Image size in iBooks Author 'Gallery' when at full page

Hi
I'me looking to make an image gallery (c 40 images) to fill a complete landscape page in IBAuthor
I now need to get the images from the photographers.
I was told to request them in the size below but I've just noticed that in the gallery format at full screen, the images look to be a different size due to the thumbnails at the bottom which I wish to include (I know you can untick this option)
Can anyone advise me if I need to ask for more or different information?
Specifically should I ask for images at 1024x768 pixels or at another size?
Many thanks.
Chris
Working with images
Photo should no larger than 500-600 kb each. iBookstore will ony accept books up to 2.0 GB for publication so I keep the size down for best results and to avoid performance issues.
The (older) iPad display has a 1024x768 pixel screen so this should be the maximum size of the image. To make sure that all ipad users can view images to the best effect.
Use JPG for opaque raster images and PNG for transparent raster images whenever possible.
Use an RGB color profile in your images to improve size and processing time
Cover images should be 1400 pixels wide in the smaller dimension

I'm guessing that they will be jpegs but I can ask for them in any format you consider best. I guess that's part of the question. The notes above say:
Use JPG for opaque raster images and PNG for transparent raster images whenever possible.
Use an RGB color profile in your images to improve size and processing time
Which format should I ask for?
Thanks

Image size for ibooks author

Hi
I am making a book using iBooks author. It will be image heavy. (40-50 images)
I have a few question on images.
1. I do not want the file to be huge or take an age to download so an Apple rep informed me that the images should ideally be no more than 500-600kb per image saved at 72dpi
Forgve my ignorance but can someone eplain to me what this means in terms of pixels? What size (height and width) and resolution (pixels per inch) should I save images so that they can be seen at their best but not be overly large?
The finder window when I try to resize images gives me some standard options. Should I take these? Also if I click on 1024 x 768 pixels as a standard size, the width and height boxes do not change.
I'm a little confused.
Many thanks

This thread is over 12 months old now...perhaps you posted here by mistake. Your problems have slready had rep,ies in another thread, however to answer your question..
No, iBA does not seem to change image size....which is why you see posts about tickets for images size in books held back by the review team.
Consider that Apple gave you free use of iBA. Pages, inDesign and others come at a cost.
If you intend to create other books with a high photo image content, you really need to consider investing in suitable software.
I suggest you search the net for "photo image editors" or similar, dont wait for iBA updates..I doubt Apple will address image sizing and "cropping" can effectively be done using the image mask.
As in all projects be it eBooks, making kitchen tables or building a tree house...its sensible to gather all your assets and ensure they are suitable for the planned use....before starting the construction process.

How can I make a custom book size in iBooks Author

How can I make a custom book size in iBooks Author?

Book sizes (Landscape or Portrait) are fixed when using iBooks Author.
Covers, however, can be square.

Why am I getting messages such as "The command "Image Size" is not currently available" when trying to run an Action that has always worked in the past and when the particular Commands do work if used by themselves?

Why am I getting messages such as "The command Image Size is not currently available whenever I try to run an Action that uses the particular command (and which has always worked fine previously) and when the particular command works fine when used on its own?

I would think that image size would always be available when there is an active document in Photoshop. The only time I remember seeing messages like that where they should work was during the five month period when Adobe released CS6 with so many bugs which took Adobe five months to fix. During those five month messages like that that should not have happen were common when action switch between documents. Adobe would start processing the next Action step before the document switch completed, Any step that required an active document could fail with a mess stating the command is not available.
Are you by some chance using CS6 version 13.0 CS6 without any updates. Use Photoshop menu Help>About Photoshop. If it shows CS6 version 13.0 you need to update CS6. .

How to make a widget like "gorongosa landscapes", featured in ibooks author gallery of widgets?

Dear all,
I would like to make a widget, similar to "Gorongosa landscapes" demo in author gallery of widgets:
http://www.apple.com/ibooks-author/gallery.html
Any idea?
Best,
M

The easiest way woud be a gallery, second keynote. But in the thumbnails only show up with the gallery widget at top or bottom.
If you want nearly the same as in the "Gorongosa landscapes" do it in html.
Very good and quite easy is Hype. In their blog is a tip how to get an animation working in iBooks Author.

IBooks Author: in exported file, one page loads very slowly...

iBooks Author: in exported file, one page loads very slowly and drags when scrolling through pages, almost stopping the scroll. I have never seen this problem before with photo pages. Normally they scroll just as smoothly as text pages.
I have tried rebuilding the page with more compressed files to no avail. The image files used on the page are not any bigger than others I have used previously without any problem.
I have tried restarting my iBook.
I am using a template that I have modified quite a bit. The templates currently offered by Apple and third parties are not even close to what I am looking for in terms of layout, so I have to rip almost everything out of the page and start with a blank page, most of the time. I tried modyfying the layouts to save time and then saved as a new template. Apple really needs to add a module to create your own template at the beginning of a project. Or they need to create one very open template, without much on the pages.

I finally solved the problem by using an unmodified template. I would still like to know how my modifications to the other template caused the problem, but for now it remains a mystery. Thanks for your ideas.
Next I will try modifying the template without saving it as a template (merely saving it as a file) to see if I can get away with my modifications. Also I will make fewer modifications.
Slowly but surely I am learning this program by trial and error. Each time I try a few formatting variations, output an iBooks file, and open it on my iPad. I have probably done 20 of these tests, so far. Once I work out every detail of the design and structure, I will build the final book. I am lucky to have a beautiful PDF of the hardcover version, generously provided by my publisher. This not only sets a high bar for me, but also allows me to use some of their design elements via screen capture.
iBooks Author has great potential, but I along way to go to get there. One feature I would really like to see in the next update: the ability to add a hidden caption to a photo. The reader would tap the image and the caption would appear. Tap again and it disappears.

HT5071 I am putting together a book with iBooks Author and all of my pages are numbered (3) how can I change them to an acceding order starting with page one?

Sorry I didn't get the tip link right: Change page number style

I created some iBooks in iBooks Author, but when uploaded to iPad, cover graphics do not change when opening different books; they remain on same graphic from book to book even though content changes accordingly. Solutions?

I recently created a number of books using iBooks Author. They are all part of a larger project, but due to size issues, individual sections were broken up into separate e-books. Each one of these e-books has different content and different cover graphics to differentiate between sections. Once finished, I exported each of them as iBooks and then uploaded them to my iPad. On the Books screen, all the iBooks show up just fine with the appropriate cover graphic and titles. When I select one to enter, its cover graphic zooms in and then the book opens into the table of contents. However, the second book I open always reverts to the cover graphic from the first book I entered. It will access the right content, but the cover graphic pulls up as the wrong section, which may lead to some confusion (given the manner these books will be distributed). After leaving it alone for a little while, I can usually access another book and have it pull up the correct cover graphic, but when I enter the second book, the same problem resurfaces.
Any thoughts on how to fix or troubleshoot this?

Update: Solved.
Either creating a new file or saving the old as a template file & renaming it solved my problem.
Here is the discussion where I found that information:

Limit of pages or file size for iBooks Author?

iBooks Author v.1.1(190)
I use iBooks Author for work, is there a maximum amount of pages iBooks can handle or limit to file size? I will have around 80+ pages including videos,links, and interactive widgets. My current page count is 52 and file size is 60MB, plus iBooks Author frequently quits when I save and preview on iPad 1.

See Optimizing performance in your iBooks Author books [ support.apple.com/kb/HT5117 ] and know that max book size is 2GB.
60 mb shouldn't be an issue...

IBooks Author gallery widgets appearing black

I'm currently trying to make an iBook document however when I click on some of the gallery widgets to make them come up full screen they are just black. Also all of the options such as fill, opacity etc are grey and cannot be changed on these ones that don't work yet can be changed on those that do work.

are you using jpg or png format for the images?

IBooks Author crashes when I add video.

Every time I try to add a video file to iBooks Author it crashes. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the software as well using different video formats. It does not seem to matter, the program still crashes. Any suggestions?

I spoke with Joseph. He sent me to a site that allowed him to see my screen. Then, after the crash log appeared, we both went over it. That's when we found the error file that allowed us to locate the problem in my library cache.
I did everything, including export as .m4v, mp4, mov or any other type. Now, whatever file format I use, iBooks Author automatically optimizes the video.
Before I fixed the problem, it would optimize my video, but any keynotes or other items in my book would not longer work. Once I removed the corrupted file all was good.
Hope that helps.

I created a book at the Ibooks author. But there are pages where the number of the page does not appear. How I can solve this problem? I thank you very much for any tip.

I created a book at the Ibooks author. But there are some pages which the number of page is not visible. What can I do to see the number of the page?

Have you changed the template?
Some pages may not have numbers in place as default. If you have changed the page or the template page, you may have added a object which as pushed the number out of view, or an image may be in a layer on top of the text.
If you select one object on the page...then go to Edit, select all, you should see the outlines of any content no matter that content may not be seen. Look at the bottom for a page width rectangle outline.. IF its there, you need to shuffle the content until you find that box, and use Arrange > bring to front.

When I click on an image (photo) to view a gallery, when the gallery pops up all the frames are blank.

Clicking on an image in Firefox takes me to a page with text but no other images. The image appears on the main page, such as an image in facebook that takes you to a photo gallery, but when clicked on, the pop-up has text and, it seems, a frame for an image, but no image. This happens all over the web, not just facebook.

Any possibility this is a side effect of Bluhell Firewall? Those gallery overlays might look like advertising.
To determine whether one of your extensions is involved, you could test some of the same pages in Firefox's Safe Mode. That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled ''(Flash and other plugins still run)''
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?

Image size/quality on N79 gallery: thumbnails only...

On my N79, if I use the gallery to browse through my pictures, it shows thumbnails correctly, but if I try to view an image at full-screen, or zoom in on it, all I get is the thumbnail-sized image! Should I be waiting for images to buffer or is this something else that will have to wait for the next Software Update.
(Images are being saved at the correct size, they look fine on my computer or in the camera app.)

Turns out I just had to wait a moment or two longer, it works fine.

IBooks Author Section Text two column page does not work

I have a Chaper and beneath I have added a Section for which I want to add text. The text I am adding runs to around 40 pages or so, and these pages fill with the text as they are supposed to when I paste it in, but only with the layout titled "Section", which is one large column of text on the right with title and text box/graphic on the left. But I need the layout titled "Section Text", which is title at the top left, and two columns of text below. But when I choose this layout ("Section Text") the text I paste in does not appear past the first page, although the pages appear--only problem is, these pages are all blank.
Any ideas?

Hi,
seems you like to link from that very column task_id. Right ?
So suggest to work with a standard SQL in the report (wave the html/link) and then go the column task_id (in th UI) --> edit and go to : LINK and enter page name 75 where you like to link to in the line/fields below (by just using the Search/Popup function to avoid wrong value types) for the task_id on page 75 and you are done.
The entry in the UI will generate the HTML '<'a href= .... to link to the page 75 where you like to work on. Right ?
Hope that assisted.
Bernhard
