Follow up on photo book quetion

--When I then try to use these smaller photos in the photo book, I get the yellow warning that the photo "may print at too low quality". This is what concerns me.

Hello Shelly,
That behavior is described in the iPhoto help menu here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/8.0/en/6314.html.
Review that link and it's suggestions as they may be of some assistance.
Basically that warning means the image you are using is low resolution. You really should not get that warning unless you are using relatively small images (like imports from a web site). Images imported from a camera should not give you that warning unless you have edited them (like cropping).
Hope that helps.

  • IPhoto 7.1.5 on 10.6.8 Trying to Buy a Photo book

    Hi,
    I have been reading other discussion threads and I can't find exactly my question. I have iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5 on Mac OS X version 10.6.8. Everything was fine until I got the iPhone 5 and needed to update iTunes. I found I needed to update to at least Snow Leopard, so I did that and figured everything was fine now. That was until I made a photo book and tried to purchase it. Unfortunately, I got the following error message: We apologize for the inconvenience, but the ability to order books, cards, calendars and prints is no longer supported in iPhoto 7. Please upgrade to a newer version of iPhoto to order these products.
    So, I have read a few posts that say I need to buy iLife, but I would never use any of the apps except iPhoto, so I would like to save myself the money of buying things I won't need. I also did a search and it looks like I can download a bunch of updates here: http://support.apple.com/downloads#iphoto
    My question is, can I go update by update on this site without ruining my current iphoto events and projects? I have about 15,00 items in 243 events and I would hate for them all to get ruined.
    Thank you so much for any help! I am desperate and would love my photo book.

    It isn't possible to get a version of iPhoto which is new enough just through the downloadable updaters. You need to either buy an iLife DVD or upgrade the computer to Mavericks and get the Mac App Store version.

    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.

  • Can you share photo books

    Hello!
    I am making a photo book on my macbook as a gift for a client at work and i want to put it on my boss's macbook pro for backup. I tried to email it and drop it in to an email but i cant drag it or open it. Is there any way to move this or share it to another computer? Let me know asap! Thanks
    Stepanie

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Can you connect to your boss's MBP via a LAN? If so you can connect to his Mac and copy the library to designated folder. Otherwise, put the library on a Flash drive and transfer it that way.
    If the library is large you can reduce it to just the photos in the book (and others that you think you might want to use) by following Old Toad's Tutorial 9a - Archiving an iPhoto 7/8 Book for Later Use/Editing. The bottom line is that the entire library has to be transferred so make it as small as possible, i.e cull out the unneeded photos first.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) 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 or later), 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • I had ordered a photo book print two years back. I want to reorder the same book again now. However, I have lost the album project in iphoto. Is there any way to see my print order history and reorder the same book for print ?

    I had ordered a photo book print two years back. I want to reorder the same book again now. However, I have lost the album project/photos from iphoto.
    Is there any way to see my print order history and reorder the same book for print ?

    No.  Apple only keeps the pdf file for a book for 30 days.  Without the library and book project you won't be able to reorder the same book.
    Even though the horse is out of the barn the following tutorial might be of help for future books, i.e. create a new library for each book): iP08 - Archiving an iPhoto Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date

  • I made a photo book in iPhoto and would like to transfer the book to my iPhoto on other macs and iPad.   How is this done and can it be synced between devices like photo stream.

    I made a photo book in iPhoto and would like to transfer the book to my iPhoto on other macs and iPad.   How is this done and can it be synced between devices like photo stream?

    You can create a Quicktime movie slideshow of the book's pages and share that. Here's how to get your book into an iPhoto slideshow and then export as a Quicktime video:
    1 - While viewing the book type Command+P to start the print process.
    2  - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
    Note:  If you don't have any of those options go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
    Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
    Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
    Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
    3 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered).
    4 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
    That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto. Immediately select all of the photos in the new album and sequentially renumber them as "Page  " using the Batch Change ➙ Title to Text with the option to add a sequential number to each title.  This is to let you put the pages back in the correct order in the event they get sorted incorrectly.
    Now you can proceed as follows: create the slideshow in iPhoto and export it out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  Select Size = Medium or Large (480p with iPhoto 9),

  • Photo Books and Sharpening

    I'm unsure about how to approach sharpening of individual photos for my photo books. Here's the workflow I follow to print books at Shared Ink:
    Import RAW images into Lightroom 2.
    Color Correct/Sharpen images within the Develop Module
    Export RAW images as Tiffs at max res and import into an InDesign template created by me. Inside of InDesign I resize photos to the desired size.
    Create a PDF of the book and then convert PDFs to JPGS to be uploaded to Shared Ink. (They only accept JPGS from a program like InDesign.)
    Here are my questions:
    In step 3, when I export RAW images as Tiffs to place into InDesgin, what sort of Export Sharpening should I be using? LR has matte and Glossy, and then 3 strengths of sharpening. I generally print on matte paper so I know I could use matte.
    When I finally decide on the size of my images within InDesign, do I need to re-export each image from Lightroom at the correct size? I normally include 100s of images in my books and it would take quite a while to do this.
    Thanks, any advice is much appreciated!

    kpdesigns492 wrote:
    When I export from LR2 and apply sharpening, do you recommend exporting at the full size and then sizing down in InDesign? Or would you recommend saving each image at the correct size from LR2 at the outset?
    For the test, I would do a page or two each way.  I think you will find that you can't tell a material difference and thus you can quit thinking about how time consuming it would be (and it would be horrendous in my opinion).  So maybe your test is on 12x12 pages with a background image and three small images on top, one greater than original, one at original and one smaller than original.  Then make a separate page for the following samples:
    1.     Export the 4 images from LR with no output sharpening at original size.
    2.     Export the 4 images from LR with Matt, Standard output sharpening at original  size.
    3.     Export the 4 images from LR with Matt, Low output  sharpening at original  size.
    4.     Export the 4 images from LR with no output sharpening at approximately the sizes for the sample page (then use them at exactly the exported size).
    5.     Export the 4 images from LR with Matt,  Standard output sharpening at approximately the sizes for the sample page (then use them at exactly  the exported size).
    6.     Export the 4 images from LR with Matt, Low output  sharpening at approximately the sizes for the sample page (then use them at exactly  the exported size).
    This should give you a good idea as to whether output sharpening has a material impact on books printed from SharedInk.  It may not be a good test for other printing but that's OK.  The idea is to find out what is best for this particular book process for YOU.
    Keep me posted.

  • Making a photo book from multiple albums

    Hello.
    I recently returned from week long trip and have created photo albums for each individual day (9 albums)
    I now want to bring them all into 1 photo book but cannot seem to figure out how to do it. Do I have to just copy everything into one huge album?
    Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

    In case you might want to order a second copy of the book at a later date the following tutorial describes a way to archive the library containing just the photos in the book for easy retrieval: Old Toad's Tutorial #9a - Archiving an iPhoto 7/8 Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date. With this method you don't need to worry about losing the book due to removing photos from the library, deleting the book in the library, etc. I do it for every book I create and order.

  • Constant crashing while trying to assemble photo book!

    I've used iPhoto for a long time without a hitch. But my first time trying to create a photo book ended in a crash, when I was nearly finished arranging the photos. Then it happened again, when I was nearly finished. Now it's just crashing immediately after I try to move one picture. This is iPhoto 5.0.4, by the way.
    I want to make a book!! I tried trashing the preferences and am at a loss as what to do. I'm up-to-date system-wise. I haven't had anything crash in ages, so this threw me. It sounds like others have experienced crashes at various points too. Ideas on what to try?

    Patricia:
    You may have to do some general system maintenance and do a rebuilt on the iPhoto library. I suggest your run OnyX and clean out all of the User caches. Also run the cron maintenance routines with OnyX. Then do a repair of permissions with Disk Utility and manually set the ownership and permissions on the iPhoto Library folder as follows.
    Setting Permissions for iPhoto Library Folder
    1 - Select the iPhoto Library folder and type Command-I.
    2 - When the Info window comes up go to the Ownership and Permissions section and make sure You have Read & Write permission and that the Owner and Group have Read & Write also. Others - Read Only.
    3 - Then click on the "Apply to enclosed items..." button.
    If that doesn't help rebuild the library by launching iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. I'd select the first three options.

  • How to restore my deleted photo book?

    Accidentally deleted my photo book under Keepsakes but there is no UNDO!
    I can try using time machine but is there a faster easier way to get just the photo book I accidentally deleted. There was no UNDO key and there was nothing in the trash that looked like a photo book. Is there a place where that data is stored so I can restore it easily. Why is there no UNDO for that?
    Thanks for any help.

    One way to recover some real estate on your boot drive is to use Monolingual to remove all of the unneeded language modules. Just do not remove English or American English. Also do not use any of the other features of Monolingual. I saved nearly 1 GB of space on my MBP the first time I ran it.
    You can't restore to an external HD. You could copy your current library to the external, make sure it's operating, delete it from the boot drive, enter TM and restore the library to the boot drive. When you've finished with the book, follow the directions in Old Toad's Tutorial #9 - Archiving an iPhoto 6/7 Book for Ordering Copies at a Later Date or #9a - Archiving an iPhoto 7/8 Book for Use/Editing at a Later Date so you can cull down the library so it will fit on a DVD/CD for archiving. Then delete the library from the boot drive and move your working library back to the boot drive.

  • A simple way to apply crop from photo book frame to image version?

    Hi
    Running MacOS X 10.8.5, Aperture 3.4.4
    I have the following workflow for photobooks creation (a custom photobook):
    0) Prepare an album with photos I'd like to create my book from.
    For 99% of my photos I have TIFF files as masters. Not RAW files.
    I use managed library.
    1) Create a book layout (place images, select different crop factors for frames, etc)
    2) Looking at specific page adjust photos using Aperture adjustments (exposure, color balance) to make images to looks similar on the page
    3) A the final step, apply some adjustments from external plugins.
    Here I have the question from subject:
    * The Aperture  sends the whole file to plugin (i.e. some of Nik collection plugins, but it might be a different plugin)
    * But on my photo book page I have a different crop factor (i.e. TIFF master is 2:3, on photo book page I frame it to 1:2)
    * As the result some of the adjustments I did in external plugin are not visible on the photobook page, which produces a different visual effect, which I don't want.
    Currently, to workaround this, I have to manually apply the same crop factor to image version, then make a version copy, open the plugin. Only after these steps Aperture will send the desired crop factor to external plugin.
    This is some sort of technical work which I need to do manually, no brain is involved here - I'm looking to some ways how to automate this.
    As the result, I'd like the crop factor from photo frame from Aperture custom book to be applied to image version.
    Any ideas on scripts/external programs are welcome.
    Thank you!

  • Right in the middle of the process of creating a hardcover photo book, a message came up, telling me: This theme is no longer available in iPhoto. Please choose: Delete book / Cancel / Change Theme. No matter what I select. What`s the problem???

    No matter what option I select- iPhoto either crashes or the beachball starts spinning. Either way, I can`t access the photo book anymore.
    Is there anything I can do?
    The selected theme is definitely still available in iPhoto, so this can`t be the real problem...
    I have been sitting on the book work for days...
    Thanks for any help!

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    If that doesn't help   launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it does then a reinstall of iPhoto is warrented.
    If the problem does not appear in the test library then your current library is damaged.  In that case make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) 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 #1, followed by #3 and then #4.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    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
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    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 but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Incorrect Photo Book

    I recently created and purchased a photo book through iPhoto as a christmas present for a close family member. While working on the book, I had to crop some of the pictures, including some with the recipiant in them, numerous times so that they would look the way they are supposed to. When I transfered the book to purchase it, everything looked perfect. When I received the book those pictures that needed to be cropped and re-cropped, were cropped incorrectly in the finished book. Also, some of the text is on the wrong page. Considering this is intended to be a present, I cannot give the book to the recipient if it is not correct.
    My question is, what are my options now. Am I able to reprint the book at no cost, or will it cost me another $80 dollars to try to get one printed properly?

    Kerry:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You will need to contact Apple at http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto/customerservice/orderbooks/. You should get a refund. As for reprinting you'll have to resubmit the book. Here's what you can do to check the book before you send it on up to Apple. iPhoto creates a pdf file for uploading and printing. You can find and copy it and check it out for completeness and errors before completing the order.
    How to Find the iPhoto Generated PDF File:
    1 - Start the ordering process and stop after the book has been assembled and you get to the Order pane where you select the cover color, copies, etc.
    2 - Go to the Finder and select the Go->Go to Folder menu item (CommandShiftG).
    3 - copy the following, “/private/var/tmp/folders.501/TemporaryItems/iPhoto” (for Panther the path is ‘/private/tmp/501/TemporaryItems/iPhoto “), and paste into the Go to Folder search box.
    4 - the iPhoto folder will be brought up. In it will be the PDF file that was generated by iPhoto. You can copy it (Option-drag) to the Desktop to review and/or save.
    Note: the iPhoto folder will not exist before you start the ordering process and is deleted after the order is completed or after you cancel the order and quit iPhoto.
    Hope this has been of some help. Good luck.

  • Can I print the photo book with any fonts?

    I would like to print a photo book using iphoto. Is it possible to print this by using any fonts?

    Don't get up your hopes, Old Toad . I never tried to buy a photo book from the iPad.
    The documentation does not say much:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5037
    It only mentions, that you can change the font size:
    Edit text on a page
    Tap Projects, and tap the photo book to open it.
    Double-tap the page containing the text you want to work with.
    Do the following:
    Align the text: Tap the text box, and choose an alignment style from the menu that appears directly above the text box.
    Choose the font size: Tap the text box, and tap the font size you want.
    Make changes to the text: Double-tap the text box, and type.
    No mention of the supported font. Probably the fonts will depend on the country of the Print Products Store you are using:
    To change countries, tap at the top-left corner of the screen, and select another country from the list.
