Create / order photo books

Just received my photo book from Mpix. Looks fantastic. Sure would be a
lot easier if I could create and order these photo books from within LR
(similar to creating a web gallery) without having to export and use another
application. I look forward to the eminent release of the LR SDK so that LR
can be extended with this and many other useful enhancements.
Best,
Christopher

> Am I missing something here?
Yes, I think so. You claim every print company has it's own requirements.
I do not disagree. That's why the SDK is needed, so that each print company
may supply their own LR plugin. To create my Mpix photo book, I downloaded
the Mpix photo book application and used that. After the LR SDK is
released, rather than use company-specific applications, companies will have
the opportunity to develop company-specific plugins, thus allowing us to
work within LR.
Think about the vast number plugins for AE and Photoshop. Many of them are
fanctastic, and seemlessly extend the AE / Photoshop architectures. That is
why I eagerly await the release of the LR SDK. It will allow third-party
developers to extend the LR architecture, and each of us can pick and choose
which extensions / plugins we want to use.
Best,
Christopher

I've created a photo book in iPhoto on my iPad. When I go to order it, it says that "Your Book contains Empty Photo Frames" but when I check each page, they all have photos. How to I order the book?

I've created a photo book in iphoto on my ipad. When I try to order it (by clicking the price of the book in the top right corner) it says that Your book contains empty photo frames - add photos to the empty frames, or change the page layout to include fewer photos" but when I look at each page, there are photos in all the frames. What do I need to do to order this book??????
Thanks so much for any help offered!

It doesn't appear under the iPad device on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes, you need to select the iPad device on the sidebar and then select the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes e.g.
And then on the right-hand side :

Creating and ordering photo book

I would like to use my ipad photos to create a photo book for my mother for Christmas. I need to have an app that walks me through this. Last year I used my PC and Walgreens but this year I have no pc and Walgreens does not support nonflash. What do I do? Can anyone help? I looked at the iPhoto app but it talks about using a Mac and not Ipad. My mother is 83 and needs to hold the book in her hands. Thanks bunches! Sallie

Hi Dear Salt,
You have lots of free apps for that.
However you will have to put time and
effort if you really want a cool result.....
Here there is a small example of a video
explaining how to create your desired album !!

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

.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.

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 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).

Creating a Photo Book...Problems after that...

I've created a photo book. I forgot deleting "Beschreibung ihres Buchs einsetzen" can i see this message in the book when it's finished?

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!

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

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.

HT1040 I must not have chosen a hard back book when I started my project of creating a photo book. When I go to buy the book it only allows a small soft cover book. How would one go about changing it to a hard back book?

What version of iPhoto?
THe basic answer to duplicate the book as things may change when you change size, select themes again and pic the cover and size you want -

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.

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
