  • Can iPhoto be used to restore old photos

    I have an 8X10 1970 image taken with a kodak camera. The color is bleached out of the photo from being exposed to sunlight for many years, only the edges that were hidden by the frame have retained some color. Is there a way to use iPhoto to restore it?

    Is there a way to use iPhoto to restore it?
    It will depend on how bad the image corruption is.
    As Larry said, iPhoto's tools are limited and meant to be used with new photos, not for image restoration.
    The bleaching will have done two things - shift the color, because the different pigments will be deteriorated differently. And reduce the saturation.
    Open the "Adjust" panel in the "Edit" panel.
    Try first to get the color right by using the White Correction tools. Click the color picker and sample a spot that should be gray. Then adjust the Temperature and tint sliders. This will only work, if the color deterioration is the same in all parts of the image.
    Then adjust the saturation of the photo.
    If you cannot get the colours right, you might consider to change the photo to "Black&White" by using the B&W Effect.  Sometimes older photos will still look great as B&W, if you adjust the contrast.

  • What is the ideal resolution for photos when creating a photo book in iphoto?

    Can you tell me what is the ideal resolution for photos I use to create a photo book from my iphoto library? 

    The DPI depends on the size of the image to be printed by the image file.  A 639 x 960 image could print a 3.5  x  5 photo at 180 DPI.  This website explains it further: The Myth of DPI.  
    So use the smaller photos only in the smaller frames on multiple photo layouts for best results.

  • Is iPhoto comparable to Picaboo (Windows) for photo books?

    Hello... I am a Windows user who is considering switching to a MacBook Pro laptop, and am currently investigating which of my software is available for the Mac. One product I use to create printed photo books is called Picaboo. I like the ease of creating books with this software but in particular I like the quality of the photobooks. Since I have never used a Mac, I would like to know if the quality of the books is good, and if the process of creating the books is "user-friendly." Thank you!

    kmrunner:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It's hard to say as the perceived quality is a user thing. If there's an Apple Store near you take one of your books in and compare it to the display book they should have. (Call them in advance to save yourself a trip if they don't).
    I've liked what I got in the large, hardcover books. They are family orientated books and were excellent for the intended use. Can't say as much for the medium sized books. They had a halftone pattern that was visible to the naked eye under good illumination. Again, they were satisfactory for the intended use, a memory book of an outing with the grandkids.
    If you the the MBP and are not happy with the iPhoto books you could run Windows on it with Parallels just to use Picaboo. But that will mean using a good amount of disk space for Windows, etc. just for that one application. Something you'll have to weight the pros and cons of.
    The book creation process is very easy in my estimation. I do have a suggestion if you do come over to the "light" side and that's to create a separate iPhoto Library for each book so you can save that library folder to disk in case you want to order another copy at a later date. Apple doesn't keep the file on had for use in ordering other copies, at least not at this time. But that's something you can consider after you get up and running with the MBP. Good luck and hope to see you here later.
    Another tip: wait until the MacWorld Expo is over or nearly over to buy if you're going to buy. Then you'll be assured of the newest software, installed on the MBP as the Expo is usually the time they release the newest version of iLife and others.

  • .Issue with creating a photo book in Iphoto error message states some frames are missing images, but I've checked each one and from I can see they are all filled in. It won't let my buy the book though

    Having an Issue with Creating a photo Book in Iphoto. I continue to get an error message when clicking on "Buy Book" The error indicates that I'm missing a frame or frames from the book. I've checked this many times and cannot locate the issue. The book appears to be complete from my perspective. What can I do now? I worked very hard on this and would hate to lose it all.

    How did you check the book? Did you preview it?
    See:
    iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture
    Is that the message?
    "your book seems to have frames on one or more pages that do not contain photos. You must either change the layout of those pages or place photos in those frames before you can buy this book."
    The most common reason for this error is, that you have used a page layout that needs a background photo and you have not yet added the backdrop. Then the book is still showing some default grayscale image.
    Check, if one of your page layouts is using this background:
    Then you need to add a photo to the background of the page.

  • What can I use to create a photo banner/collage that is free formed. I'll need background colors and ability to place 5 or more pics in a horizontal row? Does adobe have a product i can use to create this?

    thanks

    You can select 5 (or more images) and place them by dragging in Adobe InDesign. After creating document go to File > Place, navigate to images and select them. In InDesign start dragging and press right arrow key couple of times then release mouse button. You can export file as PDF, JPG, PNG image from File > Export.

    At the bottom of the photo tray at the right click on the Clear Placed Photos button.  This will remove the photos from the pages but not from the book.

  • How can i create a photo book from 2 libraries easily?

    This is my situation.
    I want to create a photo album of my child for the past year for parents/grandparents etc from the photos on mine AND my wifes macbooks. Before iphoto 9.5 i would simply look at her shared library from my iPhoto and use hers and my photos to make a book.
    Now there is no shared library in 9.5, so after doing my homework on how apple wants us to do this now, I started a shared iCloud photostream ('kid' 2013) and invited my wife to it. I started adding photos from my library, and she did the same. All good i thought, but no. Becasue the photo stream only sorts by 'date added' not date taken, and in fact I cannot even see the date the photo was taken in the photostream, it means making a chronological photo book from both our photo libraries has now been made impossible.
    Anybody got any other ways to do this?

    Create an album, and then select all photos in the Shared Photo Sream and add them to the album. In the album you can see the dates of the photos in the Info panel. Then sort your album by date, and create the Photo Book from the album, not directly from the shared stream.

  • When creating a photo book how can I sort the photos shown by file name?

    I am creating a photo book. The photos shown in the right hand column appear out-of-order. How do I sort them by file name? The album in iPhoto the book is based on is sorted by file name.

    You can not - they are soreted by date
    --  the only solution I have seen is to put them in an album sorted the way you and and then use the batch cnage command to redate them with a small invrement between so a data sort matches your desired sort  --  I personally do not want to redate a bunch of my photos nor do i want  to have to go through and un-re- date a bunch

  • I've created a Photo Book in iPhoto, it quits uploading halfway through.

    I've spent many days creating a Photo Book using iPhoto and now I'm ready to order it! But twice now it quits halfway through the uploading process. How can I figure out what the problem is? I was really looking forward to see this project as a finished product.

    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.

  • How does iPhoto sort when creating a photo book

    My problem. When I create a photo book in iPhoto, it sorts in random. I have by date selected, and I need the pictures to flow based on the date.
    Where am I missing it?

  • When creating a photo book, how can one import photos older than 12 months?

    I am trying to create a photo book (I'm using iPhoto 11).  For my project, I'm trying to access photos older than 12 months, but that is not an option in the photo library at the right of the screen. 
    I have tried to click and drag the old photos into my project event.  They show up fine in "photos" but do not show up in the photo library!
    I have also found that photos downloaded from a CD do not show up in the photo library either.
    Anyone have any thoughts?

  • IPhoto freezes when I try to create a photo book

    iPhoto 9.5.1, MacOS X 10.9.5
    I create photo bokks with iPhoto since 2006 and never had a problem with that. The last book I created was just 2 months ago.
    Now I tried to create another photo book with appr. 300 photos, but whenever I click "New Book" iPhoto will show the beachball for 10 or more minutes. When I quit iPhoto and restart it, it will ask to repair the mediathek because that is corrupted. However, even after the repair I cannot create a new book!
    Please help!

    As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists when trying to create a new book. Does it?
    NOTE:  FWIW I prefer to create a new library for each book I make because that way I can isolate it from the day to day usage that my main library gets.  It helps isolate it from accidental deleting of photos already in the book in case I want to order another copy at a later date.  The library is small enough that it can be "archived" to a CD or DVD disk. I use the paid version of   iPhoto Library Manager to transfer the photos I want in the book from my main library to the book library.
    You will still need to determine what is wrong with your main library.

  • I have created 2 photo books and would like to merge them into one. How can I do this?

    I have created 2 photo books and would like to merge them together.  How can i do this?

    You can't just merge them. You will have to add the photos of Book B to Book A and add new pages to A to duplicate those in B.
    NOthing was said about copying and pasting - you add the photos from book B to book a, add pages to bbok a and recreate teh pages in book a
    Another way would be to print book B to PDF sending the PDF to iPhoto and then placing the pages as full page images in book A

  • Quality of photo when creating a photo book from iphoto

    i am in the process of creating a photo book however i am downloading pictures from facebook and i am not sure if the qulaity will be good enough for print, will i be told during this process as i havent been yet and dont want to pay for something that isnt right. thanks

    There is another potential issue. While you may have enough pixels, the plain fact is that not all pixels are the same. When a photo is uploaded to Facebook they 'process' it - and in the course of that throw away about 90% of the data in the file. What that means is that a lot of the character and depth of the photo may be lost when printed. Unfortunately, this is not something that iPhoto can warn you about.
