Extra-large photo book available for iPhoto 08?

Can anyone tell me if I can create an extra large size photo book with iPhoto '08? I see online that extra-large (Size: 13x10 inches) is available, however in my iPhoto this option is not there (only large Size: 11x8.5 inches). Do I have to upgrade to iPhoto '09 in order to get that?
Thank you.
Irina

If I'm understanding this correctly, is there a work around, i.e. perhaps just purchasing the iPhoto upgrade to 09?
The only way to upgrade iPhoto is to purchase the iLife suite. There is no way to purchase an update to iPhoto alone.
It is surely contraindicative to me to not allow iPhoto 08 users to order a book that costs $50 instead of one that costs $30 without first spending $80 to upgrade!
Contraindicitative or not, adding the feature of the extra-large book means extra coding of the app, extra product testing and all the hoohaa that goes with releasing an update, and all of these are a cost. Extra features are an incentive to upgrade. Adding them to legancy versions lessens that incentive. I know of no software developer that adds features to an app after a newer version has come out.
it does not make economic sense for me to spent $80 just to be able to purchase something larger in size.
A calculation only you can make for yourself.

Can I change an Extra Large photo book to a smaller size once done?

Can I change an Extra Large photo book to a smaller size once done?

Sure - butyour text boxes may need work since being a different size may affect the view - to change duplicate the book just in case (select it and press command - D) and then go to themes and select the same theme in teh new size - closly verify the modified book and preview it -
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.

How can you tell photo quality is good for large photo books

I want to make a large photo book (13 X 10) and I have a good quality camera, but how do I tell the photos are good enough to blow up to that size.

I want to make a large photo book (13 X 10) and I have a good quality camera, but how do I tell the photos are good enough to blow up to that size
With a bit of arithmetic. Check the pixel size of your photos.
To print a good quality book you will need at least 200 pixels per inch to get the necessary dpi in the printout.
So your photos should have a pixel size of at least 13 x 200 by 10 x 200 = 2600 x 2000 pixels.
Check the Info panel for the pixel sizes of your selected photos.

Large photo book says $29.99,when I check out, it says $49.99.

Large photo book, start page says $29.99 without mentioning number of pages,when I finish and am ready to check out, it says $49.99 and I did not explicitly add pages. My book ended up with 40 pages.

Photo books. Give your pictures an incredible shelf life.
Making gorgeous photo books starts with the new, dynamic Theme browser. As you flip through the browser, you can see how your photos look in each theme. Choose the theme you like and iPhoto places all your photos in the right spots and even makes sure photos of people are cropped and framed perfectly. You can change the background color, font, layout, and more with just a few clicks. Choose your favorite photo for the book cover. Add full-bleed, two-page spreads to really show off panoramic shots. Make books big enough for the coffee table or small enough to carry around, with hardcover, softcover, and wirebound options. And make many, many copies.

Moving a photo book created in iphoto from a laptop to a desktop

Any idea how to move a photo book created in iphoto from a laptop to a desktop in order to do some editing before submitting to apple for purchase? Iphoto on laptop is version 4.0 or 5.0. Desktop version has 8.0.
Any suggestions appreciated.

There's only one way to do it.
iPhoto stores your books etc within the main database file. There is no way to transfer this to another library. You'll need to copy the entire library to bring it to a machine with an internet connection.
Here's a tip: duplicate the iPhoto Library in your Pictures Folder. Then, hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue select 'Choose Library' and open the Copy library. From these, delete any pics not in a book etc - put them in the iPhoto trash and empty it (iPhoto menu -> Empty Trash). That way you'll only bring the minimum you need with you to the machine with the internet connection.
However, beware - there's no guarantee the the book template you're using in v4 (or v5) is the same - or even available - in v7 (iLife 08)

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.

Any books available for OS X Leopard Server?

Does anyone know if there are any books available for OS X Leopard Server? I can find some for Tiger but not Leopard. Thanks

Aside from the pretty cool PDF manuals Apple post on their site, I ordered this recently:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/MAC-Server-Essentials-Apple-Training/dp/0321496604/ref=p dbbs_sr2?ie=UTF8&s=gateway&qid=1202853792&sr=8-2
I know it's in the UK Store, but you may be able to get hold of it anyway. It's also focused on ACTC training, but I have always found these books excellent resources for learning OS X Server.
Hope that helps a little,
Paul

IPhoto crashes when trying to open a large photo book

My wife has been working for days assembling a large (90+ pages) photo book. Now when we go into iPhoto and try to open up the book she's been working o, iPhoto crashes. I can open other photo books we've made, just not that one.

back up and rebuild your iPhoto library - launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) and command (apple) keys and use the first three options
Just tried rebuilding the thumbnails like you suggested and still no luck.
If you used the first three options you rebuilt the entire library - not just the thumbnails - did you select all three or did you select only rebuild thumbnails?
You need to rebuild the library - not just the thumbnails

Need to reprint photo book created with iPhoto & My Publisher

I created two photo books in December of 2006 via iPhoto and used the My Publisher plugin to use that service for output. Anyway, I gave the book as a gift and now I would like to make a copy for myself. The problem is that My Publisher cannot reprint these books... this was verified today by one source at MP.
So, what are my options, I strongly prefer the MP option (that's not available) because I wanted an exact copy and the price is right (about half of what Apple charges last I checked).
BTW: These two books were created with two different versions of iPhoto... maybe v5 & v6.
Thanks,
Robert

So, what are my options,
If My Published will not reprint for you then that is not a choice
So your choices are to order from Apple or redo the book for some other source of your choice

Large photo book project - lots of questions

I have 680+ pictures I want to put in a Wirebound photo book.
(It's a book of Matchbook covers, arranged by dominant color.)
I have the pictures grouped in folders (according to major color).
Iphoto only seems to import ALL the photos and removes the folders and grouping.
The only grouping I have available is "Last Import", "Last 12 Months" and "Recent" (which are not the pics).
1) Is there any way to maintain the folder structure so I can import the pictures into the photo book in the order I would like?
The autoflow feature doesn't work because it will group all the pics (without folder organization) into the book, organized by name.
3) How can I find out the dimensions of each photo "slot" so I can reduce pictures to fit in the slot without losing some of the image?
For example, since there are so many pictures, I chose the 16 photos/page option but the only layout available is a "square" type slot. Some of the horizontal images (long matchbooks) get chopped off and the image-size slider is already at the smallest setting. So: what's the size for each slot?
4) Isn't there some sort of option where you can just drag the images into the page and iphoto will adapt the layout for the image? (But maintaining the maximum number of pictures on each page/layout?
Any help or insight will be immensely helpful!
Thank you!!
Courtney

Photo slots do not have "dimensions" - they are a ratio - typically square 1x1 or rectangular 4x3 - You can fit a photo to the frame in most layouts by right clicking on the placed photo and selecting fit to frame
Isn't there some sort of option where you can just drag the images into the page and iphoto will adapt the layout for the image? (But maintaining the maximum number of pictures on each page/layout?
In some layouts for some themes the direction of the frame changes with the placed photo - in others it does not - you simply have to experiment to find the ones that do
This write up on iphoto '09 -- http://www.iphotobookthemes.com/pmwiki.php?n=Main.HomePage -- explains some and shows examples of the '09 layouts - in general those are still valid in '11 and there are lots more

Creating larger Photo Books are $$$$$$$!!!!

Kinda disappointing - had a discussion with the printing group who produce the photo books through iPhoto. I have used them before and LOVE the product and final book. However - NO discounts for large orders. I have created a large hard cover book for my hiking club and EVERYONE wnats one. When I tell them it will be $170 per book - they say NO THANKS. I have a 94 page hard cover book. On BLURB.COM it would cost me half. However, I am a dedicated APPLE guy and have no desire to stray. But for HALF the price - it may happen. Any thoughts out there. Is there anyone else that can compete with the ease, style and quyality of an Apple Book???

Sandy:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try the following:
1 - select the book and type Command-D. That should create a duplicate of the original book.
2 - open the copy and change the cover from hard to soft. You'll get a warning that you could lose the text but many times I've not. It's worth a try. If it works you're home free.

Buy a photo book made with iPhoto 08?

I've made a photo book on an iMac running 10.8.5 with iPhoto 08 (7.1.5). When I pressed "buy", it said it was not possible with this version. I can't upgrade the machine or software (it's not my machine). Is there a work-around? Is there a way of exporting the finished project so that I can import it and buy it on a more up-to-date machine? Thanks.

You can purchase your book from other sources - google is your friend - one source to look at is PrestoPrint
You can upgrade to iPhoto '11 by purchasing an iLife '11 DVD from Amazon or eBay and installing iPhoto '11 and upgrading to the latest version or system supports
You can make a copy of your entire iPhoto library (there is no way to export a book except as a DF which can not be used to order from Apple and can not be edited) and open it on a Mac with iphoto '-9 or '11 and order -
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it. - check the preview carefully as i is possible that some things change when you change versions

Photo Book editing locks iPhoto solid

Has anyone else had this issue? On my Retina MBP, everytime that I try to edit my Photo Book I'm building, the entire app freezes. I have to perform a Force Quit on it and re-launch it. This happens constantly, in the span of 90 seconds I performed a Force Quit three times.
I've got the latest updates for it, for OS X and the MB updates that come in the app store. I'm not sure how else to fix this. There are no devices plugged into my USB ports, HDMI or Thunderbolt ports, so it's not something external causing it. This is the only app that causes this, any suggestions? They'd be much appreciated!
Thanks.

That new librarary was a test to see if it was the old library's fault or a wider problem. It proved to be a problem with your old library.
You can recover your old library as follows: make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and 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.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Aperture Photo-book Deadline for Christmas?

Does anyone know what the deadline is for receiving photo-books by Christmas Eve? iPhoto's is the 18th. I'm assuming it's the same for Aperture but just want to check.

Hi TxOutsider,
Just picking up your post from the weekend - I emailed Apple Photo Services at the weekend with the same question, and from a European perspective at least, it's definitely the 18th. Hope that helps!
Cheers,

Photo Booth available for non iMacG5?

Is Apple's new Photo Booth application available for Macs other than the new iMacG5? I bought the new iMacG5 for my daughter and the family loves Photo Booth. I wanted to give my son an iSight camera with Tiger upgrade for his dual 2GHz Mac for Christmas. Does the latest Tiger upgrade include a Photo Booth application that will work with any Mac?

As explained in the first of the iMac G5 (iSight): Frequently Asked Questions, Photo Booth only available with the new iMac G5 (iSight) computer.
Photo Booth does NOT come with Tiger.
Some of the many other apps that can be used with iSight are shown in Some Applications You Can Use With iSight
