Correct Size for iPhoto large Books is ...

Am I to understand that if I create my full size pages in photoshop at 11.1 x 8.6 that when placing into iPhoto I will have taken into account Apple's Bleeds?

mike:
Possibly if you keep the image(s) that you want to within 0.1 inch of the edge, i.e. an 0.1 border around the image(s). Not having tried it myself I'm only conjecturing about this. I'd hate for you to put such a border around the layout and then get it on the finished page. Unless there's a very important part of the photo within 0.1 inch of the edge I wouldn't worry about it.
If you're referring to creating a colored background and then putting your photos and text on it, keeping them within that 0.1" border very well might insure that they are take to the edge of the page. If not, then the worse you have is a 0.1" border of background color around the page.
Info on books that I got from Apple is in the Everything you wanted to know about books... and then some. topic.
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.

  • Best way to prepare photos for iPhoto printed book

    Hello,
    I was wondering what would be the best way to prepare photos for iPhoto printed book on a Macbook Pro so to achieve the most realistic results to what's on the screen
    ie. which software should I use to change photos from RGB to CMYK, photoshop or iPhoto itself. I'm guessing maybe the autofix feature in iPhoto? (I don't have Aperture)
    Secondly, which monitor color setting should I set the screen at? I'm guessing it's either Apple RGB or Colour LCD, maybe even ColorMatch RGB?
    Any any other tips that people can give in achieving the most realistic results to what you have on the screen when your printed iPhoto book gets sent back. I don't want the mid tones to disappear or become too bright because the gamma and color settings were different to what they use at the other end.
    Many thanks.

    Hi,
    The situation has changed a little, our original photos are in RAW format and some of them are slightly over saturated in the higher tones.
    I've read on other threads that it is a good idea to run the 'Enhance' tool on all photos before sending the iPhoto Book away.
    Since iPhoto's 'Enhance' tools seems to do a lot of helpful things like sharpen, adjust the levels, etc it also seems to notch the contrast up and this would prove destructive for the lighter and darker tones not captured by the camera's dynamic range.
    So as I've been advised it's best to use Apple's own tools before sending the iPhoto Book away, so I'm going to download the trial of Aperture.
    Does anyone have any more recommendations on which monitor colour profile setting to use etc. I've also read that iPhoto prints best from JPEGS so the RAW will obviously need changed. Will Aperture automatically save to Profile name: Camera RGB Profile after I've done some editing there?
    What would be the best way to prepare RAW images in aperture where some of them might need an Image Overlay in Photomatix then imported back to Aperture for printing an Apple/iPhoto style Book?
    Many thanks

  • Jpeg size for iphoto books?

    Hi, have found that some of my jpegs are to small in size to print properly for books. Does anyone know what size is best for making books?

    The best size is as large as you can get. iPhoto will
    Default DPI Settings in iPhoto 7's Preference File
    BookTargetDPI - 300
    BookTargetMediumDPI-300
    BookTargetSmallDPI - 300
    BookWarningImageDPI - 180
    PrintImageDPI - 720
    PrintWarningImageDPI - 140
    So if the photo you put in a frame will be printer at less than 180 dpi you'll get the warning label. A photo might give you that warning at a full page frame but will be OK in a 2 photo/page frame. I've have photos print with that warning and they looked OK. What are the pixel dimensions of your smallest photo. The smallest I've used is 1600 x 1200 and created a whole book with that size. I did not have any full page photos however.

  • What is Maximum .jpg size for iPhoto?

    I am creating an iPhoto book. I want to use the highest resolution photos (maximum size .jpg files). I would like to know the maximum size .jpg image that iPhoto will load. Can someone please give me some guidance with this? Thank you. Dale

    Since iPhoto converts the book to pdf and uses 300 dpi the maximum size image you would need would be for a full, one photo per page. That would be 8.5 x 300 by 11 x 300 or 2550 pixels x 3300 pixels. Any larger will be lost in the conversion to the 300 dpi pdf.
    If you have larger images don't bother to resize down to those dimensions. Just make sure they have a size ratio of 4:3. Most digital cameras create images in that ratio. Scanned images usually will be in a different ratio and would need to be cropped to 4:3 before adding to the book.

  • Correct size for swf/FLV video files in Presenter 7?

    HI,
    I'm trying to use Presenter with some screen capture and
    other video an I cant seem to get the video to show up at the
    correct size. If the video is scaled for screen capture it looks
    really bad. I can build new resources or export to any type or
    video/swf or FLV but I don't seem to be able to control how to get
    this to work once in comes into presenter. Real video is OK as that
    scales well.

    Personally, I record in Camtasia at 800x600, then have it
    resize to 640x480. When I import that file into PowerPoint, it has
    a huge white border around it, and I have to resize the video until
    there's no white border left.
    It's still quite large on the screen, and the fact that
    PowerPoint / Presenter seem to resample/rescale the video seems to
    lower the quality some, which is why I often use heavy zoom effects
    within Camtasia.
    I've tried using Captivate for creating the videos, but
    honestly, it's faster and provides a better end result if I'm using
    Camtasia. What software are you using?

  • Is this the correct area for IPhoto 7.1.5?

    Trying to fix a friends computer (a thankless task). It's a dualgig G4 with OS 10.4.11
    Finally got just about everything working but IPhoto won't launch. Did a complete update from OS10.4 and all appropriate apps including from IPhoto 7.0.1
    first, is this the correct area? In the heading for Iphoto discussions, it jumps form iphoto 6 to iphoto 08.
    Since before I did the software updates, IPhoto would not launch either from the doc or the program icon in the application folder. Any ideas what to do?

    Yes. This is the correct forum. iPhoto 7.1.5 is iPhoto 08. This is the numbering relationship between iPhoto and iLife:
    ▪ iPhoto 1: released January 2002
    ▪ iPhoto 2 (iLife): released January 2003
    ▪ iPhoto 4 (iLife '04): released January 2004
    ▪ iPhoto 5 (iLife '05): released January 2005
    ▪ iPhoto 6 (iLife '06): released January 2006
    ▪ iPhoto 7 (iLife '08): released August 2007
    ▪ iPhoto 8 (iLife '09): released January 2009
    ▪ iPhoto 9 (iLife '11): released October 2010
    What happens when you try to launch iPhoto?
    Try the following: delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
    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.

  • Correct Size for Full Page Bleed

    I'm using 8.5x11 custom Photoshop images for my entire hardcover book. What is the ideal size to use? Should I add some cropping area to each edge to get a correct bleed? (i.e 8.7 x 11.2, etc)
    Thanks!

    If you are using standard 3:4 ratio digital photos they bleed just find for me - I have a number in my book and they are all perfect
    Just make sure you have adequate resolution - 1530 x 1980 or larger

  • Is there a fix for iphoto 11 book crashes

    I made the HUGE mistake of upgrading to iLife 11 and now iPhoto refuses to allow me to use the book makeing feature.  The second I attempt to make a book from an exsisting album or edit books from a current project, it crashes.  I have done all the usual things.  Yes, ALL OF THEM.  Yes, that too.  Since I can't seem to uninstall the whole thing.
    I'm running Mac OS 10.6.8 and there is no /var/db/receipts folder where I can delete the package contents. If any one knows where to locate this, I would appreciate the heads up.
    Considering the sheer lack of customer accountability that Apple is famous for I'm not expecting to get anything out of this post from an actual Apple developer.  That would be lottery ticket kind of maddness, no.  I'm holy hoping some smart super-user will take pity on this advance/intermediate Mac-girl and help me either thwart my iPhoto issues or help me rid my system of this piece of S*&^t. 
    Thanks

    Apply the fix below: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.

  • File sizes for Apple photo book service

    If I use Apple print services to print a photo book, will they accept TIFF-16 bit photo files?

    If you create a photo book and use 16-bit tiffs, these will be converted in the pdf file, that is sent to Apple, so it should not matter.
    But you can try for yourself. Just create a dummy book, include some fo your 16-bit tiff, click "buy book" and on the next page select "Preview Book".
    Then inspect the preview pdf-that will be created - when I tried this with a book that contained several gigantic 16-bit tiffs (each 200 MB) the resulting book had only 40 MB. So the tiffs had been compressed considerably.

  • How do I determine the size of an event (cmd I does not show any size for events).

    How do I determine the size of an Event in iPhoto? (Cmd + I does not show size information at the event level).

    If you're running iPhoto 8 (09) select the event and look at the Info pane at the lower left hand corner of the window.  It will give you the number of photos and size:
    for iPhoto 9 (11) open the Event, select all of the photos in it and open the Info drawer at the right by typing Command+i.  The number of photos and size will be at the top of the Info drawer.

  • Extra-large photo book available for iPhoto 08?

    Can anyone tell me if I can create an extra large size photo book with iPhoto '08? I see online that extra-large (Size: 13x10 inches) is available, however in my iPhoto this option is not there (only large Size: 11x8.5 inches). Do I have to upgrade to iPhoto '09 in order to get that?
    Thank you.
    Irina

    If I'm understanding this correctly, is there a work around, i.e. perhaps just purchasing the iPhoto upgrade to 09?
    The only way to upgrade iPhoto is to purchase the iLife suite. There is no way to purchase an update to iPhoto alone.
    It is surely contraindicative to me to not allow iPhoto 08 users to order a book that costs $50 instead of one that costs $30 without first spending $80 to upgrade!
    Contraindicitative or not, adding the feature of the extra-large book means extra coding of the app, extra product testing and all the hoohaa that goes with releasing an update, and all of these are a cost. Extra features are an incentive to upgrade. Adding them to legancy versions lessens that incentive. I know of no software developer that adds features to an app after a newer version has come out.
    it does not make economic sense for me to spent $80 just to be able to purchase something larger in size.
    A calculation only you can make for yourself.

  • Hi all! What is the best way to create the correct space for baseball jersey names and numbers? along with making sure they are the right size for large printing.

    What is the best way to create the correct space for baseball jersey names and numbers? along with making sure they are the right size for large printing.

    Buying more hard drive space is a very valid option, here.  Editing takes up lots of room, you should never discount the idea of adding more when you need it.
    Another possibility is exporting to MXF OP1a using the AVC-I codec.  It's not lossless, but it is Master quality.  Plus the file size is a LOT smaller, so it may suit your needs.
