Image across 2 page spread?

Is it possible to get an image to spread across 2 pages wide without having to split it in half manually and import two seperate images?
I can not for the life of my find any way to do this
thanks for any tips

There is no need for a "hack" or other editing to make 2 halves. Since the photo will "disappear" off of the page, all you need to do is insert the image twice or duplicate it & then line up the photo on two side by side pages. Use the pop-up at the bottom left of the document & choose two-up. You could also mask one half on one page & the other half on the other page.
I suggest you leave feedback for the Pages team regarding this. You can find it under the Pages menu > Provide Pages Feedback. That takes you to the same page as this link.

Double spreads - can I place an image across two pages in facing page mode?

Hi, I'm just getting into Pages to be able to create custom wedding album designs easily (I use Aperture). I'd really like to be able to place an image across two facing pages and I noticed that there is a 'facing page' mode, but this looks like it only applies to the view.
I tried laying an image across two 10x13 inch pages, but of course this doesn't work. I also tried to insert a 10x26 inch page as an alternative so that I can treat it as a double page. However, when I try to do this, every page resets to that size.
Is there a way of creating two page sizes (one normal, the other double width) in the same document so I can do this, or is there a way of spreading an image across two facing pages?
Thanks

brown,
You've bumped into one of Pages' limitations -- it won't allow one image across a spread. I've heard rumors of people kludging it by cutting the image in half, and putting each half on the spread pages.

How to print large image across several pages?

After using Appleworks for years I finally got Pages 09. In AW I used to be able to use drawing app to print large (36 x 36) images over several pieces of paper, simply by adding pages to the document. I would then tape the pages together to form the large poster. I can't see anyway to do this in Pages. It won't let you print any larger than 11x17, nor let you add pages to a layout to print a large image. Anybody know how to do this, or did I just waste my money?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Yvan Koenig discovered with iWork '08 that you can span images across pages in a Numbers document as a substitute. Select & delete any tables & then treat the Numbers document as a draw document. You shouldn't need to add pages like in AppleWorks as Numbers adds them as needed to display all of the content.

You can't with a single image, but you can "fake" it. Duplicate the image & then line up the two halves. It's easier if you are viewing facing pages two-up.

Spread image across two pages and print the full pages

Hi there,
Im having a bit of trouble with InDesign CS3.
I want to place an image across two facing pages but can't seem to make it go further than one page.
Also I want to figure out how to print full pages, currently I am only able to print what is contained in the pruple bounding box on the page, any part of the image outwith this is cropped off leaving a white border on the page - this isn't an issue for all but my title page and this two page image I require.
Any tips.
Cheers

I don't understand the inability to place an image that spans two pages (not that I necessarily think this is a good thing to do under most circumstances, but that's a different discussion). Can you see both pages in the same spread? How about providing some details about what you are doing, and maybe a screen shot showing what's happening. Perhaps you're using a frame on the master page?
The second part sounds like a printer issue, but that's hard to know without knowing what your "purple" guides (presumably the page margins) are set to. Most printers are not able to print to the edge of the sheet of paper, regardless of what might be included on the page, so you get a white border that will vary in size depending on the printer model. Generally speaking, to print a bleed you must extend the items beyond the page edge (to insure there is no white edge left fom misaligment in the cutter) and print on a larger sheet, then trim to finished size.

Image across 2 pages

I have a 2 page spread in InDesign. I want an image to go across both pages. For production purposes, must I break that image up into two pieces with half on one page and the other half on the second page? I have noticed that If I run a sigle graphic container across the two pages and then make a PDF, it will make the image into two that goes with the page. Is that something that it does just visually? Or would that work to have that file sent to production?

Thanks for your quick repy and help. I was concerned about preparing the pages that way when they are intended to end up in a signature in a publication. The pages of the spread may not end up on the same physical piece of paper.

IDCS3 Print Booklet - Image across first and last page

Does anyone know how I could place an image to be wrapped around the cover of a booklet? No problem on inside pages because they show as two page spreads but the first and last pages don't display as a two page spread.

Place it on the cover and stretch it out across what would be the back
cover if it were there.
Copy to clipboard and scroll to the last page. Edit>copy in place. Crop
to fit on back cover and front cover.

"Gutter jump" for photos across 2-page spreads

I am new to InDesign and cannot find a clue on how to set up a two-page spread in a multi-page publication that is destined for CMYK process printing so that a photograph running across the "gutter" between the pages will print properly in the final publication. Printers used to call this a "gutter jump", but that phrase does not come up in searches of help databases (nor does any equivalent phrase).
This is not for a page that will simply be folded, but, instead, where the pages will be (for example) pages 4 and 5 of a 16-page signature.
In the pre-computer era, this was done with two separations of the same image -- the part that would appear on the left-hand page and the part that would appear on the right-hand page -- and was set up so there was overlap of image content between the two in the area where the two pages would meet (so the image would be continuous even if binding covered parts of the image along the spine area or if the pages were not opened completely flat).
I've found no "how to" guide for this anywhere (books, the PDF guide that came with the program, FAQs, or in forums).
So: On a two-page spread setup in InDesign, can a photo simply be inserted to jump the gutter between the pages, with InDesign sorting out how to split the image later when the file is RIPped?
Or, do I insert cropped sections of the photo onto the two facing pages, much as was done in the past (the left portion on the left page and the right portion on the right page, with some image content overlap in the center)?
If there's a tutorial or a post on this, directions to it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Set up your document as facing pages and just place the photo right
across the spine. When you export the PDF, the photo will be properly
split on the spine and the two portions will show up on the correct pages.

Images printing over double page spreads

Hi all,
I was just about to order a new book through Aperture, when I looked closely at the PDF and noticed that there was image duplication when an image was placed across a double page spread - the duplication occurs right where the spine would be - about an inch (maybe less) or so of the photo is repeated on both the left and right pages. Has anyone else experienced a problem with this? Is this correct? Perhaps it's just allowing for the binding process. Any help gratefully taken - even more so if you could check your own printed books and see if there are any issues with images printed over a double page spread.
Thanks,
GT
PS - rwboyer - I just emailed you privately about this as well, to include an image - sorry if that is terribly rude.

Hi again,
I've answered by own question (or had it answered by Apple) - DO NOT drag an image box over the spine - it will cause a significant amount of duplication of the image on both the left and right pages. This will be reflected in the print version.
I've suggested to Apple that there should be something that stops users from doing this. In my opinion, it's not good enough that the software interface allows you to do this, only to screw it up at the print stage.

Need to select and move images across multiple pages...

Hi,
I am using Indesign CS2 on a Windows machine and have a 25 page document with 4-up photos (4"X6") on individual pages. I used the ImageCatalog javascript to load these images so I don't seem to have any control from the Master page. I would like to group and move these images to a different location on their own pages.
Do you know how to select these images across multiple pages? Or can a simple script be written to process this task?
Thanks in advance for your help.
-Greg

Hi Greg,
A script can certainly do what you want to do--but you have to be a bit more specific. Do you want to move them to different pages in some predefined way, or do you just want to adjust them a bit on the pages they're already on?
Thanks,
Ole

Lightroom 5.2 - Background Image on a Two-Page spread in the Book Module

Is there a way i can make the Background image spread in the two-page spread in the Book Module. Currently i see the same Background image repeating which is annoying. Or is there a workaround. I'm using LightRoom 5.2. Please Advise.

I have an even simpler method. I use MyPublisher to print my books. I select their page layout for a two-page spread, drag and drop the image. DONE! I understand that most people have their favorite places to have work done. I have been extremely pleased with MyPublisher.com, so I haven't even tried the book module in Lightroom.

How do I split 1 image across 2 pages? Am using Pages `08.

When formatting a magazine - how do I split one image across 2 pages side by side?

You can't with a single image, but you can "fake" it. Duplicate the image & then line up the two halves. It's easier if you are viewing facing pages two-up.

IBooks two page spread for children's picture ebooks

Hi,
I am creating a children's ebook for iBooks and I'd like to get the following result (taken from Peppa Pig: Tiny Creatures, published on iTunes for iBooks):
The final picture ebook should have a gutter/seam in the center, 2 page spread and pages that stack when flipped.
I saw in this post that iBooks Author can't do that and we should use use Pages instead, exporting the book as an ePub to iTunes.
But how can I do this in practice with Pages? I see that Pages doesn't export the file to ePub if certain layout features are enabled and that we should follow a strict procedure to create an ePub with Pages, as described in the "ePub Best Practices".
Now, if I follow the ePub Best Practices template, I come out with a pretty dull design, good only for novels or similar.
In particular, how can I spread a picture across two pages in Pages and get that rendered by iBooks?
For example, if I want a picture to spread across 2 pages (as shown in the picture above), do I need to place the image in a "single" landscape page in Pages, and that will be spread across 2 pages when viewed in iBooks? Or should I choose a spread layout in Pages and that will be correctly picked up by iBooks, which will also add the seam effect in the middle of the book?
Thanks.

This isn't something you need to pull a lever to do in Pages. It is part of the default navigation in iBooks when a standard epub is displayed.
As for that 'spread' image, I suspect it is actually two...left and right.
Suggest you move to the Pages forums for details...?

Two-page spread for non-Apple printed book

This is probably going to sound complicated:
I'm in a small program, and we want to create a yearbook, which we decided to do ourselves since there's so few of us. The book will have pages of events and groups, of course, but also "profile pages" where photos focused on a single person are included.
Two of the people in the program are married to each other. Naturally, I want their pages to be side-by-side. More than that, though, I want to have a picture right in the middle of their two pages that I got from their wedding. In the picture, they have their arms linked, so the idea is that the gutter of the book will separate the photo with the man on the left (and his "profile page" will then go on the left), and the woman on the right (with her profile page).
I hope that makes sense so far.
The question is, how do I ensure I lose as little as possible in the gutter if I'm printing with a service other than Apple? Apple's just a bit too expensive for over a dozen books, so I'm looking at mostly Inkubook or Viovio. I've already set up a custom book in Aperture with the page sizes set to 8.7" x 11.2" (to account for 0.1" trim) and an inside margin of 0.25" (for the gutter).
Viovio has a suggestion on their website that images overlapping two pages should have a portion duplicated on either page, with the size of that duplication being equal to the size of the gutter (so the right image duplicates 0.25" of the photo on the left and the left duplicates 0.25" of the photo on the right).
Does that sound like it will work? And then, should I have the same photo on both pages with a duplicated area of 0.5" (the two gutters) or 0.7" (gutters plus trims)? To that end, how do you even measure distances in Aperture - I don't seem to be able to find a ruler of any kind, which makes putting equal spaces between photos and borders on pages very hard as well.
If that doesn't make sense, which I know it may not, let me know and I'll try to clear it up...

Two page spreads are tricky and will depend on how the binding is done by the third party printer. If you look closely at the PDF file created by Aperture for books, you'll notice that the individual pages of a two page spread do not absolutely bisect the image you've aligned across the two pages. Rather, the inside binding-side edges will give you a little extra bleed, so that in binding with the book pages spread open, you'll see one continuous image without white space.
I can't say for certain because I've not used a printer other than Apple, but I would imagine that there is variance from printer to printer w/respect to this center margin.
Of course, I could be entirely wrong.
