Cropping in iPhoto photo services book

Hi,
I am a newbie trying to create a book with iPhoto and a couple of my images are getting cropped when I place them on a page. I have tried using iPhoto, photoshop to crop to a size, as well as leaving it as is, and every way I try when I place it the sides are cropped and I don't want this to happen. How can I stop this or edit it to a size that will fit?
Thanks

Nope - the higher the dpi of the photo (the pixel dimensions divided by the final print size in inches) will give you a clue
Apple says that the print quality warning comes on at prints below 180 dpi -- http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1035 -- the more below that your photo is the lower quality - for most people resolutions down to around 110 dpi are acceptable but that is totally personal - the lower the dpi the low were the quality and the more likely you are to seeing the pixels in the print

  • What do I have to do to order a photo book from Portugal? There is no photo service in Portugal!!!

    I'm living in Portugal and I have created a photo book with iPhoto 11 with all the instructions in Portuguese. When I was about to order it, I couln't finish my order because there no photo service in Portugal. I'm very disappointed !! There is any possibility to order it from Spain? What do I have to do?

    I have requested a moderator move your thread from the MacBook Pro forum.   There is a separate iPhoto forum.  This is a user to user forum, thus no one can really guess Apple's policy here.   It may depend entirely on the internet provider's location that you are connected to, or it may depend on the iTunes Store settings or Mac App Store settings.  There is this support page for ordering albums.  One for the Spanish store, and one for the Portuguese store below:

  • I am trying to crop a portrait photo into 6x4 portrait ready for printing.  Iphoto only crops it landscape and therefore cuts out most of the photo.  Is there any way of resolving this?

    I am trying to crop a portrait photo into 6x4 portrait ready for printing.  I am using Iphoto on a Macbook Pro.  Everytime I try and crop the photo, it crops in Landscape which cuts out most of the photo.  Is there any way of resolving this?  I am new to Macs as I am currently switching from MS.  It is very easy to do this in MS photo editor so I can't believe it can't be easily done in Iphoto!

    These are the two steps that Larry describes:

  • Since I believe you can't create a Photo album (book) in Apperature, what is the best way to transfer my pictures from my Apperature Library to iPhoto without loosing any picture quality?

    Why do you think that? You can create printed Books in Aperture with similar themes as in iPhoto, and with more options to create custom themes on your own.
    See this page - http://www.apple.com/aperture/what-is.html - scroll down to see the example books.
    But if you prefer the iPhoto themes and layout, you can open your Aperture library in iPhoto, if you have both the current version of iPhoto and Aperture. Simply use the command "File > Open Library in iPhoto" and you can create your book in iPhoto.
    And switch back to Aperture by using the command "File > Open Library in  Aperture".

  • Anyone has print out the iPhoto album book by apple after finish editing? May I check is the quality good? I have compiled my photo album book , choosen hard cover option , 100 pages , estimated cost is US150. Not sure worth to print out or not?

    Anyone has print out the iPhoto album book by apple after finish editing? May I check is the quality good? I have compiled my photo album book , choosen hard cover option , 100 pages , estimated cost is US150. Not sure worth to print out or not?

    All I can say is the books I've created as gifts to my children for their children were received with absolute joy and appreciation (each book chronicled in pictures  the first year of each grandchild's life). Granted the sentimental factor had a lot to do with the recipient's enjoyment of the book but they were spetacular. The book with its glossy dust cover is a very impressinve way to present your photos. 
    As Larry has pointed out so many have posted here that they were very satisfried with their book and Apple is very good about correcting problems. 
    To make sure there are no errors in the book before you order preview the book as described in this Apple document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it. If the PDF file shows no errors, either in text typos (my biggest problem) or in missing photos, etc., the printed book will be error free.

  • Allow others to order iPhoto calendar via Apple Photos Services (or other)

    I thought I saw this option somewhere, but I have an iPhoto calendar that I've printed through Apple Photo Services for myself. I now want to make that cal available for others to print without having to be involved in placing the order for them. Is that possible? Ideally, they would not even need a .mac account, but could order as a guest. If Apple does not offer this service, does anyone know of a short-run printer that will take the PDF and make a cal of it? Fed Ex/Kinko's does not have a lot of info on their site for that kind of thing. I will call them shortly.
    Thanks.

    Thanks Terence. I assume the file is stored on the Apple server for 4 weeks (in which time it is removed), so I'm unclear why they can't assign it a unique number and allow me to send that number to my mom who can use it to order the cal. That does not seem impossible to me and could help Apple make more money on prints.

  • Uploading custom pages to iPhoto photo books

    I am trying to upload a custom page with photos and text to my iPhoto photo book. I am a digital scrapbooker.  But I need to know the exact size with bleed to make sure that the text and photos appear the way I have designed. Is it possible to find out the size of the photo books with bleeds?
    I am using version 9.5.1 of iPhoto.

    I've not seen that in iPhoto '08 - iPhoto '09 does have a thumbnail bug like that that has not been fixed yet
    Try clicking on the blank thumbnail and seeing what it shows in the main window
    And remember the sure way to know what is going to print is to preview it according to this article - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference

  • Crop and Resize photo within the COD service in ESS

    Anyway to crop and resize photo within the COD webdynpro java component in ESS?

    No what i mean is how to allow the user to upload a photo using the COD service but also allow them to crop and resize the image as documented here:
    [How to Add Image Crop and Resize Capabilities in Web-Based Applications|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/10ab79a4-1fc2-2b10-29bb-ef9ff6771e72]
    The solution above does not use the webdynpro COD service in ESS, it is a portal component with embedded JavaScript which also only stores the photo on portal only (not the infotype in ECC).  I guess I need to figure out how to add these javascript files to the webdynpro COD service in ESS.  Although I don't think Webdynpro Java allows you to add javascript.

  • IPhoto: Photo Book Issue

    I am working on yearbooks for a large team. I want to order a book and keep an exact copy in iPhoto in case I need to reorder. Problem- I want to make a copy of the book to keep some elements and edit others for a different book. How do I copy?

    You might also want to save the library containing the finished book as a separte libkrary minus the photos that are not in the library.  That will isoloate the book as it can be burned to disk via the Finder for safe keeping. 
    This tutorial gives tips on how to do that: iP12 - Archiving an iPhoto 9 (11) Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date

  • Prints of iPhoto Photo Book in India

    Any guidance please on how to find a photography shop that would be print iPhoto Photo Book in Madras (Chennai) India? (since there is no Apple Store in India)

    No.  There is no Print Products Store in India.  You can only ship to the same country as the billing address for the credit card used.

  • Non standard format images from the iPhoto print service

    Can anyone tell me how to get the iPhoto print service to leave my images alone? They default to filling their 10 x 8 or 7 x 5 paper sizes. Nowhere on the order form do they tell you they're going to do this and I can't find anywhere to tell them not to.
    They also supplied the prints in neat card wallets with "Do not bend" in nice red boxes printed on them. These were then dispatched in a plain white envelope with no such notices on it. Not surprisingly the prints arrived bent!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. When you click on the Buy button the available print sizes that Apple provides are displayed and you have to fill in how many of each you want. There is no custom size available, at least here in the states. What size(s) did you select in the order window?
    Click to view full size
    Didn't you get a similar window over there?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) 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 or later), 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • Arrgggh!!!  iphoto print services...prints look awful

    Here is my workflow.
    canon RAW -> lightroom -> export (sRGB) -> import into iPhoto (embed colorsync profile)
    lightroom 1.4.1, iphoto 7.1.5
    If I print to my HP2600 from lightroom or iPhoto using colorsync the prints look great. But when I order from Apple Photo Services through iphoto, the prints are dark and washed out. I would like to order some calendars and books but not with the horrible quality of prints.
    How can I troubleshoot this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Ditto here on wrong colors in items ordered from APPLE.
    I just received a book I ordered and the color of all images aren't what I submitted. They're all darker and, in some cases, pinkish.
    I checked them using APPLE preview proofing process, and the preview proof looked great... exactly what I had intended.
    The images were old photos scanned in, and I did color corrections as well as cropping. Yet, I've done this in previous books and have had fabulous results.
    Am interested to hear if anyone has any solutions because maybe I'm doing something with color corrections I shouldn't be doing?

  • Vertical Photos in Book

    I am attempting to create a book with a lot of vertical photos. The layout pages are almost all for horizontal photos and the vertical photos are not properly proportioned. Are there pages I'm missing with more layouts for vertical photos or is there a way of making my own layout pages, other than blank.

    Liz Castro has produced samples of all of the layouts for all of the themes for iPhoto books making it easy to scan the possibilities -- http://www.lizcastro.com/iphotobookthemes/
    Note that in some layouts when you place a portrait photo in a landscape frame the frame switches orientation and in some it just crops the photo - http://www.lizcastro.com/iphotobookthemes/pmwiki.php?n=Main.OriginalOrientation
    If you photos are not standard point and shoot photos in a 4:3 ratio they will be cropped since all of the book frames are 4:3 - you can right click on a photo and choose fit to frame to avoid cropping
    there is not currently any way to customize pages in iPhoto -- you can generate pages in MS Word, pages, pagermaker, InDesign, etc and do a print to PDF using the send PDF to iPhoto option to create a custom page - see Old Toad's tutorial #19 for details - http://toadstutorials.info/

  • Photo Services Problems

    I'm wondering if anyone has the photo services phone number.
    I'm having trouble with a book I ordered for Christmas. I ordered it the 1st, and it was sent to the wrong address. I called apple support and was told to e-mail the photo services people. So I went through that rig-a-ma-role, and they supposedly sent out another book, which was delivered to a wrong address again (and this time its a mystery address and they won't tell me where it is...) The book is being re-printed and sent out AGAIN, but the lady I've been e-mailing back and forth won't tell me where it is being sent the third time.
    I'm befuddled and really disappointed in the service I've gotten from Apple. I wouldn't recommend the photo services to anyone since the support is so atrocious, and I think the next time I want a photo product I'll use shutterfly or one of the more reliable alternatives.
    But does anyone have a phone number I can contact? Seriously, what do these people use to order lunch with? There MUST be some sort of support phone number for photo services

    To my horror they only sent me 4 of the ten ordered and have no clue when the rest of my order will arrive, obviously they won't be xmas gifts.
    My calenders have arrived in boxes of three - so you may very well have two more boses of three eadh arriving - what does the order history page - http://www.apple.com/support/photoservices/orderstatus/ - show you?
    They need a PHONE support line, email doesn't cut it with a 24-hour response when there's an urgent issue. I called mac support and then talked to iphoto people who were at least able to get info over to the department faster than the support email.
    Then I suggest you tell Apple your opinion - iPhoto Menu ==> Provide iPhoto feedback - telling the other users here will not accomplish anything
