Looking for iPhoto book template for Aperture

I created a photobook in iPhoto and now need to add a few things that iPhoto wont permit ie images in places that are not on the templates. Therefore, I am trying Aperture since it allows me to modify templates. So, I now need to recreate a template in Aperture that is the same as the one I used in iPhoto. To speed everything up, I am looking to see if I can install the templates from iPhoto. If so, that would save me lots of work. Actually, if I could only import the photobook from iPhoto, that would be even better!
So, does anyone know where I can get the templates/themes that are in iPhoto and how do I install them in Aperture?

That is not a possibility - but you can do a page layout in Aperture (or any other program) and print it to PDF using the send PDF to iPhoto option to send an option of it to iPhoto and then add it to the iPhoto book as a full page photo

Using iPhoto Book Themes in Aperture

I would like to use the iPhoto book themes in Aperture.
Anyway of importing them.
Thanks, Paul.

In iPhoto-08 I have 13 book themes and in Aperture 2.0.1 I have 8 beautiful themes, fully customizable that is. I am also able to make my own Custom Themes.
The new themes is Formal and Modern Lines.
You can find more info on this at:
www.apple.com/aperture/features/100.html
I think that the reason for more themes in iPhoto is that iPhoto is aimed at the consumer market and Aperture for the professional market. If I really would like to make a book with the Crayon- or the Water Color theme (would I ever?) I certainly would update preview for those images and then make the book in iPhoto.
IMHO the book options has become more flexible in v2 although there are some issues yet and some features I really would like to see in an upcoming upgrade.

Bring far better iPhoto book-templates back!

Please migrate the iPhoto Book templates to Photos.
Photos is better in a lot of aspects but for us none of the offered book templates gets close to "Old World Travel" or "Asian Travel" etc.
They had a far better variety of pages by default, being able to take more photos at the time and needed far less editing.
The poor Photo books just show e.g. 80 pages of always the same boring page layout. Then the message "can only import 80 photos". In iPhoto I added 220 photos and got a nice varying layout. Boom.
If this (rather easy-to-do thing) is not happening, I guess you lost us as customers!

There are other online book providers that may have a more flexible layout that would suit your needs. Here are some of them:
Sites for Ordering Bound Books
Ofoto
Shutterfly
SharedInk
ImageStation
PhotoWorks
Viovo
Blurb
Blurb has an application that you can download and build the book locally before uploading.
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. 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

IPhoto book templates...

Are there other book templates that can be used in iPhoto? Looking for more variety than what is offered in iPhoto! Thanks.

If you have an image editor that supports layers or Pages you can create your own custom page themes and layouts as described here: iP11 - Creating a Custom Page, with the Theme's Background for an iPhoto Book

IPhoto Books What about Aperture Books In Australia

Hello Everyone.
Now iPhoto books are available in Australia, has anyone tried a book from Aperture ???
Many Thanks

I had Aperture 1.5.6 and they didn't work from there but I've just upgraded to Aperture 2.0 (an excellent upgrade, well worth it) and they do work from this version - books & prints only though.
Cheers,

How do I get my iPhoto books into my Aperture Library?

I have iPhoto '11 and i have some books that are not compleated yet and I wanted to finish them in my Aperture Library. They didn't import so I just said ok and went back to iPhotot to complete it and then I relized the iPhoto orgianals are in my Aperture Library. What do I do?

There is nothing you can do. iPhoto books and sideshows aren't imported into Aperture. The internal differences between iPhoto and Aperture prevent this from being able to happen.
What happens during the import of sideshows or books is what you have seen. The images in the iPhoto item are placed in an Aperture album that is named after the iPhoto item.

Looking for Aperture Book Recomendations for partial Noob

Looking at Amazon there are 3 books on the app. Each one brings something to the table. I have experience with Photoshop Elements and Iphoto. I do not think I am interested in the tutorial lessons available through "Apple Pro Training Series: Aperture 3." Any suggestions are appreciated. I have been looking at the online help and the various videos available on Apple and YT and find those helpful.
Thanks
Apple Pro Training Series: Aperture 3 [Paperback]
http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Pro-Training-Aperture-3/dp/0321647440/ref=cmcr_pr_producttop
Apple Aperture 3: A Workflow Guide for Digital Photographers [Paperback]

Aperture 3: Portable Genius [Paperback]
http://www.amazon.com/Aperture-Portable-Genius-Josh-Anon/dp/047038672X/ref=cmcr_pr_producttop

If you are not into the APTS tutorial type book, then I would probably recommend using the Portable Genius book combined with both the User Manual and Apple's online tutorials.
The Portable Genius is a good desktop reference book with quick to the point outlines of what a specific feature does and how to use it on a basic level (with some tips thrown in). IMO, an inexpensive and efficient way to go.

Major help needed! Saving iPhoto book as a working file

I am a student teacher and I am teaching a lesson on Friday that uses iPhoto book. My cooperating teacher has asked me to create an iPhoto book template for the students to use to make the activity easier for them. I have created the template book but realized I have no idea how to save it as a working file that can be transferred from one computer to the students' laptops.
I know there are some tutorials from a user named Old Toad for this; however, I am not typically a mac user, so I found those directions sort of confusing. I need very clear and explicit directions on how to do this if I can. Thanks so much.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
The Photobooks are templates.
The only way to move a book to another computer is to move the Library that contains it. This is because the book is an entry in the database and there is no ay to share it.

Looking for a simple flip book template for Flash CS5

Hi, I'm looking for a simple flip book template for Flash CS5 for a 20 page brochure/ booklet. Or a tutorial. Does anyone know of one?
Thanks!

Hi Mark,
No need to restrict your choice to the preset Pages Templates. Do a web search and choose a Word template. Pages will open Word documents and templates. Or design your own:
This is a Table I inserted into a blank Pages Word Processing document. Format the date column in Inspector > Table > Format > Cell Format. Select the first Date cell,then drag the fill handle down to increment the dates.

I am looking for a simple app to enable me to crop a face from one pic to another(fun). is it possible to do this via iPhoto or aperture?

No, you will need something more advanced, like Photoshop.

How can i move ALL of my Iphoto/aperture pictures from the internal hd to a external hd at one session? just need to how to do this. (I know this is a long process; just looking for a faster method).

looking for a way other than post and click.

I'm not at all sure what you mean by "post and click", but if you wish to move your entire iPhoto Library, then follow these steps:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2506
As far as I know, you can set up Aperture to access its library on an external drive; I tried to find some info for you and found this support site for it - you might want to check it out. Also, you might want to check the manual on how to move the library.

Iphoto 08 vs aperture book templates

I too wanted to use the new book template from iphoto 08... But I can't get this accomplished... There should be an easy way to import / export (depending on which program) to use the new book templates from iphoto 08 into Aperture. This release of iphoto 08 without acknowleging us Aperture users is in my view a horrible mistake and the Apple executives should be embarrassed.

One problem I am having is that if you browse the Aperture library using iPhoto 08 you can certainly import the previews but they are in fact not large enough/high quality enough to use for book or calendar printing. I use high qual previews in Aperture (9 out of 10) at large sizes and I still get the exclamation point when I import into iPhoto -- the only way I can get it to work properly is to export to the desktop the full-size versions, then import those into iPhoto. Not excatly seamless! Am I missing something that will make this work better? I mean, what is the point of sharing Previews if the Previews won't work well enough for printing?

Black and white photos for an iPhoto Book

I've scanned many old black and white photos into iPhoto and would like to create books with them, but I read that iPhoto will not work with black and white photos for books, only color photos. Is that true and are there any suggestions for how to create a book using them? Thanks.

There is a bug affecting PPC Macs with iPhoto 6.0.5 and QuickTime 7.1.3 that causes it to crash with photos that have no color profile attatched. In addition, iPhoto 6 does not work well with Grayscale. So check these scans to see if they have no color profile or if the profile is grayscale. If so, you'll need to convert them to sRGB. They'll still be black & white, but they'll have a color profile that iPhoto 6 will accept.
Old Toad created an Automator application to embed the sRGB profile into your photos. Go to his Toad's Cellar and download the "Embed wRGB Color Profile 2" App. In Finder go in your Originals folder, then drop a roll folder containing these photos onto the app.

Before doing anything, you might want to try inserting some of those scans into a book template and see what happens. To see how a book will print when you order it from Apple, choose Print when you are viewing the book. Allow it to assemble the file. In the Print Dialog box, click the PDF button and select Save PDF from the drop-down menu. Minimize the iPhoto window to find a little box asking you to select a location for the saved PDF. [If you don't go looking for this window you'll be stuck waiting indefinitely.] View the PDF and see how those black & white scans look.
