IPhoto 09 - limited print sizes

Hi,
I'd like to order print sizes larger than 8"x12" (the largest available via the Order print dialog). It seems my options are limited because of my UK billing address (glasgow, scotland) acording to the dialog. Is there any way that I could order larger print sizes from somewhere else and pay the additional postage?
cheers all
Gerry

  • Why Does iPhoto 08 Crop Print Outs ???

    Hi. I would appreciate a little help here.
    I am trying to print out some 8" x 10" photos with borders, in landscape paper orientation, using an Intel Dual Core iMac, Mac OS 10.4.11, iPhoto 08 ver 7.1.2, approved HP Printer and HP Driver, on 8 1/2" x 11" HP Premium Photo Paper, at maximum dpi.
    File resolutions are generally:
    1600 x 1200 (2 Mega Pixels, 4:3 image aspect ratio, 395 KB file size),
    2048 x 1536 (3 Mega Pixels, 4:3 image aspect ratio, 790 KB file size),
    2560 x 1920 (5 Mega Pixels, 4:3 image aspect ratio, 2.2 MB file size), and
    3264 x 2448 (8 Mega Pixels, 4:3 image aspect ratio, 3.6 MB file size).
    The problem I'm having is that iPhoto prints the photo by cropping approx 1/4" off the left side and 1/2" off the right side of the screen image without indicating there will be any loss of image content. The screen image DOES NOT accurately reflect the printed image.
    Like most people that take pictures, I frame the shots the way I wanted the picture to look. In a picture of a family reunion the person on the far left would have half his head and body chopped off (missing) while the person on the far right would be totally cut out (missing). What I see on the screen IS NOT what I get when printed out. And of course, it does this consistently without warning. Why?
    I would accept uneven borders, but want the entire picture to print. Something I would have thought to be the default settings for iPhoto when printing "with borders." Foolish me.
    I understand some cropping might have to take place when printing "border-less" printouts, but not for those "with borders." There out to be a law against doing this without conscent.
    HP PhotoSmart will do this for me, but it's rather a hassle to have to transfer pictures over each time I want a satisfactory print out.
    How do I get my pictures in iPhoto 08 to print out "entirely?" Dare I say "normally?"
    Have tried many settings changes in iPhoto and Preview to no avail.
    Please help.

    Hi LarryNH,
    Thanks for your timely reply.
    Ok, let's do the math. What the heck?
    Pick out a photo in your iPhoto library that you can view and print out in Landscape View.
    Preferably a photo that you can instantly recognize the border changes in, or with rulers or grid lines. If possible, let's make it an image with a 4:3 ratio too.
    Chances are you will be able to see the entire photo on your screen — even though your screen mostly likely is not one with a 4:3 image aspect ratio (pixel Width divided by pixel Height). Hmmmmmm.
    Now print out the photo using iPhoto 08, letter paper size with borders. (Save yourself some ink by choosing the lowest dpi or fast printing)
    For me, actual image size was 10 1/16 "W by 8 1/4 "H. The letter paper size print out has a 5/16 " border on the left and a 5/8 " border on the right (not centered, even though it's supposed to be). Both top and botton borders measure 1/8 " (centered, like its supposed to be).
    Notice any chopping off of the image on the left and right sides when compared to the screen image? Hmmmmm.
    When I print the same photo using HP PhotoSmart
    For me, the actual image size is somewhat smaller: 9 13/16 "W by 8 3/8 "H. The letter paper size print out has a 9/16 " border on the left and a 10/16 " border on the right (approximately centered). The top border is 1/2 " and the botton border ise 9/16 " (again, approximately centered). BUT MOST IMPORTANT, the image of the photo I see on the screen is "entirely" present on the print out.
    The original photo has a 4:3 (or 1.3333) image ratio (4 divided by 3).
    Apple is printing out an incomplete horizontally uncentered image with a 1.2197 ratio (10 1/16 "W divided 8 1/4 "H).
    HP PhotoSmart is printing out a complete image with a 1.1716 ratio (9 13/16 "W divided by 8 3/8 "H), but at least it is a complete image and it is approximately centered.
    Besides Larry, I bought a Mac. I shouldn't have to do the physics and math. Apple should be, thus making life easier for you and me. I hope they're listening.
    I have been totally unable to coax a complete image out of iPhoto, let alone one properly centered.
    I have been trying to print photos from Events. I'm going to try one from Albums next.
    If you find a work around in iPhoto, please let me know. With borders it is do-able, as HP PhotoSmart has proven. I just wish iPhoto could do the same.

  • Unable to upload iPhoto book to print from iPad

    I have been unable to upload my iPhoto book to print it from my iPad...
    It will go through the process of requesting apple ID password --> verifying my credit card --> then will say "placing order. uploading project"  and look like it is uploading (ie blue bar showing progress) and sometimes this is progressing for hours, but then the app will crash and close down.
    Things I've tried/confirmed so far:  I have the up to date versions of iOS and iPhoto, I have it connected to wi-fi and plugged in, I have closed down all other apps on the iPad
    Has anyone else had this issue? Any solutions?
    Is there a way to upload it from my computer instead? -- I have a PC but have been unable to find the 'book' or photos in iTunes or elsewhere on the computer to even try this...
    Thanks for any help!

    You have covered most issues, but you do not mention how much free memory you are having on your iPad. Submitting a book for printing need plenty of free memory on your iPad, about the same amount as the combined size of your photos. Could it be, that you are running out of memory?
    Another reason might be an unprintable, corrupted photo in your book.
    Is there a way to upload it from my computer instead? -- I have a PC but have been unable to find the 'book' or photos in iTunes or elsewhere on the computer to even try this...
    To order a photo book from Apple you need an Apple computer or an iOS device.
    To transfer the photos to your PC see:

  • IPhoto/viewing issues with size on some, not all, photos.

    HELP!
    When creating an iPhoto slideshow, I have found certain photos appear too large when "played".  The photo is seen as a part and  cut short to the viewer.  So far my unsuccessful attempts have been:
    Cropped  (slide is cut down but returns to original dimensions and becomes blurry).
    Exported to apps. PhotoShop and Preview and "Resized".  Remains in the original dimensions with a smaller version in the middle with a large border of white.
    Imported as a different size.
    Reduced printing size.
    The problem is how do I reduce the size of the photo without loosing the quality and is viewed in its' entirety?Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • No print size choices like old version

    With the old version of iphoto I was able to print 4 small pictures or 2 medium size picture on a 6*4 size photo but i cant seem to be able to do this with the old version..

    You should be able to select the photos you want to print, click print and in the lower right hand art of the print screen select paper as 8 1/2 x 11 and prints as 4x6 (giving you two up) or some other standard size.
    Alternatively you can set the paper as 8 1/2 x 11 there and the print size as standard or 8 x 10, click print and on the next screen click advanced and in the middle list select layout and 2 up or 4 up - if you want you can now print or click preview to see the layout and then print from Preview.

  • IPhoto suddenly not printing four 6x4 borderless prints on A4

    Hi! iPhoto 11 has suddenly stopped printing four 6x4 borderless prints on one sheet of A4. If I set the print size to 3x5 I can see all four prints on the A4 preview but when I change print size to 4x6 only two prints appear on the preview, in the middle with alot of white around them.  I have tried changing the paper size and print size, borders and the settings from the little cog wheel symbol etc.. I am either missing something or there has been a change that now prevents me doing this. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions. Thanks

    Yes - do the math
    A4
    297 x 210 mm
    11.7 x 8.3 in
    Four 4x6" images are going to be 8x12" (plus some border) or 6x16" (plus some borders) - it is not possible to fit 12" of image on 11.7 inches of paper - and never has been - nothing has changed - the laws of physics still apply exactly as they always have

  • Controlling Print Size

    This may seem like a really stupid basic question--but, when printing from the Mac, shouldn't there be SOME way to control the size of the final image, be it picture or text, on the paper? I can find "Print Preview" to look at it, but can't find ANY setting, ANYwhere to change it--it just prints a thing whatever size it happens to come up! Thanks for any guidance!

    Cornelia,
    Also...
    You can change the print sizes of images in iPhoto's print dialogue box.
    You can modify type sizes if they're too large...launch TextEdit, for example, then press cmd+tab to bring up the Fonts menu, where you can modify the font size, etc. You can also scale the fonts using the Format option in the TextEdit Menubar.

  • Print size changing

    IPhoto keeps changing the size of the prints in my order at the checkout. I select 5(20X25) and when I check out it becomes 5(50X76), and my price goes from $5.00 to over $800 sometimes! Help Please!

    I think all you need to do is "Process multiple files". Here is what I would do:
    Put all my files to a folder.
    Go to File>Process Multiple Files
    Use File option as Process from:
    check the resize image and input your desired dimension in inches. I would change the resolution setting to 300 so that it remain good enough for printing.
    Please let us know if it works for you

  • Controlling print sizes

    I routinely print from iPhoto 09 (ver 8.1) 4 pictures per page on my Epson.
    I want the pictures as large as possible, but NOT cropped.
    I chose a print size of 3x5 in order to get 4 per page.
    When I control click on a photo in the print window, I am able to eliminate cropping.
    There are just two problems:
    1) This is laborious, since I have to do it 4 times for each of many pages; and
    2) I would like to reduce the white space and enlarge the prints.
    Can anyone solve one or both of these problems?
    (Oh, and this was not a problem with previous versions of iPhoto.)
    Thanks!

    Then make the photo sizes in the same ratio as your digital photos and they will fit without cropping or using fit to frame - typically for point and shoot camera's the ratio is 4;3 and DSLRs 3:2
    2) I would like to reduce the white space and enlarge the prints.
    I have not seen any documentation on this - unless someone else has experimented with this and posts you will have to do it by expermentation

  • Scanning Slides for Printing by 3rd Party: Maximum Print Size Wanted

    I am wanting to license a series of vintage slides via my Zazzle.com store. The images scanned from the slides would be printed on the various products that they sell. Ideally I am looking to obtain the maximum resulting image size in the hopes of offering some of the designs on smaller sized posters. Some of the images were taken with everyday cameras while others were taken with expensive cameras such as a Zeiss Contarex so am guessing the film grain quality is going to vary although all are mounted in standard slide frames.
    I wanting to scan slides, or have slides scanned, into a lossless format such as tiff for archiving purposes, which would then be copied and opened inside photoshop and illustrator. I also have negatives from box cameras and similar older materials, but want to tackle the slides first.
    From reading the posts here the two main strategies appear to be:
    1. Do it yourself:
    I've read various posts that say this may take a specialized scanner costing $2,000, while others claim a Epson V500 does just as good of job - of course I wondering if the person using the Epson is wanting to print commercial products from the designs.
    What machines are recommended for use with Lion?
    Also there appears to be a debate about the best software, such as Digital Ice or VueScan? Any suggestions?
    2. Hire a 3rd party service:
    One main concern here is the items could get lost.
    The other major concern is how good are the resulting slides going to be. I've looked at various 3rd party sites that offer scanning and each appears to offer a differing opinion as to what dpi should be used. I understand that at a certain point a higher dpi setting is not going to obtain any further helpful information from the slide, but what exactly is the maximum setting that I should be shooting for? I see services offering 4,000 dpi, yet some of the dedicated slide scanners can go much higher so I am wondering if these services are just wanting to use the lower dpi to save on the resulting image size as opposed to obtaining the maximum print size?

    Kappy, How do you do it with iPhoto?
    CMCSK, For some reason, against my expectations, iWorks or Pages was nowhere to be found. I "spotlighted" them after failing to find them in the applications folder. I did not think to look for Microsoft Word Trial Version on the Mac. I doubted it would be there because Apple has Pages and Numbers. I'll check later, but I guess I also want to know how to do it without trial software.
    Kenichi Watanabe, Scaling only allows me to change the size, but not the position of the image. Halfway there!
    RothRock, After clicking the arrow, I get many options, including scaling, but I can't find any positioning option (other than just the Centre option).
    Does anybody know how to scale and position? I'm going to try iPhoto some more. Something as simple as positioning for printing shouldn't be this hard to find.

  • Selected print size will not fit current paper size

    I am new to iPhoto and I keep getting the following message when I try to print at home - "selected print size will not fit current paper size" - I don't understand this. I am printing to 4x6 photo paper. I have chose 4x6 under paper and I have chosen 4x6 under print. It seems to want to fit the photo horizontally instead of vertically - I can work around this by choosing to print 3x5 onto 4x6 paper, but then the border is quite large.
    I hope this makes sense.
    Thanks for any help regarding this issue.

    Does your printer driver support 4x6 borderless printing?
    You have to make sure your printer has a borderless driver ( the Epsons have two, a regular and one with Borderless-sheet feeder in the title and both must be installed and selectable under the Printer menu. If it's a Canon then you must be sure you select 4x6 borderless under the Paper size. Here's a step by step workflow you can try:
    Steps for printing 4 x 6 prints from iPhoto:
    crop the photo to 4 x 6 in iPhoto.
    select the picture you want to print and type Command-P.
    *click on the Advanced button in iPhoto's print pane.
    *select your Printer and Presets
    *select "Paper Handling" in the Copies & Pages menu.
    *in the Destination Paper Size section select "Scale to fit paper size: and select the paper size in the menu.
    *click on the Standard button.
    in the iPhoto print pane select your printer, Presets and Paper size.
    select Standard Prints under Style.
    select print size in the Size menu and check the "One photo per page: checkbox.
    click on the Print button
    *These steps may be redundant but might correct those situations where the paper size selected in the iPhoto print pane does not seem to take.

  • Print Size different than what is on screen

    I use Elements 9 and print to an Epson 7900, when I have an image 12 1/2" x 18" the actual print size is coming out 12 1/4" x18 any suggestions, It's getting really frustrating......

      Make sure the print resolution is the same as the image resolution. You can check in the Elements Editor: File à Print
    In the print dialog check actual size.
     

  • In CC214 PS Why has adobe removed the "print Size Button"  And why have they made the Brush preview window so small you can't see the effects to accurately adjust them?

    In CC214 PS Why has adobe removed the "print Size Button"  And why have they made the Brush preview window so small you can't see the effects to accurately adjust them?
    These two things need to be remedied in their upgrades because It's become such a bother I've had to revert to older versions of PS.

    Yea, and it's a pain to get to.  What was the rational for removing the print size button?   With the magnifying glass tool selected in older versions of Photoshop you would get a button that says "print size" right next to Actual pixels, Fit Screen, Fill Screen. Now I have to go out of my way and dig for it if I want to see the print size.  Of all the buttons you could have taken away, why not fill screen?  I never use that.
    Besides the point I just downloaded the Oct Upgrade for PS and surprise! Nothing has changed and these are two big black eyes on newer versions of Photoshop.   The Brush preview window is  unchanged in CC but in CC2014 it's basically worthless.  If you apply a texture to a brush you can't properly see the scale of the texture, the spacing, scatter, etc...

  • Is it possible to reorder an iPhoto book 2 years later? My hard drive crashed and the photo book is no longer in my iPhoto but Apple printed it for me before the crash.  Would Apple still be able to print another copy?

    Is it possible to reorder an iPhoto book 2 years later? My hard drive crashed and the photo book is no longer in my iPhoto but Apple printed it for me before the crash.  Would Apple still be able to print another copy?

    For future books you might consider doing what I do:  create a separate library for each book andcopy the photos for the book from your working library to the book library with iPhoto Library Manager. 
    When the book is completed and ordered burn the library package to a CD, DVD or external HD to archive it so it's available for editing and reordering at a later date if needed.
