Non standard format images from the iPhoto print service

Can anyone tell me how to get the iPhoto print service to leave my images alone? They default to filling their 10 x 8 or 7 x 5 paper sizes. Nowhere on the order form do they tell you they're going to do this and I can't find anywhere to tell them not to.
They also supplied the prints in neat card wallets with "Do not bend" in nice red boxes printed on them. These were then dispatched in a plain white envelope with no such notices on it. Not surprisingly the prints arrived bent!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. When you click on the Buy button the available print sizes that Apple provides are displayed and you have to fill in how many of each you want. There is no custom size available, at least here in the states. What size(s) did you select in the order window?

Didn't you get a similar window over there?
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.

IPhoto printing service not available in Australia?

Has anyone heard any news as to why the iPhoto printing service is not available in Australia? It's very disappointing as this was a great selling point to me, I just presumed that it may take time to set up, but still nothing...
I can still print calenders, cards & prints off my home printer of course, but it's not the same as professional printing. It seems a shame as the software costs the same for everyone, but we have features that we can't use.
Does anyone know why this is?
Cheers!

No comment on why Apple has not made this service available themselves in Australia, but there are a number of other options. For the ultimate in convenience and excellent quality, you can use digitaldavinci.com.au. They have an iPhoto plugin which will let you send books, cards and calendars to them. So this is pretty much the same as the Apple service anyway, although I think - but haven't checked myself - that the price is a bit higher.
Alternatively, I have had very good results sending a PDF of a book to myreflections.com.au. This is obviously not quite as convenient, but the quality is still very good and the price even better.
So there are definitely printing options available from iPhoto, especially for books, not so much for prints, and at least one option I know of for calendars and cards. I haven't used the calendar or card service though, just the book printing service from both DDV and MyReflections.
Hope this helps.

How can I get an image from the screen? Like screen printer in PC to pasting after in word or other program.

How can I get an image from the screen? Like screen printer in PC to pasting after in word or other program.

If you do Cmd+Shift+3 you'll get a full screen image saved to your desktop as a jpg file.
Also, you can use Cmd+Shift+4 and you'll get a cursor which you click+drag to draw a box. When you release the drag the boxed in area will be saved to the Desktop as a jpg file.

You do not need to do anything - iPhoto always keeps the original and you can revert to it at any time
If you want to be able to see the original and the cropped version in iPhoto at the same time duplicate the photo (this does not really duplicate but simply starts a new edit stream for the photo - command-d) and crop the duplicate

I too had this problem after I redeemed two $50 gift cards. I solved the problem by uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it. Give it a try.

Display image from the save link in the field

Hi all,
I have a image link that saved in a column and will like this picture to be displayed once user is click on the image link in the tabular format.
However, now I am facing the problem to perform query of the record because one of the field type is image or ole. However, if I changed the image link to normal text item. I am able to perform query search on the record. My question is, can I click on the record whenever I want to see the image from the tabular form ? I prefer tabular form as I can see a lot of records in one sort. But for the image display, I will like user to clock on the specific link in order to open up the image.
Will this possible ?
Thanks
Lim

If you are saving the image path in table not the image then why don't you use the READ_IMAGE_FILE built-in (see forms help).
What i mean is hide the actual item which is having the image location. Just create one image item from toolbar (non-database) and create one extra button in the same block to display the image then use the READ_IMAGE_FILE built-in as below in WHEN-BUTTON-PRESS-TRIGGER...
READ_IMAGE_FILE(:path_item_name,NULL,'image_item_name');
Preferred way would be to save the image in database then query in your form using database image.

I have an Air running Mountain Lion. I also have a digital point-and-shoot camera, but have never downloaded any images from the camera to this Air. If I connect the camera to the Air, what might I expect? Will connecting the camera to the Air by a cable

I have an 11" Air with lots of remaining capacity running Mountain Lion. I also have a digital point-and-shoot camera. I have never downloaded images from the camera to this Air. However, if I just connect the camera to the Air's USB port, with the camera's available cable, and the Air is open, will a program like ImageCapture or iPhoto, auomatically come up, and I can begin to download wanted images? Or, will this sort of connection delete or fry everything on the Air? Do I need any other software on board? Will current Apple onboard programs allow me to download images from my camera and not destroy everything else?

Answered. Thanks.

Strangely enough we can not see you so it really helps if you share with use exactly what you have, exactly what you did and details about the problem
what version of iPhoto and of the OS? What exact steps did you do? where are you seeing these "thousands of cascading photos" now and using what software and what exactly did you want to accomplish
The correct way to move your iphoto library to an external drive is to verify the drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journal) and then drag the iphotl library intact as a single entity to is
The correct way to move some or all of your photos is to select them in iphoto and export 9file menu ==> export -- https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921 ) to the external drive

How to retrieve photos directly from the iPhoto library?

I have over 18 GB and rising of photos in my iPhoto library. Suppose I had to change to a Windows machine or for some other reason I could not access my photos via iPhoto. Fanciful I know, but I am not so much concerned with the probability of something going wrong but with the calamity that would result if something did go wrong. I note that some years ago Microsoft changed the file structure of their Word files from a proprietary one to an open access one to allow easy access to the text. So how could my photos be retrieved directly from the iPhoto library?
Perhaps the answer is to send the library to a tech firm like the ones that retrieve data from damaged hard drives and they could pick off the photos and return them as a set of image files in a folder. But is it actually possible for anyone to do that?

If, at some time in the future, you want to get all of your original image files onto an external HD in folders representing the Events in your iPhoto Library here are the simple steps to follow:
1 - select all of the Events in your library.
2 - use the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option and setup the export as shown in this screenshot:
3 - click on the Export button, select the destination where you want to save these folders and continue.

If you right-click an image you can select to "Block Images" from the site, but how do you reverse this choice?

If you right-click an image on a web page you can select to
"Block Images from [the url of the site]".
This works well, particularly to make the page printer-friendly, but how do you reverse this choice to see the images again?

You can see all permissions for the current page in Tools > Page Info > Permissions
If it is from a different domain then use this:
*A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (Site Identification icon) on the left side of the location bar.
*A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
*Open the Media tab of the "Page Info" window.
*Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.
*If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Please help needed os x lion I wish to transfer photos from the iPhoto library to a album or folder then delete them from the Library but when I do this it also deletes them from the album ? how do I do this please.

Albums are not places to store photos, they're more like "labels" you can apply to photos to better organize them. A single image file can be in multiple albums... they are not copies, it's simply been labelled as being in all those albums. So what you're trying to do doesn't make sense, because it's based on incorrect assumptions.
The iPhoto library will always show all photos that you have added to iPhoto.

Saving images from the web?

How can i save an image to computer from the wed - with a pc i used to simply right click and save as - with the mac i have yet to figure it out?

If your mouse hasn't been "set up" and you like it just fine out of the box, as I do, click on the image and hold, then move your (still held down) mouse until the pointer reaches the spot where you wish to deposit the image, then release. I use some extra desktop space along the side, above and below my dock. Later you can put the images where you want them, unedited, or edit them and save them to iPhoto for eventual reuse.
Sorry, forgot that with your 17" display you may not have any extra space, and your hard drive icon may be covered up by a browser window, while the Dock's Finder can't accept a drop even if your dock is visible, in which case my method is no help.
Unless you're using the entire full screen, there should be enough space to deposit images, as only a slim slice, or section, of desktop is necessary. Regardless how small the section, you can always retrieve the image from the desktop view of a Finder window, which at the bottom gives you a count of how many items are on your desktop.
