Editing iphoto Album using Pages 08

I had the issue of Mac Life that ran an editorial on how to incorporate pages with iphoto album. I THREW it out doing spring cleaning. Yes im an idiot.
So... are there any links on the web or here that can help assist me in learning how to combine the two programs to use for my benefit of making my album better?
Thanks a million...
AND.. lol... if you happen to have a link to that issue ill gladly mow your lawn.

You can use a page or multiple pages from Pages or Keynote in iPhoto by doing a Print to PDF and selecting the Send PDF to iPhoto menu option. That will create a jpg version of each page of the document which is imported into iPhoto and can be used in an book page with a one photo per page layout, a slideshow, or any other iPhoto feautre just like any jpg file. I use it to make an iDVD slideshow of every book I create and order.
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.

Yes, as long as you save them in .doc format.

Edited iphoto album but it deleted my edits and went to original album, any way to recover?

I edited an iphoto album. Macbook shut down and reverted to the original album. Any way to get the edited album back? About 3000 photos.

Go to your Pictures folder and select iPhoto. Enter Time Machine from the menu bar at the top. Once in TM go back in time (on the right side if the window) to the backup just before the problem happened. Select the iPhoto LIbrary and click on the Restore button.

Editing iPhoto pics Using Aperture 3 Help

I am using Aperture 3 to fine tune edit my iPhoto pics. Question is....once its edited, how do I get the revised image to save or better replace the original in iPhoto (without dragging copying and pasting?)

You can't.
Aperture is not a photo editor like Photoshop, Acorn or Pixelmator.
Like iPhoto, it's a database. Images have to be imported to Aperture. To get them out agin they have to be exported.
Aperture is not an external editor for iPhoto.
It's a complete replacement for iPhoto.
You can share your previews with iPhoto - but that requires dragging from the Media Browser.
Honestly: you need to decide which app you want to manage your photos - Aperture or iPhoto and then forget the other one.

ITunes doesn't see new added photos in iPhoto Album

Hello:
Am attempting to sync an iPhoto Album using iTunes on a iMac, 10.7.2 to an iP4 running iOS 5.1 Have successfully sync'ed this iPhoto Album to the iP4 for some time... Now, in iTunes, the number of photos in the Album does not agree with the count in iPhoto; iTunes does not see the photos I added in iPhoto today; so the sync doesn't put them on the phone. (Have used at least two methods to add these to the Album in iPhoto; it consistently shows them added and photo count incremented...)
Any suggestions/help appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

OK...for anyone having this problem... It seems that iMac/iPhoto may save image items with image extensions as "documents", not with a .jpg / image extension. Even when I download them and use the "save as image..." menu choice.
Sorry for pulling the trigger on this so quickly, but importing an image using "save as image" led me to believe that Mac OS and iPhoto would tag it as such...it may not...in spite of the fact that iPhoto displays it as an image and recognizes it.
Regards.

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.

IPhoto Album updating iWeb Album page

OK .. I'm lost! I created an iWeb Album page and a new matching iPhoto album to put the photos in. Now I've added new photos to the iPhoto album and they don't show up in iWeb. There is a lot of work on the iWeb page with a lot of descriptions etc and I don't want to have to delete the page and drag in the new updated album. What am I missing? How to I sync any newly added pictures in the iPhoto album with the iWeb album?
Thanks...

The iWeb pages don't automatically update like iPhoto Web Galleries do. You will have to add the new photos to the iWeb photo page and republish that page.
If you were using a iPhoto Web Gallery in an iWeb page then all you would have to do is click on the publish button in iPhoto and the gallery would be updated when accessed via iWeb.

HT1040 trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.

trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.
if i clear the book so that it is all blanks and then try to load in the pictures i have it loses the chronology of the pictures that i had established in the album.
is there a way to import photos into an ibook template and keep the original order of the photos without having to do them one at a time?
also, is there a way to insert a photo rather than just dragging it? i have tried the cut and paste funciton but it doesn't seem to work, the target site doesn't seem to register with iphoto.
many thanks for your help.

Photos are added to book in chronological order. So if you want to add them to a book in the order you have placed them manually in an album do the following:
1 - select all the photos in the album.
2 - use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option as shown here. Select any date and add 1 minute between photos.
3 - select just one photo from the album and create a book from it.
4 - in the book click on the Options button ➙ Book Settings button and make sure the checkbox for Auto-layout pages is unchecked.
5 - drag the album with your book photos onto the book icon and they will be imported into the Photos tray of the book in your pre-determined order but not into the pages themselves.

Can't edit smart album in iPhoto '11

The help files for iPhoto say to select a smart album in the source list and then select it item 'edit smart album' in the file menu. But there is no such item in the File menu.
When I right-click on the album, the option 'edit smart album' is dimmed. Could it be that this album is not smart?? All my smart albums display the same misbehavior.

I think you may have suggested something that explains all this: my iPhoto library is a product of a Merge operation by iPhoto Library Manager, which I use to combine photos originally imported on different computers in the family. It is possible that that program makes all smart albums into dumb albums! I'll look up the documentation.

IMac or Mac Pro for iPhoto albums and home movie editing?

I have a Mac Pro OS X 10.6.8 with iPhoto 7.1.5. This system is now obsolete for ordering iPhoto albums. I need to upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 to buy a Mac produced photo album. To upgrade iPhoto I need to buy a new Mac as my 2004 Mac Pro with 2008 Snow Leopard can't be upgraded. I will use the new Mac for email, web surfing, iPhoto, and weekend video editing. I use Final Cut Express on my current Mac Pro. I will also need to transfer videos and about 20,000 photos from my current Mac to a new one.
So, here's the question: For my needs (listed above) which is better,
(1) iMac 27" or (2) new Mac Pro? Then, with the one chosen, how should it be configured to do my basic video editing? I have 100 hours of family video on Hi8 and VCR tapes and will edit these on Final Cut and burn them to DVD's. (I understand both iMac or Mac Pro now require an external DVD set-up.) So, which computer and how should it be configured. Looking to pay between $2500-$3500. Thanks for your help!

What video formats are you talking about? DV, HDV, etc?
Mac Pro is a better solution, regardless. Here's why: Simply upgrading an iMac HD is not enough. You do not want to capture your video to the boot drive. It's too much to ask the drive to manage the OS, your editing software, AND your media. This scenario might work - but is certainly prone to dropping frames. Ideally, you want one drive for OS + editing software & a separate drive to capture media to.
Now, since you can only have a single HD in the iMac, you're demoted to using external capture drives. So let's say you get yourself a FW800 drive for capture and then hook up your camera/deck to an available FW400 port. You'd think you're safe - and again, you may be. But the problem now is that the iMac has ONE and only ONE FireWire bus. So in theory these 2 devices: HD & Camera are battling for the same bandwidth. So you've still got a bottleneck happening.
So DV only would probably work. But it may have issues that the expandability of the Mac Pro can conquer. Hope this helps.

Hi, how can I eliminate the post stamps on pages of my iPhoto album? Thanks for your help - regards - Claire

Hello everyone,
In the subject, I believe I specify exactly my problem. I am using iPhoto but am a beginner. So lots of new things to learn.
I thus would like to eliminate the post stamps which appear on almost every single page of my photo album.
Can anyone help me?
Many thanks
Claire

Hi Terrence, you are quite right - looking further into the file, I notice now that I choose the wrong theme, one which has stamps on every single page. Thanks a lot for your help. I am now able to improve my work on my present iPhoto album. Regards - Claire

Photo edits not showing up in iPhoto when using PSE

I have recently purchased Photoshop Elements 13 and have set iPhoto to use it as my editor. That is working, however, when I save the file, the new file does not show up in iPhoto. It does, however, show up in Organizer. Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks Larry, I don't doubt that I'm not doing it correctly, but I don't know what I am doing wrong. I have selected PSE to be my external editor in the iPhoto preferences and when I select a photo in iPhoto to edit, it comes up in PSE. I edit the photo and select save (or click on the X in the top right corner of the image, I have tried both and gotten the same results both ways. I get a dialog box that indicates PSE is going to save the file in psd format. I have let it do that and I have also changed to JPG, neither has made any difference. I have also gone in and changed the preferences in PSE to replace the original file on the advice of help at Elements Village. It didn't change the file in iPhoto before that change and it hasn't changed it after that change either.
The file I originally was working with was in RAW format, and I read in another thread that there was no way for PSE to save the edited RAW file back into iPhoto directly, that it would need to be saved somewhere else, such as to the desktop, and then imported back into iPhoto. So, I edited a jpg file and saved it and that edited file did not show up in iPhoto either. From reading other threads, it seems to work for other people, but I don't know what I and doing wrong or what else to try. I have spent a ton of time trying to get this to work because I don't care for the PS Organizer and would prefer to use iPhoto to organize my photos and PSE and ACR to edit them, but so far I am not having any luck with it other than saving the edited file somewhere else and then importing it again into iPhoto, which is a pretty clunky way to have to do it.

Edit photo in iPhoto before using in iMovie, or not?

Is it better to enhance a photo in iPhoto (edit mode) before using the photo in iMovie; or would the quality from using "auto" in video adjust in iMovie (on an unedited photo) work just as well?

I did the test with 16 photos (2 different cameras: iPhone and Lumix LX5). I auto-enhanced each photo using iMovie and iPhoto. I exported the movie as an M4V file and played it on my macbook pro using quicktime.
Results: a very mixed bag. In general, the iMovie auto-enhance yields more vivid and contrasty photos with less detail. The iPhoto ones (same photo) sometimes appear a bit washed out, but generally have more detail. The problem is some look better when done in iMovie and some look better when done in iPhoto. For most, it does not make a lot of difference, so I guess I will go with iPhoto and add other effects in iMovie.
iPhoto will allow me to straighten a photo, and iMovie won't. I do not crop photos using iPhoto because the iMovie cropping (with Ken Burns effect as an option) gives me a lot more flexibility.
For what it's worth.

When i put in a compact flash card iphoto automaticaly comes up to import my photos. I have to exit out of iphoto to use the editing softwear that i prefer to use every time. It is very annoying. How do i prevent this from happening?

iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> General -> Connecting Camera opens.... And select your preferred app.
You can also make the same choice in the Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) and Aperture preferences.
