Making a photo book, can't remove borders

I'm trying to make a picture book, but every layout I try leaves a thin border or seam between the solid color of the layout and my inserted photo. Is there any way to remove the seam completely?

Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos, create a book and check to see if the same problem persists. If it doesn't then your current library is the culprit.
In that case make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • When making a photo book, my iPhoto freezes during uploading the book to the store after assembly.  I have attempted this 4 times now and I don't know what to do! I know the file size is massive due quantity of large images. How can I get past this?

I know the file size is massive due quantity of large image files, but I don't want to reduce the image file size and compromise quality in the book. How can I get past this?

    Hi shldr2thewheel,
         it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
    Sincerely in need of help once again,
    Kim

  • How do I sort the photos in the photo pane when making a photo book?

    There's a certain order that I'd like to see the photos I want to use when making a photo book.  But the order that I have it in (which is done manually and not by date) in the album does not appear in the same order when I want to turn some of those photos into a photo book.  For some reason the photos that appear on the right side of the screen, "photo pane" show the photos in a different order.  Is there some kind of setting that I'm missing?

    No - they are in date order - the only solution I've seen is to ues teh batch change command time & Date command on the photos in the album to put them in date order to match the album  --  or just drag them to the book pages in the order you want them

  • When I order 4 Aperture photo books can they be sent to 4 different addresses?

    I am using Apple Aperture on an iMac. I plan to order soon at least 4 photo books and more later. Can 4 printed books be shipped to 4 different addresses in one order, or do I have to make 4 separate orders? If Apple has filled an order to print a photo book can I make another order without having to upload the book again, since Apple has the book from the previous order?

    All parts of an order have to be delivered to the same delivery address. And for additional copies you have to place a new order and upload the book again.

  • HT201170 Force quit iPhoto while making a photo book

    I had to force quit iPhoto while I was making a photo book. The photo book is still there but the photos I recently added (after laboriously scanning them in) are no longer viewable in the side bar with all the project photos. They are also gone from my iPhoto library. When I view each photo page individually the 'missing photos' are still on the pages yet when I view 'all pages' they are not there. Worried if I go to purchase, they won;t be on the pages at all.

  • Making a photo book from multiple albums

    Hello.
    I recently returned from week long trip and have created photo albums for each individual day (9 albums)
    I now want to bring them all into 1 photo book but cannot seem to figure out how to do it. Do I have to just copy everything into one huge album?
    Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
    Matt

    In case you might want to order a second copy of the book at a later date the following tutorial describes a way to archive the library containing just the photos in the book for easy retrieval: Old Toad's Tutorial #9a - Archiving an iPhoto 7/8 Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date. With this method you don't need to worry about losing the book due to removing photos from the library, deleting the book in the library, etc. I do it for every book I create and order.

  • Photo book - can't edit pages

    I recently upgraded to iphoto '11 so that I could make use of the photo book feature.  I can create a photo book with no problems, but once it's created, I can't click on any photos within the photo book to change them around, I can't resize the photos or zoom in and out.  I can't even add text to the pages.  It's as though when I'm clicking the page it doesn't recognise that I'm clicking it. Does anybody know what has happened and how to resolve the issue? 
    All the best

  • Making a Photo Book with i Photo 5

    I am in the process of creating a photo book in I Photo 5 using Classic Design theme. Is there any way to change the theme for a particular page. There are always 2 caption boxes under a picture in Classic theme and sometimes a name is automatically added in in the first box under each picture I add. I only want one text box under each picture and am not sure if both boxes will be printed out, even if there is no text in the box. When I choose 'Page type' and pick a number for pictures, then when I click 'Page Design,' it only shows me a box diagram of the number of pictures previously picked. I am not able to change the Page design. I am frustrated, would like different themes for different pages when I don't want text. Am tempted to switch to Shutterfly, but want to give this a chance. Have spent hours to this point getting the pictures ready.

    there is no way to change a page on a specific theme. those pages on a theme are pre set and you cannot change them on the process of creating the book. sorry about that, hope this helps.
    Cheers!

  • Mini book, can't remove "title here"

    After creating an album with a different company, I have spent all day resizing and centering the pages to fit in mini albums for their family members.
    Finally, I'm done.
    Problem: on the cover page I dropped a photo in. There is the text that says "title here". I thought I would just be able to click on it and edit. But I can't. When I click on it, it only allows me to edit the whole page, not the text. I haven't been able to find any way to fix it. Can anyone help?
    Thanks,

  • Can you share photo books

    Hello!
    I am making a photo book on my macbook as a gift for a client at work and i want to put it on my boss's macbook pro for backup. I tried to email it and drop it in to an email but i cant drag it or open it. Is there any way to move this or share it to another computer? Let me know asap! Thanks
    Stepanie

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Can you connect to your boss's MBP via a LAN? If so you can connect to his Mac and copy the library to designated folder. Otherwise, put the library on a Flash drive and transfer it that way.
    If the library is large you can reduce it to just the photos in the book (and others that you think you might want to use) by following Old Toad's Tutorial 9a - Archiving an iPhoto 7/8 Book for Later Use/Editing. The bottom line is that the entire library has to be transferred so make it as small as possible, i.e cull out the unneeded photos first.
    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 versions) 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 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: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.
