How does iPhoto sort when creating a photo book

My problem. When I create a photo book in iPhoto, it sorts in random. I have by date selected, and I need the pictures to flow based on the date.
Where am I missing it?

You can not - they are soreted by date
--  the only solution I have seen is to put them in an album sorted the way you and and then use the batch cnage command to redate them with a small invrement between so a data sort matches your desired sort  --  I personally do not want to redate a bunch of my photos nor do i want  to have to go through and un-re- date a bunch
suggest a change to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

  • When creating a photo book how can I sort the photos shown by file name?

    I am creating a photo book. The photos shown in the right hand column appear out-of-order. How do I sort them by file name? The album in iPhoto the book is based on is sorted by file name.

  • When creating a photo book, how can one import photos older than 12 months?

    I am trying to create a photo book (I'm using iPhoto 11).  For my project, I'm trying to access photos older than 12 months, but that is not an option in the photo library at the right of the screen. 
    I have tried to click and drag the old photos into my project event.  They show up fine in "photos" but do not show up in the photo library!
    I have also found that photos downloaded from a CD do not show up in the photo library either.
    Anyone have any thoughts?

  • Quality of photo when creating a photo book from iphoto

    i am in the process of creating a photo book however i am downloading pictures from facebook and i am not sure if the qulaity will be good enough for print, will i be told during this process as i havent been yet and dont want to pay for something that isnt right. thanks

    There is another potential issue. While you may have enough pixels, the plain fact is that not all pixels are the same. When a photo is uploaded to Facebook they 'process' it - and in the course of that throw away about 90% of the data in the file. What that means is that a lot of the character and depth of the photo may be lost when printed. Unfortunately, this is not something that iPhoto can warn you about.

  • What is the ideal resolution for photos when creating a photo book in iphoto?

    Can you tell me what is the ideal resolution for photos I use to create a photo book from my iphoto library? 

    The DPI depends on the size of the image to be printed by the image file.  A 639 x 960 image could print a 3.5  x  5 photo at 180 DPI.  This website explains it further: The Myth of DPI.  
    So use the smaller photos only in the smaller frames on multiple photo layouts for best results.

  • Is it possible to create a custom photo layout when creating a photo book in iphoto?

    Is it possible to create a custom photo layout when creating a photobook in iphoto? How about adding text boxes?

    Yes and no
    You can not make a custom template nor can you modify one
    You can do a page in other software and then print to PDF using the send PDF to iPhoto option and place the resulting image as a full page photo - See Old Toad's tutorial No.19 for more information.

  • How does iPhoto import pictures from iPhone photo stream?

    Sorry for so basic a question, but I thought I understood how this was working (in iOS 7 and this version of iPhoto 9.6)  But now, in Yosemite, and iOS 8, I am not sure what is occurring.
    My intent is to take pictures on the phone, and when I cable-sync with my iMac, I want to d/l and keep all of the new photos permanently in iPhoto.  I have then gone to Image Capture, brought down a 2nd backup copy, and deleted them off the phone.  This would leave me with an empty Camera Roll, but with 1,000 recent photos available on my phone, via the Photo Stream.
    I've used iPhoto for years, and have a large number of pictures there.  Recently, with the advent of the Photo Stream, I'm automatically getting Events added (and added to) like November Photo Stream in iPhoto, which has worked fine.
    However, the last few times in iPhoto, I'm getting random photos showing up as unsynced... ones which should have been brought in previously.  And today when I went to clear the photos off the phone in Image Capture it told me I had 2,400 pictures.
    If someone could give me (or point me to) a primer on how this is now supposed to behave, I'd appreciate it.  I'm afraid that Apple is structuring all of this toward iCloud-photo storage when they release Photos, and that will not work for me.  I need to keep my pictures locally, although the Stream has been handy.  I need to be sure I'm doing this in a reasonable way... the method I'm using doesn't seem to be working very well.  Thanks again, for all advice.

    If you go to the Photo App, then select photo stream, you can delete any of them by selecting the edit button and tapping on them. A delete button or trash can should appear. Excuse me for being a little vague...ive been on iOS 7 for a while now...

  • When creating a photo book in iPhoto, is it possible to move completed pages to a new book?

    I have worked all day on a photo book, used up the allotted 100 pages, and still have more photos I want to use. I am going to create a "Volume 2" but am wondering, in order to make the two volumes comparable in page quantity, can I move some of my completed pages from Volume 1 to a second volume? How?

    Start the volume 2 as a copy of the first book.
    Ctrl-click the first book and select "Duplicate". That will craete an exact copy the first volume.
    Now delete the pages that you want to move to the second volume from the first volume and the pages that you want to remain in the first volume fronm the second.

  • When creating a photo book how do I know what size the cells are?

    I'm having a hard time getting my photos to fit appropriately in the cells. Regardless of the size of the image I almost always get an exclamation point warning.

    An "exclamation point warning" indicates that your print resolution (pixels per inch) may not be sufficient to print in the book at "best quality", it does not indicate "fit"..
    Work with your full-size images. Do not resize your images by exporting.  Do not crop- the same can be achieved in the Book module.You can zoom in on the book page image to effectively crop. You can make images "Fit" or "Fill" any size image cell.

  • Autofill not working when creating a photo book

    I have created several photobooks and have come across a new problem. When I click on "autofill", the first 20 pages in the book are blank. Photos only start on page 21. Right now, I just delete the empty photos, add extra pages and manually drag the photos onto the pages.
    This problem just started happening.
    Any thoughts or suggestions?
    Thank you,
    Elizabeth

    A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
    This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

  • I've created a photo book in iPhoto on my iPad.  When I go to order it, it says that "Your Book contains Empty Photo Frames" but when I check each page, they all have photos.  How to I order the book?

    I've created a photo book in iphoto on my ipad.  When I try to order it (by clicking the price of the book in the top right corner) it says that Your book contains empty photo frames - add photos to the empty frames, or change the page layout to include fewer photos" but when I look at each page, there are photos in all the frames.  What do I need to do to order this book??????
    Thanks so much for any help offered!

    It doesn't appear under the iPad device on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes, you need to select the iPad device on the sidebar and then select the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes e.g.
    And then on the right-hand side :

  • IPhoto freezes when I try to create a photo book

    iPhoto 9.5.1, MacOS X 10.9.5
    I create photo bokks with iPhoto since 2006 and never had a problem with that. The last book I created was just 2 months ago.
    Now I tried to create another photo book with appr. 300 photos, but whenever I click "New Book" iPhoto will show the beachball for 10 or more minutes. When I quit iPhoto and restart it, it will ask to repair the mediathek because that is corrupted. However, even after the repair I cannot create a new book!
    Please help!

    As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists when trying to create a new book. Does it?
    NOTE:  FWIW I prefer to create a new library for each book I make because that way I can isolate it from the day to day usage that my main library gets.  It helps isolate it from accidental deleting of photos already in the book in case I want to order another copy at a later date.  The library is small enough that it can be "archived" to a CD or DVD disk. I use the paid version of   iPhoto Library Manager to transfer the photos I want in the book from my main library to the book library.
    You will still need to determine what is wrong with your main library.

  • HT1040 I must not have chosen a hard back book when I started my project of creating a photo book. When I go to buy the book it only allows a small soft cover book. How would one go about changing it to a hard back book?

    I must not have chosen a hard back book when I started my project of creating a photo book. when I go to buy the book it only allows me to buy the small soft cover book. How would one go about to chage the settings?

    What version of iPhoto?
    THe basic answer to duplicate the book as things may change when you change size, select themes again and pic the cover and  size you want -
    Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.

  • When making a photo book, my iPhoto freezes during uploading the book to the store after assembly.  I have attempted this 4 times now and I don't know what to do! I know the file size is massive due quantity of large images. How can I get past this?

    When making a photo book, my iPhoto freezes during uploading the book to the storey.  I have attempted this 4 times now and I don't know what to do! I know the file size is massive due quantity of large image files, but I don't want to reduce the image file size and compromise quality in the book. How can I get past this?
    My macbook air is os x 10.9, using iPhoto 11 9.5 (902.7).

    Try Old Toad's solution here:   See   Re: iphoto : upload impossible to print a book
    Try to boot into Safe Mode and order this way, or sign into a different user account and try to order as a different user.

  • How does iPhoto organises the photos?

    Dear fellow Mac users,
    how are you! Tonight, my parents had a lot of fun taking photos of them using Photo Booth... awww. those love birds haha.. and i made a music slideshows for them. (too bad i dont know how to burn it into a VCD for them to watch on TV). I dont have a DVD RW.
    My question is
    1. How does Iphoto organises the photos? It seems like there are many dublicate copy of the same photo.... i am kind of confused. (There is .. Original Folder and Modified Folder) and worried that it will eat up my disk space
    2. Is it possible for me to burn a slide show VCD?
    Thank you soooo much!

    StanB:
    As PhillyPhan warned, you don't need to use the Finder to locate an image file for use outside iPhoto. You can either drag the thumbnail to the desktop to get a copy of it or use the File->Export->File Export menu route to export the file to the desktop. The second option allows you to resize it if desired. So there's no need to go rummaging around in the iPhoto Library folder to find a file.
