150 pixels for each inch to be printed, and don't need more than 300.  150 ppi is a slightly impracticable minimum -- you will likely want to use some sophisticated up-rezing to get a stellar print.  200-250 ppi is enough.  300 ppi is plenty.  All of this is based on norms of printers, ink, papers, and display (distance, lighting) that may or may not fit your needs.
    For a 16" x 20" print that looks good at arm's length 3,200 x 4,000 pixels should suffice.
    Aperture includes soft-proofing.  You select a profile of the printer, paper, and the printing settings, and Aperture will apply this to your Image and show you what should be a match.  Soft-proofing is complicated.  At a minimum, you will need a high-quality monitor and hardware calibration.
    The User Manual covers much of this in detail particular to Aperture, including a section on Proofing.  Well worth reading.

  • Packaging .AI file to PDF ready for printer - MAC Tiger user

    Hallo, I need some help please about sending artwork to printer who is using a FUJI colour Laser printer. (like most printers who are using laser here they reply to me to simply send them PDF, when I ask about embedded profiles or not to embed they tend to look at me blankly and say just send them a proof for me to compare colours)?!?!?!?
    So, Please could someone confirm wether or not I have applied the best setting in my PDF conversions: I am running CS3 creative suite and acrobat version 8.0. thanks.
    When you get the PDF options window on the " save Adobe pdf", On the first GENERAL page I set this to PDF/x-1a, (but why is there also the standard tab where I can do the same thing? so I set this also to PDF/x-1a. The compatibility goes to acrobat 4.0.
    I now go to OUTPUT. here I set the following:
    Colour conversion -- convert to destination preserve numbers
    Destination (since this is laser I set it to -- Generic cmyk profile
    Profile inclusion policy is grayed out.
    In PDF/X box under output intent profile name is set to Generic cmyk, and that is all.
    Before i did all this my global colour settings management policy is set to FOGRA27 (iso 12647-2:2004) and adobe RGB 1998 for the photos from photoshop cs3 of course. I then convert the document to the generic cmyk profile before packaging it into PDF and assigning these settings.
    I have searched everywhere for detailed tutorials about precisely how to pakage your work for an outside printer, but the web is silent when it comes to laser printing. I would love to know if there are any resources which cover all the issues of preparing your artwork for print since this side of the job is a minefield of complicated presets and flattening and font changing techniques.
    I am a memeber of Lynda.com and while they are excellent teachings and professional, I have unfortunately not been able to learn the gritty detailsof printing from them, only the basics.
    I appreciate the person who takes the time to reply to this.
    I thank you.
    Kind regards
    Chris Watts

    Your settings should do the job adequately, but there is a much simpler and more reliable method. Get Acrobat Professional. Generate your artwork in AI and save it as an .eps file. Then use Acrobat Distiller to generate the .pdf file. The advantages are that AD produces MUCH smaller file sizes, much better .pdf files and has a number of presets from which to choose, depending on the intended purpose of the file.
    Another hint as far as quality control is concerned - you should be working in the CMYK color space in Photoshop, if you are going to produce CMYK images in the .pdf file. CMYK is a narrower color space than RGB, so there is often a color shift upon conversion. You may have the image exactly the way you want it, as an RGB, but be disappointed in the printed version because of the shift in color during conversion. If you work in CMYK, you can adjust it to get the results you want.

  • Using a Publish Service for print service prep

    I'm just starting to work out a new way to prepare images for sending to a (consumer grade!) print service using a Publish service, and realized I should harness the power of this corner of the Lightroom community to see if my ideas are sound. Feel free to add comments or suggestions.
    Here's what I'm doing:
    - For each size and processing option (e.g., 5x7, Matte) create a hard drive Publish Service.
    Set options appropriately, such as:
    - Filename for clarity. I use custom name + orig file number. (There appears to be a small display bug, in that the example displayed will show the " dng.jpg")
    - Given what I've learned about Lr and JPEG compression, I reduce the quality to 80% or so for a nice quality/size balance. I don't want to have to muck with this too much.
    - My service does not have an ICC profile for me to use, but assure me that AdobeRGB is accepted by their equipment.  So that's what I'll use. (One day I'll try out a pro service that understands that a simple thing like an ICC profile makes us feel warm and fuzzy.)
    - Resizing to fit. I set to never enlarge (though it should never happen that I have to enlarge) and set the dimensions to whatever I need for this service: 5x7, 4x6 &etc. Hints on optimal dimensions for getting nice borderless prints of a certain size accepted! I know that not all dimensions are created equal.
    - I'll assume that the default resolution is fine, but I ought to do my research for when to modify this when I get into 8x10 or larger formats.
    - Sharpening for print and paper type for this publish service.
    - My service has no reasonable file size limitations, so I just let the exported files get created at any size.
    - I minimize keywords.  Makes much smaller files because who needs keywords in prints? I have Metadata Wrangler, so I might insert that and have it leave in the minimal set of MD, like ICC profile and copyright info.
    So, given this, I can process my images as usual, make a number of crops (just to be a perfectionist) and then drag them to appropriate service where they end up in a hierarchy of folders ready for uploading.
    What am I missing?
    BTW, I'm not using the Print module because it was too tweaky trying to get it to make JPEGs that would print borderless.  Feel free to set me straight on that if you like.

    You only get one opportunity to set up the hard drive under publish and the folder cannot be changed unless you get a plug-in to provide a work around.

  • How do I create a collage in iPhoto that is NOT meant for printing?

    I often want to create simple photo collages that I can embed in blog posts, etc. This is a one-click operation in Picasa but the only way I've found to do it in iPhoto so far is to pretend I'm creating a card, then open it in Preview, copy the bit I want and paste into a new file, save as a .jpg and reimport that into iPhoto so I can send it to Flickr or wherever. This is very far from elegant. Am I missing something, or does iPhoto genuinely lack this very simple bit of functionality?

    This is not a feature of iPhoto.

  • Will the officejet 6500a plus be ready for printing when the mains supply is turned on

    I am considring the purchase of an Officejet 6500a Plus (duplex is a prime reason) it will be used in a home office environment with Win 7 operating system. I can remotely swithch on the mains supply to the printer and router. Will the printer be available to print (after start up checks) without further intervention?  eg. do i need to depress the start button on the printer?
    Many thanks in anticipation Jimbow

    The printer should come up "ready" after a minute or so and accept print jobs without any intervention on the front panel.  
    That said, it would be much better to leave the printer turned on and let the automatic power management take care of putting the printer into a low power state.  If you remove power from the printer remotely there is a risk of having the printheads not properly capped after a print job.  This can cause the printheads to dry out, causing print quality issues.  It will also result in extra ink being used when the printer power is restored as more servicing will be performed on the printhead.

  • Need help getting ready for print

    I am running Photoshop CS5 on a Mac 10.8.4.
    I have basic photoshop experience. 
    My designer has left me in the lurch at a daedline and I need to get some material to the printer ASAP.
    The design is finished.
    The printer wants all the text outlined and the images embedded then a "high quality PDF" submitted to print.
    Please can someone tell me how to outline text and imbed images. (I know how to savw to PDF).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Select a Text Layer and invoke
    Type > Convert to Shape
    to make the text layer a layer with a vector mask.
    As for embedding images if you create the pdf in Photoshop I don’t see the relevance of the request.
    But the settings you choose for Compression and Output are relevant factors.
    Which Color Space does the printer request? (And please don’t say CMYK …)
    What is the Color Space and Color Mode of the file you work on?

  • Getting ready for print...HELP!!!

    Ok, so I'm working with another designer (honestly I am, it's not me, LOL) who has laid out a magazine we're working on in InDesign CS3. He sends the exported .PDF file(s) to the printer only to have them reply back saying that there is no bleed on the pages. I check out the files he's done and low and behold the document was setup at 8.5x11. The designer says its ok, he can change the export options to add the bleed in, so he does that and the printer still says there is no bleed.
    Now, correct me if I'm wrong but does InDesign shrink everything down to fit inside of an 8.5x11 and then add the bleed, therefore not actually resizing the document to 8.75x11.25?
    Should the designer have started out with a page size of 8.75x11.25 in the first place?

    Any items that need butt up against the page edge (bar the items that are towards the middle (spine) ) need to be extended past the page edge.
    Make sure that any Type that has to appear in the printed version is kept away from the page edge as you don't want type to be trimmed off.
    You need to physically make them larger by going to each page. Looking at all the page items and using the selection tool to drag the handles out so that the image/frame etc. come right off the page (about .125pt)
    You can set up a guide in File>Document Setup>More Options and Bleed
    That will put a red guide around each page to show you where items need to be out as far as to be included for when you export the pdf with bleed.
    If there is nothing in the area then nothing will be exported in that area.
    DO NOT resize your document.

  • Editing multipage PDF in Illustrator for print service bureau

    I have a series of 4-page PDFs that I've edited in Illustrator and resaved back into the original files, which were created in Quark (not by me, and the Quark files are not available). My client will have these printed by a professional service bureau, so I want to be sure there'll be no problems with the files I send them. If I outline all fonts, is there anything else I should be aware of?
    Thanx for any help.

    This depends on your service bureau, adn if they prefer .ai files or .pdf files.
    The advantge to a .pdf file is that the service bureau prints the file as is, and it is quick for them.
    The advantage to .ai, is that the service bureau has more control over the file, and have more power to make changes and they can get your job done right if they want to put the time into imaging this.
    I would consult your service bureau for which PDF compression works best for them. The most important thing is that you comb over your file prior to making a .pdf to check for things(eg: are blacks using consistlently the same CMYK breakdown, do you want rich blacks of 60c 40my 100K, is everything bold or thin enough, etc).
