Loss of vivid colours in I Photo Album

Looking through my I Photo Album I am disappointed with the colours, they seem very flat and much of the vivid colour has been lost. The overall quality of the album is excellent but I just need to bring some life to the photos, I have a reasonable camera and prints from other sources have been perfect, is there something I can do in the settings? is it possible to have a gloss setting? I am using I Photo 8 Thanks very much in advance

You can't, likely your best solution is to use iPhoto to make each album into a slideshow.

IWeb 09' photo album page cannot be displayed on IE7/8

I have created a photo album page with iWeb 09'. Publish to a folder and test on Windows system (IE6/7/8). All photo frames cannot be displayed, but just the title and some text. The page is blank afterwards with background colour only. Firefox for Windows is fine. Anything I can do as there is no other option for export / publish webpage to folder...... thanks a lot.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. As you probably know IE is a very poor browser. Roddy has published tips on getting iWeb pages to load more efficiently in IE: http://www.iwebformusicians.com/WebMusic/iWebandInternetExplorer.html.

Iweb formating problem with photo album

Hi,
Im quite new to iweb but was developing a simple website to advertise a friends photography business.
I've made three pages, one of which is photo gallery using iweb's photo album page structure which seems to work fine apart from one problem.
I adapted one of the themes to have a simple gradient colour fill for the page background and a single colour for the browser background. The problem occurs when i want to view a larger image of the one of the photos - the colour gradient does not extent upwards into the header area and down into the footer area.
Please see http://www.swanmoreweddingcars.com/test/MartinKingPhotography.co.uk/Gallery/Page s/Album_Two.html and click on a photo to enlarge. This problem does not appear when in iweb, only after I've published it to a folder.
If any one has any suggestions about what is going wrong please let me know, as i think i've tried everything.
Many thanks

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I've tried playing around with all of those settings but with no luck. It appears exactly how i want it to look in iWeb but as soon as i publish it to a folder to upload it to my web server the problem arises.

I upgraded my iphone to IOS 6.1.2 through itunes and lost some photos from photos album and SMS ( in fact everything went back to how it was on my last back up which was few weeks ago). How can I recover them? Thank you ...

Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

CS3 tools interactive photo album and small video

Sorry to ask something that I should know.
I have 2 the CS3 tools, photoshop & AI and the full production studio of CS2. I haven't used these tools for mnths (nearing a yr) and didn't have a whole lot of experience even when I used them daily.
Cutting to the chase... I want to create a short video and an interactive photo album to go on a settop playable CD-rom.
I don't need help with the video part. But am at something of a loss about the interactive photo album. I've done quite a few animated photo-albums but the only interactive part was with DVD menus.
I'm not really talking about a lot of interactivity. I plan to put the pictures in pages and would like the user to be able to turn the pages.
That is, I'd like the pages static but turnable by user/viewer.
Maybe menus would be one way to do it, but wondering if there is some way to make it a little less clunky. Ahh .. maybe all I'm describing is chapters.. but even then I'm not sure how to do that on a CD-rom as opposed to a dvd...... still any input would be welcome.

I have a similar problem. I have DreamWeaver8 and installed a
demo version of Fireworks. Fireworks works fine when I just want to
open an image to edit.
However when I try to create a Photo Album I am prompted to
install Fireworks. I have 21 days left in the trial version.
thank you

RGB or CMYK colour formatting for iPhoto Albums printing.

Hi.
I'm putting my first iPhoto Album together. Info given from Apple about what colour format to use for your photos, says to use RGB. While this is corrcet for digital monitors and screens. Mass printing uses CMYK. Any images supplied to a printers in RGB will colour shift when printed in CMYK. No matter what a printer tells you, these colour shifts can be very noticable. I'm an Advertsing Art Director and I've seen the shift that happens.
I will be checking/colour correting all photos submitted to the iPhoto Album with Adobe Photoshop. And many will very probably undergo some corrections. Be it through levels, curves, hue/saturation, etc. Nothing to anything near an excessive level, but enough to make obvious improvements.
So I will then be faced with the choice of whether to save the images out in RGB or CMYK.
Can someone with some technique knowledge, from the iPhoto team, tell me/reasure me why RGB has been specified? And if CMYK wouldn't actually be a preferable colour format to supply in, considering you'll be printing them in CMYK.
Many Thanks, Jim.

You're absolutely correct. I was referring to notes make a number of years ago in regards to iPhoto 5 and that RGB was recommended for both books and prints.
I was confusing CMYK with Grayscale with Dot Gain 20% profile when stating iPhoto didn't support it which it didn't fully support until iPhoto 9.
In fact I just ran a test with iPhoto 6, 7 and 8 with a CMYK AND GrayScale files with the following results:
iPhoto 6 (06): wouldn't import CMYK but did GrayScale. The grayscale file would only display as a black thumbnail and negative full image. If the DotGain 20% profile was stipped from it the iamge would dispaly normally.
iPhoto 7 (08): wouldn't import CMYK but did GrayScale. The grayscale file would only display as a black thumbnail and negative full image. If the DotGain 20% profile was stipped from it the iamge would dispaly normally.
iPhoto 8 (09): neither file would import which is surprising:
iPhoto 9.2.3 (11): both imported and viewed normally.
iPhoto 9.4 (11): both imported and viewed normally.
In Oct, 2007 I got an email from Apple support with the following:
Also as iphoto makes a pdf of the book and then uploads it to keep the size down, it doesn't matter if the pics are RGB or CMYK as a pdf is a closed file. But since it is going through prinergy it has an RGB checker so this most be switched off. It is how the software in prinergy handle's it that causes the washed out affect as it takes the Red Green Blue colours and tries to convert to Cyan Magenta Yellow Black. Now the colour spectrum in printing between rgb and cmyk is quite different looking at a colour wheel will show you. The best way i can describe it is if you have a pantone book which has spot on one side and process on the other you can see a colour difference. Or if you use quark open up the colours and again switch between process and spot.
BUT ONLY CONVERT PICS TO CMYK IF YOU ONLY INTEND TO ORDER BOOKS. IF YOU INTEND TO ORDER PRINTS IT WILL NEED TO BE RGB.
Here's how i see it:
1. Apple doesn't want 2 different versions of the pics floating about as running CMYK through a photomachine (as prints you would order in the high street) will not print correctly.
2. RGb's going through a CMYK press using prinergy will attempt to convert and produce the washed out effect, or yellowing effect BUT will still print.
So it will use the 2nd option as it will still produce prints normally and books with a slightly washed out effect. Now to most people in the high street, who will notice a difference?
I have just received my latest book saved as CMYK pics in tiff format and no washed out effect. What i will say is The quality if still not as good as a print. Now we use a docucolour 5252 at work and the colour quality is better. I wonder how often the machine is calibrated and what colour curve it is set to?
However, I am unable to import a CMYK file in any iPhoto version until iPhoto 9. Go figure.
Thanks for the feedback. Hadn't addressed this particular subject in quite a long time.

Created Web Photo Album but Main Photos do not show on centre page in Firefox

Site is
I have used web photo album in this web site. In IE this is showing OK and all images are centralised, however in Firefox the main photo pages are showing to the left can anyone help me please?
http://www.sancere.com/Album/pages/Picture-018_jpg.htm

The page is showing OK in IE because it's in quirks mode - due to the fact that you are not using a doctype. Firefox is showing the page as it really is :-)
I've recoded the page for you - see if this works better.
Notice the doctype at the top of the document. You should use this on every page of your site. Which version of DW are you using if it didn't create the doc type ??
I've moved the body style into the style rules to the head of the document. I've added an ID for the table #gallerytable and applied that to your table.
If you look at the #gallerytable styles, you'll see I've given the table a width and set the margin to auto, which will center the page in both browsers. I've also removed the centering you had in the <td> elements.. no need for that because it's covered in the #gallerytable styling

IWeb photo albums

Have just created a website with multiple photo albums ... all images look great within iWeb, but when the site is published, (to either a folder, or to a .mac site) the images on the Album page (with album animation set to skim) are all pixelated ... when you click onto album image to get to the photo grid page, all images appear on the photo grid page (and in the slideshow) as perfect and sharp without any pixelation whatsoever.
I have tried importing the images from both Aperture and iPhoto ... no difference ... both are pixelated when published ... Then tried changing the presets/preferences , both in iWeb for image import (checked and unchecked the box for "optimize images on import" ) ... and in Aperture, changing the image size and quality for export ... no difference ...
My apple creative is at a loss, as are all the genius' in the store ... and I am unable to find any fix in iWeb help, the tutorials, the discussion forums, the pdf info, or anywhere else ... can't even find the problem listed ...
Can anyone help me?

When you say "using smaller thumbnails" what exactly do you mean?
I imported 49 3008x2000 photos which were scaled down to 800x528 for display within the page width i set for the project. (This also appears to be the storage size for published photos which I was able to download back to my computer.) In any case, the "Album Index" page then created created a "thumbnail" (image scaled to 512x338) for use on the "Album Index" page. (You will note that this is the same width as those previously noted on kire25's web site with height at aspect ratio that matches my slightly odd Nikon originals.) In any case, think of these "thumbnails" as being used as individual frames in a movie clip and that moving your cursor horizontally across the "thumbnail" display area as being the same as "scrubbing" a movie player's "play head" and you can imagine how "skimming" thumbnail images actually works.
As to the apparent increase in quality, I set the display area for 4 columns of thumbnail displays even though I only made a single album for my test. Having four columns, each would be displayed at only 258x170 with the settings used in my test. Thus the display size in my case is actually less than the scaled size of the "thumbnail" image and so skimming speed is faster and relative quality appears to increase. Didn't check the actual difference in my test, but I believe that if you set the number of columns in iWeb for the automatic generation of this effect to 2, 3, or 4, then actual thumbnail image size is equal to or larger than the display size. Only the "1 Column" setting displays the thumbnail larger than its actual size (i.e., will generate obvious pixellation). Must confess, however, that I wasn't all that thrilled with the scaling algorithm used by iWeb (probably the standard QT scaler) as opposed to other algorithms.
The size of the images themselves are compressed before you insert the album into the place holder, or the size of the "album holder" is smaller in dimension ...?
Not sure if the compression takes place when photos are added to photo pages or at the time of publication. First photo in page always looked worse than the others after I modified the web page width and increased the display area. (Would probably require reads of project file data (image size) before and after making changes to page/display widths to determine how the stored image dimensions are effected by changes in the project settings. (This is not something I would want to take the time to investigate at this time as I am way behind in making some DVDs for my grandson.)

Dreamweaver photo album

When I put up a new photo album in Dreamweaver and put it
live on my site, only the thumbnails show up. What am I doing
wrong

For styling of background colours, background images, text colours/sizes, you will need to create a stylesheet and write rules that apply to various elements on your page and these will be rendered in design view.
Have a look through this tutorial - it's a fairly basic css tutorial that will teach you how to create a stylesheet and how to apply rules as explained above.

No Photo Album

Greetings Mac World,
I used macs over 10 years ago and came back this summer. I love the new iPhoto '08 organizational features. My cousin was building a photo album in iPhoto for over five hours (there were a lot of photos). I went to edit a few things on her front and back cover. The computer sent a message that the application was closing and did I want to reopen. I didn't read why it closed. I just said yes from previous experience that everything should still be okay. However, when I did that all of how she organized the book was gone.
I thought iPhoto saves everything as you go. Am I wrong? How do I get the way she had the album back? What can I do from preventing this the next time? I have the latest update of iPhoto.

nu2macnorfar:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What happened was iPhoto was writing to the library's database file, Library6.iPhoto, at the time of the crash and it got corrupted/damaged. If you still have the albums and other aspects of the library intact then you're very lucky. Most report losing all of the library, i.e. iPhoto reporting no photos in the library, and have to start over by reimporting the Originals folder from the old library into a new one.
To prevent this type of loss in the future see the tip at the end of my signature. The application I created will backup the database file whenever you want. iPhoto doesn't have to be closed to use it, only idle. I use it like I would use Command-S in a text editor, frequently.
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.

How can I remove my iCloud Photo Albums from my iPhone 6 storage, but still use the iCloud Photo Sharing?

I put all my photos from my iPod Touch 4 and my iPhone 4S in iCloud Photo Albums and Labeled them so that when I got the new iPhone 6 on iOS 8.1.2 I could have my previous photos on there for future use. Now I look on my iTunes app on my computer it shows that my storage on my iPhone 6 is almost full. Those Photos in iCloud are taking up all my storage on my iPhone. I know how to add more storage on my iCloud account, I just want to know Is there a way where my iCloud Photo Albums can still be in my iCloud Account, just not taking up all my storage on my iPhone.

Hello mushysun,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

How do I delete downloaded photo albums from my iPhone 4 if I don't have the original computer?

My old computer crashed causing me to lose everything. I have a photo album on my iPhone that I would like to get rid of but i can't seem to figure out how to on my new computer. Is it possible to get rid of that album without factory resetting my phone and losing everything?

Try this (not 100% sure it will work, though.)
Transfer all your photos from the device to your computer:
Then, do an iCloud or iTunes backup.
Erase all content & settings.
Restore from the backup.

Can't select any photos in camera roll or photo album... help!

I have a iphone 3Gs on 4.2.1
If I go to my camera roll or any photo album, I can enter but if I select an image in the camera roll or photo album it just automatically closes and goes back to the home screen. Hard reboot, reboot is still the same.
Any suggestions as to the cause?
Thanks in advance!

I am having the same thing as well. I click the photos app, I try view the photos I have taken, it just closed out of the photos app and goes straight back to the home screen. There is another way to see the photos you have taken. You click on the camera, then you click on the photos on the bottom left corner, it works for me. I can see all the pictures I have taken.
I've been having problems with my camera, whenever I take a picture (with/without flash) my photos turn out black, was wondering if anyone can help us out about this problem.

How do I delete photo albums from my IPhone that don't show up in Itunes?

I have an IMac recently upgraded to OSX 10.9. My Iphone is a 4S running 7.0.4. I know how to manage songs and photos using ITunes, but somehow my entire photo library has been synched to my IPhone. The odd thing is the photos don't show up when I run the Preview Application (one way to remove photos from the IPhone). Only the Camera Roll photos show up there. And in ITunes I do not have any albums checked to synch. I have no idea how the albums got onto my phone, and no idea how to remove them.
In ITunes, I make sure no photo albums are selected, and I choose "synch," but they just won't remove from the Iphone. When I look under "Settings" "General" on my Iphone sometimes it shows over 8,000 photos and sometimes 2,000 photos. But the albums never are removed. Another strange thing is that in ITunes "Photos" at the bottom where you see the colored visuals of what applications are using space "Other" consumes more than half my space.
I'm about ready to do a factory reset. Can anyone help????

. Another strange thing is that in ITunes "Photos" at the bottom where you see the colored visuals of what applications are using space "Other" consumes more than half my space.
that can sometimes happen, when trying to update the software failed. Then partially downloaded updates will take up a lot of space. Photos synced to iDevices can only be removed by syncing again.
If syncing again with just one small album with a single photo selected will not remove the synced albums, back up the iPhone to iTunes and restore the device to factory settings:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
Restoring should get rid of the "other" and the synced albums.
