Iphoto book substitute tiffs with jpegs

I prepared an entire book of 100 pages with tiff. images which are very big. The book is ready but I can't save the book as a pdf or see the preview. As soon as it starts saving the program crashes. I figured I need to change all images and convert them in jpegs. Is it possible to export all the images as jpegs, import them back in the program and see them automatically changed in the book?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Using Pref Setter to view/edit preference files the book bleed amount used by iPhoto is 9 (no units). Have no idea how to determine the units but I imagine it a standard unit for the printing industry.

  • IPhoto cannot convert Tiff to Jpeg after editing.

    I have a set of very high resolution scans made on an 11" x 17" Epson scanner that I would like to edit in iPhoto. iPhoto imports these files (which are 450 MB or so in size) (sometimes) allows me to edit them - - and sometimes it crashes when I attempt to edit these files - - but when I attempt to export them as maximum resolution jpegs it says it can't do so. Once I've quit iPhoto and then start it again the edited image disappears when I double click it. My guess is that file is simply too large for iPhoto.

    I Additionally, when I convert the file using the save as command in Preview, I can convert it into a jpeg or jpeg2000 and it is much smaller (71GB for example), but the same anomalous behavior occurs when I finish editing the file and quit iPhoto- - when I double click the thumbnail, the full sized image appears briefly and then disappears. leaving in its place a completely black window. I would be most appreciative of any insights.
    Thanks.

  • Restore iphoto book

    One of my iPhoto Books has appeared with missing images and one missing page.
    Can anyone tell me please how I replace the faulty Book with last weeks version from Time Machine?

    For some unknown reason the menu has mysteriously returned and the text editor is back to normal.  Phew! 

  • 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.

  • Converting TIFF to JPEG with sips, then import into iPhoto problems

    I am cataloguing a box of slides and negatives for my family. The scanner generates huge TIFF files (on purpose), and I have an Applescript that then uses sips to copy them into low quality JPEG files using this command:
    do shell script ("sips -s format jpeg -s formatOptions low -s description " & "'" & "Original path: " & (POSIX path of an_image) & "'" & space & (POSIX path of an_image) & " --out " & new_file)
    where an_image is the source file, and new_file is the path and name of the converted image.
    This way, I can save the original file path as the image's description while shrinking the file size to speed up later importing into iPhoto. As part of the iPhoto import, that description from the metadata is placed in the on screen comment section for each image.
    This works fine to do the initial shrinking, but less than half of the resulting jpeg files can subsequently be imported into iPhoto. I get this error:
    The following file could not be imported. (The file is in an unrecognizable format.)
    And yet, Preview and Safari both open the files with no problems.
    Is there anything else I need to set when doing the conversion with sips to make it easier for iPhoto to recognize the converted files?
    I have over 1000 images, and anticipate a final total of about 2500 when I am done. These are images of myself and my siblings from the 1960s and 1970s, and my idea is to scan them all at high resolution, and use the converted, smaller files for iPhoto for keywording and Faces to get them organized, while retaining the paths to the original images. Any commentary is appreciated.

    I have uploaded one of the bad JPG files here:
    www.mrcodeboy.com/smith/Try.jpg
    I tried examining the metadata with exiftool, Image Events, and mdls, but there are a number of differences between the TIFF metadata and the JPEG metadata structures. I found no obvious differences, but this is a good idea, and I will continue to examine those closely for clues.
    *EDIT*
    I downloaded the bad JPEG above onto a different machine; it still does not import into iPhoto. However, by invoking sips on that file to convert it back to a TIFF file thusly:
    sips -s format tiff Try.jpg --out TryTF.tif
    it imported just fine. There has to be some sort of parameter that is NOT being addressed in the conversion from TIFF to JPEG that is somehow messing this up, yet is preserved when the file is re-written as a TIFF.

  • I received a PDF document with jpegs in it....how can I take the photos to iPhoto

    I received a PDF doc with jpeg photos within it.  How can I move photos to iPhoto??

    Here's how to get a pdf file or any file into iPhoto as a jpeg file:
    1 - open the file in any application that will open it.
    2 - type Command+P to start the print process.
    3  - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
    Note:  If you don't have any of those options go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
    Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
    Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
    Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
    4 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered).
    5 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
    That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of each page of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto.

  • I am a Canadian staying in England for a few weeks.  How can I get an iPhoto Book printed win England and sent as a gift to an English relative? With my account, it seems that Apple only allows for my book to be printed in Canada.

    Apple keeps books for a short time (used to be 40 days. I've not seen a recent time frame)
    What version did you have?
    Books do nor exist except in the iPhoto database so you can not "find" a book vista TM. You restore a previous library (be sure NOT to overwrite your current library) and switch to it

  • In photoshop cc my saved files don't appear as thumbnails with the image, only with the generic tiff or jpeg icon

    how do i get actual thumbnail images in photoshop cc instead of generic tiff or jpeg icons??

    And what exactly? If you mean system thumbnails, then this has nothing to do with PS. You messed up your file associations then by installing a tool that usurped those associations and they no longer default to the Windows preview function.

  • IPhoto '08 Book upload errors with squid transparent proxy - tip

    Hi folks
    I've just "solved" a problem I was having with iPhoto Book uploads. The solution may apply to other publishing products from iPhoto and possibly iDisk uploads too.
    My firewall & proxy setup is basically Linux iptables redirecting all outbound http (port 80) connections to a dansguardian filter, which in turn is passed onto a squid instance running as a transparent proxy (oh, and there's a privoxy in this all too!). Yeah, OK, I know, slightly paranoid, but I don't want my children accidently browsing stuff I don't think they are old enough for yet!
    Now I had the problem before with iPhoto '06 as well, but at the time just didn't have the time or inclination to figure out what the problem was, and just did the book order and upload from the office, where it went through without a problem. This time I decided to dig a bit and see what was happening. The clue that triggered off the solution was watching the part of the order process where the book data is uploaded. In my default setup, the upload bar would scream through to 100%, and then sit there for ages, before coming back with a connection error. Watching the network flashy lights on the NIC on the firewall though, it suddenly dawned on me that what was happening was that the upload was screaming through to the squid (as there was no outbound network activity from the firewall while this was happening) and then sitting there waiting for squid to pass it on to the Apple site (as shown by the outbound NIC activity light suddenly going bonkers once the uoload bar hit 100%).
    So clearly there's a problem sending book orders via a squid proxy setup as a transparent proxy. It might also very well be dansguardian interfering and wanting to take the entire upload and checking it before passing it on to squid. I already have site exception setup for all apple.com urls though in dansguardian, so didn't think it would be that. I thought about dicking around with the squid acl's but didn't have the enthusiasm to spend half the day getting that working.
    So what I did in the end was tail the squid logs to see what was being proxied whilst the book order was going on, and then dropped in 3 new rules in my iptables setup just before the redirect rule. Tried ordering the book again, and voila!
    The three rules I inserted were:
    $IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -s ! 10.1.1.1 -p tcp -d mercury.apple.com -j ACCEPT
    $IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -s ! 10.1.1.1 -p tcp -d configuration.apple.com -j ACCEPT
    $IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -s ! 10.1.1.1 -p tcp -d publish.mac.com -j ACCEPT
    The "-s ! 10.1.1.1" bit is obviously particular to my setup, as I wouldn't want connections from the router itself being proxied, so that may need to either be customised or left out altogether. These three rules are then immediately followed by the redirect:
    $IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -s ! 10.1.1.1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8081
    Hope that is of some help to someone out there!

  • IPhoto Books Snow Lion: Photos converted with errors

    On my new MacBook Air Lion was preinstalled, iPhoto11 is running. The data was transferred from my old MacBook (SnowLeopard, iPhoto11) through the Apple-Team (One-to-One).
    Two problems occur - the more puzzling first: Pictures are transformed for Books to order with peculiar mistakes. These cannot be due to missing original data - as photos spread over two pages will be okay on the left side, but with flaws on the right side (see picture taken when looking at Preview of finished book).
    If I create PDFs from books instead of Previews, things get worse: 99% of all pictures are corrupted.
    Help possible?
    The second problem are pictures lost in their edited version: When double-clicking the thumbnail to edit the picture, a warning sign appears: Image not found.
    The same is true if I want to watch Slideshows. If i click on "show original in finder" on the thumbnail, then the original is found there, and intact. But the edited version is gone.
    How do I show iPhoto the way back to the originals? Can the edited photos be found again?

    In regards to the first problem see this topic: Problem on creating Book: Apple Support Communities
    The second problem:  you get that when iPhoto loses or breaks the file path to the original file. How you did the transfer will affect how to go about fixing it.

  • IPhoto Book with Missing Pictures

    I submitted this problem via the Apple support site but have not received an answer. I am hoping someone visiting this forum might have advice.
    I ordered a 50-page hardcover 8.5x11 iPhoto Book (theme: Modern Lines) that I created using iPhoto 6.0 on a G5 Mac running OS 10.4.4. This was my first iPhoto book. The book, when assembled, looked perfect in the main book window, and I also saved a pdf of it, which was (and is) perfect as well. When the book arrived, I was very pleased with the quality of the printing, except that seven photos (some but not all of the photos on four separate pages) were not printed in their places in the book (there is just white space there).
    I then opened the saved file of the book within iPhoto on my computer. When I went to the pages where the printed book is missing photos, I was surprised to see the following. In the main book window, the photos appear initially, for just an instant, and then disappear. In the main book window I then just see white spaces where the seven photos should be (just as in the printed book). This was not the case when I first created the book and placed the order – all photos were present in these places in the book (as the pdf I made just before placing the order confirms). Also, curiously, on the pages with the missing photos, even now the photos do appear in the small images of these pages in the page browser at the top of the iPhoto window, although as mentioned, the photos do not appear (except initially for an instant) in the main book window.
    I have since updated to iPhoto 6.0.1 and OS 10.4.5, and the book appears the same with missing photos in the main window, but appearing correctly in the browser.
    As you can imagine, I am very disappointed to have spent $70 for a book with seven of the critical photos missing. I assume that there is some bug in iPhoto causing this problem. Has anyone experienced anything like this before? Any suggestions?

    I looked on the forum for iPhoto 5, and found a discussion of a similar problem: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=315857&tstart=45
    Essentially, the picture you see in iPhoto is a corrupted file. In my case, I deleted the pictures from the library that weren't showing up correctly, emptied the trash, and reimported the originals. Voila! No more missing images. Things are now showing up correctly.

    Nov 30, 2013 3:02 PM (in response to pablo123)
    Just got off the phone with apple support.  If the photo book completes the assembly process but fails during the upload process the problem is in their overloaded servers.They just started a free shipping promotion for the holidays which has increased the traffic dramatically. I bought a calendar a week ago and it went right through. I'm going to try again during less peak times.

  • Problem with preview of iPhoto book cover

    A friend has assembled a book in iPhoto and we have previewed it by going to File-Print and choosing to open a pdf in Preview. The pdf preview looks fine except for the front cover in which the image and text appear enlarged and shifted, cutting off the top of the cover photo. Attempts to insert a photo with a white border just give the same result - the picture is cropped and shifted.
    We then looked at a previous iPhoto book which David has had successfully printed through the Apple book ordering system. This shows exactly the same fault on the cover when opened as a pdf in Preview.
    Can we be confident that the new book will also print correctly despite the incorrect cover preview? David is using iLife 09 on a 24" iMac running OS X 10.5.8.
    Andrew

    Use the recommended preview method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040
    Assume that it will print exactly like this preview shows - you can save the resulting PDF for reference
