Iphoto preview pictures

Hi
im busy putting my very first book together in iphoto 6 and have noticed when i zoom in on the page in the main window the pictures seem a little soft. But when i pull them up in the edit window they are sharp. So will the pictures still print ok? Ive used pref setter to make sure the dpi is 300. Your feedback would be gratefully appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The softness you're seeing is just the antialiasing that iPhoto applies to the viewing on screen. When you've completed assembling the book start to print it and select Save to PDF. You can then check the appearance of the photos in Preview as well as do a final proof before ordering.
Which setting did you edit to 300? The current default settings for iPhoto 6.0.4 are:
Default DPI Settings in iPhoto 6's Preference File
BookTargetDPI - 300
BookTargetMediumDPI-300
BookTargetSmallDPI - 300
BookWarningImageDPI - 180
PrintImageDPI - 720
PrintWarningImageDPI - 140
All of the critical settings are already at 300 dpi.

  • Originals won't open in iPhoto, Preview, Photoshop; Corrupted files?

    I am using the latest version of iPhoto 6 (6.0.5, I think).
    I have 2 external Firewire hard drives. One is for backup. One is for my music and pictures.
    Everytime I would start iPhoto I would get "rebuild thumbnail cache". Knowing this is not normal, I used the latest version of Backup, and backed up to an external hard drive.
    Now the external hard drive with the music and photos has failed completely (I think the circuit board is fried, but that's another story).
    I restored my iPhoto library from my backup, to my computer's main drive. I checked permissions, and none required fixing.
    Now all of my pictures are corrupted. The thumbnails show, but neither the originals nor the modified picture files will open in iPhoto, Preview, or Photoshop. I get the infamous "unknown or invalid JPEG marker type" error.
    And I have rebuilt the iPhoto database several times to no avail.
    I have 13500 pictures in my library, including the birth of my daughter and 3 years of her growing up. There must be a way to fix this.
    Please help!

    Sorry to hear of your problems.
    Right now I would concentrate on getting the pics back, and figure out the iPhoto part later.
    Select one of the pics in the Finder and try change the file suffix: if it's pic.jpg, then try pic.JPG or .jpeg and see if that helps.
    Try open the pics with Graphic Converter, which seems to be less fussy about things. You can download it here: http://www.lemkesoft.com/
    BackUp (if this is the Apple App we're talking about) creates a pkg file. Can you see the one you restored from? Right click on it, and choose 'Show Package Files. Inside you'll find a .dmg file. This contains the actual files. Mount the dmg and see if you can find the files inside it. Can you view them in Preview?

  • IPhoto Album pictures differ in Screen Saver selection

    When selecting an iPhoto Album as a Screen Saver, the Preview picture pane often displays pictures in other albums. Also, in certain albums, only one picture in that album displays continuously.
    I hope this problem is fixable.
    Thanks for your help!

    Hello Albert & Welcome to Discussions,
    Very simple fix. Go to SystemPreferences>Desktop & ScreenSavers.
    Once there click Screen Savers and uncheck, Use random screen saver.
    Now click "Choose a folder" and select the folder you want to use for your screen saver. Now, click Options and make any changes you want.
    Now, after all that is done go back to Desktop and make sure you choose the same folder you're using for screen saver and let it create the photos. Then,
    click on any image and a pull down menu will appear that allows you to make changes to the way the pictures appear on the desk top...ie Full Screen, tile and so on.
    Hope this helps.

  • When using iPhoto edit, pictures are fuzzy

    When I download photos from my SD card they are downloaded clear, then I hit edit in iphoto and pictures are fuzzy. In Apeture and Preview they are clear.

    You should be able to click and drag/drop the albums into the order you wish.

  • Preview pictures not displaying after BTV+ Update

    My BT Vision + box got its update last week and it seemed fine for a few days but it has now started to do something really annoying.  When I go to browse On Demand content the preview pictures remain blank, I can move to them and see what they are by the text name and select and play them all, but no pictures.  Any ideas how to fix this?  It's not a connectiuon issue as all the On Demand content works fine if selected and all other internet in the house is great.  Any ideas anyone?

    This is a long shot but try this:
    1 - go to your System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of your MMe account.
    2 - try logging in with a bad user name and password to clear the caches.
    3 - now log in with your correct user name and password.
    4 - launch iPhoto, select your MMe galleries one at a time and click on the publish button
    5 - check your online galleries to see if they can not be viewed.

  • I need to minimize the space photos take on my MacBook Pro OSx 10.7.  They are in iPhoto, Aperture, Pictures/Photo Library, etc.  Are they taking space in all of these locations?

    I need to minimize the space photos take on my MacBook Pro OSx 10.7.  They are in iPhoto, Aperture, Pictures/Photo Library, etc.  Are they taking space in all of these locations?

    Are they taking space in all of these locations?
    It depends on how you are using iPhoto and Aperture. 
    iPhoto and Aperture each create their own library files, and the default location for them is in /users/youruseraccount/Pictures
    You can configure iPhoto and Aperture to use the same Library file, in which case your photos are only stored once.  But if you are using iPhoto & Aperture with independent library files, you may in fact be duplicating your storage.
    The second consideration is whether or not you have configured iPhoto and/or Aperture as reference libraries, in which case their library files only reference photos you have stored in other places on your hard drive.  Setting them up as reference libraries does not duplicate the photos inside the library files.

  • Macbook Pro iPhoto or Pictures?

    Just bought a MacBook Pro, could someone please explain to me the difference between the iphoto and pictures? Should I upload my pics to both? Or should I use one rather than the other? Thanks in advance!!

    iPhoto is an app that supports importing photos from a digital camera and is also a photo storage and management app. The iPhoto Library is stored in the OS X Pictures folder. If you mamage photos the good old Windows way - by manually creating folders, etc, you can store all your manually created folders of photos in the Pictures folder. Pictures is basically just a folder.

  • Lost iPhoto and pictures

    Tonight opened iPhoto and was prompted to select a library. I chose the library I thought was the correct one (I only have two choices iPhoto or Pictures) and now when iPhoto opens I have all the thumbnails but when I click to open them all I get is a black screen with an "!" mark.
    I have tried all the usual procedures such as opening with "Option & Cmd" buttons held and rebuilt
    all #1,2, & 6, or only "option" held to choose new library all to no avail.
    Furthermore, when I went back to my Pictures folder all I have is a folder which went clicked on opens iPhoto. If I right-click on this folder then I can see all my other contents. I have tried to select-all in the this folder to drag onto the Pictures folder but all I get is a pop-up saying it can't be opened because "Pictures" may be damaged or incomplete
    Using a cmd line from a previous problem I was able to get my "Pictures" folder back to what it should be (after several goes during which it kept reverting back).
    Can anyone offer some advice on how I can open up my photos please?

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • I tried moving an album from iPhoto to Pictures.  It took the entire iPhoto Library.  Now I can't use it, and I cannot open it.  How do I get it back to just iPhoto?

    I tried moving an album from iPhoto to Pictures, but the entire iPhoto Library moved.
    I now cannot open iPhoto.  How can I get it back?

    A folder named Library popped up in Pictures.  I didn't want the entire Library, just the one album.
    When I open the Library Folder in Pictures, I get sub folders dated with years.
    When I open the subfolders, I just keep getting more folders.
    This looks like you were viewing your iPhoto Library; the contents of the Masters folder. Is your original iPhoto library still there?
    Where do you keep your iPhoto library? In the default location in your "Pictures" folder? 

  • How do I change the thumbnail preview picture

    How do I change the thumbnail preview picture?  I've got a 3d model and I want a particular view to be the thumbnail picture as well as the default view.  I believe I've done that before but cannot figure out how I did it.

    I'm working with pages that are comprised only one picture of a 3d object (a table).  I really believe I was able to change the thumbnail to a particular point of view but can't remember how I did it.  It's been so long that I can't remember, but I'm pretty sure I was able to.

  • I lost all my photos in iphoto and picture project

    I have a Mac OS X version 10.3.9, and the iphoto is version 4.0.3
    i emptied my trash, and then went through the applications and deleted the ones i don't use (such as PDA and palm pilot applications and the games that i will never play). After i was done, i went back to iphoto and all the albums and pictures were gone. I went into picture project (a nikon software) and those pictures were gone, but had the little boxes of blank pictures. My desktop originally had a picture on it that i downloaded from a camera was gone as well. when i logged onto another account those pictures were still there. When i logged back onto my account, my desktop picture came back, leading me to believe that my pictures are still there. But those are gone too. Is there anyway i can retrive my pictures? I really hope they are not gone! I have too many pictures...and only half of them backed up! =(

    i'm talking about the desktop trash. I don't know how to empty the iphoto trash.
    No, i didn't delete anything with iphoto. i know i can delete duplicates, and still keep one of the pictures, i have done that before. I did delete Chess, Deimos Rising, Ambrosia Software Web, Kinoma, Palm, PDA Shop Lists, PDA Money, PDA Safe ID, Splash ID, Splash Money, Splash Shopper.
    I logged under a different user name, and all those pictures were still in iphoto and picture project.
    No, i did not contradict myself. The desk top picture did come back, leading me to believe that all the photos were still there. However, when i checked the iphoto and picture project, those were still gone.
