  • How do I print to both sides of paper for greeting card on Brother Printer

    I did not find the answer on the forum. I have iLife 09 and this Brother MFC-790CW printer. I do not see any automatic setting for printing on both sides. I am using a iPhoto greeting card template and it looks OK with a page one for the front and a page two for the back.
    Maybe the only way is to print out all the fronts pages (20) and then put the paper back in and print all the pages 2 (the text inside of the card). That seems like it would be faster than other ways, except automatic.
    Obviously I should have done this a month ago and sent the project to Apple, but now I have no more time. Ii have the right paper for the one fold cards and plenty of ink

    You need to have an image editor that supports layers. If you do follow the directions in these tutorials:
    #8 - Printing a iPhoto Greeting Card
    #8a - Printing a iPhoto Greeting Card to Standard Stock Sizes
    Here are some editors that support layers:
    Some Image Editors that support layers:
    Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac - $79
    GraphicConverter - $45
    Rainbow Painter - $30
    Acorn - $50
    Pixelmator - $60
    Seashore - Free
    Portraits and Prints - Free
    GIMP for Mac - Free
    You might be able to use Pages instead of an image editor.

  • Setting margins for Greeting Cards and centering image

    When we try and set up printing a greeting card from iPhoto 6 on a portrait card the image is always too close to the right hand edge, i.e. there is a white margin between the image and the fold - and this margin is larger than the margin on the right hand (outer) edge of the image. How can we centre the image keeping it on the right hand side of the greeting card?
    We tried using a custom paper from page setup - but the custom size dropped off the menu when we went into the print menu.
    Thank you.

    Dai the dig:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you have a 3rd party editor that supports layers you can print a card without any border. Look at Tutorial #8.
    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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Software for greeting cards

    I have no idea where to post my question, so I'll begin here.
    Is there software available for Macs that will enable me to print my own greeting cards, e.g., birthday cards, thank you notes, get well cards, etc.?
    Thanks!
    eMac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    We’ve got a family business (small plug!: http:/www.richardwoodgate.internet-today.co.uk) producing a range of prints, laminated bookmarks and cards from original watercolour and acrylic paintings. The images used are all stored in iPhoto and then we print from iPhoto to our Epson printer in N-up format (Epson only setting?) which prints multiple images to a sheet - usually 6 or 9. We then cut them out by hand with a straight-edge/guillotine and use double sided tape to attach them to the front of the cards which we buy in from a wholesaler with matching envelopes and cellophane bags for display.
    The book marks are produced in Pages - images and text are arranged and formatted before being ‘grouped’. Each bookmark is then duplicated to fill the sheet and then sent to print.
    We are expanding into printing directly onto the front of cards and producing cards with messages inside. For the time being, we will be using some ‘in-house made’ Pages templates as and when our new printer arrives.
    To be honest, it is a bit of a crude setup, but it works wonders, and the speed and efficiently of the Mac enables us to produce and market top-quality goods. Any image manipulation is done using The GIMP.

  • HELP REQUIRED FOR GREETING CARD SIZES IN PSE10

    I've wasted hours trying to find  how to obtain 5" x 7" folded greeting card sizes.  The default menu only offers four sizes, all for flat cards but according to the Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 "Classroom in a Book" I should be able to select a 5" x 7" folded postcard using "Shutterfly".  I have visited the "Shutterfly"website but it appears to only support US/Canada residents.  Any suggestions, other than moving to the USA/Canada, on to how to overcome this problem would be most welcome.

    Suggest that you enhance your picture file in Elements, then save it.
    Use a program such as WORD, and utilize templates which can be downloaded from http://www.avery.com.
    For example, #3378 is a Half-Fold card, 5.5 x 8.5", designed for their paper stock. http://www.avery.com/avery/en_us/Search/?dimsearch=true&N=0&Ntk=All&Ntx=mode+matchall&Nty= 0&Nr=AND%28SITESCHANNELS%3AAvery.com%29&Ntt=3378&x=16&y=7
             Insert the picture, add your text, and you're ready to go.

  • Any video tutorials for "Greeting Card Shop?"

    Hello.  I just purchased Greeting Card Shop from the Mac App store as a viable alternative to my PC version of The Print Shop.  There are no directions.  Are there any video tutorials for this program (a la "Video Professor")?  Thank you.

  • Best product for Greeting Card?

  • Best program for greeting cards

    which is the best adobe program for layout or creating custom greeting cards? Something like publisher, where I can take the graphics created in photoshop place them in a card template or layout and give them to the printer to run off?

    Hard to say, really. The forums are set up assuming people know the answer to the question you asked. Perhaps the Design discussion forum might be a place to start. Although now you have the answer I gave above: InDesign. You might want to visit there and take a look around at what people are talking about.
    There was a discussion about how to do greeting cards in the last couple of days: http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?128@@.3bbda6c9

  • How do you print on the back of a greeting card in Photo Creations

    I want to put pictures/text on the back of a greeting card created in Photo Creations, how do I do that?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi again, JaysMother.
    Are you making print-at-home or ship-to-home cards? For Print at Home, you could make a second card that has just the front image and blank inside surfaces (use the Plain White theme). Then feed the paper through again, upside-down. Experiment with plain paper first to make sure everything's lining up the way you want.
    Let us know how it goes!

  • When uploading photos with the SD card reader Photos creates three Albums "last imported" , "All imported"

    when I upload photos with the ipad2 card reader it uploads three the photos three times into three albums: "last Imported", all imported" and the "file name".  What if i only want the album once?  rwb

    There is only one copy of each imported photo. The photos are not duplicated.
    For those who import photos regularly, the last import may be important to them instead of all imported photos being available in All Imported.
    All imported photos are stored in All Imported. The photos in Last Imported include a pointer to the original photos stored in All Imported. The photos are not duplicated, just as placing a song in an iTunes playlist does not duplicate the song.

  • 5 by 7 Greeting Card--6 photos

    I am trying to create a graduation 5 by 7 card in Photoshop Elements 12.  I want to use 6 to 8 photos on the card.  When I select the options that show multiple photos such as storyteller, the format only allows for 3 pictures.  Is there a way to add more photos than the formats offered?
    Thanks,
    Lulu

    I suggest that you make your own template for this project.
    In PSE Editor, Expert tab, go to File menu>new>Blank file. Enter w & h, resolution the same value as that of the picture files, background color to suit. This will be your canvas.
    Do the math and figure out how many pictures you can fit on the card comfortably.
    Go to File>place, point to where the pictures are on disk, then place them. Use the corner handles to resize the pictures while holding down the shift key in order to retain the proportions. Each picture will come in on a separate layer.
    You can add a stroke to each picture if desired.
    Hope that this helps.

  • Premier Elements vs. Pro for Pan and Zoom Photo Slide Shows

    I am a professional architectural photographer. I need to create videos using a set of photos, and I need the ability to pan and zoom to specific parts of each photo.  I need to be able to tell the software where to pan from and to, and where to zoom in or out.  For example, I might start at the left side of a photo, pan toward the left side of the photo, then stop panning and zoom in.  I need to control the speed of the pan and zoom, and control where they happen within each photo.  I will not be dealing with video, only still photos.
    I have seen a video demonstrating this capability in in Premier Pro.  Can it also be done in Premier Elements?

    rvomund
    Please check out the Adobe document on it Pan and Zoom Tool and that feature's workspace
    http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/using/pan-zoom-create-video-like.html
    There is a difference using this tool for video versus stills. And, since you mention that you will be using just stills, I have
    not gone into pan and zoom applied to video with this tool.
    Please review and consider. If questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Before any purchase decisions, good idea to look at the free 30 day tryout of Premiere Elements 13 from Adobe.

  • Greeting cards and Elements

    I'm thinking of purchasing photoshop elements 3.0. I have 2 questions-
    1. Will there soon be a 4.0 elements? Should I wait to purchase, or did 3.0 just come out? (I noticed there's a windows 4.0 elements version)
    2. Can you design greeting cards with this Photoshop Elements software? iphoto seems very limiting on what you can do with greeting cards- adding text, design on back, etc. If Elements doesnt do this, can anyone suggest a good software application for greeting cards, cd cases, etc.
    thanks!

    Well, it looks like PE4 will eventually be available for mac as well, but they won't say when:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/
    Glad you're enjoying printshop, although I don't know of anything that comes standard with PCs that takes its place, not these days. I find I need to buy at least as much software for my pc as my mac.

  • Valid size not available for this creation when using Greeting Card feature

    Using PSE9 with a Mac.  When attempting to create a greeting card, after selecting the photo, the Greeting Card, I receive a pop up error message as follows:
    "Valid Size Not Available For This Creation".  (All other Create functions such as Photo Book, Photo Calendar, and Photo Collage appear to be working).  I have been in contact with Adobe Support and have been instructed to do a number of things from creating a new preferences file to uninstalling and re-installing the PSE software, with no result.  Has anyone else run into this problem, and if so have found a fix?  Thanks.

    I've been tearing my hair out over this one also. I've been on hold for over 10 hrs with Adobe Support waited over almost 2 weeks and still no resolution. I'm trying to create the Save the Date cards for my wedding and I can't wait for Adobe. Removing the preferences file and uninstalling/reinstalling does not fix the problem.
    That said I did figure out a workaround for this. It's easy but it does require Windows. For me this was no big deal as I do own a Windows box.
    Get the free trial version of PE9 for Windows and install it. If you don't have a Windows computer get to a friend that has one
    Upload some of your photos to the PE9 Windows Organizer (it's identical to the mac version)
    Select Create and then Greeting card. Photoshop will launch the guided edit feature for greeting cards.
    Select the Layout feature and once you find out that you like save it as Photoshop project. Repeat this step for as many layouts as necessary.
    Copy your Photoshop project files (and any folders) to your mac.
    Open the project files as you would with any other Photoshop file.
    You can now select the Create feature. You will be able add your pictures and resize them, you will be able to add/remove text, you'll be able to change the backgound/borders, add graphics...pretty much anything...EXCEPT automatically modify the layout. If you click on Layout, PE9 returns nothing. You can however go into full edit mode and if you have decent Photoshop skills you can make any changes to the layout manually.
    If I had to put money on this I'd say that there is a problem with the PE9 Mac installation package. For some reason it is not deploying the layout data/files or it is not putting them in the right place. For this reason the program can't find the layouts when the user selects the greeting card guided edit.
    Good luck.

  • Making Greeting Cards in Pages

    I am very frustrated. I am so used to Page Maker and the way it worked. I was able to make greeting cards with it. I seem to not be able to do it with Pages. In Page Maker I divided the document in two. I could print a card on the top half as well as the bottom half. I used guidelines to divide the document in half both horizontally as well as vertically. I would insert my graphic on the right side and be able to move it around where I wanted it. I would also put a text box on the right side and center that as well. For the life of me I cannot get it to do that with Pages. I divided the document in half with guidelines but cannot get my graphic to go on the right side nor can I move it around. My text goes all over the place. I cannot center it on the right side. I am so used to being able to move my graphics and text around. Is there any way I can do in Pages what I used to do in Page Maker? What am I doing wrong? I sure do miss Page Maker.

    Hi Roberta,
    Don't let your frustration wear you down. Pages works great for greeting cards. It seems from your discussion that you're producing either tent or book fold cards. Neither is a problem.
    First for your text. I recommend using the Layout view from the view menu. then click somewhere off the page (but still in the Pages window) so that the text cursor is no longer visible. Once that is done click the Objects icon in the tool bar and select Text. You will notice that a text box shows up on your page with the cursor blinking inside. Open the Inspector and click on the third icon from the left at the top of the inspector. This is the Wrap Inspector. Click in your text box to make sure it is selected, then click "fixed on page" in the inspector. You can then move the text box anywhere on the page you wish (by dragging) and you can rotate and resize it any way you want using commands in the various inspector panels.
    Inserting images is similar. Simply click on the insert menu, and click on choose. Then find the image you want and click on insert. Bingo, the image is on the page. Select the image by clicking anywhere on it and then go to the inspector and make sure "fixed on page" is selected in the Wrap Inspector.
    You can do the same basic operations as many times as you like and once each object is "fixed on page" you can move it or reorient it at will. Another poster in this group advised reading the manual and practicing. I entirely agree and think you will find Pages to be rather straight forward to work with.
    One other thing you may want to consider is creating a template of your cards to save time each time you want to create a new one. The manual (or help system) provides excellent guidance on template creation and saving.
