How to share photo books online

How can we share photo books created in iPhoto so others can buy the same book?

Duplicate your iPhoto library and delete all events, that are not needed for the book from the copied iPhoto library (don't forget to empty the trash). Then copy the second library with only the photos for the book to a USB stick and send your friends or family the stick.
Format the stick to MacOS Extended (Journaled) before you send it.

The digitization of data has introduced a complexity to our interactions with it that we continue to struggle with. "Picture" and "Photo" now mean different things in different contexts. In this case (and in general) defining our terms clearly is the first step towards understanding what we are trying to do. Understanding is the path that allows us to do it.
All pedantic, but please stick with me here .
You record a set of instantaneous data with a camera.
That data is processed by your camera and saved to a file.
The file format is usually either RAW or JPG.
You transfer those files to your computer, and you import them into the program Aperture (often in one operation).
From each camera-file imported, Aperture creates a record in its database (called, imho unhelpfully, a Library) and an Image that you see in the Aperture Browser and Viewer.
Aperture links the Image and the imported file.
The imported file is called, within Aperture, an Original.
Every Image has an Original.
The Image is not the Original. The Image is what you see in Aperture.
The Original is a file that is stored on your computer.
You can make changes to an Image.
Aperture calls these changes Adjustments.
Adjustments are saved to another file attached to the record in the database. Let's call this file the Changes File.
Aperture uses these two files attached to the record in the database to create the Image.
Image = Original + Changes File.
The Image is not a file.
Because the Image is not a file, it cannot be shared with other programs. It exists only inside of Aperture.
In order to share an Image with another program, you must first create a file of the Image.
You do this by exporting Images ("File ▹ Export ▹ Version" is the command in Aperture; should be, imho, "File ▹ Export ▹ Image").
You may ask, "Why all the complexity? Why doesn't Aperture save Images as files?" The answer is simple: Images can require less — and in many cases very very much less — storage space than files of Images. Rather than save a full-size file for every Image, Aperture saves only instructions on how to make that full-size file. The gain in storage efficiency is huge. The trade-off is that although your Images are always available to be made into share-able files, you must create those files when needed (which you do by exporting selected Images).
Here is your question reworded with more precise terms:

No, there is not. Images exist only in Aperture, and are not accessible for use in other programs. You must create, for each Image in your Aperture Library, a new file outside of your Aperture Library in order to use it with another program.
Aperture does allow you to create and save within your Library share-able files of your Images. These files are called Previews. You specify the file parameters in Aperture Preferences on the Previews tab. These files are available to other programs via the OS X Media Browser. These files are what you get when you drag selected Images out of the Aperture program and drop them on another program or on your desktop (which is part of the Finder).

Sharing Photo Books Online

I created a photobook as a gift for my son's teacher. It was great, a success. Now many of my friends and colleagues want to a) view the completed book online and b) potentially order one themselves (from Apple, not me..)
Is there away to share photo books made in iPhoto 09 online? I am not as concerned about the ordering part ( although it would be nice not to be caught in the middle) as I am the sharing part. I have shared all of the raw photos via Gallery & mobileMe, but want to share the formatted & edited book. Any tips.... ?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You could do it like this: iPhoto Book as an iWeb Slideshow. You can even add music to play while the visitors are viewing the pages.
Or go as far as converting the book pages to a jpeg in iPhoto and then create an iPhoto MobileMe gallery. You can then send the URL for the gallery or embed it in an iWeb page like this: MobileMe Galleries

HT204387 How to share photo from iPad 2 to Nokia mobile via bluetooth

I m using first time ipad2 plz guide me how to share photo via Bluetooth from iPad2 to Nokia mobile e5 n to shiva note book

You can't share photos from the iPad to the phone via Bluetooth. That is not supported on the iPad. Bluetooth on the iPad is primarily for using external keyboards, speakers, earphones and some peer to peer gaming.

Can you share photo books

Hello!
I am making a photo book on my macbook as a gift for a client at work and i want to put it on my boss's macbook pro for backup. I tried to email it and drop it in to an email but i cant drag it or open it. Is there any way to move this or share it to another computer? Let me know asap! Thanks
Stepanie

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Can you connect to your boss's MBP via a LAN? If so you can connect to his Mac and copy the library to designated folder. Otherwise, put the library on a Flash drive and transfer it that way.
If the library is large you can reduce it to just the photos in the book (and others that you think you might want to use) by following Old Toad's Tutorial 9a - Archiving an iPhoto 7/8 Book for Later Use/Editing. The bottom line is that the entire library has to be transferred so make it as small as possible, i.e cull out the unneeded photos first.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

How to share address book on Zimbra?

Sorry if this is an FAQ.
How can I share my address book(s) with others?
I tried the blow:
1) right click on an address book to be shared and select "share address book".
2) enter user's email address who I like to share the address book with, and cllick "OK".
3) The user receives a notification mail re: address book share.
However, nothing happens at the user's Zimbra. I expect that this user can see the shared address book in his/her address book list, but he/she can not.
How can the user see the shared address book on Zimbra?

Hi,
the target users most probably needs to link to the shared workspace, see http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/beehive/beehive_users/zimbra.htm#CFHFBDBF

How to create photo book from Album without cropping

I just came from vocation and try to make a cool photo book out of my "best pictures" selection. Most images are "as is" from camera, so have "standard" aspect ratio: H/W.
I also happy about composition and would like to keep all or most of it.
I tried several "cool" templates, but can not get results I want: iPhoto randomly place my images on random template, but the painful issue is that it is also randomly crops my images to fit these random layout. It probably try to make it look "cool", but it does not make any sense and does not look cool.
I can do it all manually and select template for every page, also, changing mask for every image (for some minimum of mask still crops more then half of image, so page layout have to be changed). I have about 200 pictures I picked for album and I am not happy about doing it 200 times.
It may work for me if iPhoto just flow images without cropping for fit? Extra bonus would be if I can select images I want "big", "medium" or "small"
Can iPhoto automatically create a simple PhotoBook for printing without killing most images with random and some times more than 50% cropping?

Canon S90 - it is Advanced P&S. When I say crop I does not mean a little bit on sides I mean iPhoto 11 some times crop 50% of image, some times try to zoom on faces. At any rate, most images just rendered useless. Say you have normal landscape picture of person holding some thing in his hands. iPhoto made super wide strip out of it to fit in 1+2 kind of layout, so what you see is upper half with face, object in hands completely out and you can not change mask as at minimal settings it is still cuts more than half of image out.
I tried many Themes, but I can not find one that would not destroy my images, that are very typical, hobbits images, with margin usually big enough for small fit crop, but as it is my trip record I would like to keep (naturally, no?) all details in.
Zoom of face may be cool, but when the rest of image lost, what the point?
I can go one by one, but this is time consuming for 200 images. It just make sense to have "preserve image" settings or "simple" photo book template some where... but I can no find it: all settings in iPhoto are kept to minimum , Apple style

How to share photos with other users

Hello,
how can i share my photos in iPhoto with the other users (my family) on my mac. There is only one mac-computer. When i go to preferences sharing, there is allways the allert: your firewall software let not pass the port 8770.
Achim

Hi Achim,
You have to open that port on your Mac. Usually when you go to sharing prefs there is a checkbox to allow iPhoto sharing (thus opening that port)
Here are all the links I have on sharing.
SHARING IPHOTO LIBRARIES
Sharing libraries between users on the same local network
You can also share a library on the same machine between users the same way.
Sharing libraries between users on the same machine...
-both users must have sharing enabled in their iPhoto Preferences
-both users must be logged in and have iPhoto running
-Remember that you can only view the other library. You can't edit the photos or play the saved slideshows or view the made books or burn them to CD or DVD. The books and slideshows will show up as an album. You can play that album as an "on the fly" slideshow. You can drag images from the sharing library to your library in the source column to import them to your library. You can then edit, add to albums, books, slideshow, etc.

How to share photos with multiple iPads

I am looking to share my photos with other family members who have iPads. How can I "publish" photos that will sync to multiple devices over WiFi? In other words, I want to push photos of my children to their grandparents (as simple as possible for the grandparents)

Wifi will only work if they are al on the same wireless network. An easier solution might be dropbox. You can post your pictures there, share the link with anyone who you want to see the pictures, and they can bring them onto their machines. This will work with family members who do not have pads, on any device that can acccess the web.
I believe you can set up an account for free.

How to manage photos saved online

I just started using photoshop yesterday and today i get this message that my online storage is full and looks like i should order more storage for photoshop to work again. I dont want to buy more storage yet i want to learn first how this works. How can I erase all thats in storage and still can keep photoshop working. I have been using an external hardrive to back up my work and i want to keep using it and save the online storage for my finished project for others to see. I dont want to store junk photos online. Hope to hear from someone on this . Please
la luchie

First turn off syncing (system tray/notifications area in windows, top of your screen on a mac), then use a web browser to go to photoshop.com and log into your account and delete the stuff there. To manage what's synced in the future, go to the organizer's preferences>backup/synchronization, and then you can turn syncing back on.
