Creating a 10" square collage on iPhoto

First of all, I'm very new on a mac. I'm trying to create a 10" square collage, save it as a jpeg, then upload it to VioVio for printing for a photo book (they have 10" books). According to other forums, this can be done, but how?
Thanks

Do you have Pages? If so create a custom page 10" square and drag your photos onto the page and arrange as desired. Then do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto. This will create a 200 dpi, 10" x 10" jpeg image file and import it into iPhoto. Then you can export it out of iPhoto for uploading.
If you want a 300 dpi version create it with Automator and add to the HD/LIbrary/PDF Services folder.

How to create a full-page collage?

Am trying to find an easy way to create a full-page collage of pictures (to then save as a single photo, JPEG or PDF). Is there an easy way to do this within iPhoto '08 or a standard Mac application? (In the Cards/Calendars/Prints option of even ordering from Apple, there's no option or setting listed that I can see to create one. Are there other templates to download somewhere that I could use within iLife, or some standard application?)

rekkus:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. OmniGraffle is a great application for creating collages. This one was 98 photos. You can use it in it's demo mode which allows 10 or less images or objects per file or project. I think if you group objects they will count as 1. Then export as a jpg or other file format.
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 created 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Making a Collage using iPhoto

Is there a way of making a collage of photos with iPhoto using photos in my iPhoto library? The Card or Book approaches are awkward, lack flexibility for what I would like to achieve and don't yield a nice printable result.
Jim

Not with iPhoto. It will take a 3rd party application to do what you want. Some are Pages (iWork); PhotoTiles; OmniGraffleand Posterino. Mosaics make from many other pictures can be done with MacOSaiX and MozoDomo.
Omnigraffle(up to 10 photos in the demo mode) and Pages are very easy to use. I created this 96 photo collage (20x30) with Omnigraffle.

Collage from iphoto

i want to make a collage and print if out myself from iphoto. is there a free download that is good for this? can i make a collage from iphoto '08 without extra software?
debcoo

Do you have the iWork suite of application? If so you can use Pages to create your collage very easily. It would be just a drag, drop, resize and position proposition for each photo used. The demo version of OmniGraffle will let you create a 10 photo collage. If you group photos that will count as 1 object and you can add more photo to a page. I have a version that came with my older G4 mac and create this 96 photo 20 x 30 inch collage with it:

How do I create multiple FB accounts for uploading iPhoto pix?

I create content for several small business Facebook accounts.
I was hoping to create multiple FB accounts within the iPhoto sharing accounts preferences, but iPhoto doesn't seem to accept my FB alter egos.
I'd like to be able to have an account that goes right to my personal page pkus a separate sharing account for each FB page for which I'm an administrator. Doesn't seem like too much to ask, but I've been trying to figure this out for a few weeks now. Alas, FB has no real help to speak of so I throw myself on the mercy of the iPhoto community.
Any suggestions? It would make uploading to FB much speedier--so I'd do it whenever I import pix from my camera into iPhoto instead of being a FB slacker.
Thanks,
Nancy

Ahh, no wonder.
I had assumed from the account preference choices that I ought be able to create multiple sharing accounts in FB, because of the + sign. And, in fact, for a while time I did have two sharing accounts for two different personal FB accounts. At that time it did work to upload photos directly from iPhoto to the two different personal accounts. But I was never able to upload directly from iPhoto to the intended business account. And since upgrading I can't seem to create a second personal FB account in iPhoto.
Thanks, Larry, for the assistance. I'll follow your suggestion to recommend the feature to Apple.

Is there a way to create new events on the new iPhoto app?

Is there a way to create new events on the new iPhoto app? I seem to only be able to create albums. I would really like the app to allow me to do all the same things that I was able to do on my Mac. I would create events and then sync to all devices. Can someone please instruct me on how to create new events from the photos imported from the photo stream.
Thanks for all the help!

The iPhoto for iOS seems to be aimed at working on photos then sharing them to social media sites or to iCloud for sharing there. iPhoto for iOS does not perform many of the organizing tasks that iPhoto on your Mac does. Many people expected that there would be more capabilities in iPhoto for iOS that would allow it to work more closely with iPhoto on your computer but this is not the case. They are separate apps.

I want to create a back up of my iPhoto library on an external hard drive (not Time Machine). How do I do that?, I want to create a back up of my iPhoto library on an external hard drive (not Time Machine). How do I do that?

I want to create a back up of my iPhoto library on an external hard (not the time machine backup). I've searched the iPhoto help, but unfortunately it does not tell me 'how' to create this additional backup of my library. Thanks

Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

Issues with iphoto after hard drive failure - message "library was created with an unreleased version of iphoto"

I have a late model 2008 13" MacBook that was running OS X 10.5.8 when the hard drive failed 2 weeks ago when I was traveling in Canada. I found a Mac repair centre and they replaced my 250GB with a 500GB hard drive and transferred my data. (Yeah!!!) I'm now on OS X 10.6.8 (which is great as I guess I should be able to sync my iphone on IOS 7 with my laptop again.... but I digress...)
I haven't been able to access my photos as I get the message "The photo library was created with an unreleased version of iphoto. Please quit and upgrade this photo library by opening it in iphoto 2 or iphoto 4" when I try to open it. I can see my photos when I look on Photo Browser in Mail so that's good - they are here... I looked through past messages with this problem and saw that the advise was to download iphoto Library Manager. I want to be certain I don't mess anything up so the questions are:
1. What version of iphoto Library Manager should I download - I had OS X 10.5.8 and my iphoto library was ... (sorry - can't find out what it was, guess it's now 7.1.5)
2. What do I do after I've downloaded IPLM?
Many thanks ahead of time for any assistance

I backed up my iPhoto Library to an external drive even though it looked way to small to hold all my photos. I have tried several times to open iPhoto whilst depressing the option and command keys but get the same message again:
"The photo library was created with an unreleased version of iphoto. Please quit and upgrade this photo library by opening it in iphoto 2 or iphoto 4" Behind this, the little wheel is turning and it says "Loading Photos" (but it doesn't).
I've got to access these photos for a project deadline that's looming so any help would be really appreciated.

"the photo library was created with an unreleased version of iPhoto"

Help!
I think this all started with an onscreen message telling me I had a trojan. I downloaded a free copy of mac scan. This later asked me to subscribe. I could not get rid of the message except by switching off the computer, (I was tired and desperate), so I did.
I later tried to transfer photos from my camera to the the computer - it would not allow me - said it did not recognise the files.
Later tried to open iPhoto and it said "The photo library was created with an unreleased version of iPhoto. Please quit and upgrade this library by opening it in iPhoto 2 or iPhoto 4."
What have I done? How can I undo/rectify this???
Jane

If Larry's fixes don't wortk then Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

"Photo Library was created with an unreleased version of iPhoto."

Here is what happened:
I had OS 10.3.9 with iLife '04
Installed iLife '05
It all worked great for several months.
Installed Tiger and I get "Photo Library was created with an unreleased version of iPhoto." The error also says "Please quit and upgrade this library by opening it in iPhot 2 or iPhoto 4."
Is this normal? Does anyone have any bright ideas before I rip everything out and reinstall iLife? Thank you for your help!

Hi issam,
So far I have not seen any solution for that error message in these discussions. If you have a recent backup of your iPhoto Library folder then take the old library out of the Pictures folder and put your backup library in there (I suggest you backup the backup before you do this) Launch iPhoto and hopefully everything will be back to normal. If you don't have a backup then...
The only thing I can tell you to do right now is to create a new library and import/add to the library to reimport your images.
these are the steps:
Close iPhoto
Drag the iPhoto Library folder to the desktop
Launch iPhoto
In the next window that opens choose to create a new library.
When the new empty library opens go to File/add to library
In the next window navigate to the library on your desktop and choose it.
Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
You will have to redo your albums, keywords, etc.
Good luck!

Photoshop stops responding when creating a 11x8.5 collage

I've been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for a couple of months to create 11x8.5 photo collage's as part of my digital scrapbook. Yesterday, when I tried to create a new collage the program stopped responding and forced me to close it. It will only do this with an 11x8.5, it's not a problem for any other size, unfortunetly the rest of my pages are 11x8.5 so I really need to be able to use this size! What could possibly be causing this?

I have this same problem and the suggestion didn't help me. Does anyone know of a solution?
I've tried it in both the Organizer and Editor interfaces and tried selecting and de-selecting the box indicating "Autofill with Selected Images".
8.50 x 11.00 works fine, but 11.00 x 8.50 - crashes every time.
"Adobe Photoshop Elemets 11 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
Would love to find a solution.

ORDER A PRINT ONLINE OF A SQUARE PHOTO IN IPHOTO

How can I order a print of square photos in IPHOTO without them cropping it out as it happened, instead of scaling it down to fit the paper and leave a white border as I assumed they would do??
MACCBOOK Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Ricardo:
You can't. iPhoto doesn't offer a square format. All prints are borderless. If you want a square print you'll need to use one of the other online providers.
Do you Twango?

Iphoto library was created with an unrelased version of iphoto please quit and ugrade library by opening it in iphoto 2 or iphoto 4

my iphoto 8.1.2 operating system 10.6.8 can't open iphoto...error message says IPHOTO LIBRARY WAS CREATED WITH AN UNRELEASED VERSION OF IPHOTO. PLEASE QUIT AND UPGRADE IPHOTO LIBRARY BY OPENING IT IN IPHOTO 2 OR IPHOTO 4?

Restore from your back up is the simple solution.
Failing that:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

How to view Slideshows/Movies created in my Mac-Mini´s iPhoto, on iPad 3

Slideshows I have in iPhoto on my mac-mini, do not show up in the iPhoto on my iPad 3 (Just Photos, Events & Albums).
How do I get the slideshows (Saved with music in Mac-iPhoto), to show in my iPad´s iPhoto?
Do I need another app for this?
By the way, the same applies to the iMovie on my iPad (Do I need to import the movies/Slideshows
from iPhoto (Mac) into iMovie (Mac) to be able to see them on my iPad?
All I want to do is view Slideshows/Movies created in my Mac-Mini´s iPhoto,
on my New iPad (In iPhoto or iMovie if possible).
Thanks in advance for any help
AMI

Thanks for the tip Demo!
Sadly it is so.
Don't know why Apple didn't include slideshows into the iPhoto for iPads!
Solved the problem with Phtosync & Sugarsync Apps.
Another super apps for transfering Movies/Slideshows to your iPod, is VLCstreamer.
You can even watch movies that are on your Mac or extension drives via WiFi , streamed to the iPad
without even having to upload them to the pad (Which you can do also !).
