IPhoto 5.0.4-Bookcover, page design and file titles

I am putting together my first iPhoto book and am about ready to send it in. I have made all my pages in Photoshop CS2 and Photoshop Elements. They are all 10 x 8 inches and I want to publish a book with 50 pages-all with one photo per page.
Cover-We do not want to use the Caption area as our cover picture has our caption built into our 10 x 8 format. Do I need to resize my picture before I download to iPhoto or will my 10 x 8 be resized at iPhoto to fit when it is placed in its spot? I do not want any other captioning in a separate box.
Title Page-The Folio theme shows two text boxes available for the title Page. If what I want is set in the 10 x 8 size with all text we want in the "photo", do we need to do anything special for that or will our page work?
Page Design-After looking at all the themes we thought Folio would work for us. We do not want a problem with the inside edges bleeding too far into the binding and cutting off part of our text or photos. Have we left enough to compensate for that by using the margins that we have? Is Folio the Theme that will give us the iffect we want?
I was cautioned by a friend that I should be wary of using page titles that have dashes and slashes etc. in them as those symbols may cause issues with file recoginition. Advised to start using the underscore and not use spaces, etc...
Is this something I should fix before I send to iPhoto?
thank you for being there...I would like to be able to send this in by tomorrow morning.

Chesley:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. In regards to the Cover, even though you don't put any text into the Cover text box that area will just be blank on the cover. Your photo will not expand to cover the entire photo area.
The same holds true for the photo layout. The text boxes will be blank but the photos will not expand greater than the frame that's provided for the photo. Regarding size, it's recommended that the photos be in the 4:3 ratio for best fit into the frames provided on the pages. You can try the 8x10 and see if any gets cut off by the difference in size ratio.
Regarding text, if you're putting your text into the jpg files for inclusion they the use of special characters should not be an issue. It's only when you use them in the title boxes.
Before you order I suggest you go thru the order process but stop after the book has been assembled. Then follow these steps to find and copy the pdf file that iPhoto creates for uploading and printing. You can check the pdf file for placement, bleed, etc. On the large books that I ordered that pdf file had the layout marks included.
How to Find the iPhoto Generated PDF File:
1 - Start the ordering process and stop after the book has been assembled and you get to the Order pane where you select the cover color, copies, etc.
2 - Go to the Finder and select the Go->Go to Folder menu item (CommandShiftG).
3 - copy the following, “/private/var/tmp/folders.501/TemporaryItems/iPhoto” (for Panther the path is ‘/private/tmp/501/TemporaryItems/iPhoto“), and paste into the Go to Folder search box.
4 - the iPhoto folder will be brought up. In it will be the PDF file that was generated by iPhoto. You can copy it (Option-drag) to the Desktop to review and/or save.
Note: the iPhoto folder will not exist before you start the ordering process and is deleted after the order is completed or after you cancel the order and quit iPhoto.
Good luck.

Blog pages design and RSS thread

Is there a way to change the graphic look of the Blog pages (managing fonts for example)?
Is there a way to insert a RSS thread in pages other than Blog ones?

Is there a way to change the graphic look of the Blog
pages (managing fonts for example)?
You'd think that iWeb would let you change that kind of stuff easily, but it doesn't. In order to change any of the formatting of the Blog template pages, you'll have to delve into the XML and/or CSS underpinnings of the templates or published pages. Here's a discussion thread in which Suzanne Boben explains some of the techniques...

As theshow mentions, your RSS feed really is just a URL, and as such, you can insert it as a hyperlink anywhere on your pages using the Inspector Hyperlink tool. But I'm guessing that you want a little more than this... You might take a look at this page...

I Photo Book Design and File Sizes??

I Photo ? for any photo buffs out there-- I cant find what the largest file size i can import for an iphoto book-
Also--i am making my own photo page using another program and then I guess i will then import them to iPhoto so i can import them to a book-
also-- when it says ful page bleed-- it appears that iphoto still puts a grey border around--thus making your photo page smaller-- any work arounds this??
I want all my pages to have photo end to end-- complete bleed to the page edges -Thanks for any --All Help!! T Hopkins
I have Lion operating system-- do not see it as a choice to select here either?

From what I've observed in my books full bleed was just that. Have you checked out a sample book at your nearest Apple store?
The page dimensions are 8.5 x 11 for the standard, hard cover book. Photos should have the sRGB color profile (NOT the Adobe RGB profile). Since iPhoto creates a pdf of the book at 300 dpi for uploading and printing photos don't need to have a dpi resolution any higher than that.
An easy way to get the page from a 3rd party app into iPhoto would be to do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto. This will create a jpg file of the page and import it into iPhoto. If you don't have the Save PDF to iPhoto option in the PDF menu you can download the file, a 300 dpi version, Save PDF to iPhoto 300 DPI.workflow from Toad's Cellar and place it in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder.

No longer able to print 5x7 on half page..and/ File shrink?

Hi,
I'd like to print a 5x7 sized photo/file on letter-sized (8.5x11) photo paper to use only half of the sheet.
I used to do this all the time in my old PSE2 program (I've only recently updated from 2 to PSE9). From that older print dialog box, in the little preview pane I was able to move the photo up/down/side-to-side (wherever I wished) and in the final print-out it would be prescisely where I placed it , saving space on the paper for a second print. Apparently this is no longer possible in the newer versions...? In PSE9 my print keeps coming out half printed, no matter what I ticked (landscape/port) or how I placed it.
Question: Is this no longer possible to do in the newer versions?
I tried working around this by creating a new file in the PSE9 editor and moving the orig 5x7 file into that one--via select-all>edit>copy and then pasting the 5x7 into the newly created 8.5x11 file...however the 5x7 did not retain its dimensions when placed into the 8.5x11 space. Maybe I could "resize" the layer? (if that possible?)
Question: What is causing the orig 5x7 to shrink to 4x5.6 when copied to the new file?
Thanks much for any enlighting

My Pages templates and files are corrupted, possibly arising from corrupted font files. What do I do?

This coincided with 'missing files' in individual files downloaded from my iCloud. Should I un-install the software and buy it again? (I downloaded from web site and don't have original disks.)

Thanks, Peter. I did think of simply changing the template, but at the time all my existing files were rendered illegible, so I'd have had to change the fonts for every style in every document I used. However thanks to your help I've resolved it, enabling Cambria for all users and then I re-started the computer. The problem might have been caused by my re-installation of Office for Mac after moving everything to a new hard disk. I shall do some more work following your tip regarding encoding a document for Unicode. Thanks again.

Can you help me with Page Layout and/or Design ideas for a software manual?

Greetings,
I am a new InDesign user, and am converting a software manual that I created in MS Word into InDesign. It will be converted to a pdf to view online. I have the basics (3 master pages, page numbers, running headers, 2column pages with text boxes on the left and screenshots on the right), but I want to make it look prettier. Could you please give me some ideas on page layout and/or design to make it look better or more creative?
A few things that I am considering: borders around screenshots, a watermark, a logo next to the page numbers, different size/type of fonts, etc.
I am open to any suggestions to make this look better. However, please understand that I am new to InDesign. With that being said, please tell me a few steps when you mention your tips. Thank you!

Take a look at a few websites on Cannons of Page Construction.
I think the best idea for you is to look at a few software manuals and take tips from how they accomplished the layouts.
I'm not saying to copy them - but rather see what works and doesn't work, what worked for them might not necessarily work for you - research some layouts.
Fonts/type/sizes etc. are pretty much ambigious without context - is this a software manual for kids (soft cuddly big fonts easy to read), technical (small, tight spacing etc), Adult friendly (smooth, crisp clear, well spaced), elderly (large elegant fonts).
It all really depends on your demographic audience.
Being new to InDesign I suggest you take up Sandy Cohens Quickstart Visual Guide.
I think you should look at Michael Murphys Book on Styles
And you should definitely get your printer (the guys bulk printing) the booklet for you on board from the start to work out optimal sizes to suit their printing presses and workflow etc. And to ensure that you are setup correctly in page sizes, margins, safe type areas, colour profiles and a few other things that your printers prepress can help you with.

Page designer show small view when using page template and cannot be run

Dear Experts,
I need to make some page templates.
I have build 2 simple page templates, let say template0 & template1 which template1 using template0.
It show no any problem until I close my Jdeveloper & reopen it.
When I reopen template1, it show so small in designer (Jdeveloper window).
Is there any wrong?
I have build another template, just 1 template.
When I used it at the first time, no any strange behavior occur.
After ... (I don't exactly when), it give me the same view in my designer.
Then I force to use my first tempate (template1 which used template0 inside), I cannot run my application at all.
After wait several minutes, I found error log in my log messages.
*#### Server Instance DefaultServer could not be started: Server Instance was terminated.*
Above the message, I found another error messages:

Is there anyone that can help me to find out why this error occured?

Hi...
Thanks for asking....
As I put in my post before, I include template0 in my template1, as seen in template1 (AHM001):
<af:pageTemplateDef var="attrs">
*<af:pageTemplate viewId="/template/AHM000.jspx">*
I use AHM000 inside AHM001. I use this approach to build many template based on one basic design.
Actually, I don't think the problem is in page template usage because as I submitted paralel to Metalink, I've already not called template0 in template1 but I copy template0's contents to template1.
Unfortunately, page designer show small view and below error messages still occured.

Apex 5 Page Designer Suggestion and Bug

Hi Apex Team,
I would like to make a suggestion and report a bug related to the Page Designer.
1. When editing the properties of an item on the Page Designer, there are two “CSS Classes” options, one under Appearance and another under Advanced (Show All options). My guess is they refer to the Item CSS Classes and HTML Form Element CSS Classes from the Component/Tree View; but this is not obvious for someone that comes new to Apex straight to the Page Designer. I would suggest renaming one of them with a more meaningful name to remove ambiguity.
2. On the same item’s property on the Page Designer, by going to the List of Values Icon (^) of the CSS Classes or Custom Attributes, after the popup window opens, by clicking twice on the Go (>) button, the results are quadruplicated, even worse by quickly clicking multiple times. This does not happen for the Format Mask popup window.
Thank you,
Erick

Hi Gerald,
Saving the pivot view as primary default report works fine. When you defined the pivot, did you save the setting as primary default settings (Actions > Save Report > Save As Default Report Settings, select primary)? Once you save, the report will display in pivot view when you come back to the page or reset the report. If there is still an issue, please let me know the reproducible steps.
Regards,
Christina

My Website Design and Pages in the iWeb Application has all Disappeared?

Hello,
Last time I uploaded to my website I pressed save as always. Now when I open iWeb (Version 1.1.2) my design and the web pages I created are all gone and it asks me to choose a template as if this is the first time I have used the Application iWeb.
My website is still on-line. How can I correct this? Does it have something to do with the MobileMe fiasco?
Thanks Rock

Rock ~ Perhaps. To use MobileMe, the version of OS X you indicate you are using (10.4.10) needs to be upgraded to 10.4.11. See this _.Mac to MobileMe transition FAQ_. ...Run +Software Update+ and you may also get an iWeb update.
It sounds like iWeb cannot find its Domain file, normally located in the +~/Library/Application Support/iWeb+ folder. Have you moved it, or made any major changes to your Mac?
If you've been prudently making backup copies of iWeb's domain file as described HERE, you could try double-clicking on that backup copy and see if it opens up the last backup version of your sites.
"iWeb stores everything in a Domain file, normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder (although it can be moved). If you no longer have this file, you can view your currently published pages and manually recreate them within iWeb, but there is no way to import published pages back into iWeb. You can manually back up the Domain file, or use Backup to back it up."

Masters not applying to pages, discrepancy between design and preview mode

Hi there,
I am having a crazy time with Muse, please please help me... I see some of you have looked at the post, but no help yet. Please don't let me down. SOOO confused!
1) Master pages are not fully applying to the pages I assign, only parts of them.
Above you can see that the sub-pages and the "WORK" page all have the C-Master applied to them, but then you look at one of those pages and not all of the features are there.
Above is the C-Master page
Above is one of those sub-pages (coffee tables) with the C-master applied, yet the navigation menu is missing!?!?
2) Also the formatting is completely on the third image is completely wrong. There is extra space at the bottom of the page and yet I cannot move the page toggles to be the same as it is on the master. These formatting/margin/page size issues run throughout my pages and I cannot get them to all be the same! HELP!
3) The page looks different in the design mode than it does in the preview mode.
I am so confused and have gone through this from scratch once before thinking I did something wrong but I have had the same result.
Please help me!!!
Thank you!!
- Carly

Hi Parikshit,
The sticky footer sounded promising, but it didn't change anything. I still can't move those bottom toggles to be at the desired ruler mark.
As for the margins... Its my understanding that whatever you have in a master page will be applied to the pages you assign, but the content and spacing is different. There is no content that would push the page to extend further down, which I have seen done before. And because I cannot individually move the toggles I have no way of adjusting the spacing. I am going for a seamless look between pages, where the size and content of the page remains the same while the images in my portfolio change.
Even if I go to Page > Page Properies and try to enter the correct numbers, it still doesn't affect the page.
Does that clarify?
Also, I am running 7.1 on a Mac OS 10.9...does that have something to do with it?
Thank you so much for responding!

IWeb 09, Pages 09, and Keynote 09 can't load iPhoto images in media browser

Ever since yesterday, my iWeb 09, Pages 09, and Keynote 09 have been experiencing problems loading iPhoto 09 images in the media browser. I have no problems loading my audio files, movie files, and widgets, but when it comes to iPhoto picture files, the system just hangs. Luckily, it doesn't crash; it just says "Loading iPhoto images" forever.
I'm guessing that the problem is with iPhoto 09, because the media browser has no problems loading my Aperture picture files.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can get iWeb, Pages, and Keynote to load my iPhoto pics in the media browser?
Thanks!

1. Quit iPhoto.
2. Go to your Pictures Folder (or where ever you have your Library) and find the iPhoto Library there (Your Donor Library).
3. Right Click on it, and from the resulting menu select ‘Show Package Contents’. A Finder window will open and the Library will be exposed.
4. Find the following files
AlbumData.xml
AlbumData2.xml
and move them to the desktop.
5. Close up the Library and restart iPhoto. This will force iPhoto to rebuild those files which are key to sharing.
Then restart the other apps and see does that help.
By the way: where is your Library? On the Start Up Disk? On an external?
Regards
