  • Problems with images in ibooks author

    I got a problem about edit images in iBooks author:
    Here is my problem:
    I want to make the image zoom into full screen when it was tapped on the iPad. How should I do this?
    I need your help, please tell me if you got some experience about this. Appreciate it!

    You don't have to do anything special for this. Make your images 1024 x 768. A tap on an image will expand it to full screen.

  • Is there a Paste in Place option for iBooks Author?

    Is there a paste in place option for iBooks Author like there is in Adobe InDesign? Thanks.

    InDesign's PIP means pasting at arbitrary coordinates.
    Not sure what that has to do with iBA, sorry, which isn't strictly canvas based.
    If you just want to clone items....that depends on the object. Best to experiment with your particular content, etc.

  • I created a book cover in Gimp. How do I import it into iBooks Author?

    Probably a simple question, but I'll ask: I created a book cover in Gimp. How do I import it into iBooks Author?

    It can be in portrait orientation or square, but not landscape.

  • I know it is possible as E O Wilson's - Life  On Earth displays it, but how do you place images across multiple pages in iBook Author?

    I have a large image that I would like to span across 2 or possibly more pages in iBook Author. I know that it is possible as you can see it in the above mentioned E O Wilson's Life On Earth. However at the moment when I place an image in the position required it simply displays it on one of the pages. Any help with this issue would be greatfully recieved.

    You'd need to split the image into two, then place the left 1/2 on one page and the right 1/2 on the next, side-by-side.
    Disable Portrait orientation for the book via the Inspector.

  • Images on ibooks author

    HI friends. I am creating a book on iBooks author and I want to try and insert an image that splits on two different pages but I don't get to do it. I've been checking several examples of ibooks and i like the look of an image that gives some continuity from one page to another. How is it done???

    If you cut the image horizontally (so you have a left and a right section), you can put 1/2 on each page. If you want them to be 'pinchable' to go full screen, do 1/2 on one side and the full image on the 2nd page. THere's a good example of this in the EO WIlson Life On Earth book -- Chapter 1 -- between pages 10 and 11.

  • How do i place image instead of text  in swing button  ?

    Hi
    I need to place image in place of text in button i.e in place of button name i need to display image.
    Please tell me how to do this.......

    You'll need to use CSS floats.
    .floatLt {
         float:left;
         width:auto;
    HTML:
    <div class="floatLt">
    YOUR LOGO IMG HERE
    </div>
    <ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarHorizontal floatLt">
    YOUR MENU GOES HERE
    </ul>

  • Importing full-page images into iBooks Author (without image degradation)

    Hi ,, I have had little success importing images created with paint programs such as Corel Sketchpad, Photoshop, Corel Painter, etc. Everything seems to work just fine, but there are pixelated artifacts in the final image that shows on the iPad. I create the orginal images at 1024 x 768 ... and save them as high-qulaity jpgs and pngs .... but still poor qualiting especially where large blocks of solid colors are adjacent to one another.
    When I use a vector program such as Flash or Illustrator and export those images as jpgs ... they look perfect on my iPad. I don't want to use a vector program however ... I want to use paint programs.
    Anyway have success with paint program images? If so, what is your step-by-step process? Hopefully Apple will fix this bug so that paint program's exported jpgs don't have pixelated artifacts at edge areas. There is also a very noticeable color shift in the imported image .. much ligher and less saturated colors.
    In the image below you can see the imported image showing artifacts and the orignal image is not showing artifacts.
    Thanks, Frank

    An iPad 2 screen is 132 - new ipad is 264.
    In cases where you're seeing noticable degradation I wouldn't work with less than 132.
    Start high and reduce....don't try to make low do something it can't by simply adjusting the resolution up.
    I tend to avoid those 'paint programs' And remember, this isn't just about iBooks Author....iOS does the heavy lifting, but sure, it can only do as good as iBA spits out. I think they're working to trim the sails on compression etc. and it will only get better over time.
    The @2x scheme is working well for iOS - I have some stunning graphics for the new iPad in my latest app.
    Good luck.

  • How can I insert footnotes in iBooks Author?

    I just wanted to insert some footnotes or endnotes in iBooks Author, but I cannot find out how.
    I´ll be grateful for all suggestions.
    e

    I don't think they dropped the ball at all really. This is Version 1 and judging from the package contents employees at Apple have been at making this app for over a year. Send feedback to Apple requesting an enhancement and maybe it will show up in the future.
    I know everyone expects a lot out of Apple, but this is a free offering and probably the best one out there to make an eBook as it stands right now. I agree footnotes, bibliographies and even other print based standards should be worked into the app, but also remember that this is an eBook and perhaps footnotes aren't as useful anymore in a hyperlink context.
    It would almost be easier for someone to import footnotes into a database on a custom built website. Then find a way to create hyperlinks from the text to the entries of the database.
    Also, just because you can drop in text generated from Pages or elsewhere doesn't necessary mean it should be done in the scope we are discussing. A footnotes import isn't practical by any means. Glossary terms could be imported though, but in what format? There are several standards footnotes are written so how could you match it up programmatically page by page? I suppose if everything were tagged a certain way it would help, but even that solution would require the author or designer to sit in front of a spreadsheet tagging every term that requires a footnote and glossary term.
    I think DTM82 had a good idea. If you have footnotes already formatted from a previous text, maybe you could create a layout with a footer text box and connect that box sequentially throughout the pages that are created. That way you could paste in the footnotes to the text box at the beginning of each section or chapter and create page breaks where they need to end on each page.
    I'll experiment with this idea and if I can get it to work, I'll post the solution.

  • Using Wikipedia images in iBook Author?

    Can anyone please tell me more about the problems associated with using GENERIC and SHARE ALIKE images.  Some images seem to have both.
    An earlier thread indicated that using SHARE ALIKE will mean all images in the IBook will make them SHARE ALIKE too!

    The feedback from Wikipedia indicates that the information about Wikipedia images affecting the copyright of the images of an author in an iBook is totally false!!!!!!!
    I enclose their return message:-
    You didn't post a link to the particular license that controls distribution of the image in question, so it's difficult to comment. However, a more general comment…
    Did you get this response from a Wikipedia executive, or is it just a reply to a question on a talk page? If the latter, all it is is a comment from any one of a hundreds of thousands of Wikipedia contributors, meaning that it might not be correct.
    I have myself uploaded a number of images to Wikipedia. (Of course, I had copyright on those.) Some of these images I placed into the public domain. If you want to use one of those images, go ahead. They are free to use, and you don't even have to acknowledge a source.
    Other images I published are under the Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported license. That license states that, if you want to use my image, you must acknowledge me as a source and you must make your work available under the same license:
    Attribution-ShareAlike
    CC BY-SA
    This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work even for commercial purposes, as long as they credit you and license their new creations under the identical terms. This license is often compared to “copyleft” free and open source software licenses.
    If a book contains a mixture of copyrighted images and Attribution-ShareAlike images, I expect that the book cannot be published under an Attribution-ShareAlike license because it's not possible to simply give away the copyright to a copyrighted image: one license requries you to allow others to freely re-use your book, whereas, for the copyrighted images in your book, you presumably have permission to use those images specifically in your book only, so the two licenses are in conflict.
    The ShareAlike license makes some exceptions for works that are deemed "collections." However, my reading suggests that, if you include an Attribution-ShareAlike licensed image in a book, that does not make the book a "collection."
    Also note that, if you include an Attribution-ShareAlike licensed image in a book, it looks like you cannot sell that book with DRM:
    When You Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work, You may not impose any effective technological measures on the Work that restrict the ability of a recipient of the Work from You to exercise the rights granted to that recipient under the terms of the License.
    The DRM interferes with the free re-use of the work, and so violates the ShareAlike license.
    Licenses such as ShareAlike have their roots in the eighties, with the Copyleft licensing. The idea of copyleft is to say "We give you something to use. You can use it to create your own stuff, but only if you make what you create available for others too."
    Now, please, take all of the above with a grain of salt. I'm not a legal expert. If you have any doubt about the consequences of including an image in your book, I strongly recommend that you consult a copyright expert, particularly if your book includes images that use different licenses.
    Michi.
