Can I reprint dust cover for iphoto book?

I just received a book I created with iphoto. On the dust cover, there is a photo that is not formatted correctly (although it looks good in iphoto). I had created a PDF to preview before I ordered the book and didn't notice the problem. So, the question is.... Is there some way I can order just a replacement dust cover without paying $50 for a reprint of the whole book.
thanks
John S.

No - possibly a local print shop can print one from the preview PDF
You can contact Apple (contact us link is at the bottom of every page of the forums) but as far as I know they do not offer that

How do you place the photo to be on the cover in iPhoto books?

How do you place the photo to be on the cover in iPhoto books? In try to make a book in iPhoto I find it impossible to choose a photo for the cover. I try to make a photo a key photo, i put it at the front of the selections, i give it the most stars but somehow another photo is selected and I can't change the selection. Help. Thank you. iPhoto 9.5.1

You are welcome
I hope your book will be great. Once you finish the book, make a preview and check it carefully, before uploading the book to Apple.
Keep the preview for your records, until you receive the printed copy.

Low budget image proofing for iPhoto book order

Hello!
I want to prepare my photos the best I can for iPhoto book ordering (Christmas present for family).
I have a Dell U2711 attached to a Mac Mini running OS X 10.6.8 and iPhoto '11 9.2.1. and a Canon Selphy CP520 dye sub printer which I thought to use as a precheck of what my JPG sRGB images would look like when printed in a book.
Here's my headache:
If I set up the monitor and calibrate the display profile as suggested in post #1 under this thread then such setup makes me color correct the photos by RADICALLY pushing the midtone slider in the levels adjustments to the left (brightening the picture). Prints that come out of the Selphy under this setup are a perfect match to what I see on the monitor and that is wonderful. However, I hesitate to order a book using such images because they appear far too bright on an iMac for example. (Perhaps I should mention that Google logo in Safari looks like its on steroids in this setup).
On the other hand, if I set up the monitor as it came from factory (PC gamma, standard preset), and use the default DELL U2711 display profile in SystemPreferences, then pictures look relatively ok on screen without any radical color correction. But prints that come out of Selphy with this setup don't match what is on the display, prints are too dark, and again I hesitate to order a book with such images.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Mato

Yes - don't try so hard and use your Mac and iPhoto - not a PC
iPhoto is designed as a consumre level program for point and shoot comeras - many people (including me) report excellent results using it that way - load sRGB photos form a digital camera and do minimal processing on them - never do major color adjustments - using iPhoto - preview rthe book -
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
and order
Apples comments on this are here
Of the negative comments posted here nearly all of them were from people who spend lots of time and energy adjusting photos trying to second guess the printing process and failing to do so - Apple does have an unconditional sastisfaction guarentee - do it the simple way - less is more in this case

How can I get a refund for a book

Can I get a refund for a book I purchased in iBooks? I did not like it, it was stupid and want my money back.

Try using the Report a Problem link in your receipt. I doubt just calling it "stupid" will impress anyone. Best provide details on why it was not as advertised, etc.

Dust Cover for 24 inch iMac Intel

Simple question: anybody come across any company that is making a dust cover for the 24 inch iMac Intel ?
I've seen them for the small screens, but not for the 24 inch, except on welovemacs.com which seems to only ship in the US. A Europe or UK outlet would be useful.
Thanks

How can I create or customize an iPhoto book theme?

I am looking for a way to make a new book theme in iPhoto, so a group of photographers can create portfolios with a consistent style. I have had complete success doing this with Aperture, but not everyone has Aperture!
So far, for iPhoto, I have done the following:
1. Copied one of the existing themes in /Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Themes;
2. Renamed all the files, and references to files to my new theme name;
3. Copied the necessary files in the /Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Themes/Shared folder.
This works, in as much as I see the new theme in the choices in iPhoto. However, the pages are blank, and not editable. The only way to make them editable again is to change the "CFBundleIdentifier" back to an existing theme, eg "com.apple.framework.iPhoto.Contemporary-Hardcover"
I have scoured the system, and I can not see any frameworks folders or files identified by iPhoto themes. Is "com.apple.framework.iPhoto.Contemporary-Hardcover" a call to a compiled function in the program itself? In other words, is this something only Apple can alter, or does anyone have any new leads for me to follow?

This is not an exact match of what you point to as an example, but you might conisder it...

Play with the various adjustments and see if it is something you can use.

Cover on iphoto book I am creating

I have OSX 10.9.5
I am creating my first iphoto book. I have having trouble on the cover. Is it possible to have a plain cover with no photo printed on it?

Just to illustrate what LarryHN recommended - if you create a picture with a uniform background by taking a screenshot or drawing a nuform rectangle in Preview, you can drop that picture onto the title page of your book. Use the Picture Book theme or any other theme that has full page title photos.
For example, I made a screenshot of a black rectangle and used it as the title photo with the Picture Book theme:

Custom page layouts for iPhoto books- bleeds and type

I've been digging through the forum for info on creating custom page layouts. I have the basics: print PDF (to capture the page BG and graphics elements), manipulate in PhotoShop and place the custom page as a full page photo.
How does iPhoto deal with bleeds? Since I'm trying to recreate the style of the other pages I'd like it to match.
Is all type in an iPhoto book rasterized? The printed PDF retains type. Will rasterized type in PS layouts match "native" text in iPhoto?
I haven't purchased a book yet and I'm wondering if the book is sent to Apple as a PDF with vector data. If that's the case can custom pages be inserted into the PDF with vector type intact?
Thanks all!
rg

gatz:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I don't know much about bleeds but you can manipulate it in the iPhoto preference file with Pref Setter.
Regarding the rasterized type, you'll have to give it a try and then create a pdf of the book to check it out. In iPHoto 5 we used to be able to get a copy of the pdf file that was uploaded to Apple but in V6 that's not possible. I think the pdf file may be the same as we get when creating it via Print to PDF. Here's the info I received from Apple about book quality and materials:
I contacted Apple and asked for information that I could pass on. Here's the reply I received from Apple:
"Thank you for contacting the Apple Print Products Customer Service.
I understand that you would like to know the printing process that is used and the color mode the files should be in, so you can better advise users in the iPhoto forum.
iPhoto version 4 or later, allows you to import and print files through the Apple Print Product service as RGB, grayscale, or CMYK color space. JPEG files with RGB color space are recommended for best results.
While iPhoto 2 can import files of various formats, including RGB color, grayscale, and CMYK, this version requires JPEG files with RGB color space when printing photos and books.

Here are some of the technical specifications for the books, cards, and calendars. I hope this gives you an idea about their quality and form.
BOOKS
All iPhoto books are printed using acid-free paper for long-lasting image quality. The photos are printed at a high resolution (300DPI if you use iPhoto 6). There is no external modification--such as sharpening or contrast adjustment--of the photos; what you see in the application is what is printed in the book.
Hardcovers Books
The cover is hard-bound and covered in linen. You select the linen color during the book-ordering process. The hardcover books have a solid, stiff binding that is glued and crimped. The internal pages, measuring 8.5 x 11 inches, are printed on McCoy 100# Text Gloss paper stock.
Softcover Books
The softcover books come in three sizes:
- Large 8.5 x 11 inches
- Medium 6 x 8 inches
- Small 2.6 x 3.5 inches
All of the softcover books have internal pages that are printed on McCoy 100# Text Gloss paper stock. The large softcover book has a white cover (Kromekoteplus Folding Cover, 16 point) with a cutout on the front that reveals the cover-page photo in the book. The covers for the medium and small softcover books have the cover image and title printed directly on the cover. All of the softcover books have a glued binding and feature a thick cover of McCoy 100# Cover Gloss paper stock.
CARDS
All cards are printed on McCoy 120# Silk Cover paper stock. The postcards measure 4 x 6 inches, and the greeting cards measure 5 x 7inches.
CALENDARS
All calendars measure 8 x 10 inches and are printed on McCoy 100# Silk Cover paper stock.
To ensure the best print quality, we have chosen to use Kodak NexPress technology. The press uses a dry toner, which is fused to the surface of the paper. Please see NexPress' site for more information:
KODAK NEXPRESS 2500 Digital Production Color Press
I hope you find this information helpful in answering questions on the iPhoto forum."

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.
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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How do i create a bleed wrap cover for a book?

I have a book I created in adobe framemaker 8.0, it is a 250 page manual, 7.5 x 9. I am now due to send it to the commercial printer and they want me to send a cover for a 'Perfect Bound' type binding.
Should I be using FM to do the cover or am I better off with a different adobe program?
If I use FM, do you have any advice in regard to book covers of this type?
Should the cover width be double the page width (18in) so that it can wrap around?
Any help you may provide is greatly appreciated.
Thanx,
William

William,
Along with what Arnis said, I'll add that you may be able to submit a PDF to a printer that is the same page size as the body pages, with separate pages for the front and back. A printshop should be able to impose the cover for you and in doing so, automatically account for the thickness of the book. I believe it is standard for a printshop to have this kind of software.
In general, I agree that FM is an adequate choice for this project, as long as it has sufficient typography and graphics controls that match your requirements. Most likely it does, but if you need highly-advanced layout tools, you might have to consider InDesign.

Fonts for iPhoto book

I would like to use a special font in my iPhoto book (hardcover large size). When I Preview the book, the font shows up as it should, but I'm not sure if it gets embedded in the document sent to Apple when you go "Buy Book" or not.
Also, books are generally printed only in sets of 4 pages (4 sides). Mine comes to a number that is a multiple of 4, but the dustcover and outside cover are included in that number. Will Apple automatically insert white pages to make up the difference? or should I add 2 more pages?
Thank you for your help!!

Preview your book before you place your order. In general, what you see is what you get: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040

As long as your book is within the Min/Max number of pages listed here, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3412, whatever you see in iPhoto is what you will get in the printed version of the book (as far as number of pages goes)
Hope that helps.

Print quality / resolution for iPhoto books

Hi -
I am getting ready to upload my first iPhoto book for printing, and a colleague told me to beware of a potential issue. After searching these forums, and searching Google, I found that people in the past (perhaps prior to iPhoto '08?) have had print quality problems when printing 8.5 x 11 books vs. 6x10 books.
Basically, we are creating an 8.5 x 11 book and will have several books printed by Apple. At some point in the future, we will make similar books at the 6x10 size. Will the photos that are included in the books print at similar quality?
Thanks -

I have ordered books in the past that were made up of photos 1600 x 1200 pixels in dimension and they came out fine. HOWEVER, I had no pages with a photo filling the entire page as Larry warned about.
