Issues creating a Photo Book

Hi,
I have iPhoto 11 (v9.1.5) running on a Lion i3 iMac with 8GB for Ram.
I'm trying to create an XL Photobook and all of the pics look fantastic however Apple emailed me to say some of the images are distored and asking my to 'Preview' the book.
When I do Preview the book, indeed there are issues with some of the pics.  However I have no ideas why.  Everytime I do a new preview, different pics have the issue.
Some have a diaganol line running through where others have colours that have changed as per the screen grab below:
Each time I preview the book, it occurs on different pages.  This time it was only on this one page (which has about 6 pics, all of which were distorted).
Any ideas before I decide to go elsewhere (where the book will most likely be cheaper than the 70 GBP i'm willing to pay Apple)
Thank

Someone else in the community suggested assembling the book while the computer is in safe mode - this did the trick for me!

  • .Issue with creating a photo book in Iphoto error message states some frames are missing images, but I've checked each one and from I can see they are all filled in. It won't let my buy the book though

    Having an Issue with Creating a photo Book in Iphoto. I continue to get an error message when clicking on "Buy Book" The error indicates that I'm missing a frame or frames from the book. I've checked this many times and cannot locate the issue. The book appears to be complete from my perspective. What can I do now? I worked very hard on this and would hate to lose it all.

    How did you check the book? Did you preview it?
    See:
    iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture
    Is that the message?
    "your book seems to have frames on one or more pages that do not contain photos. You must either change the layout of those pages or place photos in those frames before you can buy this book."
    The most common reason for this error is, that you have used a page layout that needs a background photo and you have not yet added the backdrop. Then the book is still showing some default grayscale image.
    Check, if one of your page layouts is using this background:
    Then you need to add a photo to the background of the page.

  • I created a photo book in Photoshop elements 11 that contains png files with the invisible backgrounds.  When I export the book to a jpg or a pdf, the png files appear with white backgrounds.

    jpg and pdf formats don't support transparency. You need to use a format such as tif, png or psd that does.

  • Quality of photo when creating a photo book from iphoto

    i am in the process of creating a photo book however i am downloading pictures from facebook and i am not sure if the qulaity will be good enough for print, will i be told during this process as i havent been yet and dont want to pay for something that isnt right. thanks

    There is another potential issue. While you may have enough pixels, the plain fact is that not all pixels are the same. When a photo is uploaded to Facebook they 'process' it - and in the course of that throw away about 90% of the data in the file. What that means is that a lot of the character and depth of the photo may be lost when printed. Unfortunately, this is not something that iPhoto can warn you about.

  • Problems creating Shutterfly Photo Book with PSE 9

    Has anyone run across this problem. Searched the forum here, and nothing has come up. Created a photo book using the Elements 9 organizer. Selected the order  button, it saved the files, transferred them, then opened a Shutterfly  window to complete the order. Single Image that Shutterfly would show  was the cover to center the title page image in a center cut space on  the cover. The image looked compressed and not centered. Exited the  program, re centered the image and selected order again. Same result,  image looked centered but compressed. Went to the Shutterfly website in make sure that images were not  compressed like that (since it saves your project under your profile).  Instead found that some pages were correct, and some (like the title  page) took an entire page that I made in Elements and compressed it into  a single frame of a three framed picture page, for example. The whole  project is a total mess! I'm just glad I looked on the Shutterfly site  before pressing the purchase button and paying $30 for a book to be  delivered looking like that! Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I pretty much used all of the  prompts in elements to create the book, and since Shutterfly is supposed  to be seamlessly integrated into this, I thought it would work without  problems. Please let me know what I am doing wrong. Thanks,
    Dave

    Have seached this entire forum for help with this issues and there is nothing. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong??
    Thanks!

  • How can i create a photo book from 2 libraries easily?

    This is my situation.
    I want to create a photo album of my child for the past year for parents/grandparents etc from the photos on mine AND my wifes macbooks. Before iphoto 9.5 i would simply look at her shared library from my iPhoto and use hers and my photos to make a book.
    Now there is no shared library in 9.5, so after doing my homework on how apple wants us to do this now, I started a shared iCloud photostream ('kid' 2013) and invited my wife to it. I started adding photos from my library, and she did the same. All good i thought, but no. Becasue the photo stream only sorts by 'date added' not date taken, and in fact I cannot even see the date the photo was taken in the photostream, it means making a chronological photo book from both our photo libraries has now been made impossible.
    Anybody got any other ways to do this?

    Create an album, and then select all photos in the Shared Photo Sream and add them to the album. In the album you can see the dates of the photos in the Info panel. Then sort your album by date, and create the Photo Book from the album, not directly from the shared stream.

  • I have created 2 photo books and would like to merge them into one. How can I do this?

    I have created 2 photo books and would like to merge them together.  How can i do this?

    You can't just merge them. You will have to add the photos of Book B to Book A and add new pages to A to duplicate those in B.
    NOthing was said about copying and pasting - you add the photos from book B to book a, add pages to bbok a and recreate teh pages in book a
    Another way would be to print book B to PDF sending the PDF to iPhoto and then placing the pages as full page images in book A

  • When creating a photo book how can I sort the photos shown by file name?

    I am creating a photo book. The photos shown in the right hand column appear out-of-order. How do I sort them by file name? The album in iPhoto the book is based on is sorted by file name.

    You can not - they are soreted by date
    --  the only solution I have seen is to put them in an album sorted the way you and and then use the batch cnage command to redate them with a small invrement between so a data sort matches your desired sort  --  I personally do not want to redate a bunch of my photos nor do i want  to have to go through and un-re- date a bunch

  • I've created a photo book in iPhoto on my iPad.  When I go to order it, it says that "Your Book contains Empty Photo Frames" but when I check each page, they all have photos.  How to I order the book?

    I've created a photo book in iphoto on my ipad.  When I try to order it (by clicking the price of the book in the top right corner) it says that Your book contains empty photo frames - add photos to the empty frames, or change the page layout to include fewer photos" but when I look at each page, there are photos in all the frames.  What do I need to do to order this book??????
    Thanks so much for any help offered!

    It doesn't appear under the iPad device on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes, you need to select the iPad device on the sidebar and then select the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes e.g.
    And then on the right-hand side :

  • I've created a Photo Book in iPhoto, it quits uploading halfway through.

    I've spent many days creating a Photo Book using iPhoto and now I'm ready to order it! But twice now it quits halfway through the uploading process. How can I figure out what the problem is? I was really looking forward to see this project as a finished product.

    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.

  • How does one create a photo book of a custom size? Only option available is 11x 8.5 inches

    Please help me with the basic steps for creating a photo book in pse12 of a custom size e.g. 12x15
    I want to create design using pse12 and get the album printed by a local vendor. Please help. I am stuck with the fixed size offered by Adobe.
    I want to create Photoshop photo book in order to spread out few single images on 2 sheets. I won't be able to do the same if I create pages separately.
    Thanks in advance.

    Aha. You can't have two different page sizes in one single document.
    You are right, you could do it with three separate documents, and 'glue' them together using a Book document. It's far easier to place a blank placeholder page in your actual document, and create a new doc just for the oversized page.
    When the time comes to produce a final file (hopefully, a PDF), you can leave it as is -- two separate documents --, or use Acrobat to stitch the larger page into the main document (at the request of your printer).

  • What is the ideal resolution for photos when creating a photo book in iphoto?

    Can you tell me what is the ideal resolution for photos I use to create a photo book from my iphoto library? 

    The DPI depends on the size of the image to be printed by the image file.  A 639 x 960 image could print a 3.5  x  5 photo at 180 DPI.  This website explains it further: The Myth of DPI.  
    So use the smaller photos only in the smaller frames on multiple photo layouts for best results.

  • How does iPhoto sort when creating a photo book

    My problem. When I create a photo book in iPhoto, it sorts in random. I have by date selected, and I need the pictures to flow based on the date.
    Where am I missing it?
