How can I change get a 2xportrait page layout in iPhoto 11?

I am laying out a new wedding photo album in iPhoto 11 (version 9.2.3) using the Formal hardcover theme. A new album appears with a number of pre-set layouts: one of which has two portrait photos side by side.
There are two pre-set pages with this layout but I want more like this as I have a lot of full length photos from the shoot. However, this layout does not appear in the 2-photo layouts that are offered when I try to change the layout of a particular page. The closest is two landscape photos.
If I drag a portrait photo into one of these, it gets cropped.
Is there a way that I get a two-portrait side by side layout? If not, then can somebody recommend an alternaive to iPhoto for producing high quality printed photo albums?

That theme will only offer landscape for 2 photos per page layouts.
1 - click on the Layout button at the bottom while viewing the page you want to change:
In the Layout tray at the right you can select any number of photos per page and layouts for those photos:
If I drag a portrait photo into one of these, it gets cropped.
Some themes allow you to Control-click on the photo and select "Fit Photo to Frame Size":
but the Formal theme is not one of them.
The Modern Lines theme gives you two portrait per page with a variety of frames under Options and Fit to Frame Size:
With a gray backgroud you get this:
HOWEVER, if you have an image editor that supports layers or Pages (part of the iWork suite of apps) you can create a custom page for the Formal theme with the two portraits side by side.  This tutorial describes how: iP11 - Creating a Custom Page, with the Theme's Background for an iPhoto Book

  • How can I change the number of pages in a spread?

    I imported a document that our PR department used to create in Quark into InDesign 5.5. They have it set up in four-page spreads. However, the document has always been printed with a coil binding with a large graphic on each left-hand page and text on the right page. I would like to convert to using two-page spreads. However, none of the places the InDesign help leads me give any indication of changing the number of pages per spread.
    My problem may be related to having imported from Quark, but if there's an easy way to change this, I'd appreciate hearing about it. Thanks!
    -Brian

    In the pages panel select the spreads then right-click and check Allow Selected Spreads to Shuffle and also Allow Documrnt pages to shuffle. If asked if you want to maintain the current page arrangement say no.

  • How can I Change the On Screen Keyboard Layout?

    Hi everybody...
    I've searched on the support and I didn't find anything on that.
    I Don't know if it's something on the initial Start of my Palm TX, i don't remember!
    Right now my on-screen keyboard have a AZERTY layout, the french on... I've setted the language in french, but I want to have the QWERTY layout like US and Canadian.
    How can i do that??? with a hard reset to restart the initial setup??
    BTW I don't mind if I must have my device en English, but I want a QWERTY keyboard!!! hehe
    Thanks A LOT!!!!
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    Believe you will have to change to English to get qwerty. Alternatively, you might want to take a look at pruss' MyKbd, which you can rearrange to your heart's content.

  • How can I change the size of a card in iphoto?

    I created a card using iPhoto. The default size is too small. How can I make it bigger. Thanks

    Do you want to order the card from Apple? Then you cannot enlarge it, see  Apple Photo Services: Product line details for books, cards, and calendars
    Flat cards 4 x 6 in., Folded Card and Letterpress cards: 5 x 7 in.
    If you want to print it on your own printer, you can change the papersize and scale in the Print settings.

  • How can I change the shape of a photo in iPhoto?

    Can I change the shape of a picture to an oval?

    No. You'd need an external editor for that kind of stuff:
    In order of price here are some suggestions:
    Seashore (free)
    The Gimp (free)
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    Pixelmator ($50 approx)
    Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
    There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    Of course, you may not want to change the shape of a photo which would distort it. You may want to print it in an oval shape but undistorted. I'd use a page layout app like Pages for that,

    Afraid not... except that Pages 4 is still in an iWork folder within your Applications folder.  You can use that to get work done.

  • How can I change "get info" on songs purchased through the Cloud?

    Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I have been unable to change any album info on songs that were purchased through the Cloud.  this wasn't always the case. As we know, iTunes sometimes places songs/albums, etc., in the wrong category or genre.  I'm simply trying to place it in the proper or desired catetory or place all songs on one album after iTunes split the album.  But, when I right click on GET INFO, all of my options to make any changes are GREYED out and I can't select anything.  Only the Summary window and the album artwork window are accessible.
    After doing some research I determined that it is indeed only those songs that have the CLOUD icon beside them.  I truly don't understand the CLOUD and how it works enough to even know what I did to change it...or how to change it back! And before the upgrade, that cloud icon didn't exist.  Thoughts? ideas?  Hope this all makes sense.

    Hi,
    I presume you mean songs purchased from iTunes Store.
    It would appear that you have not downloaded the tracks to your computer. Once you have downloaded the tracks you will be able to change info.

  • How can I change the language of Pages from british english to American english, the new pages for mavericks

    I bought my computer on Ecuador, so it is in spanish the physical keybord, but after updating to Mavericks and updating Pages, each time I write something it corrects me to british language, for example if i write down analyze with a z, it would correct me and change the z to an s because of the language, please help.

    Menu > Apple > System Preferences > Language & Text > Language > drag English to the top of the list
    "English" according to Apple is what everyone else would call American English.

  • How can I change the default EXPORT directory for latest iPhoto?

    Perhaps I am missing something, but I have as yet to find a way to set my default EXPORT directory. Since installing Lion and the iPhoto update, whenever I want to export it wants to put the image in 'Pictures', but I want 'Desktop' generally or somewhere else.
    I am all set with library and import location. In fact, Import is smart enough to remember where I import my stuff FROM - namely, the desktop.
    But once I have edited files and want to export them, the default jumps back to Pictures.
    Again, this is NEW and CHANGED behavior with the latest release to coincide with iOS 5 ...
    I just want it to remember my default from export to export ... heck, it even changes within the same session!

    I can certainly confirm the behaviour and have no solution to it.
    That said, in the export dialogue typing command-d will point the export to the desktop.
    Regards
    TD

  • I would like to change the project page layouts, but setup option in Project Superuser are not available. How can I change the selected page layouts?

    Hi
    I updated the page layouts for a project in Project Management. Now I woujld like to change those chosen page layouts, but the setup options for the project are no longer available for me to change. How can I update the original chosen page layouts (for performance management) to different layouts or change the chosen layouts to the default (blank) layouts?
    Thanks

    AppleMan,
    It all began inside the settings of my Sanyo VPC-HD2000A when somehow the selection got switched from 1280 x 720 to that other setting with so-called 25fps. Also, I don't know whether the mishap occurred before or after I took my new footage.
    I edited the clips last night and now they are on my blog and channel and they seem ok but slightly fuzzy.
    I used a Sanyo VPC-HD2000A .7x wide angle lens with macro and I notice that when I zoomed in to the little sun conure, the picture blurred. I think that might be something that happens when one zooms the focus.
    Also, I was born and raised to a teenager in Hawaii, but now Southern California has me in its grip.
