Change book size after design?

Is there any way to do this?  I've created a book in Extra Large, then looked at the price and though, "maybe a smaller size would be OK, and cheaper." But I can't seem to find a way to change the book size.  Is this not possible?  Do I have to redo the book again?
thanks for any help

Create a copy of your book (select the book (not the images in it) in the library inspector panel, then go to "File >Duplicate Book".
Open the copy of the book and click the "Theme Button" in the upper left corner of the Book panel and pick a different theme. Select a different size.
Changing the Book size may modify some text fields. That is why I recommend to try this with a copy of the book.

  • Can I change book size after its designed?

    I just spent hours getting my book just the way I want it but now realize I'd rather buy the larger size book than the smaller one I selected at the start of the project. Can I change the book size now before I purchase?

    yes - you can change size or theme
    duplicate the project before you make changes as a backup
    Then just change the size (go to themes, ignore the warning and select the new size) - your text may have to be adjusted although going larger probably is ok

  • Change book size mid-design

    I'm creating a book to print with blurb. I started on this project last year and I'm just getting around to finish it now, but I've designed the whole book to the wrong size. Is there any way to change the size of the book now? Or can you drag everything you've done on one book to another book to get it mostly there and then do the small size adjustments as needed?

    Greetings,
    With regard to human error apple haven't got an app for that yet.
    Save the book as a pdf. As you have all the photos ready to go again change your book size and copy/paste the text from your pdf.
    PS if you have been working on this for a year be careful that they don't bring out an extra extra large book before you finish it and have to start again.
    Merry christmas hope it all works out for you

  • Is it possible to change iPhoto book size after book is made?

    I made a book project in iPhoto.  After I was finished I decided I want to go from the extra-large book that I selected when I first started to a large book.  Is it possible to change the book size before ordering the book?

    Yes.  Command (right) - click on the book in the left hand pane and select Duplicate. 
    Open the duplicate copy and  go the Change Themes button and click on it.  In the next window you can change size within the same theme.
    The reason for the backup is in case the text might be lost or garbled up due to size changes in the text boxes. You can copy what is in the original library and paste it into the different sized library after adjusting text size if necessary.

  • Change book size but keep layout

    I am halfway through creating a 6 X 8 book, including a couple of pages I custom designed. I just noticed that this book size is available only in softcover, but I think I may want a hardcover book. I tried duplicating the book, then changing the duplicated book to the 8.5 X 11 hardcover size, but Aperture applies the "default" book layout and re-flows all my pictures! (I am glad I duplicated the book first, or a guess I would have lost everything.)
    Is there any way to tell Aperture that I want to maintain the same basic page layout (e.g., if page 3 has 4 horizontal photos, then I want page 3 in the new layout to have those same 4 photos, horizontal)? I know I may have to go through and do some general fixing up, but I would like to avoid aving to re-do the entire thing.

    As you've seen, your personalized layout won't transfer. The book will need to be redesigned using the new theme.

  • HOW TO: Change page size after page is created?

    Is there a way to change the size of a page after the page has been created? In the documentation, the only way I have seen to set the page size is in a "with" statement right after creating the document. I have need to change the size of the document after a document has already been created. Any ideas?

    Yep, that's how I am doing it. I just wanted to make sure that I was doing it correctly. I need to keep debugging then and figure out what the real problem is. I am new to all of this (obviously) and I just needed to make sure I had the idea correct. I didn't mean to use document and page interchangeably, I understand that you can't have different size pages in the same document.
    Thank you for your help.
    [FYI]I created a class that creates a document with most of the document settings that I use (e.g. a standard number of pages, non-facing pages, units in inches, etc.) but I don't specify a page size, that's something that varies between documents, so I figured I could just apply that after I have created the page. The problem is, when I try to create multiple documents it doesn't work. The script will create the first document using the default page size settings and I can't get it to change the page size, but then the next document will be created using the page size I tried to apply from the previous document that the script created. I am sure this is totally a coding error somewhere else. I will try to track it down. Just when I think I have this stuff figured out . . .

  • Change project size after recording

    Is it possible to change the project screen size after it has already been recorded? I have a presentation that was recorded at 670 px tall and would really like to shrink it back down to 800 X 600 so it can fit in a browser window without scrolling.
    Thanks,
    Whitney

    Hi there
    Try clicking Project > Rescale.
    Note that this will likely affect the overall quality of the project. I'd start by clicking File > Save As to preserve a pristine copy of the original.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Changing Book Size

    I have created an "Extra Large" book n Aperture 3.1, but want to order a "Large" version of it. However, when I change the size using "Change Theme", it loses all my layouts, text etc. Is there any way of doing this? Surely people must sometimes want to order multiple copies of the same book in different sizes (e.g. an extra large wedding album for the couple, then smaller versions of the same for the parents)?

    Sure - select teh book in the source pane on the left and duplicate it (just in case of problems) - depress the command key and type "D" - then go to chemes and select teh new size, verify that it worked and preview it -
    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.
    then order it

  • Looking to change book size but maintain my page layouts

    Is there a smart way of changing the book size in aperture but be able to maintain the page layouts. I dont want to redo the entire book. Any tricks or suggestions would be of immense help. I have custom layouts for images.

    I don't know of any way to do this, that is supported by Apple. If you change the theme or the book size, you will get the warning, that custom items and texts might change.
    Have you tried to duplicate your book and to change the size of the copy of the book? What are the custom items that are changing in your particular custom theme?

  • Change partition sizes after windows has been installed

    After I have installed windows onto my mac and have created the partitions, can and how do I change the size (in terms of memory) of the partitions without reinstalling all information?

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    you can use WinClone for this http://www.twocanoes.com/winclone/ and in here http://www.twocanoes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=515 you find a how-to.
    (Topic: My current Windows partition is the wrong size, and I want to make it larger. How do I do this?)
    Other people have used CampTune http://www.paragon-software.com/home/camptune/ successfully.
    Prior to doing this you should make/have a backup of your OSX and Windows files for safety.

  • Aperture changing pixel size after using Retouch/Repair/Clone tool?

    I apologize if this is a stupid question - I'm new to using Aperture and have a rudimentary knowledge (at best) about the mechanics of Aperture.
    I use the retouch tool on a portion of my photo, and the pixel size is reduced.  I want to maintain the original 12.0megapixels. How do I work with the photo without changing the pixel size - or, how can I restore the orginal pixel size after editing the photo?
    I've also cropped the photo, constraining the aspect ratio at 4:5.
    Here is the file info before I start working with it:
    And after using the retouch, this happens:

    Frank Caggiano wrote:
    Again this is not normal Aperture behavior, this doesn;t occur on my system. If you could post the screen shot of the adjustments it might help.
    Sure - Here is a sample image. It is not a RAW file. It appears to be happening in every image in the library. I made a new library and it appears to be happening in the same pattern. I'm in Aperture, opened a photo which was imported directly into Aperture from camera.
    Now, I'm going to crop to 4:5 ratio - from what I'm hearing, crop should not effect the 12.0 mp?
    Notice how the MP is now 10.6?
    Now, I'll apply auto enhance:
    In this case, it looks like cropping does effect the pixel size. It's a different image from what I was using before.
    Now, I use the retouch tool:
    The MPs are now 9.7 - it keeps getting smaller and smaller!
    When you crop, is it normal for the MPs to reduce?
    Thanks so much for your help, I'm so frustrated.

  • Change Volume size after partition

    I just formatted a drive and partitioned it. I haven't add any data on both of them and I changed my mind about the size of them.
    Is it ok to change their sizes in disk utility? or would be better to format them again and repartition?
    thanks in adavance

    You can repartition the drive. Since there's nothing on the drive repartitioning won't cause any loss of data.

  • Is there any way to modify the photo book size after I have created the book?

    I created a photo book then realized it was not the correct size. Is there a way to correct the size or do I have to start from scratch?
    I Found the answer after I posted this- CTRL D to duplicate, then choose new theme - Worked like a charm.

    Yes.  First click on the book in the Projects section and type Command +D (duplicate).  Open the book, click on Change Themes and in the next window select the size and type you want.
    The duplicate is to have in case you find any text that was removed in the resizing.  You can cut and past from the duplicate copy to the original.  Also verify that the resized book has all of its text, not text warning indicators and that all photos are there and in the correct order.
    Always create a PDF version of the book according to this Apple doucment, iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture, to check for any errors, i.e. typos, missing text, etc., before ordering the book.  Keep the pdf file to compare with the printed version when it arrives.
    Opps!  Answered your question from the title without reading the full body of your post. However, the last 2 paragraphs are worth reviewing.

  • Change book size and cover

    I have created a photo book with hardcover.  Now I would like to create and print the same book with softcover and smaller size.  Is this possible without re-creating the book?

    select the book in the source pane on the left and duplicate it (command-D) and then click on the themes button and select the new size/style/theme  --  closely inspect the book to be sure it is still corrcect (text may reflow due to size changes as may photo arrangement) - preview (
    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 if it is what you want
