How can I see the photo quality settings in iLife'06 books

I assembled a 100 page book using iLife'05 over the last week or so. Luckily I hadn't ordered the book before learning about the new "improved print quality" when using iLife'06.
Well, iLife'06 finally arrived today and I installed it and... Well, do I need to scrap my old book or can I just go ahead and order through iLife'06 and get that new great quality?
While still running iLife'05 I printed my book to a PDF file and the file size for the PDF is 150.4MB.
I then installed iLife'06 and printed the same book to another PDF file and the size of the file was ONLY 57.4MB. Almost a third the size. If anything I was expecting the PDF file to be much larger (double?).
I even did a side by side comparison of the two PDF files using Preview and I've got to say that the '05 version was better than the '06. This makes sense since the file size is much larger in the '05 I would expect the image quality to be better.
So, now I'm worried. How can I see what the settings are and how can I tell what I'll get when I'm going to order a book?
Thanks!

Chuck:
The Print to PDF file is not exactly the same as the one iPhoto creates for uploading and printing. Here's how to get the iPhoto version. It involves going thru the ordering process until the book is assembled and then finding and copying the pdf file to the desktop and then canceling the ordering process.
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.

  • How can I see the MAD results in my planning book

    Hello Gurus:
    I'm setting up some statistical models in APO DP and running some test data through them.  How can I see the results of the MAD to verify if the models are calculating correctly?  I was hoping I can see the monthly MAD values in a key figure in my planning book?
    Does anyone know?
    Andrea

    Hello Andrea,
    As far as I know, I don't think there's a standard key figure or macro could acheive this.
    MAD or other errors in forecast are not saved as time series, so I don't know why you want to see them as time series.
    You can see the forecast errors in forecast result screen, and if you push comparision button, you can see forecast errors for several last runs.
    But I don't know how to put these value into planning book, unless you want to apply your own logic ...
    Best Regards,

  • How can I see the photos stored on my icloud

    Please forgive my near-total ignorance. I searched different forums for a while and could not find a straightforward answer.
    I have an Ipad 2. My photos get uploaded to the iCloud. Great. iCloud gets full. Ipad settings show that my photos take up 4 out of 5 gb of storage
    on iCloud.
    I would like to see WHICH photos are on my iCloud.
    How do I access iCloud - either via Ipad or PC?
    I tried the www interface (www.icloud.com) - photos are not available for viewing there.
    I tried iCloud Photo Stream for Window Vista - no luck either, as it only showed ca. 6 photos from my Photo Stream, nothing else.
    How can I see what is in my iCloud???

    Photo stream photos don't use any of your iCloud storage.  The storage for these is provided by Apple free of charge.  You can see what photos are in your photo stream by opening the Photos app on your iPad, tap Abums at the bottom, then tap My Photo Stream.  These are not viewable on icloud.com.
    The only photos that use your iCloud storage are photos in your camera roll, which are included in your iCloud backup by default, assuming you are backing your iPad up to iCloud.

  • How can I see the photos in my wife's iPhoto library from my profile

    As she is the photographer we have imported all the photos to her library, but I would still like access from time to time.

    For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
    (You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

    After burning a successful DVD in iDVD out of FCPX, how can I see the settings it used?
    So I finally burned a DVD out of a Apple Pro Res file into iDVD in PAL format. My question now is how can I find out what the exact burn properties were so that I can apply the same burn properties to a project in Compressor 4?
    Is it possible to see what iDVD did?

    I don't know any way you can interrogate iDVD to reveal settings to the extent that you can in a Compressor project. What you could do is open up the show's VOB in MPEG STreamclip, go to File and Reveal Stream Information; that will at least give you some rudimentary info like average bit rate. Perhaps someone, with more iDVD experience, can chime in here.
    The broader question is why use Compressor at all if your current workflow is doing the job to your satisfaction?
    The value of Compressor is that it gives you control over the many parameters that affect size quality.  and playability. The Compressor presets can give you a starting point for DVD delivery, Web, etc. From those presets, people typically experiment by adjusting the parameters until they get the desired results for their specific show. It's a little bit science and a little bit art. After experimenting, you may be able to get slightly better quality for the project you've successfully burned in iDVD by using Compressor and something likeToast…or maybe not.
    Good luck.

  • How can I retain the original quality of a photo when sending it by email.At the moment if I drag them in to the email from iphoto the image quality reduces.

    When I add photos to an email by dragging them in from iphoto the quality of the photos reduce.
    How can I retain the original quality.
    Philip

    When I add photos to an email by dragging them in from iphoto the quality of the photos reduce.
    Philip, dragging from iPhoto will export previews of the image, not the original high resolution image. To export higher quality versions from iPhoto don't drag, but use "File > Export"
    You can also mail your photo directly from within iPhoto using "Share > Email" and set the "Size" to "Actual Size (Full Quality)"

  • Photos in album are only a hash-marked outline the image only shows when scrolling how can I see the image and open the photo?

    Photos in iPhoto album are only a hash-marked outline the image only shows when scrolling how can I see the image and open the photo?

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library 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.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    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.

  • How can I use the photos from iphoto to display in contacts?

    Contacts has a space for a photo.  At one time I knew how to populate this space with photos from iPhoto. Currently my choices are to use an icon or take a pic with the camera.
    How can I add the photos from iPhoto to the choices for populating the "Contacts" image space for individual cards?

    go to settings > general > usage > music app under the storage section > slide across the bar that says 'photo library' and a red delete button will appear
    you can also plug the device into your computer with itunes, go to the photos tab at the top center and uncheck where it says 'sync photos.' then press 'apply' in the bottom right corner. this will erase the photos that were synced to your phone from the computer
