Cannot create Kodak Photo Book with Elements 8

I'm trying to create a Kodak Photo Book with Elements 8. My system gets stuck in an eternal loop at the initial CREATE stage:
(Screen 1)
CREATE
What would you like to create?
Photo Book
(Screen 2)
Order Kodak Photo Book
Back to screen 1. Same is true if I select anything other than "Print with Local printer..."
Only resolution I can think of is to go back to Elements 7

Hi,
Can you please tell me your online services location. To find that out, you need to go to the Organizer. Go toEdit>Preferences>Adobe Partner Services. Click the "Choose" button for location and there you will find your online services location. It should be US & Canada for Kodak Photobook services to work.
Also can you please let me know whether you are trying to do this in organizer or Editor?
Best Regards,
Chhaya

Create a photo book in elements 10

Any tips on creating a photo book in Elements 10?
Thanks

Because Elements 10 used to communicate with photoshop.com and photoshop.com has been discontinued, there may be some cases where Elements 10 tries to communicate with photoshop.com until you sign it out.
IF you see ‘Welcome, xxx’ , click on it to sign-out.
As long as you don’t try to signin again, you should not see any additional error messages.
If the program is totally hung up in a loop trying to sign in, then force quit elements and you should not see this again.
Elements versions 11 and 12 communicate with Revel, but Elements 10 does not. You can save items from Elements 10 to your computer and then upload to Revel using adoberevel.com if you wish to save these items in Revel.

Creating a photo book with captions

I am using Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3 running on Windows. I have created a collection of photos that I want to have printed as an album. I want to maintain the captions and order that I have already set. My preference would be to do this on my desktop rather than uploading them to a service like Snapfish or Kodak Gallery (the upload process is nightmarish and it doesn't appear to maintain the captions). Any suggestions?
Ideally I would like to find a templated tool that would allow me to import my collection with its captions. Then I would send it to Snapfish or Kodak Gallery or Lulu for printing. Maybe I've missed something, but all of those folks seem to want me to upload my photos and then template the book on their site, adding captions manually. This is nuts, particularly if I've already done the work to add captions in Photoshop Album.
As a related question, is there some standard for tagging and captions for photos or does Photoshop Album use some proprietary method?

I can see the caption when I upload the photo to Kodak Gallery, but it doesn't show up when I place it in the photo book. I have a question in to their support team but I still wonder if anyone has had any luck making photo books with the captions created in Photoshop Album Starter.
And the bigger question is: what if I don't want to upload my photos? What if I'd rather make the book on my desktop? Is there any way to do that?

Problems creating Shutterfly Photo Book with PSE 9

Has anyone run across this problem. Searched the forum here, and nothing has come up. Created a photo book using the Elements 9 organizer. Selected the order button, it saved the files, transferred them, then opened a Shutterfly window to complete the order. Single Image that Shutterfly would show was the cover to center the title page image in a center cut space on the cover. The image looked compressed and not centered. Exited the program, re centered the image and selected order again. Same result, image looked centered but compressed. Went to the Shutterfly website in make sure that images were not compressed like that (since it saves your project under your profile). Instead found that some pages were correct, and some (like the title page) took an entire page that I made in Elements and compressed it into a single frame of a three framed picture page, for example. The whole project is a total mess! I'm just glad I looked on the Shutterfly site before pressing the purchase button and paying $30 for a book to be delivered looking like that! Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I pretty much used all of the prompts in elements to create the book, and since Shutterfly is supposed to be seamlessly integrated into this, I thought it would work without problems. Please let me know what I am doing wrong. Thanks,
Dave

Have seached this entire forum for help with this issues and there is nothing. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong??
Thanks!

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.

Photo book with iPhoto on iPad?

Hello is it possible to create a photo book with iPhoto on iPad? (Like with iPhoto on minimac)
Reg ratouns84

Nope.
The closest Apple app for that is Cards.

I created a photo book in Photoshop elements 11 that contains png files with the invisible backgrounds. When I export the book to a jpg or a pdf, the png files appear with white backgrounds.

jpg and pdf formats don't support transparency. You need to use a format such as tif, png or psd that does.

.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.

Printing Photo Book with 101+ Pages

Sorry if this has been previously posted, but I could not find anything on this topic. Does anyone know of an online service that will print a photo book with more than 100 pages? I have a photo book I have created in PS6 to commemorate my parents trip to Europe for their 50th anniversary. All that time and effort and then I find out Kodak will only print up to 80 pages! I would really appreciate any suggestions on this!
Thanks

Thanks Trish. My book is actually 140 pages & viovio only goes to 120. At this point, guess I will look at deleting 20 pages (tough!) and using them. They seem to be the best option so far!

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
suggest a change to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

Making a Photo Book with i Photo 5

I am in the process of creating a photo book in I Photo 5 using Classic Design theme. Is there any way to change the theme for a particular page. There are always 2 caption boxes under a picture in Classic theme and sometimes a name is automatically added in in the first box under each picture I add. I only want one text box under each picture and am not sure if both boxes will be printed out, even if there is no text in the box. When I choose 'Page type' and pick a number for pictures, then when I click 'Page Design,' it only shows me a box diagram of the number of pictures previously picked. I am not able to change the Page design. I am frustrated, would like different themes for different pages when I don't want text. Am tempted to switch to Shutterfly, but want to give this a chance. Have spent hours to this point getting the pictures ready.

there is no way to change a page on a specific theme. those pages on a theme are pre set and you cannot change them on the process of creating the book. sorry about that, hope this helps.
Cheers!

How does one create a photo book of a custom size? Only option available is 11x 8.5 inches

Please help me with the basic steps for creating a photo book in pse12 of a custom size e.g. 12x15
I want to create design using pse12 and get the album printed by a local vendor. Please help. I am stuck with the fixed size offered by Adobe.
I want to create Photoshop photo book in order to spread out few single images on 2 sheets. I won't be able to do the same if I create pages separately.
Thanks in advance.

Aha. You can't have two different page sizes in one single document.
You are right, you could do it with three separate documents, and 'glue' them together using a Book document. It's far easier to place a blank placeholder page in your actual document, and create a new doc just for the oversized page.
When the time comes to produce a final file (hopefully, a PDF), you can leave it as is -- two separate documents --, or use Acrobat to stitch the larger page into the main document (at the request of your printer).
