Help. Need iPhoto Book Specs / Anyone who has order a book or knows?

I'm getting ready to scan my color photos and then place an order for a iPhoto book. I'll set my scanner to decrease or enlarge (75%..100%.. 200%) for whatever size I need. I need to know the specs the photos should be scanned at for max quality and / or the order requirements.
300 DPI CMYK TIFF? (regular offset printer specs)
72 DPI RGB JPEG?
Or other?
Does it matter if it's a TIFF or JPEG? Tiff's can be uncompressed so perhaps better quality, but larger file size to send when ordering a book.
Is there a max about of total megs the book can be or not be for it to be accepted when ordering? Is there a max meg size that I need to stay under for each image?
I'm not looking for a long theory on dpi and ppi, I know all that, just need to know the requirments for these iPhoto books. I'm almost certain it's the first, offset printer specs. Just want to double check before I scan.
Thanks.

Yes. 300 DPI is the standard for printing on an offset press. So is CMYK. I'm positive the printing company that Apple is using is converting the .pdf files to a CMYK profile that matches their printing press. This is the only way for them to make the 4 color plates. If you look at an sRGB image on screen it may look great but when printed in CMYK, as the books are printed, it might look darker.
See this Apple help:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93298%22
To test this, open an sRGB image in PS and go Image > Mode > Convert to profile. Select US Sheet Fed Coated or US Web Coated. You can see how the color shifts. Usually CMYK is darker than RGB. Dark details in an RGB image that looks acceptable can get muddy when printed on an offset printing press in CMYK.
From what I've learned in graphic arts, printers suggest if you're concerned about color shifting, then do the image correction in CMYK and placing images in your document in CMYK. That way you have a better representation of what the final image will look like once it's printed. (aside monitor calibration) This is the standard procedure that I'm familiar with when working with images that will be printed in brochures and catalogs and so on.
Questions:
How did you find out that the images MUST be sRGB?
What would happen if you used a corrected CMYK image?
Did you compare your actual sRGB image to the final printed book and see if there was a color shift?
The reason for my concern is that I have some old photos that have bad shadow detail and color shifted with age. In sRGB they look okay but when they get printed on the CMYK press I'm concerned they might get muddy in dark areas. This is why I wanted to correct them in CMYK, get them to look good, then place them in the book.

Attempting to Import iphoto book to i-photo

I would like to post several iphoto books to iweb.
I am using iphoto in ilife 08.
1. I installed ilife and i believe it imported all my photo files.
2. I created a book.
3. I have attempted to post the book for others to view. Each Time I hit save as Iphoto
I belive that is saving the PDF files in I-photo as Jpeg. The dialogue box goes through the saving process pages 1-20. I get the dialogue box to name and save. When I hit save in less than 30 seconds, I get the Theapplication unexpectidly quit dialgue box.
In attempting this over with three books over the past few days, I did find by happenstance find some files saved as JPEG in the trash. I was able to import those to iphoto and then create a web page.
How can I get the program to work like I photo 6.
I have 6 or 8 books to complete....
Can I go back to Iphoto 6 ?
Please advise.

Bob:
What you're experiencing is an bug that came up with iPhoto 7. It's been discussed extensively along the way. One possible fix is to make sure you have no text boxes left empty. If you have any like that just put a space in it. That fixed it for some.
Others reported that their upgrade to Leopard corrected the problem for them. You can do a search in this forum for PDF and crash to find those topics and see if any of the other possible fixes might work for you.
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 created 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. 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.

Iphoto's keep moving photo's to old mac mini

My wife had a mac mini and bought a macbook pro. She migrated her stuff to the macbook. Now Iphoto keeps sending the photo's to the mini and photo's do not stay on the mb. Sharing on the mb is off.

The photos that are appearing on the mini - are they photos taken with an iPhone or iPad? If so, open System Preferences on both computers and select the iCloud tab. On the mini, click the Photos checkmark off and on the MBP click the Photos checkmark on (if it isn't already), then start iPhoto and select Preferences. Select the Photo Stream tab and make sure Photo Stream is on.

Need help moving photos to external drive

Hi, all--here's hoping one or more of you Aperture veterans can help.
Here's my situation: I'm not new to photography, but I'm new to Aperture. Just bought 3.3 and still getting to know what it can do. I'm an emigre from iPhoto, and one of the reasons I upgraded within Apple is that I was tired of the non-intuitive nature of PS Elements. I like to take pictures, not spend endless time in the dim glow of a screen digging through sub-menus for stuff, and from what I read, Aperture seemed more intuitive.
But now I've got a seemingly very basic problem that hours of poring over discussion threads and searching through the hundreds of pages of the manual has done little to address with any clarity:
How do I move (not just copy) older photos in projects to external drives, but in such a way that Aperture still keeps track of them, even when the drives are not connected? (The Aperture marketing I read/viewed clearly said Aperture could do this, and I'm running out of space on my MacBook Pro (15" from about 2008, running Lion) with lots of CF cards piling up.)
Info that may help:
-I need to move not just original (imported into iPhoto directly from the camera) photos, but also those I've adjusted in Elements, then re-exported into iPhoto (I would say "and now into Aperture," but as you know, there's no longer an import process b/w iPhoto and Aperture).
-I shoot mostly RAW.
-I have no idea whether the pictures are "Referenced" or "Managed" (for space reasons, I have yet to import any files directly into Aperture; all existing photos are from iPhoto, and if I was given an option when I set up Aperture, I don't now recall it).
-I have external drives with plenty of space to move older pix to (I also have multiple backups, including Time Machine, additional external hard drives, and DVDs)
Can somebody who knows how to do this safely please explain in clear language how to move photos as projects onto external hard drives so that Aperture keeps track of them via viewable thumbnails, even when the photo files themselves live on a hard drive that is not connected at the time?
Thanks in advance!

First things first:
You can easily check if an image is managed or referenced by ctrl-clicking on an image version and selecting "Locate referenced files...". If Aperture says "No Referenced Files", your originals are managed by Aperture and stored within the library itself, otherwise it should show you the location of the original, and give you some options to verify the references and so on. I don't know which method is used when importing from iPhoto.
Now, here's something you need to ask yourself:
Does it make more sense for you to keep the library on your laptop and the originals on an external drive, or does it make more sense to move both the library and the originals to the external drives?
In the first case, you can open and look at the thumbnails, but there's not a whole lot else you can do with your images when the external drive is off line.
If you have vast amounts of originals, spread across multiple drives, it might make sense to keep the library on your laptop and connect whichever external drive you need at the time. However, it might also make more sense to split such a huge library into mutiple libraries, stored with their respective originals (which could be either managed or referenced).
In my case, it makes sense to keep multiple libraries, with managed originals, but your mileage may vary.
Here's a tip that might help you decide: A small library is quicker to navigate and work with than a huge one, although performance has improved vastly with later versions of Aperture.
Once you have decided on the appropriate organization, you can start moving things around (after you've created the appropriate backups):
If your library contains all managed originals already, and you want to move the entire library off to the external drive:Simply drag and drop the library itself (using Finder) to the new location.
If your library use referenced originals, and you want to keep it that way, or your library manages your originals, and you want to start using referenced originals:
Select all your images
Click on the File menu and select Relocate Originals...
Locate the destination for your originals, and pay special attention to the "Subfolder Format" and "Name Format". I'd suggest choosing "Project Name" and "Original File Name" for the two.
Click on Relocate Originals, and twiddle your thumbs while Aperure moves all your originals to the new location.
If your library uses referenced originals, and you wish to let your library manage the originals:
Select all your images
Click on the File menu and select Consolidate Originals...
Decide if you want to Copy or Move the originals into the library. If you're running out of space, it might be best to Move.
Click Ok, and wait for the operation to complete.
(Optional) If you wish to move your entire library to the external drive, drag and drop the library to the new location.
I hope that answers your question.

HELP moving photo's from hard drive with aperture to hard drive with iphoto

I was trying to move the photo's from hard drive a with aperture to hard drive b and start using iphoto but I have had no luck. In aperture when I select relocate masters a error comes up and say's: unavailable master images cannot be relocated. Either offline or not found. I originally had the masters on a external hard drive, when I got divorced my ex took the external drive for her mac. I am able to view the photos but I don't know how to move them. Thanks

I think you're missing the point - it's a question of where the images are, and it sounds a lot like the images are on the hard disk you used to own.
Managed = you keep the images in the Aperture library
Referenced = the images stay where they are on the hard disk and they're indexed in the library.

Need help moving photos from iphone3gs to 'My Pictures' or sync with itunes

Hi, I've recently bought a new iphone 3GS, unfortunately my PC crashed, which was already synced with my iphone. I had saved ALL my photos to my iphone temporarily while I wiped my system and reinstalled Windows 7... now I have 4000 photos stored on my iphone which I want on my PC. The problem is when I connect the iphone to my PC it detects the device as a camera/iphone but only lets me view the pictures on the 'Camera Roll' and not my 'Photo Library'.
How do I move the photos on the iphones 'Photo Library' to my PC?????

The photo sync is one way: computer to phone. Apple makes no provision to recover photos synced to your phone as the iphone is not a backup device and should not be used as such. You will have to use third party software to recover your photos from your phone. What OS are you running on your computer?

IPhoto Books Snow Lion: Photos converted with errors

On my new MacBook Air Lion was preinstalled, iPhoto11 is running. The data was transferred from my old MacBook (SnowLeopard, iPhoto11) through the Apple-Team (One-to-One).
Two problems occur - the more puzzling first: Pictures are transformed for Books to order with peculiar mistakes. These cannot be due to missing original data - as photos spread over two pages will be okay on the left side, but with flaws on the right side (see picture taken when looking at Preview of finished book).
If I create PDFs from books instead of Previews, things get worse: 99% of all pictures are corrupted.
Help possible?
The second problem are pictures lost in their edited version: When double-clicking the thumbnail to edit the picture, a warning sign appears: Image not found.
The same is true if I want to watch Slideshows. If i click on "show original in finder" on the thumbnail, then the original is found there, and intact. But the edited version is gone.
How do I show iPhoto the way back to the originals? Can the edited photos be found again?

In regards to the first problem see this topic: Problem on creating Book: Apple Support Communities
The second problem: you get that when iPhoto loses or breaks the file path to the original file. How you did the transfer will affect how to go about fixing it.

Lost photos: icloud msg - deleted photos - gone from iphoto too- help, lost photos: icloud msg - deleted photos - gone from iphoto too- help

HELP! It appears as though I have lost most of my photos from 2012/13. Could be any number of issues. Most likely: i-cloud sent me a msg saying I was running out of space and suggested I make room by deleting stuff. I did. I deleted photos as I thought I had them all on i-photo. Now they're just gone. I've checked my different libraries. I tried to open a library I backed up to an external hard drive but it wouldn't open, saying I needed to update using updater. I installed up-dater. Nothing happened. Still get the same message. And now I can't open iphoto at all. Was updated when I installed Maverick, was it not? Anyway, app store says its updated. So perhaps the issue is Maverick?

You might get better results asking in the iPhoto forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/iphoto.

IPhoto book help

When I order book a message comes up saying: Your book seems to have frames on one or more pages that do not contain photos. You must either change the layout of those pages or place photos in those frames before you can proceed with this book. Called Apple they said to make a new book. Wouldn't the same thing happen as I would be using my same photos.
I have checked all my pages for background pictures and they all have one. This is driving me nuts. Any help would be appreciated.

Check your page layouts for one like this as lèonie suggested:
The page may show a photo on it but the background also requires a photo. So change the layout to one of the color layouts.

Need iPhoto '11 help (file location and duplicates)

I recently upgraded to Lion and am having problems in iPhoto that I've never had before.
1: Where is the actual photo file? The photos successfully load into iPhoto but they do NOT appear in my hard drive in my "Pictures" file. When I try to attach them to an email, a "Media" section opens and I can attach from iPhoto that way but I'm not seeing the actual photo file. I don't want to delete photos from my camera without being positive that the file is on my computer.
2: Duplicates! Holy duplicates! The first time I did an upload in iPhoto it uploaded everything in triplet. The second time I did an upload, it attempted to upload in double but I selected only one of each. How do I get it to not do this at all? Why would I want duplicate photos in the first place?

1. How the files are stored has nothing to do with the OS you're on. Obviously, the last version of iPhoto you had was v6 or earlier.
Since iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
Want to look inside?
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Standard Warning:
Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things,, deleting them or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Help moving photos from starter edition 3.2 to Elements 11

How do I move photos from Photoshop starter edition 3.2 to Photoshop

Your photos are just files somewhere on your harddrive and you import them via the organizer. Doesn't really involve any specifics beyond that.

Most predictable iPhoto book results

Hi -
I'm getting ready to order my first iPhoto book, but after reading in this forum about the problems that people have had with sRGB vs. Adobe RGB, and 1.8 vs. 2.2 gamma settings, etc, I want to make sure that my order is as predictable as possible. I don't have a thorough understanding of what I'm talking about when I use these terms, but I want to make at least a minimal best effort to do this right the first time.
1. After reading in these discussions, it seems that in most cases, the color profile called "Camera RGB" is close enough to "sRGB" for the purposes of printing iPhoto books. Any photos in my book that are NOT either "Camera RGB" or "sRGB" should be converted to "sRGB". Is this correct?
2. Gamma 1.8 vs. 2.2 - I have a relatively new iMac and the default Display Profile is set to "iMac". When I change it to "sRGB IEC61966-2.1", I hate the affect that it has on the color in general. Everything becomes significantly more bluish and somewhat darker. I used the 'calibrate' function in System Preferences, and that helped a bit, but I don't want to go through the trouble or expense of purchasing a stick-on-the-screen hardware color tester. Do I need to be changing my monitor settings at all, or can I just change my Display Profile back to "iMac" and ignore this issue all together ?
Thanks for any help you may have to offer.

doogles:
1 - yes. the Camera RGB is very close to sRGB and will give good results. That's what I use. If I do any editing with Photoshop then I'll apply the sRGB profile so as to be consistant.
2 - as far as the monitor profile, I suggest you stick with the iMac. It's an iffy thing and unless you can't print and get reasonably close colors yourself don't change. This site has some good color test chart files you can download and print to see how close your monitor matches the printer. If it's good I would expect the book to be as well.
The key is to not have some Abobe RGB profiles scattered among the others in a book. They print up very differently.
Before ordering be sure to Control click next to a page in the book mode (not on the page) and select Safe as PDF in the contextual menu. Open the pdf file with Preview and check the text and color so make sure all looks well. If it does go ahead and order. Good luck.
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. 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.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
