IPhoto Book Paper Quality

I have ordered books before from apple and was happy with the results. I am considering ordering a large amount of books from another printing company. I was asked what kind of paper weight/gsm I would like. I have no idea, but was wonder if anyone knew what paper weight/gsm apple used in there books as at least I would have an idea from the books I have already printed and in my hands for reference.
Thanks John T

IPhoto book low quality warning?

I've created an iPhoto book. I'm ready to buy it but I get a warning that some of the photos are too low quality for the type of book I've chosen. Yet all photos were imported at 300dpi and there's no warning on any one photo that the quality is low. How do I determine which photo(s) are the low quality ones?

digital photos do not have a "DPI" until you select a size to print them - See The Myth of DPI for additional information.
someplace in the book you have places a photo which will not be at least 180 dpi when printed at the size frame you placed it in - if you have carefully gone through the book and do not see and low res warnings it is possible that there is a full page photo behind another full page photo - this can make it difficult to find
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.

IPhoto Book Quality

I am interested in hearing about other peoples experiances with the print quality of thier iPhoto 6 books.
I have ordered two iPhoto books, the first about a year and half ago with iPhoto v5 came out spectacularly. The most recent I just received today ordered via iPhot v6. I am not to happy with. It has the following problems...
1. Washed out colors. Several of the photos have distinctly muddled colors. This washed out effect is not consistant and varies from photo to photo.
2. Blurry photos. The printing process has severely blurred some photos as if the print heads of the printer where misaligned.
3. Banding. Several of the photos indicate print banding such that occurs on low end inkjets.
4. Print artifacts. Several pages contain marks and blemishes in the white borders and margins.
I have emailed support asking to retun the book but beyond that does anyone have ideas of things I could do to get a better quality print out? Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I've had very good luck with book but others have experienced what you have to some extent or another. It's probable that your book is a on time error and you should contact Apple and ask for a refund - http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto/customerservice/orderbooks/. Apple has been very good at correcting such problems.
Regarding quality of the books and materials the following is what I received back from Apple regarding an email asking about material and print quality:
I contacted Apple and asked for information that I could pass on. Here's the reply I received from Apple:
"Thank you for contacting the Apple Print Products Customer Service.
I understand that you would like to know the printing process that is used and the color mode the files should be in, so you can better advise users in the iPhoto forum.
iPhoto version 4 or later, allows you to import and print files through the Apple Print Product service as RGB, grayscale, or CMYK color space. JPEG files with RGB color space are recommended for best results.
While iPhoto 2 can import files of various formats, including RGB color, grayscale, and CMYK, this version requires JPEG files with RGB color space when printing photos and books.

Here are some of the technical specifications for the books, cards, and calendars. I hope this gives you an idea about their quality and form.
BOOKS
All iPhoto books are printed using acid-free paper for long-lasting image quality. The photos are printed at a high resolution (300DPI if you use iPhoto 6). There is no external modification--such as sharpening or contrast adjustment--of the photos; what you see in the application is what is printed in the book.
Hardcovers Books

- Medium 6 x 8 inches
- Small 2.6 x 3.5 inches
All of the softcover books have internal pages that are printed on McCoy 100# Text Gloss paper stock. The large softcover book has a white cover (Kromekoteplus Folding Cover, 16 point) with a cutout on the front that reveals the cover-page photo in the book. The covers for the medium and small softcover books have the cover image and title printed directly on the cover. All of the softcover books have a glued binding and feature a thick cover of McCoy 100# Cover Gloss paper stock.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Exporting iphoto book quality

What is the quality of the photos exported to PDF from iphoto? I'm having a professional lab print up my photo book but I would like to select them from iphoto and give them a general idea of layout using the photo book in iphoto. However, I'm concerned about giving them the highest quality photos. It would be much easier to select the photos in iphoto book and burn to disc than finding and exporting.

scubanut:
Are you going to provide the layout to the printer in the form of a pdf of the book?
From what I've gathered iPhoto uses 300 dpi for it's books. If you look at the iPhoto preference file with Pref Setter and search for dpi you can see the settings for the various sizes of books.
There are several good threads on Apple's book quality, materials, etc. I asked Apple about book quality back when iPhoto 6 was the latest version and here's their response to me:
I contacted Apple and asked for information that I could pass on. Here's the reply I received from Apple:

Iphoto printed books paper type?

If you have Apple print one of your iphoto books, a large hard cover book, does anyone know what type of paper they use? I looked through the ordering process but it never gives you the option to change the paper specs (at least I couldn't find that option). So what are the paper specs (weight, type, etc)? And can you change the paper type. Thanks for you help.

I am not familiar with the weight of the paper, but I can tell you that the quality is very impressive. It's a heavy weight paper. Everyone who has looked at the books that I have ordered has asked who the publisher was. Last week, I had to show an image to a professional photo lab and the owner was amazed at the quality that Apple produces. This was a book filled with fine art and the repro was great. It does help if you have the correct resolution and Photoshop CS2 to get the best results.

PDF Preview quality is horrible for iPhoto book!

I created an 82 page iphoto book with several photos and some text and when I preview the order in PDF the quality is distored in various ways every time I try it! I even did a software update and reconfigured iphoto! And the problem then is that this PDF quality is what is meant to be your final product once it is ordered!

Boot into Safe Mode and try again.

Giving Apple Feedback on poor quality printing of iPhoto Books

Hi,
I just filled out the feedback form to let Apple know I am not happy with quality of new printing on iPhoto Books. As I know I am not alone, and many people on this board have posted their frustration and disappointment, please post and give Apple feedback so we can hopefully get better books.

Iphoto books have received bad raps years ago... is it still risky business. Are the pages glossy? matte? quality ok?

after reading negative posts concerning iphoto books I wonder if the service has improved?

Guess only you can answer that - I see the comments here being overwhelmingly positive - and that is amazing on a forum devoted to problems rather than successes
All of mine have been great

Print quality / resolution for iPhoto books

Hi -
I am getting ready to upload my first iPhoto book for printing, and a colleague told me to beware of a potential issue. After searching these forums, and searching Google, I found that people in the past (perhaps prior to iPhoto '08?) have had print quality problems when printing 8.5 x 11 books vs. 6x10 books.
Basically, we are creating an 8.5 x 11 book and will have several books printed by Apple. At some point in the future, we will make similar books at the 6x10 size. Will the photos that are included in the books print at similar quality?
Thanks -

I have ordered books in the past that were made up of photos 1600 x 1200 pixels in dimension and they came out fine. HOWEVER, I had no pages with a photo filling the entire page as Larry warned about.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current.

Decline in quality in small iPhoto book?

Up until this year, I've always been really happy with the books that I've ordered from Apple. I typically do two small iPhotos books each year with photos of my daughter. Back in March, I had problems with my Fall/Winter book. The bindings were defective. In some places, the pages had glue on them. In others, the binding seemed to "crack" and peel away from the pages. I received very good customer service and had the books reprinted (several times), but they were never as well-made as they had been in previous years. I recently printed my Spring/Summer book and have similar issues with the bindings. On my first batch, the binding seemed too thick--that is, about a half inch of my picture was lost in the center binding. I wasn't happy about it but figured that maybe that was the only way the printer could get these little books to stay together. I needed a few more copies of the book, so I ordered three more. These copies had the opposite problem--like my Fall/Winter books, these books didn't seem to have enough glue/binding. As I opened them, the binding seemed to crack and peel away from the pages. I'm concerned that the pages will fall out over time. Again, Apple customer service was excellent, and the books were reprinted for free. Has anyone else had similar quality problems with the small books? Back in March, I sent copies of the defective books back to Apple so they could see the problem, but the situation doesn't seem to have improved. I'm so bummed, because I love these little books. Any suggestions?

1. no, the first image is specs for the 2 combined files after output from FCPX (not the original motion file). one of the two original files is:
2. Media Inspector is this: http://mediainspector.massanti.com the Mac full report file analyzer. it calls the final output file (not from motion, but from FCPX after the project has been made with the 720x480 import from Motion used as it's default event, the two (one of which is referenced above) files imported as PR422, paired and exported as h.264:
3. no, the "try again..." file is not from Motion. I made a 720x480 from Motion to use as default event. Made a 720x480 Anamorphic project in FCPX, added the two files i've been calling 704x480 (but which now that i look at the top pic i guess are 640x480), crop their sides (but not top/bottom!) to fit neatly side by side, and export in h.264 last named "try again... etc".
objective: determine why the paired PR422 files look like crap exported in h.264 as opposed to just one singular one exported in h.264.

Digital Camera for great iPhoto book quality

I want to start making iPhoto books, calendars, and cards and was looking to buy a new digital camera in order to do this. I was wondering how many megapixels I should get in order to ensure high quality pictures when I have the books printed out.
Thanks

..... Be happy with your budget. I had a nice Canon that sold for under $300, as I recall. My pictures and videos came out looking wonderful, I feel. (So did others) Unfortunately, it was eventually ruined, by my very hard use under awful weather conditions. I wasn't always careful. It just went off to recycling heaven.
Shooting nature shots, I must say that I did see other people's pictures that were better than mine. Gosh knows how much those big cameras with telephoto lenses and super-fast shooting cost.
Those cameras are almost unfair competition, since these people could simply put the camera on auto, aim at a moving subject and start shooting multiple pics per second. Of course one of them would catch this or that bird in flight with a fish in its mouth, for example. Fantastic Picture! Yet, it was the camera that made the pic, not the photographer, IMHO.
Eventually, I just called them nature paarazzi, and enjoyed myself despite some rude laughter at my real mistakes. Still is fun. Some photographers are just cruel, but that's different story.

Changing quality of iphoto books

some time ago i asked here to change the dpi number in iphoto pref file to get a better quality for iphoto books..
someone suggested me an application to dit that file,but now I can't remeber its name..can u tell me the name of thi app?
probably it was something like pref setter..but I could remember bad

Hello, Lorenzo,
It IS Pref setter. You can look through this thread for more details: Nick LDN, "Editing the .plist - better books..?", 02:52pm Mar 1, 2005 CDT

Binding Quality of Hardcover iPhoto Books

I'm interested to hear of the experiences of other iPhoto users with the new hardcover iPhoto books. I just received a new hardcover book I made for my wife. The book looks beautiful and the printing is great. However, the binding seems to be a little flimsy, with the back flyleaf pulling away from the cover. Since this is all that holds the pages between the covers, I'm concerned that the pages may eventually fall out. The last time I ordered a hardcover book from Apple was in 2003, and that book had cloth-covered boards and the binding system seemed much sturdier.
I am currently working on a large iPhoto book that will contain even more pages (more than 50 double-sided sheets) than the one I just received. This is to be a Christmas gift for a relative and I want to order it with a hardcover. However, if the binding is unreliable, I would consider a spiral-bound version instead.
Does anyone here have an opinion about Apple's hardcover binding?

Michael
Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums.
I am happy with the binding - I have books from both iPhoto '08 and '09 and have had no problems with either - if your binding is unacceptable I'm sure Apple will correct it - http://www.apple.com/support/photoservices/returns/
I've not seen a single post here about pages falling out since I've been involved - do a search of the forum to verify for yourself

IPhoto books archival???

Color photographs I took 20 years ago are now fading and turning yellow in my albums while the black and white pictures in my grandmother's scrapbooks look just fine.
Does anyone know how long iPhoto books last?
Will my kids be able to show them to their grandchildren 50 years from now?

mackirk:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There was a couple of threads a while back with some info on the archival quality of the paper, etc. used in the books. Do a search for book, paper qualtiy, archival, and see if you can find them.
On another note, I make an iDVD slideshow of each of the books pages with iDVD, burn the iDVD project and include it with each book. It makes a nice additional gift and a good way for a group to view the book at one time. Here's how I do it.
1 - with the book complete and open in iPhoto type Control-P.
2 - in the Print window click on the PDF button and select the "Send PDF to iPhoto" option.
3 - the Automator workflow will start. You may need to close all windows so the automator window that asks you to select an existing album in iPhoto to add the page files to or create a new album will be visible. At times it does not come to the forefront and you might think nothing is happening.
4 - when the aforementioned window comes up select or create an album and click continue.
5 - in iPhoto there will be a new album with a jpg file for each page of the book including the cover.
6 - open iDVD, select a theme and in the top menu create a slideshow.
7 - open the slideshow window and go to the Media/photos pane.
8 - select the album in iPhoto with the book pages and drag into the slideshow organization window on the left.
9 - select your transition, music to add, any titles or comments you might want to add and generally finish off the iDVD project.
I was very favorably impressed with the resulting iDVD the first time I tried it. It's a way to give a "copy" of the book to several recipients.

Iphoto books -- color management & sharpening

I have recently decided to try to print photos from a trip to New Zealand as an Apple iPhoto photo book. (I am using the latest version of iPhoto 6.XXXX.) I have a few basic questions that I'm having a hard time confirming answers to: (1) I read on a discussion forum somewhere (not sure where) that iphoto photo books are color managed to sRGB color space. Can anyone confirm this? (2) To keep my photos in sRGB, I am saving them from Photoshop as sRGB files. When I import the images into iPhoto to make a photo book, I am pointing to them only, rather than having the files recopied into the iPhoto database (save space on my hard drive). I assume this should work to preserve sRGB color space? (3) I do not plan on making any edits of photos in iPhoto itself, although some will presumably be resized by the program given that they will exceed 300 dpi. (4) For sharpening, I plan on saving all my files at 300 dpi and sharpening based on an 11" print. (I'm going to print an 8 1/2" x 11" book.) For photos that are smaller than full page size (i.e., 2 or more photos per page), I assume they'll get downsized in iPhoto, so sharpening won't be perfectly maximized, but this should work pretty well, I hope? Any other suggestions/tips about a work flow? I looked at Amazon for an instruction book on iphoto but the only one I found (the "missing manual" by pogue), only has part of a chapter devoted to iphoto books. If someone tells me that this book, or another, will answer all of these types of questions, I'll buy it. Oh yeah, one more question, is there different quality paper used in the single side photo books vs. double sided photo books (both hardcover). From what I could tell, the single sided paper must be thicker because it permits less photos per page. Any other differences? Thanks in advance, Howard

Howard:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Apple does prefer the sRGB color space. As far as dpi, just provide the largest pixel dimension file possible. If you want the files to fit the frames in each page exactly the crop to the 4:3 ratio beforehand. However, you can use non 4:3 files. If one is added to a frame it will be scaled to fill the frame, losing some of the image on the larger side. To get the entire photo in the frame Control-click on it and select the Fit photo to frame option.
I believe the same paper is used for single or double sided. Here's what Apple sent me regarding book materials and quality:
I contacted Apple and asked for information that I could pass on. Here's the reply I received from Apple:
Thank you for contacting the Apple Print Products Customer Service.
I understand that you would like to know the printing process that is used and the color mode the files should be in, so you can better advise users in the iPhoto forum.
