Calendar theme editing? Changing layout of Calendar photo's.

I want to rearrange photos on calendar in a slightly rotated layout. That is not perfectly vertical or horizontal. I want to lay them on the calendar in MY arragnement rather than the canned layouts from Apple.
Is there anyway to rotate photos just a little off horizontal/vertical?
Is there a way to create MY own Calendar theme?
Are there other Calendar themes available?

MacFire21:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What theme are you using and which layout?
The answer to all of your questions is no. BUT, if you choose a one photo/page layout you can create a collage of the photos you want in the location you want and save as a 4:3 ratio image file an use that. That would take a 3rd party editor however. There is a free one, Seashore, that can do the job. If you plan on doing a lot of advanced editing I recommend Photoshop Elements. It's, IMO, the best consumer editor out there. Here's an example so some of the advanced editing you can do with it.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

Change layout of a photo in Aperture slideshow

Hi all,
Yesterday I upgraded to Mountain Lion so I could buy Aperture (3.3.2) for the sole purpose of having more control over creating photo slideshows.
In iPhoto 11, I was creating nice slideshows using themes, but if I made any adjustments, such as deleting a photo, iPhoto would not adjust the frames. So portrait photos would go in landscape frames and vice-versa. I was hoping to be able to control the frames better and make adjustments in Aperture.
This seems like not too much to ask for a program like Aperture to me. Am I missing something? Is it really too much to ask to select which frame I want to put pictures into? Or at least trash a specific frame that doesn't fit the pictures well and receive another?
What do other people do to get around this problem?

In general the answer is no.
Aperture isn't a photo editor like The Gimp or PS. So if you're looking to do 'green screen' type of mods, were you isolate the foreground and change the background then no you can't.

I'm editing a lot of wedding photos. For some reason, I have to double click on some of the photos to actually see my changes. It is not the case for all the photos in the folder.... only some of them. How can I make all the edited versions show?

I am editing a bunch of wedding photos. Everything has been fine until today..... I opened up the folder, and for some of the edited photos, I have to double click in order to see the edited version. So, when I look at all the photos in the browser, some of then show my changes..... others don't. I'm worried, because I will have to post them for the bride, and I am concerned about why this is happening. I still have the images on the memory card and also have a duplicate of all the photos in iphoto..... but I've spent hours editing these photos...... and I really don't want to start all over again.

What does "I caught my phone 4" mean?
All contacts, calendars, photos etc should be on your computer as the iphone is designed to be synced to your computer.
Just sync them to your new iphone.

Photos and layouts change size when adding photos in book layout

I am using the Classic layout to create books.
Sometimes, when I move a photo down into the layout, unpredictable things happen. For example, when I drag a photo down onto the page layout, sometimes the photo will change sizes, and sometimes the layout will move around (esp. with 3 or 4 images on a page). On a page with a single image, sometimes the photo comes in large, and sometimes it shrinks. On a 3 photo per page layout, sometimes the layout starts with 3 photo boxes in a row. I can add one or two, and then I add another (could be the 1st, 2nd or 3rd - it's the image file that I think triggers the change) and all the boxes scramble and instead of a row of 3 equal-sized boxes, now I have a page with 1 big and 2 small boxes. Totally unpredictable!
Is there any way to control this?
All the photo files I'm starting with are high resolution tiffs, around 8 inches square (most are squares, not 4x6 snapshots) at 300 dpi.
I have had this issue on 3 computers (and probably 2 different versions of iPhoto): a 2-year-old G5, and two brand new iMacs.
Any help or advice is welcome. Thanks.
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

If you Control-click on the square photo in a book frame you can select the "Fit photo to frame size" option and the entire image will be contained in the frame. there will be some white space on the short side.

I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it.

Calendar photo quality problem

Is there anything that I can do to improve on the low quality print warning that shows up on many of my calendar photos? Is there some adjustment other than selecting fit to frame? Many of these photos were emailed to me from relatives. Most of them are from point and shoot cameras. What is RGB? The photos are in jpeg format. I'm afraid, after many hours of work, that they won't print well. Any suggestions would be appreciatd

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What are some of the pixel dimensions of the photos giving the warning? Apple gives that warning when the resolution falls below 180 dpi. So for a 5x7 frame you would get a warning if you photo was smaller than 1260 x 900. Knowing what the pixel dimensions of the photos are can let you estimate how much under the 180 limit the photo is for the size of the frame in the calendar you put it in. I personally wouldn't worry at 150 dpi as I've printed at that level before and go good results. It's all depends on what your expectations are.
As far a the color profile goes I doubt any of the jpgs would have CMYK. Digital cameras don't use that color mode.

I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

HT1338 I can see my photos in iphoto but can't email them, edit them or print them....help please!

I can see my photos in iphoto but can't email them, edit them or print them....help please!

First, what is the formatting of the external hard drive? It should be OS X Extended (journaled). You can determine it by selecting the EHD and typing Command + i.
Click to view full size
If it isn't formatted to that you should move the library off of it and reformat.
The "!" is an indication that the file path to the original file has been broken So make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
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 but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

HT1040 trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.

trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.
if i clear the book so that it is all blanks and then try to load in the pictures i have it loses the chronology of the pictures that i had established in the album.
is there a way to import photos into an ibook template and keep the original order of the photos without having to do them one at a time?
also, is there a way to insert a photo rather than just dragging it? i have tried the cut and paste funciton but it doesn't seem to work, the target site doesn't seem to register with iphoto.
many thanks for your help.

Photos are added to book in chronological order. So if you want to add them to a book in the order you have placed them manually in an album do the following:
1 - select all the photos in the album.
2 - use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option as shown here. Select any date and add 1 minute between photos.
3 - select just one photo from the album and create a book from it.
4 - in the book click on the Options button ➙ Book Settings button and make sure the checkbox for Auto-layout pages is unchecked.
5 - drag the album with your book photos onto the book icon and they will be imported into the Photos tray of the book in your pre-determined order but not into the pages themselves.

Can you edit a person from one photo and add them to another photo?

Can you edit a person out of one photo and add them to another photo? Like if you need the head shot from one photo to replace closed eyes in the other photo? Thanks.

Thank you very much! Does this require software to be purchased? I'm new to Photoshop.

Subject: Re: Can you edit a person from one photo and add them to another photo?
Welcome to the forum.
Yes, this is done often. You will need to create a Mask of that person, to separate them from the background of the original Image.
I like to do this with a Layer Mask, as it offers control, and really does not alter the Image, so you can go back and make changes.
Let's say that you have Image 01 w/ the head of your subject, and want to place it into Image 02. In Image 01, make a rough Selection. I would include a bit of extra background, as we will take care of that in a moment. With that Selection active, Copy the head shot. Go to Image 02, and Paste it. It will Paste in its own Layer. Ctrl+T (Free Transform) can be used to Scale and also position that Layer with the head. Once you have that Scaled and positioned about where you want it, create a Layer Mask. In QuickMask Mode, just paint in the additional Mask to remove all traces of the background that came in with the head shot. As you can paint OUT, and also paint IN the Mask, you can work on this, as many times as you wish - even next year.
For getting that Layer Mask looking good, work slowly, also see this http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/photoshop/l/blrbps_5agirl.htm.
I've got another tutorial, that addresses the hair area, and will post that, when I find my bookmark.
Good luck,

IPhoto '09: Exporting Edits changes photo to 72dpi

*How do I export photos I have edited in iPhoto '09 at the full 300dpi?*
I have made edits to some of my photos in iPhoto '09. These edits look 'great' so I want to export these ready to take to my local photo printing company (on USB stick).
However, I find *iPhoto changes my photos from 300dpi to 72dpi* either during the edit process or upon export.
If I select File Export and 'Original' it exports at 300dpi but without edits (understandable given non-destructive editing).
If I select File Export and 'Current' it exports the relevant edits but at only 72dpi.
If I select File Export and 'JPEG' - then Maximum Quality and Full Size - it exports at 72dpi.
I want to print these photos at large sizes and 72dpi is unacceptable. I need them at the 300dpi and want the edits to be included. What am I 'missing'??? I cannot see an answer through the forums and discussions to date...
*How do I export photos I have edited in iPhoto '09 at the full 300dpi?*
Many thanks!

Read the Myth of DPI - http://www.rideau-info.com/photos/mythdpi.html - and ignore it the DPI setting on the exported photos - it makes no difference - the important thing is the number of total pixels you have - not an artificial number like DPI

Exporting photos with editing changes

Hi, I am new to LightRoom. This question might be stupid, but I am having trouble exporting my photos and maintaining the editing changes that I have made. Here are the specifics: I made changes to many raw photos using LR on my desktop computer (Microsoft XP operating system). I then exported those photos, as raw photos and jpegs, to organize them within my hardrive and further edit at a later date. I recently purchased a MacBook Pro. I then copied those exported photos onto my external hard drive and copied them onto my MB. I then imported the file into LR and the original photos are there without any of the editing I did such as changing WB, sharpening, etc. I am wondering what I did wrong? Did I miss a step, fail to check or uncheck some box, or is this a issue with going between Mac and Windows? Any suggestions?
Thank you,
carrie

One follow-up question...again, probably a naive one. Would I be able to tell the editing changes by looking at either the metadata or the developing tools of the jpg files that I edited in raw? Changes such as wb, sharpening, color boosting, etc. I am browsing through my jpgs and they don't appear to contain those editing changes that I speak of. Otherwise, Lee's answer makes sense to me. However, I am not sure if what my eye is perceiving is due to monitor differences. That is why I would like to see exactly if those changes registered.
Thanks,
carrie

Gmail, calendar, photos and docs

Very interested in the Ipod Touch for web browsing. I use gmail on my pc for mail, calendar, photos and docs.
After searching the forums I know I can view the email part of gmail, but can I view the photos/calendar and docs and if so can I edit any of these eg adding new appointments to the calendar?

Yes you can.
It works like a charm with those Google features....

Problem adding Photos, changing layout

I'm trying to create a Book and when I change layout or want to change the picture, the page goes blank and can't add/change photos or layout?

Since the new library worked OK indicates that your orignal library is damaged to the point that it's not repairable. We've tried all of the fixes we know about.
This may be your next step which would mean recreating the book from scratch:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Why would I want to change JPEG quality of photos when exporting them from iPhoto?

Why would I want to change JPEG quality of photos when exporting them from iPhoto? Changing the quality of the print changes the size of the saved file and thus impacts the speed at which it is moved on the internet. But other than size of the file, what is the advantage of changing the quality?

I have no idea why you would want to do anything
Some people want lower quality to reduce file size for different reasons
It is an option - if you do pot want to do that do not use that option
