Iphoto 2.0 to iphoto '08 - printing goes from spot on to dark

Just upgraded a swivel neck imac to a brand new imac and have subsequently gone from iphoto 2.0 to iphoto '08.
Using a Selphy ES1 printer, the photos from the old imac and 2.0 printed fairly accurately (close enough that it doesn't cause complaints). Using the new imac and '08, the prints are now about a stop to a stop and a half too dark, too contrasty, and subsequently over-saturated.
I imagine I'll have to compensate using the Canon driver, but I'm bewildered as to WHY the change in print output. Same driver, same printer, same photos.
Is this a colorsync issue? That's the only thing I can think of off the top of my head.
Any help/suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

(I saw your post on luminous landscape as well)
I've just bought a Selphy ES1, and I'm also finding it way too dark in printing, regardless of which application I use for printing, be it iPhoto 6, a recent version of GraphicConverter, Preview or Canon's own ImageBrowser.
Now after reading your post I thought I'd try printing from my old iBook 800MHz, which is also running 10.4. Using Preview (the only imaging app on there at the moment) it also printed dark - in fact even a little darker than the MacBook!
I wonder if this is more of a System/ issue. Your old iMac would have been running 10.3 or 10.2; your new one is, like my two machines, running 10.4.
I don't have a solution yet. I'd be interested to know what settings you use to correct the issue in the Canon driver itself, or if there's a standard filter you apply to the photos in iPhoto or another imaging app.
I've tried using the "Lightness Increase" quartz filter option (presumably from Colorsync), which helps a bit. This seems to work similarly to +1 Brightness in the "Color" settings under "Advanced" in the Print dialog. It's a bit of a blunt instrument though.
Perhaps it'll be something that 10.5 will fix. I want this to "just work"...

Printing problems from iPhoto 6

For some odd reason I just can not print anything from iPhoto 6, it goes through the processes of printing, then brings up the Printer utility as if it's ABOUT to print, but then it fails and the Printer utility simply goes to "Jobs Stopped" without any further details as to WHY it stopped.
I can however print from all other apps, and even saving image to PDF, then print the PDF from Preview works...

Hello--did you ever solve this problem? I am encountering it myself and have not figured out how to solve it. Would appreciate any help.

I can no longer print photos from iPhoto.

When I try to print photos from iPhoto, I get the error message: There were no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed, this feature will be unavailable. The solution offered by iPhoto help is ridiculous as it assumes that you can get past the error message and on to the option to choose a theme. No so. The error message is the end of the road. This is a new problem for me. Apparently there was an automatic update and now I am updated to no longer being able to print my own photos. Apparently (according to traffic on Google) this is not a new issue, but I haven't seen a solution. Can't deny that I am royally ****** off.

Iphoto not printing

I am using iphoto 6.06 for my intel imac. I have been trying to print pictures from iphoto and i keep getting a message that states " the picture you are trying to print is in the iphoto library" what can i do to be able to print a photo from iphoto

I am using iphoto 6.06 for my intel imac. I have been trying to print pictures from iphoto and i keep getting a message that states " unreadable file: the following file could not be imported. the file is in the iphoto library folder" also when i try to print a picture from iphoto i get a message that says "no page was selected"
not sure what happened but i can pnly print when i drop the photo onto my desktop as an 8.5 x 11 size picture and i am trying to print 4x6's

Since the new library gives you the same message log into another user account on your Mac and see if you can run iPhoto without getting that message. If you get that message there also a reinstall of iPhoto seems indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,

Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally and apply all available updates to it.

Iphoto crashes when I try to print - just moved moved iPhoto to my new iMac

I just bought a new iMac and iPhoto crashes when I try to print a picture. I did port all my programs from my old iMac.

Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.

I'm a brand new Mac user. I want to send photos from Iphoto to my local store for printing, like I can do in Picasa. I can't find that option in Iphoto.

I'm a brand new Mac user. I want to send photos from Iphoto to my local store for printing, like I can do in Picasa. I can't find that option in Iphoto. I do not want to order them through Itunes.

I have not idea how you do it with Picasa but with iPhoto you either export the photos to a desktop folder and upload from there or burns that folder to CD - or from the upload window use the media browser in the lower left hand corner of the upload windows - media ==> photos ==> iPhoto

Exporting An iPhoto To Make A LARGE Poster Print

After a bit of work on my photo in Iphoto, I want to get it printed as a poster 30 inches wide by 20 inches tall.
I have read through heaps of FAQs about pix and DPI ... being an old newspaper & magazine man I am fully conversant with Dots Per Inch, but that has little relevance today.
What is the 'best / most efficient' way to export the photo so I can take it to a professional print shop and achieve a pin-sharp poster that looks like it's been taken by an expert?
Specific settings ( Jpeg / TIF ) (Custom ????? px ) would be appreciated.

The easiest method would just to use the Apple online photo service. No exporting required... just select the pict, choose the 20x30 size, and the picture is uploaded.
As for best quality, as already stated, if your original image is a JPG, then all you can do is send the highest rez of that jpg. If you will be doing more posters in the future, you can set your camera to take those picts in raw and then import that raw into iPhoto.
An important point here is that a poster will not be viewed (by the human eye) at close range like a photo, so the dpi can be lower than a normal photo, and it will look just fine from 5ft away.
Again, the painless way to handle this is just to send the highest rez image you have to Apple/Kodak via the built in service in iPhoto. Your poster arrives at your door in a week.

HP Photosart 7520, printing photo from iMac iPhoto, OSX Yosemite 10.10.1 color issues

First time ever tried printing a photo - on HP photo paper, using HP ink cartridges. It prints a color portrait accurately, except for eye glass frames and shadow shades which it prints in "green". I tried editing the same portrait in iPhoto to black and white and printing. Again, accurate shades of black and white except for the eye glass frames & shadow shades which printed in "green". Ruins the photo. Help please.

Hello Artiste,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with some portions of the print outs when printing photos.
Please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
I have also located a document on Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-One Printer Series.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

My iPhone 4s is not importing my latest photos into iPhoto, though it opens iPhoto as if it were going to do it.

My iPhone 4s is not importing my latest photos into iPhoto, though it opens iPhoto as if it were going to do it. When I plug my iPhone into my iMac, it opens iPhoto, but then it does not import my newest photos. Any fixes? This used to work fine.

Sep 13, 2007 3:41 AM (in response to jared57)
I have experienced the exact same thing... I figured out a way around it, which seems to work every time. 1. quit iTunes
2. open iPhoto
3. unplug the iphone usb cable from the computer
4. turn your phone on, and unlock it.
5. plug in the usb cable. after about 10 seconds or so, iPhoto should prompt you with items to import. -p

Iphoto cropping images off page when printing

Hi,
When I select 2 images in iPhoto vertically on one page in portrait, , they show in iPhoto correctly with a border around edges. However, when I hit print, they become landscape, and the top of top image is cropped off page with the bottom of the bottom photo cropped off page too.
I have reviewed all settings with no success.
In the Apple shop they suggested asking on here because they didn't know what the problem was either.
All help gratefully accepted.
It was doing this using OSX and still is with Yosamite.

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder:
User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:

When using iPhoto to buy photo books, is Apple going to take ownership of my photographic material?

Hi,
I like iPhoto for its features and ease of use; however, I'm unclear on its privacy policy.
When using iPhoto to buy photo books, is Apple going to take ownership of my photographic material?
Can Apple use my pictures to advertise Apple products or services?
I've asked these questions twice to the apple privacy postmaster, but they only reply with a boiler plate of links to get further support or they simply ignore my email. Should I assume the worse?
I like iPhoto, but I'm not going to use it if I don't know that my privacy is satisfactorily safeguarded.
Thank you for any insight

Why do i get lines when i print photos from iphoto

does anyone know why i get lines across my photos when i print them from iphoto to my HP printer. Photos are ok when i print from iphone or other? seems to have something to do with Iphoto??

Go to your imports for the last 12 months then click on view>sort photos by date, that should group them together. Click on the first picture in the group, then hold down your shift key then click on the last picture it should select all in between, then delete and empty trash.

Making a print calendar from iPhoto

I am using iphoto to make a print calendar. I chose the "picture calendar" option. After inserting my photos, I noticed that the font size of the month on each page (e.g., January 2015) had become tiny (like 6 pt). How do I adjust that back to the size on the original template?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what fixes have you tried?
As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem with the font persists. Does it?
If it does try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and check again.
NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
