CUSTOM PHOTO BOOK THEME / TEMPLATE SETTINGS?

I want to create a photo book using any of the pre-defined Aperture photo book themes.
My question is that I want to create a book in Portrait Layout (8.5 x 11") but the only available themes seem to be designed in Landscape Layout (11 x 8.5"). Are there any workarounds or additional themes allowing me to format in Portrait Layout while retaining the page / photo box options available in the included themes? BTW ... I will be printing the pages myself and not necessarily ordering through Apple's service
Thanks

You pretty much have to create that kind of layout yourself. You can check out some of the new book vendors and their templates but from what I have seen so far they are also somewhat limited.

  • A method to create completely customized photo book page templates from scratch in Lightroom 5

    I was able to successfully create completely customized Lightroom 5 page templates (including altering the number of, positions, and sizes of pictures) by making edits to the templatePages.lua file(s) in the Lightroom directory tree.  I have never heard of the LUA file format before, but it is ASCII and looks somewhat like XML, so it was fairly easy to decipher.  Here is a high-level description of how I did it.  This applies to Lightroom 5 on Windows 7.  If this doesn't make any sense to you, then don't try it - you're likely in over your head.  Although my description is brief and lacking in detail, it should enable someone who is capable of handling this to figure it out with a little of careful trial and error.  Do this at your own risk - if you screw-up your installation, catalog, or computer, it's your own fault.  It all worked great for me.
    First, open the "<lightroom 5 install directory>\Templates\Layout Templates" folder.  Then navigate to the template set that contains the template you would like to use as a starting point for the new template.  For example, "12x12-blurb\clean12x12".  Make a back-up copy of the templatePages.lua file in case you mess something up and want to revert.
    There will be a bunch of .jpg files in this directory that each contain a preview image of the layout that carries the same name as the .jpg file.  Find the one that you would like to use as a starting point.  Take note of the name of the file, which is probably something similar to "page_26_preview.jpg".   Duplicate the file and rename it to something unique, such as "dummy_preview.jpg".  It's just temporary, so it doesn't matter what name you pick, provided it is a legal file name with no spaces.
    Next, open the templatePages.lua file in a text editor.  I suggest using one that can automatically recognize and format ULA (such as Notepad++, which is open source and free to use).  Then search the file for the unique portion of the file name you took note of earlier, such as "page_26".  It will point you to a section in the LUA file that describes that particular template.  Carefully copy that entire section, including a balanced number of brackets (starting with the two brackets and commas before "children" and ending with the one bracket and comma after the "title" line.  Paste the copied text into the end of the file on a new line immediately following the bracket and comma after the "title" field for the last page template section (right near the end of the file).  Change the "previewName" field to the name of the preview file copy that you created ("dummy_preview.jpg" for me) and the "name" field to the name of the new template you're creating ("dummy" for me, since it is just temporary).  Next change at least one of the hex characters in the "pageID" field such that the new template will have a unique page identifier.
    Now you can make edits to the photo and text fields included in the new section, using other templates in the template file as examples.  "x" and "y" fields are coordinates (in pixels) for the bottom-left corner of the picture or text field, "height" and "width" are the width of the field in pixels.  The fields should be mostly self-explanatory, but make sure that the "photoindex" fields are filled-in starting from 1 to N, where N is the number of pictures in the template, with no duplicates or gaps.  They do not need to be in order.  Treat the "textIndex" fields similarly for text fields.  If you want to add an additional picture or text field, simply copy the section describing a picture or text field from another template and paste it, carefully, into the new template that you are creating.
    Once you are done, save the file (you may get interference from Windows UAC, in which case save the file elsewhere and the move it back to the correct directory).  Then open Lightroom.  Create a new photobook, and choose the new template for one of the pages, remembering that the preview image will look like the JPG that you copied.  Voila!  If you didn't screw anything up, you should see a page based on your new template.  Then right-click the page and select "Save as custom page", which will cause a fresh preview file to be created for your new template and your template to be copied to the "custom pages" section of the template menu.  The new section you added to the "templatePages.lua" and the "dummy" preview file can now be deleted, since they are no longer needed.  I save them so that I may simply overwrite them the next time I need to create a customized template.
    Enjoy, and please share any clarifications, corrections, or enhancements to my process.

    This post was great!  Thank you so much.  But I am hoping you know one more thing related to this.  In the "transform" section of the definition (where the x/y coordinates are set along with height and width) there is an option called "angle".  I was hoping that changing this value would allow me to offset the angle of the picture.  However, if I put any value there other than 0 the template becomes unusable.
    Do you happen to know what this option does?
    I haven't looked into the files, so this is just a guess based on how some graphic applications work. It's common to think of rotating a shape as pivoting around a center point, but It's possible that the file sets a value for the rotation point not at the center. In some graphics applications, you can set a shape's pivot at any corner or in the middle of any side, of the rectangle that contains the whole shape.
    So, your value may be rotating the shape around a pivot that moves the shape into some area that upsets the behavior of other shapes. Just a thought.

    Peter's point is a good one.  I would also assume that the "angle" property allows you to rotate an image, but I haven't tried it myself.  One thing to investigate - are there any page templates included in LR that have image placeholders that are at an angle (I don't recall any, off-hand)?  If so, looking at the associated .lua file could provide insight into how an angled image placeholder should be described.

    No - you can create custom pages in other software and use them

  • How do I get custom book themes to appear in Aperture?

    I want to create two custom book themes in Aperture - A4 Landscape and A4 Portrait - so that I can print them on A4 photo paper. However, after creating the custom themes, they do not appear in the custom theme list which is preventing me from creating an A4 sized book. I closed and restarted Aperture and I have also closed and restarted my MacBook.
    My Aperture version is 3.5.1 and I am running Mac OS X 10.9.1.
    Folders for the two custom themes I have created do appear in Users/MacPro/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Book Themes.

    Schof,
    I will try your suggestion of creating a new Aperture library and let you know what happens.
    If a new library does not fix it,  there is probably a permissions problem with your user library, or a problem with the "Books Theme" folder.
    I'd try to trash the "Books Theme" folder:
    Quit Aperture.
    Delete your "Users/MacPro/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Book Themes".
    Log off and on again.
    Create a new Custom Book.
    Can you now see it in the "Themes" drop-down menu?
    If that does not help, trash the preferences as well:
    Users/MacPro/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist
    and log off and on again, or restart the system.

  • I created a book in iBooks Author using the Photo Book template. When I rotate to portrait orientation, the photo or widget disappears and a table of contents appears with only the interactive media showing.

    I created a book in iBooks Author using the Photo Book template. When I rotate to portrait orientation, the photo or widget disappears and a table of contents appears with only the interactive media showing.

    Thanx for the prompt response, KT. I have indeed seen that thread, only just after I posted the question.
    I have spent hours on the phone with what I now know is a call center in Texas on this question.
    I think Apple could be a little more "hands on" with iBooks Author users, and it should also be pointed out that landscape photos will not display in portrait mode.
    In my case, I used gallery widgets to display vertical photos, since they look better in portrait mode.
    But instead of simply rotating, the page disappears and a TOC of interactive media appears. The gallery behaves as expected when tapped. This is not what I expected, but since the gallery works, I can live with it.
    Right now I have "tickets" telling me to "fix" this "problem or to disable portrait mode.
    I don't want to disable portrait mode.
    Will Apple accept the books if I tell them this is not an "error?"

  • 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).

  • Templates for photo books?

    Hi,
    we want to do a photo book without using iphoto.
    - can we export hires pdf's from pages 08?
    - are there any templates available to do books for pages08?
    Thanks for your help
    R

    Yes you can export hires pdfs from Pages 08. Select:
    +Menu > File > Export > PDF > Best+
    Make sure you have enough resolution (300dpi) in the original image, at the size you are printing.
    For templates look on the following sites:
    http://www.iworkcommunity.com/
    http://www.jumsoft.com/pages/
    http://www.stocklayouts.com/Products/Apple/Apple-iWork-Pages-Template-Design.asp x
    http://www.keynotepro.com/index.html
    http://oegf.co.uk/
    http://www.digmo.co.uk/software/apple-pages-templates/
    There are others search for them.
    A suggestion would be, if you like Apple's iPhoto photobooks, to print out one of these to a .pdf file and use this to layout a similar template in Pages. Or any other layout you fancy.

  • How do I reinstall photo book templates?

    iPhoto 09 could not quit so I had to reinstall the iPhoto app from the CD-ROM. After doing so, the photo book templates are no longer there. Where can I reinstall the book templates from?
    thx

    Look in your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If you find it there move it to the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder and reboot. Then try iPhoto again. That may save you having to go thru the reinstallation.

  • 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

  • How can I undo a theme change of a photo book?

    I've just spent 5 hours picking photos for my nice photo book for a friend. I was finished, looked at the result and thought, let's save it and try another theme.
    Boo! There is no save function in iPhoto!
    I try anyways, there is a warning, I change the theme... and:
    Boo! All the photos are back randomly and all my handpicking is lost!
    Great, I think, I can go back and revert with Undo:
    BOO! No undo for theme change!
    Is there really no way you can go back and/or save a book before you make changes? Seriously?
    Or what am I missing?
    Thanks, best regards,
    Christoph

    Well the obvious route would have been to duplicate the project and then experiment on the duplicate - you know like you back up before trying things. Boo.
    Other than that, restore from your back up.

  • Is it possible to create a custom photo layout when creating a photo book in iphoto?

    Is it possible to create a custom photo layout when creating a photobook in iphoto? How about adding text boxes?

    Yes and no
    You can not make a custom template nor can you modify one
    You can do a page in other software and then print to PDF using the send PDF to iPhoto option and place the resulting image as a full page photo - See Old Toad's tutorial No.19 for more information.

  • Possible To Change The Colour Of A Theme Template For A Book - Aperture

    Hi
    I am using Aperture 3 and would like to make a photo book for a recent trip, combined with including the text of a blog I wrote during the journey.
    I like the journal theme that now exists in Aperture theme layouts, but I'd like to change the "bark" colour to a specific yellow that was used for all of the promo literature for the event. Is it possible at all, or am I limited to the few colours on the dropdown list?
    If it isnt possible, do you have any other ideas about how else I could achieve this? I have looked at some of the plug ins available and can only see a few that are either too "upmarket" for the job at hand, or also dont allow to change the background to a specific rgb colour.
    Any ideas anyone?
    Thanks!
    Andy

    .
    0* Proceed at your own risk *0
    There may be a much easier way to do this.
    The color information is stored in separate plists for the large and extra-large books. The plist files are at, for example:
    +/Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/Resources/Book Themes/Photo Journal/Extra Large/Backgrounds+
    You can edit the plist to show whatever color you want.

    I get this pop up when trying to create a photo book through the iPhoto store.  
    "Some or all of the photos you selected were downloaded from your published albums. You can only view these photos. To use them in an album or a slideshow or project, you must import them to your photo library."
    The photos I have selected have already been imported so how and why do I do it all over again?
    What do they mean by published albums?  I categorize them into photo albums for organizational purposes after I import them from my camera or phone. So why can't I put them into a book now?
    I have over 400 photos selected for a photo book for my child's graduation gift so how can I tell which photos I have to do this to?
    Please help. Any insight wouyld be appreciated.
    Confused and frustrated...

    Give this a try:  apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    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.

  • How do I delete custom book themes

    How do I delete unwanted custom book themes?
    I am still finding my way around Aperture and have made a couple of errors when creating book themes. I now want to delete those unwanted themes. I have looked in the Aperture Help and the Aperture User Guide, but I cannot find anyway to delete unwanted book themes.
    Some clue as to where to look would be a great help.
    I am operating a Macbook Pro with Mac OS 10.9.1. Maverick.

    The custom themes get installed in your user library in the folder:
    ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Book Themes/
    Your User Library may still be hidden - the default sinceMacOS X Lion.
    Quit Aperture and open it from your "Home" folder:
    Select the "Home" folder icon (the little house)  in the Finder's sidebar and press the key combination ⌘J to open the view options. Enable "Show Library Folder".
    Then open the Home folder and open the Library folder inside and navigate to
    ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Book Themes/
    Remove your own themes  and shut down and restart your system.
    Regards
