I am trying to make a photo book thats i can put text over a picture

I am trying to create a photo book that allows me to put text over a photo.
The only book that kinda allows for this is the photo essay book but the text box is really small and cannot be adjusted.
The older version of iphoto allowed you to plave a pictures behind a text page and fade the picture into the background.
Can anyone help???
do i need to revert to the old iphoto or is there a way to have a picture in the background with a bigger text box on one of teh photo books now avalaible?

You can still have a photo for a text page background. Go to the layout pane for the text page and click on the photo background icon:
Then drag the photo you want as the background into the page.

How can I fix the text in my photo book that reads"your default text had not been edited. Printed books will not include this text?"

How can I fix the text in my photo book that reads"your default text had not been edited. Printed books will not include this text?"

You will get this warning, if your book includes textboxes that still include the default text, like "Insert Title". You need to find these boxes and add your own text. Look for boxes like this:
Make a PDF-preview of your book and look, where the preview differs from what you are seeing in iPhoto.

I get this pop up when trying to create a photo book through the iPhoto store.
"Some or all of the photos you selected were downloaded from your published albums. You can only view these photos. To use them in an album or a slideshow or project, you must import them to your photo library."
The photos I have selected have already been imported so how and why do I do it all over again?
What do they mean by published albums? I categorize them into photo albums for organizational purposes after I import them from my camera or phone. So why can't I put them into a book now?
I have over 400 photos selected for a photo book for my child's graduation gift so how can I tell which photos I have to do this to?
Please help. Any insight wouyld be appreciated.
Confused and frustrated...

Give this a try: apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.

This is my first time using iphoto, I am trying to make a slide show that I can then burn to a dvd. The slide show is complete, but I'm not sure where to go now. Can I burn the slide show from iphoto or do I have to export to imovie or idvd?

I have completed the slide show i am making, but not sure what to do now. I want to burn it to a dvd, but not sure if i can do that from iphoto or do i need to export to imovie or idvd? If i need to export, will iphoto save a copy in iphoto? This may be really stupid, but I don't see an obvious way to save my slide show in iphoto. Please Help!

Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
NOTE: If you're running iPhoto 9.5 the export options will be different.

How do I make a photo book with low grade pics from iphones?

Hello,
Can Anyone give me some help I am trying to make a photo book with low grade photos from iphones.
Thank you!

What exactly is your question?
If you have low resolution photos then they will have to be printed smaller and the quality not be as good as if you had better photos - there is no way to make a poor photo better
And in general iPhone photos are not low resolution - what are the pixel dimensions of the photos? What size photos are you trying to print?

Yesterday I searched the apple discussion Unix db trying to find similar questions and found someone wanting to surf the web and do email with Unix from a few years ago and there were some recommends for "lynx" or "W3M"--the "lynx" website was unresponsive to clicking on links. This was from a couple of years ago--are there any updates or newer browsers now available that can get around the web at current speeds?
Any other options to get fairly current browsers working in ppc units? In one of the replies to my last question I got a recommend and a link to "Ten4Fox" as a re-work of Firefox and that may be my best hope, but, haven't been totally crazy about Firefox for the mac . . . Would UNIX have something thru fink or macports that would keep a browser going into the distant future? And, then how to get them to actually do something? Many thanks.

No other insights from the Unix guys? Nothing out there in Unix-land to keep a current browser on a ppc computer? Traditionally on this forum there has always been someone who could offer some relevant advice, no? Not this time I suppose . . . well, if I find something I'll post back to this question. Later dudes.

I am using Aperture to make a photo book. I have about 400 photos in the project that I am selecting from. I want to use about 70 for the book. I am allowed to pick and choose photos until I fill 20 pages. Then when I select add page, I am allowed to select all the pictures in the project. I am not allowed to select. I think I hve to change a setting, bt what? Thanks for the help.

David, have you enabled the "Autoflow" options? There are settings behind the cogwheel, that will automatically place unused images onto new pages. If you only want to select a few images from a large project, disable these two options:
Or start your book froman album, that only contains a selection of your images, rather than from the whole project.

Re error 8 message/corrupt photo when trying to buy a photo book

I am trying to upload a photo book, which I have done many times before, and this message comes up: "com.apple.chameleon.component
General.error 8." The book stops uploading at page 4 and sites a corrupt photo. How do I find out which photo is causing the problem? The same thing happens when I try to preview the book. Help!

Remove the photos on page 3 and preview - if it works re place the photos on p 3 oneone and preview until you find the problem photo - if the problem is not on p 3 then do the same on p4 and p5 is necessary

Your screenshot is not visible.
Anyhow, try a different browser. What were you using?
Firefox is known to work well with the download manager when other browers fail.

The mouse that came with my Mac does not have a right click feature. When I try to highlight and click, it just opens the link I don't want anymore. What I want to do is remove unwanted links from the top bar. For example, I no longer use GoodSearch or myEarthLink, but I can't delete them. There are also some links that never should have found their way up there, and I don't know how they ended up there, and I can't remove them either. I've read through a ton of questions and answers, and I can't find one that addresses the problem. With my Safari browser, all I have to do to remove an unwanted link is to click and drag it to the trash. It doesn't appear to work that way with Firefox, to my chagrin. I hope this better explains my question. Maybe that will give you a better insight into a solution.

Trying to make a photo contest need some help

Trying to make a photo contest need some help. I am running a
fish photo contest on my website and was wondering if any of you
could give me some advice on some good extensions to help me do
this easier. Basically I want a page where people upload a file and
then it automatically resizes the image and puts it on a page,
where people can vote on the pictures.

Hi Pilot,
Column B contains the sale amounts.
Column C will contain the tax amounts.
I'm assuming a header row, and the first line of data to be row 2.
In C2, enter: =B*20%
Click Accept, then use the mouse to drag the small round handle at the lower right of the selected cell (C2) to fill the formula into the rest of the cells in column C.
This simple version of the formula will put zeros in all column C cells where no amount has been entered in the corresponding cell in column B. The revised formula below takes care of that.
C2: =IF(B,B*20%,"")
I'd strongly suggest that 'rookies', as you describe yourself, download and read both the Numbers User Guide and the Functions and Formulas User Guide. Both are available from the Help menu in Numbers. If you use Pages and Keynote, you should use the Help menu in those applications to download their User Guides as well. The guides are searchable pdf files, well written, easy to read, and useful to rookies and old hands as well.
Regards,
Barry

By photo CD do you mean you're trying to burn image files to a CD disk from iPhoto? How are you going about this?

Be sure your credit card is ok?
And go to your account in the Apple store and re-enter (not just verify) all of your information and be sure one click ordering is on and try again
