How do I eliminate the black created when I use fit to page in a iPhoto Book?

How do I eliminate the black around picture I place with fit to page?

The area around the photo will be the background color selected for the page.  The only option is to change the background color of the page to one that  would be acceptable (if its a full page layout).
Another option is to crop the photo to the same size ratio as the frame and not use the fit photo to frame feature.  That's 4:3 for most frames and 1:1.29 for full page 8.5 x 11 book pages.

  • How do I adjust the depth of a text box on a page in an iPhoto book?

    How do I adjust the depth of a text box on a page in an iPhoto book?

    You can't.  Those are fixed.  You can create a custom page in Pages where you can duplicate the background add photos with frames, any size of text box and text.  Make sure page size is the same as you've selected for the book. 
    Then do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto of that page.  That till create a 200 dpi jpeg file of that page that you can use on a blank page with an image for the background layout. This is a rough example:
    Custom book cover
    Click to view full size
    Custom text page (left)
    Click to view full size

  • How do I eliminate the black blotches associated with version sets.

    I have just had to reload Elements 6.  Now I find that a lot of my people images carry version sets and show large black blotches usualy around the eye area.  Could someone tell me how to avoid and eliminate them. It can be achoieved by deleting some of the sets but I would like to know why theu have suddenlt apperaer after a reload and how to avoid the in the future.
    thanks

    Go back and check the preferences again. It may be (not sure) that you need to turn it off in the downloader first, then in the main preferences, but it should be sticky once you get it all disabled.
    On newly imported photos, you can fix things by just selecting the whole batch then going to Edit>Version set>Revert to original to get rid of the version with the black spots.

  • How do I eliminate the thumbnail picture when sending email?

    When I am compsing an email there is a small thumbnail pictue of me in the upper right hand corner. How can I eliminate it??
    Also when sending emails they show as coming from me, but when my wife replys to an email they show as coming from her. I would like to have her emails identified with her and mine from me. Can I do that with one account???

    I finally got it, but I had a difficult time figuring out how to remove it from my contact file.
    Concerning email addresses, if I set up a separate email address for my wife will all incoming emails for both addresses automatically download to my Mac and iPad???
    Thanks

  • How do I remove the black background when displaying photos in iphoto 8

    After upgrading to iphoto 8 my photos now sit on a black background when viewed from album, library or events. I have changed the slider from black to white in Preferences/Appearance but it only changes the display background for when the thumbnails are shown. The moment I click on a photo it displays at full size with an annoying black background. In previous versions it displays with a grey or white background.
    Can anyone help with some advice before I reinstall iphot0 6. Thanks

    wordleader:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. For the background in albums and in the Photos window use the Background slider in iPhoto's Appearance preference pane. In the Events window where you see the square events you can't change the background color.
    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. 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.

  • Spry slideshow - how can i remove the title code when i use the widget??

    When I insert the slideshow widget, there is code for a title. I don't need this and don't want to have to remove the code each time I use the widget.
    Where can I change this permanently?
    <ul id="ImageSlideShow" title="Bookcase03091-1">
                    <li><a href="/aphoto1/mar9/bookcase-1a.jpg" title="White Orchids">
    I want to remove title information. I looked through all the JS pages and couldn't find the place to do this. Othewise the slideshow works great. I am using Dreamweaver CS5.
    Thanks for helping me!

    Gramps thanks for getting back to me. I went to the Widget Browser, opened the slideshow with film strip and clicked on configure.
    I Disabled the sliding titles and made the main title blank. Then I saved the preset.
    Unfortunately it didn't work. I tried three times. The sliding titles still appear.
    Please try it and see if you can get it to work- thank you!

  • How can I eliminate the "new tab" when I open Firefox to my preset Home Page?

    I have Firefox installed on a desktop and a netbook. On the desktop, when I launch Firefox it takes me to my homepage, and that is the only tab open. On the netbook, it opens to the homepage correctly, but there is also a second, blank tab, carrying the header "New Tab", just as though I had clicked on the "New Tab" icon in the toolbar. Since my homepage is a specialized search engine which opens each result in a new tab of its own, having the blank one already in place is annoying. How do I stop it from opening on launch?

    Make sure that there isn't a pipe symbol appended to the home page setting.

  • How can I change the startup language when I use the internet?

    I have the macbook pro that i have just bought in Russia. The reason I bought it here is because I wanted to have both the English and Russian letters on the keyboard. Apart from that I don't care much for the Russian system, since I have always used an American version mac.
    Anyway, on to the question. I have English and Russian setup as my two input languages on the computer. I know how to switch between them, and everything is fine. But, I have come across a problem that I never encountered before as all my macs have been purchased in America before this one. Every time I open a new internet window, tab, new program such as skype, it is always the Russian language that is selected, even if I have been using the American keyboard prior to that. It starts getting frustrating, especially when I get used to to typing something, and then without looking continue to type in a different page and look up to see a bunch of Russian letters making no sense.
    I hope there is a solution to that, and I won't just have to get annoyed with this for the rest of my relationship with my new macbook pro!

  • How to get the user created when I prepare for the BD Identity Manager

    Hi I have a query, I need to get a backup database Identity Manager 9.1, I have a problem I do not remember user created to perform the backup, how can you know that I created when I made the installation of Identity Manager, or how can I find

    Hi,
    You can do this trick:
    1) Go to "Deployment Manager" in the Web Console, and open the EXPORT applet
    2) Export the User Defined Fields from the USR form. You don't need any dependence for this.
    3) Open the generated XML with a text editor.
    3) Search for the <SDK_SCHEMA> tag
    This tag contains the OIM schema name, wich shoud be your OIM database user.
    Hope it helps,

  • How do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3?  i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow.  i see how you do it when you just play a slideshow.

    how do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3?  i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow.  i see how you do it with presets when you just play a slideshow, but i don't see an option to randomly shuffle the slide order when you create a new slideshow.  i know you can sort it by different fields, but i want it to be random.  thanks.

    If you want to rearrange images in random order you can try an AppleScript:
    retrieve a list of selected images from Aperture
    shuffe the list properly
    create an album in Aperture and add the images from the list to the album (make sure that the album set to be orederd manually)
    Here  is a sample script that shuffles the selected images and displays them in random order in Full Screen Mode:
    on removeItem(ims, i)
      -- remove the item at position "i" from a list ims
              if ims is {} then return {}
              if (length of ims is 1) then return {}
              if i < 2 then return rest of ims
              if (i = length of ims) then return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims)
              if i > (length of ims) then return ims -- should be error?
              return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims) & (items (i + 1) thru (length of ims) of ims)
    end removeItem
    on shuffle_items(ims)
      -- shuffle the items of the list "ims" randomly
              local numitems, ims_shuffled, nextrest, nextpick, i
              set numitems to length of ims
              if length of ims < 2 then return ims
              set ims_shuffled to {}
              set nextrest to ims
              repeat until nextrest is {}
                        set i to (random number (numitems - 1)) + 1
                        set nextpick to item i of nextrest
                        set beginning of ims_shuffled to nextpick
                        set numitems to numitems - 1
                        set nextrest to removeItem(nextrest, i)
              end repeat
              return ims_shuffled
    end shuffle_items
    on shuffleIms()
      -- retrieve the selected images from Aperture
      -- and display them in random order in full screen mode
              local imageSel, shuffled, i
              tell application "Aperture"
      activate
                        set imageSel to (get selection)
                        set shuffled to my shuffle_items(imageSel)
                        set fullscreen to true
                        if imageSel is {} then error "Please select some images."
                        repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                                  reveal {item i of shuffled}
      delay 3 -- chnage that to the time you want
                        end repeat
                        set fullscreen to false
                        return shuffled
              end tell
    end shuffleIms
    shuffleIms()
    Some more code snippets to go from here:
    To create an album:
                        tell library 1
                                  if not (exists album "shuffledAlbum") then
      make new album with properties {name:"shuffledAlbum", image version:shuffled}
                                  end if
                        end tell
    And to add the images from the shuffled list to the album:
                        repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                                  duplicate item i of shuffled to album "shuffledAlbum"
                        end repeat

    how do i eliminate talking tom cat when it wont download the 20mb.  It sits waiting for WiFi and my Pc to hook up. No wifi hook up at home

    So you started downloading it and it won't finish? Hold the home (circle) and lock (top of phone) buttons at the same time untill a power off slider comes up. Turn off your phone and when you turn it back on it will ask you for your password to restart the download. Click cancel and it should cancel the download.

  • How do i get the black screen to go back on when im on a call to stop me cutting them on? x

    When i am on a call, my iphone 4 used to black when i put my ear to the phone, this mechanism was to stop you touching buttons on your touch screen key pad, however mine no longer does this and i keep cutting people off on the touch screen how do i get the black screen back on when im on a call? x

    I'm not sure what you are referring about.
    Do you mean the orange Firefox menu button?
    In current Firefox releases (29 and later) the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three-bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar and this button is always visible whether the Menu Bar is visible or hidden.
    You can no longer hide the Navigation Toolbar.
    *There is a star like button next to the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show your bookmarks" button next to it to open the Bookmarks in a drop down menu.
    *You can find "Show All Bookmarks" to open the Bookmarks Manager (Library) at near the top of the drop-down list.
    *If you bookmark a page then "Bookmark This Page" in the Bookmarks menu as well as the tooltip of the star changes to "Edit This Bookmark".
    *You can toggle the title bar on/off via the "Title Bar" button at the bottom left in the Customize palette window.
    You can still have the Menu Bar visible via the right-click context menu of a toolbar to have menus like the File menu with Print (Ctrl+P) and Print Preview and the Bookmarks and History and Tools menus.

  • How to eliminate the "Ping" sound when starting and stopping videoing

    How to eliminate the "ping" sound when starting and stopping a video on iPhone.  Thanks.

    I asked my friends on Facebook and one came up with the answer... I just had to flip the little "ring-silent switch" on the side of the iPhone to cut the "Pinging" sound!  There's probably another way but this works!
