Looking to change book size but maintain my page layouts

Is there a smart way of changing the book size in aperture but be able to maintain the page layouts. I dont want to redo the entire book. Any tricks or suggestions would be of immense help. I have custom layouts for images.

I don't know of any way to do this, that is supported by Apple. If you change the theme or the book size, you will get the warning, that custom items and texts might change.
Have you tried to duplicate your book and to change the size of the copy of the book? What are the custom items that are changing in your particular custom theme?

Change book size but keep layout

I am halfway through creating a 6 X 8 book, including a couple of pages I custom designed. I just noticed that this book size is available only in softcover, but I think I may want a hardcover book. I tried duplicating the book, then changing the duplicated book to the 8.5 X 11 hardcover size, but Aperture applies the "default" book layout and re-flows all my pictures! (I am glad I duplicated the book first, or a guess I would have lost everything.)
Is there any way to tell Aperture that I want to maintain the same basic page layout (e.g., if page 3 has 4 horizontal photos, then I want page 3 in the new layout to have those same 4 photos, horizontal)? I know I may have to go through and do some general fixing up, but I would like to avoid aving to re-do the entire thing.

As you've seen, your personalized layout won't transfer. The book will need to be redesigned using the new theme.

Change slide size in 2 slide/page layout?

Several folks indicated that you can use the "layout" view to produce a handout with 2 slides per page. But there is still quite a bit of white space. How can you increase the slide size on the page to make them bigger? Also, is there a way to add page numbers to the page (I already have slide numbers).

Rocketscience,
welcome to the Keynote Discussions.
Well, I think the border around the two slides I print is just enough to punch and file the paper.
Oh, wait, I'm using [DIN] A4 format. Well, try this:
* In the print dialog choose Layout from the "Copies & Pages"
dropdown box and set "Pages per Sheet" to 2
(you know that but I repeat it for other readers)
* Choose Paper Handling from the same dropdown box and mark
"Scale to fit paper size:". Select A4 from the corresponding
dropdown box (yes, even if you don't use A4 format). Unmark
"Scale down only".
* Print you slides.
There's no possibility to add page (sheet) numbers in the print dialog. You could prepare a file in Keynote or Pages that only prints a page number and print these numbers in a second run on you handouts. Not very elegant but maybe better than to paginate with a counter

Change book size after design?

Is there any way to do this? I've created a book in Extra Large, then looked at the price and though, "maybe a smaller size would be OK, and cheaper." But I can't seem to find a way to change the book size. Is this not possible? Do I have to redo the book again?
thanks for any help

Create a copy of your book (select the book (not the images in it) in the library inspector panel, then go to "File >Duplicate Book".
Open the copy of the book and click the "Theme Button" in the upper left corner of the Book panel and pick a different theme. Select a different size.
Changing the Book size may modify some text fields. That is why I recommend to try this with a copy of the book.

Changing Book Size

I have created an "Extra Large" book n Aperture 3.1, but want to order a "Large" version of it. However, when I change the size using "Change Theme", it loses all my layouts, text etc. Is there any way of doing this? Surely people must sometimes want to order multiple copies of the same book in different sizes (e.g. an extra large wedding album for the couple, then smaller versions of the same for the parents)?

Sure - select teh book in the source pane on the left and duplicate it (just in case of problems) - depress the command key and type "D" - then go to chemes and select teh new size, verify that it worked and preview it -
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.
then order it

Can I change book size after its designed?

I just spent hours getting my book just the way I want it but now realize I'd rather buy the larger size book than the smaller one I selected at the start of the project. Can I change the book size now before I purchase?

yes - you can change size or theme
duplicate the project before you make changes as a backup
Then just change the size (go to themes, ignore the warning and select the new size) - your text may have to be adjusted although going larger probably is ok

Change book size mid-design

I'm creating a book to print with blurb. I started on this project last year and I'm just getting around to finish it now, but I've designed the whole book to the wrong size. Is there any way to change the size of the book now? Or can you drag everything you've done on one book to another book to get it mostly there and then do the small size adjustments as needed?

Greetings,
With regard to human error apple haven't got an app for that yet.
Save the book as a pdf. As you have all the photos ready to go again change your book size and copy/paste the text from your pdf.
PS if you have been working on this for a year be careful that they don't bring out an extra extra large book before you finish it and have to start again.
Merry christmas hope it all works out for you

Change image size (but only one value)

Is there a way to resize an image using Automator but only change one of the values? Example, I have images (.jpg) that are 1440x1080 but I want to change them to be1920x1080.

I am exporting a still image from a HDV timeline in Final Cut Pro. The problem is that the video originally is 1920 x 1080 but when you bring it into FCP it makes it 1440 x 1080. While editing, FCP makes the video look like the original resolution, but when a still is exported it looks smashed in from the sides. Bringing it in to Photoshop I just change the resolution from 1440 x 1080 to 1920 x 1080 the picture looks like the original video resolution. I offen times have several stills and I was looking for a quick way to change them quickly. I work with our police department and get various videos to make still images, then they email the pictures to other police agencies. Our countywide drug enforcement agency is going to get a new video camera and I think they should get a HDV camera, the stills from HDV is much better that from regular DV video.

How Can I Change the Size of My Home Page So That It Fills the Screen?

I have a PowerBook G4. Up until a couple of weeks ago when I opened Safari the home page filled the screen. Something has happened and now it fills only a portion of the screen. I can move the page around, change the size slightly by using the green button next to the minimizing button, but nothing I do will enlarge it to fill the screen. I have gone to View and Preferences, but find nothing to resolve this. Please help!

You're welcome Maureen. Glad I could help.
Thanks for the and Aloha from Big Island.

When I send or receive e-mail, the mail gets changed significantly from its' original form.....typestyle, size of letters, symbols, page layout, color, everything changes.....is there a way to fix that?.....

When I send or receive e-mail (Thunderbird).....the mail gets changed significantly from its original form.....typestyle, font size, symbols, page layout, color.....everything changes.....is there a way to fix that so my the original form of the mail is not changed?.....

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

Change book size/binding?

Is it possible to change a book, say from Hardbound large to softbound medium without making a complete new book from scratch? Looked everywhere but don't see it anywhere.
TIA
Len

TIA:
There have been warnings that you could lose text doing so. So I just make a duplicate of the book before trying. Select the book and type Command-D.
Do you Twango?
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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Change book size and cover

I have created a photo book with hardcover. Now I would like to create and print the same book with softcover and smaller size. Is this possible without re-creating the book?

select the book in the source pane on the left and duplicate it (command-D) and then click on the themes button and select the new size/style/theme -- closely inspect the book to be sure it is still corrcect (text may reflow due to size changes as may photo arrangement) - preview (
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. ) and order if it is what you want

I have installed yosemite yesterday and photoshop elements 12 doens't work anymore: it opens, I can change doc size but no more... also screen size too large

Yesterday I have updated my mac with Yosemite since I try to work on PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12 but I cannot go further than opening documents and changing size. Screen is also too large but with Yosemite no mean to adapt it with the screen menu...
How can I recover the photoshop tools?

Unfortunately there is no option in PSE to vhange the UI fonts (other than switching to System Font' in preferences. So traditionally changing the Windows display font size has been the only workaround, and even that can cause problems with individual menus disappearing and being replaced with a hard to spot >> drop-down menu.
If you have a dual-display system you could have the menus on the lower resolution screen with images on the hi-res.
Cheers,
Neale
