Making photo books on iPad

Is there a way to create photo books on the ipad2? One of the main reasons I purchased the ipad2 was to edit and organize photos with the touch screen. I love the feature on iphoto, but can't seem to find anything comparable on my ipad.

There is no iPhoto program on the iPad. Your friend would need to transfer the photos back to computer to what you're asking, as far as I know. I don't think most websites that support that sort of thing would be iPad compatible. You might also trying checking out the App Store to see if there are any apps that might have such a function.
Best of luck.

Creating photo book on iPad

Hello,
I am getting the impression that I can't use my new iPad for creating photo books from my snapfish/shutterfly accounts? One of the big reasons I got an iPad was to continue my hobby of making photo books online, having the photo books be created by snapfish, and then paying for them to be created and sent to me.
Do u know of any other way around this? I feel like an idiot for not investing this before purchasing an iPad, and hope that I don't need to buy a lap top/desk top.
Thanks,
Molly

Hi Molly,
Adobe makes several iPad apps for working with photos but none currently for creating the type of photobooks which are commercially printed and mailed to you. Adobe Lightroom 4 which was just released has features for creating photo books of this type, but that runs on a computer not on an iPad obviously. Adobe makes a program called Adobe Revel, which allows you to upload your photos to a cloud service to be able to view all your photos on all your devices (iPad, iPhone, Mac, and eventually on Windows computers). Adobe Revel, like Lightroom, allows you to apply non-destructive global edits and effects to your images and supports sending out to Email, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Flickr. I'm not aware of any apps that allow you to do what you are seeking, you might check with Snapfish and Shutterfly to see if they have recommendations.

The digitization of data has introduced a complexity to our interactions with it that we continue to struggle with. "Picture" and "Photo" now mean different things in different contexts. In this case (and in general) defining our terms clearly is the first step towards understanding what we are trying to do. Understanding is the path that allows us to do it.
All pedantic, but please stick with me here .
You record a set of instantaneous data with a camera.
That data is processed by your camera and saved to a file.
The file format is usually either RAW or JPG.
You transfer those files to your computer, and you import them into the program Aperture (often in one operation).
From each camera-file imported, Aperture creates a record in its database (called, imho unhelpfully, a Library) and an Image that you see in the Aperture Browser and Viewer.
Aperture links the Image and the imported file.
The imported file is called, within Aperture, an Original.
Every Image has an Original.
The Image is not the Original. The Image is what you see in Aperture.
The Original is a file that is stored on your computer.
You can make changes to an Image.
Aperture calls these changes Adjustments.
Adjustments are saved to another file attached to the record in the database. Let's call this file the Changes File.
Aperture uses these two files attached to the record in the database to create the Image.
Image = Original + Changes File.
The Image is not a file.
Because the Image is not a file, it cannot be shared with other programs. It exists only inside of Aperture.
In order to share an Image with another program, you must first create a file of the Image.
You do this by exporting Images ("File ▹ Export ▹ Version" is the command in Aperture; should be, imho, "File ▹ Export ▹ Image").
You may ask, "Why all the complexity? Why doesn't Aperture save Images as files?" The answer is simple: Images can require less — and in many cases very very much less — storage space than files of Images. Rather than save a full-size file for every Image, Aperture saves only instructions on how to make that full-size file. The gain in storage efficiency is huge. The trade-off is that although your Images are always available to be made into share-able files, you must create those files when needed (which you do by exporting selected Images).
Here is your question reworded with more precise terms:

No, there is not. Images exist only in Aperture, and are not accessible for use in other programs. You must create, for each Image in your Aperture Library, a new file outside of your Aperture Library in order to use it with another program.
Aperture does allow you to create and save within your Library share-able files of your Images. These files are called Previews. You specify the file parameters in Aperture Preferences on the Previews tab. These files are available to other programs via the OS X Media Browser. These files are what you get when you drag selected Images out of the Aperture program and drop them on another program or on your desktop (which is part of the Finder).

How do I open the square photo books from iPad in iPhoto Mac ?

I began creating a square photo book on iPad (iOS7) and decided that I would create the book on my Macbook instead (Mavericks) - so I could access my full photo library. However I can only see rectangular photo book templates on the Mac.
Questions:
- Is it user error or are the templates totally different on Mac and on IOS?
- Is there any way to transfer a square photo book project from iPad to Mac via iTunes or iCloud?
Thanks :-)

Just about the only thing iPhoto for Mac and iPhoto for iOS share is a name.
So, no, it's not user error, the templates are different
and
No, there's no way to transfer any book project.

Transfer photo books to ipad?

I used Aperture to make a photo book. While I'm waiting for Apple to print it, how can I transfer the actual book, including the layout, to my iPad?
Note: I want the book and not just a bunch of photos.
Thanks

That was the solution. Have to admit that I had a little trouble figuring how to get it from my computer to the iPad (file>add to library>select file>open and then you're off and running).
The only issue...and it's minor...is that I when I rotate the iPad into the landscape mode, the file does not rotate with the iPad. Perhaps you guys have an explanation for that.
At any rate, many thanks for the quick turnaround and answer (which was right on target).

IPhoto only shows one photo (first one) when making Photo Book?

I clicked the + to add the album, I chose the "Book" option, but it only lets me use the first photo in the album. The other 60 photos aren't in the view bar above. How do I get all of the photos to appear so that I can arrange the photo book, or do Autoflow?
Also, what am I missing that I used to be able to see thumbnails and I can only see that in Full Screen now?
thanks-

Try selectihng all of the photos in the album instead of just clicking on the album and dragging them onto the book icon. That will add the photos to the book. You can do the same with any photos in the library: just drag a photo onto the book icon to add the photo to the book.

Iphoto's Photo Books and Ipad

I have recently decided to use my ipad as my photo album and was wondering if there was a way to put the books that I made in iphoto on to the ipad.To do this currently I have to use PDF format to view them but I was wondering if I could use the lovely page turning idea from ibooks on the iphoto books that I have made. Is there a setting that I can turn on or a way to save it in the format that I would need to do that. I already no the trick into putting the PDF into itunes but I would really like the ibooks format to be there is there anyway to turn this on or download it or is it in iphoto 11.

Not that I am aware of - suggest to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

Photo books on iPad?

My friend just got an iPad. She wants to make a book. Is the iPhoto programme the same as it is in my iMac? Can she make a book from her photos after she uploads her photos? Thanks anyone.

I don't think most websites that support that sort of thing would be iPad compatible. You might also trying checking out the App Store to see if there are any apps that might have such a function.

Making photo books

Since Lightroom lacks a book-making feature like iPhoto and Aperture, I wonder what others have used to make books and what you recommend. I'm aware of several online book-making services, like blurb.com.

Ross,
I use Yophoto in the UK. You download their small application, drag and drop your chosen images into the pages and that's it. There are many type of book option, page layout options available and even some editing options in the application and for the price the end results are really quite good. I chose the leather backed landscape book because most of my images are of landscapes and the page size of the book is better geared to maintaining the original format of my images. I found a lot of the competition had strange page size options - ok for snap shots etc but would have meant a lot of cropping and resizing had I taken this route. Delivery to Germany was also very quick.

Creating a photo book with captions

I am using Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3 running on Windows. I have created a collection of photos that I want to have printed as an album. I want to maintain the captions and order that I have already set. My preference would be to do this on my desktop rather than uploading them to a service like Snapfish or Kodak Gallery (the upload process is nightmarish and it doesn't appear to maintain the captions). Any suggestions?
Ideally I would like to find a templated tool that would allow me to import my collection with its captions. Then I would send it to Snapfish or Kodak Gallery or Lulu for printing. Maybe I've missed something, but all of those folks seem to want me to upload my photos and then template the book on their site, adding captions manually. This is nuts, particularly if I've already done the work to add captions in Photoshop Album.
As a related question, is there some standard for tagging and captions for photos or does Photoshop Album use some proprietary method?

I can see the caption when I upload the photo to Kodak Gallery, but it doesn't show up when I place it in the photo book. I have a question in to their support team but I still wonder if anyone has had any luck making photo books with the captions created in Photoshop Album Starter.
And the bigger question is: what if I don't want to upload my photos? What if I'd rather make the book on my desktop? Is there any way to do that?

Permissable content for photo books?

I am a professional photographer and am looking at making photo books through Apples service an option for some of their needs.
Some of the work that I may choose to include with an order would be art images (tasteful nudes).
Does anyone have a policy, guideline document or contact info to the 'service' so that I may inquire as to whether this sort of content is not something they wish to handle?
thank you.

My iPad isn't syncing properly - It says it is syncing but then none of my new music, photos, books, or podcasts have been added!

This is getting really annoying as syncing my iPad 1 now take forever. It says it is syncing and goes through all the motions, and it does sync my apps,
but none of my musi, photos, books or podcasts, even though it's only half full so it has plenty of space. What I do at the moment is use "autofill" to add the music and podcasts and then I drag the new books from my iTunes library to my iPad in Itunes (I have a PC, by the way), but I still haven't found a slution for my photos - at present it's supposed to add all the photos in one of my folders on the computer, but it hasn't added the new ones in a long while.
I suspect this might have started when I added iOS 5, but I'm not 100% sure. Another thing I had lots of difficulty with earlier is that the music I synced was all greyed out and couldn't be played, but I solved that by choosing "manually manage music and videos" in Options. This might be why it's not syncing properly, but last time I tried reverting that it just greyed out my music again! What do I do?
Oh, one last thing - the music and books I'm adding at the moment aren't purchased from the Itunes stores, if that helps. Just the podcasts, and they seem to eventually add themselves after the sync.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

How can I publish a photo book using an iPad

Can someone walk me through publishing a hard back photo book using an iPad .I have iPhoto app installed

I don't believe you can create and publish a book directly from the iPhoto for iOS app. You can create a journal which can be published to iCloud, but that's the only sharing feature I can find. There may be third-party software that can do this; the HP Photobook App has been mentioned, but I know nothing about it. Otherwise, if you want to create a book, I think you'll have to transfer your photos to a computer and use software there (iPhoto for Mac OS X, if you have a Mac).

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

I want to work on a photo book on home, work, or ipad computers. How do I save a book or transfer it to another device?

I make photo books from collections of pictures using iPhoto and then order them from the Apple store. Sometimes I don't finish them on one of the computers I regularly use (macbook pro, iMac, iPad) and would like to save the partly finished book on a disk or thumb drive so I can transfer it to one of the other devices to continue working on it. It is easy to transfer all of the pictures, but I see no way to save a book, burn it to a CD or DVD, or transfer it over a network. You can delet the book or convert it to pdf or slideshow, but all I want to do is finish working on it before I order the book.

Either transfer the entire library to the MacBook Pro and work on it there or try the method described in this tutorial to reduce the size of a copy of the library to just the pictures in the book (and those you think you might want to use) and use that on the MPB: #9a - Archiving an iPhoto 7(08)/8(09)/9(11) Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date
