Finding a photo book file.

I am working on a photo book and it is not in the recently edited list anymore. I found a folder with all the pages and pictures except for the title page. How is a book identified (extender) so I can find it. It also used to automatically know it was a book and load as such, but all my searches are in vain.

I am using PSE 9. I did as you suggested and got all the .pse files in one place. I found a folder that has everything in it up to the last time I edited on it. I can open each file and it is the correct page from the book, but elements will not recognize it as a book. I tried creating a new book and dropping these pages in place, but when I try to save it Elements crashes and it doesn't get saved.
Am I at a point where I need to uninstall and reinstall? Would getting PSE 11 cure any of this?

Photo Book file size

Hi!
What's a normal file size figure for a standard doublesided photo book in large format? I just compiled and sent away a book, and the file that was uploaded was around 13Mb. I thought that was kind of small and became worried that perhaps I had a less then optimal resolution preference set somewhere (I've done the DPI hack thing), but perhaps they usually turn out in this size. Any expericened Photo Book maker who can confirm?
Thanks a lot!
Erik

That may be about right. I just created a large, double-sided, 60 photo, 29 page pdf book thru the ordering process (canceled at the last window) that came in at 18MB. The pdf's that were generated with iPhoto 5 were much bigger .

How do I find completed photo book project

Hi, I completed a photobook project a couple of years ago and had a hard copy made. I would like to retrieve that project so I can download the photos. Please tell me how I can do that and also how I can order another photo book of the one I had completed before. Thanks.

Hey Bernadette,
After you create a book, it is saved in iPhoto, and you can open and view your books in the Bookshelf in full-screen view and from the Source list in the iPhoto main window.
To open a book in the iPhoto main window:
Click the book name in the Source list.
The book appears in All Pages view.
To get information about a book, position the pointer over the book’s name at the top of the window.
If you're in full-screen mode and want to open a previous book project, or you just want more info, you can find it here:

Where in Lion 10.7 Time Machine can I find the Address Book file

Help!
I Sync duplicated my Address Book entries. But now with Lion 10.7 I no longer can find the Address Book contacts file to restore in Time Machine.

Sorry, but you're still in the top-level Library folder.
Select the ~/Library folder via Alt/Option key while selecting Go from the menubar:
Then Enter Time Machine.

Can't Find my Photo Book Project?!

I was in the middle of adding pictures to my photo book project and it gave me the little round "I'm thinking" Icon and it was taking forever, it sat for more than 5 minutes so I did a hard shut down.
When I restarted my Mac my whole project was gone!! All of my pictures are still there in the events section but the project is nowhere to be found. Please tell me I didn't just loose hours of work!? Where does iPhoto store projects by default.
Also I have Time Machine and I tried to back up the entire iPhoto application and still no luck. Is there somewhere where my project is hiding?
Please give me some advice, thanks!!

Dana:
For a quicker and easier way to recover from similar losses in the future see the tip at the end of my signature below. You can run the referenced application as frequently as you want, after every import, every change to a book or calendar, etc. like you would use the Save command in other applications. iPhoto does not have to be closed to use it, just idle. If the problem exists, just replace the damaged database file with the backup version and you're back up and running.
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.

How do I find a photo book that was made on a Mac I no longer haave?

I am trying to print another copy of a photo book I made in iphoto on my brothers laptop several years ago. Is their an online account that would store the photo book?

Afraid not. When you order a book from Apple a copy is kept for 30 days or thereabouts then destroyed.

Where can i find the original book files i put into ibooks?

I added the .epubs I own into iBooks and, thanks to a Transcend hdd problem, have lost my back up af all the books I had. What I would like to do is grab my files back and back them up again but I cannot find the files in finder. How do I find them? When I find them, will there be issues in retrieving them?

The books that I have in the iBooks app on my Mac (I'm on Yosemite, but I assume that it's the same for Mavericks) are stored under :
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks/Books
If you copy that folder name and use Go > Go To Folder in Finder (shift-command-G) and paste it then you should be taken to the folder
My epubs have meaningless (to me anyway) names in that folder. I'm not aware of any issues.

PSE 9 not finding new photos in files.

PSE 9 does not find the new photos that I add to my windows folders. Previously it had found the photos, showed me the thumbnails and then imported them. It no longer does this. I am using Vista.

HT1040 I have produced an apple photo book on my macbook air which has been returned because I do not have the correct software. Is it possible to transfer the photo book file to my desktop that does have the right soft ware and then modify and send to p

Am I able to import an apple photobook from my macbook air to my desktop? If anyone could help I would be very grateful.
Thanks

You will need to copy the Library to the other machine. You can't move a book, only the library that contains it.

Can't load photo book after crash

Hello, after spending 2+ hours creating a photo book, my mac suddenly crashed, I think due to the high temperature of the computer. The iPhoto application was still running when the computer shut down. After rebooting, I can't load my photo book anymore. The application says "Loading Book", but it stays like this forever.
Is it possible to recover, at least partially, the work that I was doing? Is there an actual "photo book" file somewhere in the computer?
Thank you... I'm quite frustrated right now.

In the future you could do what I do: create a new library for each book I make. I assemble the photos in my primary library into an album and move that album to the book library with iPhoto Library Manager. That makes for a smaller library which can be easier to backup and archive for use and ordering additional copies at a later date: Old Toad's Tutorial #9a - Archiving an iPhoto 7/8 Book for Use/Editing/Ordering at a Later Date.

Error message when compiling book "file is corrupt" referring to a photo. Or "cannot find original photo". Can you use photos that have been "edited" out of "Book Mode"?

I did copy it to my desktop, but it still won't let me open it. I think the file on the disc might be corrupt or something like that though the cd itself checks out fine as far as viruses go. I was able to verify the disc, but that's about it. My husband tried it on his iMac and we have the same issue. It's unzipping the folder, but won't let us open the folder on both the Mac Book Pro or the iMac by double clicking, going to file/open or right clicking. It just keeps saying the same message as I posted above. I think I'm just going to have the client put the pictures on either a memory card or a USB memory stick so she won't have to compress the files for zipping purposes. It's been too frustrating trying to open this folder on this cd she gave me. She said she created/zipped the cd on her Mac Book Pro but it sure won't open on mine.

How do I see my pictures that are in my aperture library in finder? I would like I be able to select photos in finder when I am making photo books online without having to export them first from aperture jinto a new folder. Is there any way to view

How do I see my pictures that are in my aperture library in finder? I would like I be able to select photos in finder when I am making photo books online without having to export them first from aperture jinto a new folder. Is there any way to view and download my pictures directly from finder?

The digitization of data has introduced a complexity to our interactions with it that we continue to struggle with. "Picture" and "Photo" now mean different things in different contexts. In this case (and in general) defining our terms clearly is the first step towards understanding what we are trying to do. Understanding is the path that allows us to do it.
All pedantic, but please stick with me here .
You record a set of instantaneous data with a camera.
That data is processed by your camera and saved to a file.
The file format is usually either RAW or JPG.
You transfer those files to your computer, and you import them into the program Aperture (often in one operation).
From each camera-file imported, Aperture creates a record in its database (called, imho unhelpfully, a Library) and an Image that you see in the Aperture Browser and Viewer.
Aperture links the Image and the imported file.
The imported file is called, within Aperture, an Original.
Every Image has an Original.
The Image is not the Original. The Image is what you see in Aperture.
The Original is a file that is stored on your computer.
You can make changes to an Image.
Aperture calls these changes Adjustments.
Adjustments are saved to another file attached to the record in the database. Let's call this file the Changes File.
Aperture uses these two files attached to the record in the database to create the Image.
Image = Original + Changes File.
The Image is not a file.
Because the Image is not a file, it cannot be shared with other programs. It exists only inside of Aperture.
In order to share an Image with another program, you must first create a file of the Image.
You do this by exporting Images ("File ▹ Export ▹ Version" is the command in Aperture; should be, imho, "File ▹ Export ▹ Image").
You may ask, "Why all the complexity? Why doesn't Aperture save Images as files?" The answer is simple: Images can require less — and in many cases very very much less — storage space than files of Images. Rather than save a full-size file for every Image, Aperture saves only instructions on how to make that full-size file. The gain in storage efficiency is huge. The trade-off is that although your Images are always available to be made into share-able files, you must create those files when needed (which you do by exporting selected Images).
Here is your question reworded with more precise terms:

No, there is not. Images exist only in Aperture, and are not accessible for use in other programs. You must create, for each Image in your Aperture Library, a new file outside of your Aperture Library in order to use it with another program.
Aperture does allow you to create and save within your Library share-able files of your Images. These files are called Previews. You specify the file parameters in Aperture Preferences on the Previews tab. These files are available to other programs via the OS X Media Browser. These files are what you get when you drag selected Images out of the Aperture program and drop them on another program or on your desktop (which is part of the Finder).

Create a Picture book, But I cannot find my photos

This is the very first time I am using Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.   I clicked on "organize" and downloaded about 400 plus photos from my photo folders in my computer. That went okay. The next thing I thought I will create a Photo book. Okay I selected a Family type of photo book. I gave it a title (I believe I did it correctly) than turning to the next step, I can now select my photos for this book. The only thing is I can't find where they are. Where it says click here for photos, it brings me back not to my organizer where I just downloaded 400 pictures but to my computer files where I kept my photo folders.
     So what am I doing wrong?
Next I am trying to find out how to "Tag" these pictures and place it a separate file folders in my organizer. I just can't find the tutorial that would show me how to do it.

Thank you for your response: But I am still having problem on the steps you have given.
Here is what I did:
1. Open Adobe Photoshop Element 9.
2, Clicked on "Organize."
3. On the screen was one individual picture of the 400 plus photos I have in the organize file. Before I followed your guidance I was looking for the button that says show all. In other words show all my photos on the screen instead of individual ones. I did not know how to do that.
     Following your guidance I did hold the the shift key on picture number, held it there till I scrolled down to all the photos.
4. With my finger still holding the shift key, I selected "Create" and selected picture book. In there I had problem tying my text for a title for that book.
     Also on the bottom of the screen, I only saw one individual picture instead of all photos that I supposed ot have selected by holding the shift key.
     The confusing part is when you said "hold down the shift key." Do I hold it down while scrolling down on all 400 pictures?
Please clear this up... thank you again.

I Photo Book Design and File Sizes??

I Photo ? for any photo buffs out there-- I cant find what the largest file size i can import for an iphoto book-
Also--i am making my own photo page using another program and then I guess i will then import them to iPhoto so i can import them to a book-
also-- when it says ful page bleed-- it appears that iphoto still puts a grey border around--thus making your photo page smaller-- any work arounds this??
I want all my pages to have photo end to end-- complete bleed to the page edges -Thanks for any --All Help!! T Hopkins
I have Lion operating system-- do not see it as a choice to select here either?

From what I've observed in my books full bleed was just that. Have you checked out a sample book at your nearest Apple store?
The page dimensions are 8.5 x 11 for the standard, hard cover book. Photos should have the sRGB color profile (NOT the Adobe RGB profile). Since iPhoto creates a pdf of the book at 300 dpi for uploading and printing photos don't need to have a dpi resolution any higher than that.
An easy way to get the page from a 3rd party app into iPhoto would be to do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto. This will create a jpg file of the page and import it into iPhoto. If you don't have the Save PDF to iPhoto option in the PDF menu you can download the file, a 300 dpi version, Save PDF to iPhoto 300 DPI.workflow from Toad's Cellar and place it in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder.

How do I find which photo iPhoto is telling me I have a problem with? I'm trying to buy a book I've formatted, but in place of the filename, it just calls it "(null)". All of the photos I'm using have names.

That same one others seem to have gotten: "Unable to Assemble Book -- There is a problem with the photo with the filename “(null).” The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your book"
I've tried restarting iPhoto with the option and command keys pressed, and asking it to repair permissions, but still have the same message...
