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 recently purchased a book on itunes. How do I get it into ibooks? On itunes it says that it is downoaded...but to where has it been downloaded?

    If you bought it on your computer's iTunes then it will have downloaded to the Books section of your computer's iTunes library. You should be able to sync it to the iBooks by connecting and selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC) and then on the Books tab on the right-hand side of the screen selecting and syncing that book. Or you should also be able to re-download it directly on the iPad via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app - it should sync/download to the Books collection in the app.

  • How can I automatically import images into iBook Author?

    I'd like to make a photo book with a couple hundred photos.
    Aside from manually inserting each page, inserting each image, placing/resizing it on the page, is there an easier way to insert many images, and flow them one per page?
    thanks in advance

    There is no built-in support for automatic inserts, sorry.
    I can imagine whipping up an Autormator/AppleScript to do that job, however - in which case success lies in your abilities to put that together, of course.

  • How do I import templates in iBooks Author?

    The folder /Library/Application Support/iBooks Author/Templates does not exist.
    Even if I make it, it doesn't work.
    Thanks

    Same problem
    If I Click the Finder icon in the Dock and choose Go > Go to Folder and enter: ~/Library/Application Support/iBooks Author/Templates/My Templates/
    I can see a new template listed there, but it does not show when I go to iBA:File:New from Template Chooser.
    Here's hoping they sort it out soon!

  • Is it possible to creat a book cover with spine in pages?

    Still learning. Can  a person create a book cover with spine in pages?

    You need to make a separate document which would have the back cover, spine and front cover laid out flat.
    This is a tricky process in practice as it is difficult for anyone other than the printer to determine the final thickness of the book, and also, in all probability, you will need to allow for bleed off all sides for a cover. This needs to be added into the laid out artwork to allow the excess printing to be trimmed off.
    In all cases, the answers to exactly what is required will be supplied by your commercial printer, should you be using one, which I assume you are as you wish to bind your book.

  • Create a Book Cover / Shape in Photoshop?

    I want to create a book cover. I don't want it to be a simple 2D, flat image, though, I'd like to to look like an actual book -- you know, viewed from 3/4, see the front and the spine, the top maybe...
    I found one site that sells a program called "bookcoveromatic" that is a collection of Photoshop actions that can create a book cover, but I'd rather not spend $100... I'm guessing that there is a something else available, or even something built right into Photoshop that I'm not aware of?
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    --PS

    Create your flat image.
    Cut it apart. Put the parts on separate layers. Transform each layer to look like it's being viewed from a consistent angle.
    You might achieve this more easily if you look into the Vanishing Point part of Filters. There are some small descriptions of this in Help.

  • I have written an ebook that has been created for kindle. How can I export the book into iBooks author?

    I have written an ebook that has been created for kindle. How can I export the book into iBooks Author?
    I have tried converting the book to different files like, mobi, epub, pdf. By using an app on my iphone.
    I still cannot add it to iBooks Author.
    I'm stuck, Please help me!

    Either use copy/paste and then format/style as desired, or take it to Pages or WORD and insert chapters - which may still require resettling.
    If you're looking for a 1:1 port, with all styles and layout intact, you may be dissapointed, tho.

  • Once an iBook has been exported to the iPad, how can that book be moved to a different iPad or back to iBooks Author?

    Once an iBook has been exported to the iPad, how can that book be moved to a different iPad or back to iBooks Author?

    You can't simply move it directly between iPads.
    In your example, you'd find that .ibook file in your iTunes account on your computer and then email or sync it to the school's iPad. Similar to how you did with yours....maybe you got it off a server and can repeat that process.
    Then delete it off your iPad and either delete or flag your copy in iTunes to not be put back when you sync in the future.

  • How can I import an ibook file back into iBook Author?

    I exported an ebook from iBook Author thinking it is the equivalent of saving the file.
    I did not save the file, I only exported it and than exited the program.
    My active file is vannished.
    I need to make some adjustments to the ebook, but can not bring it back up.
    Is there a way that I can re-import the iBook file back into iBook Author?
    When I open iBook Author and try to open the exported file the program does not recognise the ibook file...
    Thanks for your help!

    Check for previous versions of that book in iBA....even if not saved.
    You can dig into the .ibooks file by changing the suffix to zip, but you'll have to manually extract what you can from assets you find. Please only do this with your own books.

  • When I drag pdf files into iBooks Author, the background in the pdf file changes into the colour of my book (brown/beige)?

    Hi,
    when I drag a pdf file (when working in Preview) into iBooks Author, the background colour in the pdf file changes into the background colour of the book.
    This happens not consistently, sometimes the background of the pdf file does not change (and stays white), sometimes it's like the text in the pdf file is 'lifted' of the file, and put on the page in iBooks Author (with a brown/beige background).
    All the pdf files are scanned pdf's, nothing comes out of Pages, Word, Excel,...
    Anybody?
    Thanks a lot!
    Wouter

    I have the same question (posted here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/25644741#25644741).
    I believe this is because the PDFs have transparent backgrounds. As far as I can tell, the only way to fix it is to export the PDF as another file, such as an image file. Or perhaps convert it to Word and import it that way.

    Possibly. Media Go supports a variety of music formats, some of which can be imported in to iTunes and then synced on to an iPhone, however some of its formats cannot be imported in to iTunes.
    See http://mediago.sony.com/enu/supported-file-formats/ for a list of formats supported by Media Go. iTunes for Windows supports MP3, AAC, WAV, and can import and convert WMA files as well. However iTunes does not support ATRAC, or FLAC.
    Furthermore, if some of your music has been bought from an Internet music store it might be procted by DRM. If so it cannot be imported in to iTunes.
    To do the importing you would either drag the music files in to iTunes, or tell iTunes to open them. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1347
