Fonts for photo albums - iphoto 09

I'm using ilife 09 to make a hardcover photo book. I want to use the Hiragino Minco Pro font that was available in the previous version of iphoto on the cover, flaps and intro page. It didn't show up in settings menu so I copied and pasted it from a previous photo book onto these pages in the new book. It looks fine on the page and the font shows up in settings menu. But there is an exclamation point in red triangle in the subhead on cover it says type doesn't fit. The settings tool won't let me change the size, and actually won't let me change the font (I chose 6 pt and it still says it won't fit).
Question: Because I copied and pasted it will it actually show up correctly when book is printed at Apple? Since the font doesn't change on the page when I change it in the settings tool, it seems like something isn't connecting correctly.
Question: What does the W3 and W4 mean next to the font name in Settings. I only see it next to the Hiragino Minco Pro (where as Helvetica has choices of Regular, ital, etc.)
Question: Now that ilife 11 is out, will I be able to publish this new book without having to upgrade? If so, I might have more font problems if Apple discontinues some of the 09 fonts.
Thanks!

The triangle indicates that there is some overflow of text in the text box. Does all the text appear in the text box? If it does then maybe there's a return or some spaces that are causing the overflow.
If you can't reduce the size so that the text fits the order will probably be cancelled. You can and should check the book before ordering by right-clicking on the background of the All Pages view and select Preview Book:
Click to view full size
Then save the preview as a PDF file. This will give you the same PDF file that is sent to Apple for printing. If the text displays correctly there then it will print.
If you are unable to get the font to fit you may have to resort to creating a custom page. That will require, however, using an image editor that can handle 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
Pages from the iWork suite of applications can be used also.
and following the instructions in this tutorial: Old Toad's Tutorial #19 - Creating a Custom Page, with the Theme's Background for an iPhoto Book.

I am looking for software to store photos with. I am not a fancy photographer, and really am just looking for the digital version of a photo album. iPhoto is not cutting it, mainly because it does not back up and restore easily on an external HD.

I am looking for software to store photos with. I am not a fancy photographer, and really am just looking for the digital version of a photo album. iPhoto is not cutting it, mainly because it does not back up and restore easily on an external HD.

That's how Time Machine and iPhoto now work. Restore the library to one of the external HDs, check it for the photos you want, export them to the boot drive and delete the restored library.
If you know the file name of the photo you're looking for you can search for them in the TM backup using Find Any File.
My workflow allows me to do that:
1 - upload new photos to a folder on the Desktop.
2 - name the folder to represent the contents and date: 01/03/10-Toads Bday
3 - use a file renaming app to sequentially rename the photos in the folder to: 2010-01-03-Toads Bday-001.JPG, -002,JPG, -003.JPG, etc.
4 - import the folder into iPhoto creating an Event with the same title as the folder.
Now I can search for those file by file name with any app of my choosing.

Font for photo info does not work on this MAC

We are running a new MAC (OS 10.6.2, 2.66 GHz Quad) with Lightroom 2.6. When I try to add photo data to a contact print, I see a series of boxes with AAAs. I got the same result with the Identy Plate when I changed the font. I changed to another font and it was fine. This leads me to believe the default font for photo info is not supported on this machine. We really need to use the photo info feature. Is there a way to either
1. Change the font to one that is supported on this machine
2. Add the default font to this machine

Considering the hundreds of thousands of Windows apps available, I doubt you're going to find such a list.
Is there a comprehensive list posted somewhere that show which PC software has compatibity issues?
Well since Windows software does not run on Mac OS, every application is going to have compatibility issues.
You'll either have to buy the Mac version (if available) of the software you want to use, or install Windows on the Mac.

How to create folders for photo albums

How to create folders for photo albums?

More detail please? Are you talking about photos synced to the Photos app in the iPad, or photos taken by the iPad camera, emailed to it or added by a camera kit? Have you checked the User Guide for this - availble through the IPad Manuals link at the very start of this forum?

In IOS7.1.2 how can I change the size of type for Photo Album?

I want to change the size of the type of a name of a Photo Album to match the size of earlier albums. How can I do this?

I am not sure, if this Will work on the title page:
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.
You may need to change the Book Theme to have a different title font size.

Create Template for Photo Album Pages

I'm starting a project that involves creating a Web photo
album. However, there are special formatting rules I need to
institute for the individual pages I create in the photo album. Is
it possible to create a template for these pages (the pages you go
to when you click on the thumbnail on the contact sheet) rather
than going in and applying css files and other items after they've
been created?
Any help is much appreciated.

ITunes 'Match' like for photos an iPhoto on the cloud and Preview

iTunes ‘Match’ like for photos. 250.000 photos ($250 1 year).
It's all I need… 250.000 thumbnails on my iPad and the original on the iClod… like iTunes Match. Thanks.
I have icloud 55 GB. Preview on Mac accept my photos, but if my Mac got stolen I lose my photos on iCloud too? Preview keep the original on the 'invisible' Library, so, make noo sense, I need the local storage.
Photo Strream downgrade the resolution and it's limited in many ways. I hate Dropbox, Picasa e cia. I need an Apple service.

Hello David,
It sounds like you have an Aperture album that you are trying to transfer to the album section of the Photos app on your iPad. I recommend following these steps to sync the Aperture album over to your iPad:
To sync photos from a Mac or Windows PC to your device using photo applications
Select "Sync Photos from."
Choose the application you want to sync photos from in the pop up menu.
Choose to sync all photos or selected photos. Select "Include videos" to sync videos stored with your photo library.
Click Apply.

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

does anyone have idea how to do so? thanks.

iWeb does'nt support hyperlinking the album image in the gird. You could put a text base hyperlink in the page above or next to the album photo (outside of the album grid) that links to the page in question.

please help.
Thanks in advance
Basu

Hi Basu,
Try accessing the image thru Webdav URL.
e.g: If you have uploaded xyz.jpg image file under document folder then the webdav url will be,
http://<Portal URL>/irj/go/km/docs/documents/xyz.jpg
If you are able to access it and if Image is loading properly then add below path to your KM iView,
iView Property - Path to Document: /documents/xyz.jpg
Thanks.

Best workflow for Photo Album site - Aperture-iPhoto-iWeb??

*_I posted this on iWeb board, but perhaps this is a more appropriate audience*._
I am trying to find the best way to get Pics online. I shoot RAW and post-process in Aperture. Have used:
Aperture web gallery - easy workflow, very poor user interface, good image resolution
iphoto - extra work to get from Aperture library, nice design but very very slow loading of pics!!, not happy with image resolution
iweb - nice interface, fast, but not happy with image resolution.
My goal is a nice user interface for viewing pics in albums, fast, but with GOOD image quality. Is there a way to adjust image resolution in iWEB? Seems like the default is Preview image quality, despite using full resolution JPEG exported from Aperture. It is somewhat disappointing to work so hard in Aperture on adjustments, but then view low res images on website.
Any Suggestions?

When you say "low res images on website" do you mean those created by Aperture? It is possible to duplicate one of the default web gallery formats in Aperture, and then modify it so that the photos output are larger e.g. 950pixels wide instead of 800. I've done that with the Stock Black format - I now have a Stock Black Large which is similar on the thumbnails screen, but much larger when people click through to the larger image.
I think to do it you have to find the folder containing the web presets and make a copy of one of them.
Its fiddly but possible to do. Hopefully they'll improve this in a future release

ITunes backup for photos vs. iPhoto

When backing up photos from my iPhone, will iTunes automatically do this, or should I just transfer them to iPhoto?
Cheers!

Hi flag8r77,
I would always import them to iPhoto. There you can organize, edit and set locations/faces more easily. The Albums you create you can then sync back on your iPhone for better overview. Further more your iTunes backup will only store the current state of images. in iPhoto you can store them far back.
Hope this helped

How can I combine orders for photo albums, to save on the delivery charge?

I want to buy 3 different albums I created in iPhoto
However, the programme wants me to buy each individually, and charges for delivery each time.
How can I combine the orders?

You can't.

WHERE is Metadata stored for photos in iPhoto?

I need to find out WHERE all the information I have entered for various photos in my 3000+ photo collection is physically stored.
So, when I bring up a photo, from within iPhoto, and enter a Title, date, time, Comments, etc. WHERE does iPhoto actually put that information? More importantly, I need to BACK-UP that data, so need to know where it's stored to do that.
I just moved a folder within the iPhoto Library folder ( A B-I-G 'No-No' obviousely! ) and BOOM... all my photos were GONE, along with MONTHS worth of time it took me to organize, label and notate information on every single photo in my library - most were scanned in from those boxes of photos we all have under our beds, etc. and they contained only the date I brought them into iPhoto. Since I have photos going back to the mid-eighteen hundreds, dates in 2003 or 2005 don't quite hack it! Now I'm starting from scratch to do it all again, and want to make SURE I am able to back-up that data this time.
Thansk...

Vic:
For future reference there are a couple of Applescripts for copying the EXIF information from iPhoto to a file and/or back to iPhoto - http://scriptbuilders.net/files/iphotoiptckeywordimportexportutilities1.0.html.
iPhoto does not do a great job in keeping metadata/EXIF info tied to the files except within iPhoto itself and, as you've experienced, that can be fragile. Image management applications like iView MediaPro write nearly all annotations directly back to the file itself.

Price List for Photo Album

Where can I fond a price list for the iPhoto "Books" that can be ordered and printed from Apple?

Click on the Theme button in a book and in the theme selection window that comes up will be another button to take you to the Apple site for book options and prices.
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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

HT4221 Is it a concern that a software company such as Apple wouldn't automatically support multiple sort keys for photo albums (such as filename, last modified, date taken, etc.)?!

Other than 3rd party apps, has anyone found a work-around for Apple's goofy album sort order limitation?

That's a comment in the file. It has no effect at all.
