Changing size of books (from Large to Medium) ?

Hi all,
I've made my first Book in Aperture.
Theme: Modern lines; Size: 44 pages, Large Softcover (11"x 8 1/2")
I want to buy a large version of this book for myself and some medium version of the same book for my friends, but I don't understand how (and if is it possibile?) to resize a book from Large to Medium.
I have tried the duplicate book function and I have selected Modern Lines - Medium from the themes menu, but all of my layout modify and text was gone..
So.. there is a simple way to convert a large book into a medium one, or I have to manually redesign all the 44 pages of the book?
I hope that's possible to resize books of the same theme..
I've tried to read all the "book" section of the Aperture PDF manual, but I hope I've missed something..
Thanks in advance.

"Warning: It’s possible to lose text when you change themes. If you change book
themes, make sure to first copy the text you’ve entered into another document so
that you have a backup copy."
not with this version of aperture. the text will default to the original template. the photographs will stay in the pages though

I can't change the font from large to medium

I changed the font from medium to large. When I tried to go back to medium it stays on large. What can i do. I've turned it off and on. I've held the start/home button 30 sec....nothing works. What can I do?

Where did you change the font size? In the Mail settings? Is that what you mean?

Changing size of book

I made a medium sized book, but now want it to be larger. Is there a way to do this without having to start over and remake it??

{quote:title=LarryHN wrote:} In iPhoto '08 you can just change the size - I believe you can in 6 too {quote}
If you can do it in 6, I can't see how.
I printed it out on paper, duplicated the album, removed all the photos, created a new album, dragged in the photos, rebuilt the album and then reset the text (the printout was faster than switching back and forth between albums.)
All in all, only about 30 minutes of work,
but it could have been a right click change,
really.

How do I change size of book in IBOOKS AUTHOR?

i need to change the size and style of my book in ibooks author, such as a coupon format, is that possible? If so How?

Hello Felina,
As far as I am aware there is no way to change the document sizes.
There are just the two document sizes available, they are landscape and portrait.
I look forward to seeing if there is a way of changing an iBooks document size.
Have you looked at creating a standard e-Pub book instead this format may allow you to create the document shape and size you are thinking about.
Regards,
Nigel

Navigation Buttons Change Size

My admittedly-crude website is taking shape but when I roll over the navigation buttons (which don't have actual links yet) the font type seems to change to bold and the button itself changes size to accomodate the larger font.
www.ourhealthcare.info
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Line 219, has a syntax error.
Change
<li><a href="federalagency.html">Creating a Federal Healthcare Insurance Agency</a><li>
to
<li><a href="federalagency.html">Creating a Federal Healthcare Insurance Agency</a></li>
The closing <li> has been changed to </li>.
That should clear up the validation errors.

Desktop icons change size when I move the cursor

Intermittently, when I move the cursor with my trackpad, the desktop icons change size—minimize going from 44 to 16 icon size. This happens with the Finder in the foreground or background.
I think there's a fix, but I cannot find it.
All help appreciated,
Bill

Press Command-Option-8. Someone apparently turned on Zoom. (See System Preferences > Universal Access and click the Options button next to Zoom for more information.)

How to change the page color from white to gray in Indesign?

While working on a document, the white pages (not pasteboard) appears too much bright to eyes. Is there any way to change the pages color from white to medium gray at display level only i.e. that gray should not appear while printing the document pages?
Thanks,

You haven't told us what version of InDesign or what operating system.
If you have InDesign CC, you can change the color of the panels (Preferences > Interface). If you turn on Match Pasteboard Color in the same preference, you can make the pasteboard darker.
However, to change the color of the page, you need to change your monitor brightness. On a Mac, that would be System Preferences > Displays and drag the brightness slider to the left.

Can you change the size of a book from ITunes

I have noticed booksthat I download from iTunes are very large 190 to 250mb. I usually purchase and download from Audible.com their book sizes are much smaller 15 to 25mb. My question is, is there anyway to control the size of a book from iTunes?
I am using Mac book Pro
Lion OS
iTunes 10.5
iPhone 4 ios5.0

Hi
As far as I know - NO not possibly in iMovie
You need either to
• Export out as QuickTime movie - and in QuickTime Pro change size then re-import - or -
• Do the job in FinalCut - where this is easy and straight forward ( BUT FINALCUT in it self can be tough to LEARN - rather steet learning curve - but when into it Very rewarding )

Photo book print quality: large vs. medium (both softcover)

hello all,
I just wanted to share my experience about the difference in print quality between the medium softcover and large (in my case, softcover) books from iPhoto, something I wondered about before I took the plunge and ordered them.
I recently received copies of both, ordered a week apart, both using the 300 dpi hack, but unfortunately of diff't photos in each, so the comparison won't be too scientific.
First impressions: the photos in the large softcover seemed to me better than the medium. You can detect some very fine dots with the naked eye, in the places where a color shades into white. Overall, not objectionable at all, especially at a reasonable viewing distance. Akin to a decent/average inkjet photo. Meanwhile, the medium format struck me as having a worse print resolution, like a photo in a newspaper or cheaply printed magazine. The halftone pattern seemed more noticeable.
However, on closer inspection, side by side, I can see the halftone dots in each, and I wonder if they're actually printed at the same resolution. I think it was partly the bigger size of the average photo in the large book that convinced me it had a better resolution, and the smaller photos in a medium book can make the whole thing look bad. Also, I can definitely detect banding from the halftone pattern in the medium book that I don't notice in the large; but could this be due to the subject matter in the medium (blurred washes of muted color) more than a print resolution difference? Perhaps.
My conclusion: while it could be that the print resolution on the large is slightly better, I suspect my perception of the quality difference is based more on photo size and subject matter (sharp focus w/patterns, texture, moderate detail rather than empty color looks best). Still, despite my suspicion that the print resolution is the same, I can't shake the sense the large looks a little better.
Which is too bad in a way, as I think the medium has a lot going for it: it's cheaper than the large, and I actually much prefer to have a series of single, full-bleed images at 6x8 than two or three or more cluttered together on a bigger page for the same price. Plus I find the peek-a-boo cutout on the cover of the large book a bit cheesy.
So if you're going to go medium, I would definitely stay away from those six-photos-a-page layouts, especially if you have people in your small photos: their features will be degraded enough they start to look a little funny/unrecognizable. Bigger is better.
And if anyone has the same photo at the same size in two differently sized books to compare, that would settle things.
Also, I had a number of grayscale scans that I converted to rgb before adding to iPhoto, and the b&w photos printed in the book look great. While I would describe them as 'cool', I don't detect a noticeable color cast, and the blacks are decent.
Overall, as an amateur whose expectations were aimed a bit low, I'm pleased with both for the price, and will look to large for special occasions, medium for everyday photosets.

You're confusing two similar though technically different things.
You have the dpi (dot's per inch in the raster file) resolution of the images (assuming the image will not be reduced or enlarged) of 300 dpi - that is a static resolution and it one of two resolution settings that affect the quality of a printed image.
I was told the books are printed cmyk with screening so the other resolution that you have no control over is the "LPI" or "Lines per Inch" of the printing process. The CMYK separations are each printed at a different angle to achieve the full color effect.
The soft cover books appear to be printed at a lesser lpi than the hard cover books which would give the images a courser look to them.
I have not compared the books under a loop so this is going on what I was told.

Bug in 9.1.1 release : In mail from iphoto changing size not shown in MB

Could someone figure out how to report back to apple that we LIKE the 9.1.1 release that fixes it so you can select the size of your photo (smalll, medium, large, actual and optimized now)
BUT the problem is that when you have preference MAIL FROM I PHOTO - the little "size of this email" indicator that shows under the mail template does not change when you change the size of the photo between the choices above. It always just shows one size (the big one) so they need to fix that next time.
Thanks. I don't know how to report this to them. Signed - really happy so far with iphoto 11

It's working for me. No matter what template I choose I get the size menu with 4 sizes to choose from, small, medium, large and full size. Whatever size I select ends up as the size showing in the menu.
So there's apparently something amiss with your library or iPhoto. Backup the library and delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto a try again..
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

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.

I am creating an aperture book from my photos. How do I change the default map provided in the theme to one of my choice e.g. satellite view?

Kyle,
Thanks for your response. To be clear, the way I am importing the PDF is by going to New in LiveCycle, and selecting Import a PDF document, and selecting Create and Interactive Form with Fixed Pages.
I cannot change the forms or pages, as they are created by our local Board. In otherwords, I have tryed used the flowable content, and upon import, not only are the fonts slightly different, but all the important artwork (trade-related) is gone, and is not in the exact positions it was in. The forms must meet the standards to which they were approved by the regional board, and there are state-mandated forms as well.
What surprises me is that you say this method of Fixed Content isn't used much any more. I would think that a lot of people would have PDF files they would wish to make into fillable, interactive forms without needing to reconstruct the entire document. Perhaps a company that has always done things on paper, and now wishes to use those exact same forms on the computer, with no deviations to looks so they can be printed and match up perfectly.
I thought about using Acrobat's internal form creation system. However, some of these forms have sophisticated options and the calculation scripts and systems within LiveCycle are very useful. Not to mention that it has a much larger scalability, should we chose to utilize it.
Any other suggestions? I am so confused why Adobe would force medium-quality import of a PDF, but be so incredibly flexible about every other option in their program.

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.
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.
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.

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.

Why do colours change in PDF created from InDesign book?

Please help.
I've created a Book from 5 InDesign documents that have images text and some Illustrator drawings in.
When I export the Book to PDF some of the colours in the Illustrator graphics are different (the graphics are all vector based maps with some text). Not all colours are changing, seems to be different blues showing as one green in the PDF.
Same thing happens when I print the Book from InDesign.
Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Help! I too am having problems when creating a pdf in InDesign. My colors are all Pantone process colors. My specific problem is that when I export my book cover to a PDF, my process black is changing to gray. This ONLY happens with pdfs. When I save as a jpg things are fine. It will print fine. I have been scaling it down, but i prints black. Help! This is a project due for a typography class on Monday and must be printed and mounted for class.
