Ordering Prints '11 - Will Square Format be cropped?

Hi,
I want to try the order prints option in iPhoto 11. I see from older versions of iPhoto that square format photos will get cropped and wondered if anyone knew if this was also true of 11?
I went to order and noticed there is no option to tell them not to crop so am wary to place an order not knowing!
Cheers

Apple does not offer a square print. Nor does it offer a "do not crop" option.
Available print sizes are here

I think you need a different printing service.

Purcahse order print date

Hi SAP-iens
I need field name, table for where purchase order print date will be stored
name of the table and field
Thanks

You'll need to check table NAST - which contains all of the "message" output.
For PO's, the application = 'EF' and the Object Key = PO number. Inside of the record, you'll find the date/time created and the date/time processed.
Keep in mind that no record may exist (i.e., the PO has never been printed) and mulitple rows may exist (i.e., the PO has been re-printed)
Hope this helps.

Ordering prints - should I crop first?

I'm about to order prints from iPhoto for the first time. Apple makes the process easy, but they leave some unanswered questions.
I want 4"x6" prints but my camera takes 4:3 pictures (3072x2304). I've cropped most of them but I wonder how they would handle an image that is not in the right aspect ratio? Do the printers crop it? Or make a print with one dimension less than 4"x6"? Or leave white space on 2 edges of 4"x6" paper?
Do most of you crop first? Thanks for any help, suggestions, etc.

Lisa,
The photos will be resized to fit the 4 x 6 paper so that it will print with no white space. You will lose part of the image and have no control over which part is lost. Cropping first ensures that you get to choose how the photo is positioned. I recommend you keep doing it that way.
One thing I do to prepare for printing is place the photos I want in an album. Then I duplicate all of those photos and remove the original version from the album. I crop each duplicate in the album, then print. When finished, I can delete the cropped duplicates so I don't lose my original aspect ratio. Why, some of you are thinking, don't I just use the Revert to Original command and avoid the whole duplicating business? The answer is that I sometimes use PhotoShop Elements to carefully edit my photos, especially before I print them. If I then used iPhoto to crop for printing, and used Revert to Original to delete the cropping, I would lose my careful editing as well. With my workflow, my edits are preserved, and I only discard the cropping.

Purchase Order print in PDF format directly to vendor

Hi Experts,
I have two requirements regarding PO print out to vendor. I am using release strategy for Purchase Order.
1. When the Purchase Order is fully approved, a mail should go to corrosponding vendor with PO print out in PDF format as an attachment.
2. When PO is cancelled (all PO lines are deleted) then mail should go to vendor that PO has been cancelled.
Please let me know the steps / procedure for these requirements.
regards,
Anand.

Anand,
Hi again!!
Are you planning to send an email to the vendor?
This is possible in many ways..
1. you could send a normal out put via EDI and the vendor can convert the xml file to PDF at his end
2. You could send it as a FAx and the vendor can still receive it as a PDF
3. You can email the vendor in a PDF format
I am sure you understand how an email is sent to the vendor.. You'd have to work with samrtforms to convert the O/p to PDF or convert the spool to PDF.

Will a square format image fit into iPad screen and show full horizontal and vertical image?

Can a square format image be used to place in iPad screen and be viewed as either vertical or horizontal without experiencing unwanted cut off?

No it will not, unfortunately. I just tried it.

HT201289 Aperture will not allow me to order prints?

I have tried for days now to order prints using Aperture. All my info is correct and I constantly get a red message that flashes on saying, "try again later". Is this a problem with the software? If so it is too pricey not to work correctly.

Neither Firefox nor IE will allow me to order on Amazon. Both Chrome & Safari will. Amazon tech support says the issues probably lies with Windows. Amazon doesn't have a solution at this moment. Searching on Amazon with FF also often has problems.
As a workaround one can keep, say, Chrome open, & copy & paste the address bar info from FF into Chrome. The info contained therein also has codes identifying you. So for example Chrome shows me as a Prime member & has me signed in.
Safari & Chrome have fewer features. Hope FF fixes this problem.

I ordered a photobook, when I went to purchase it flashed up a warning about default text saying 'printed books will not include this text'. Really dissapointed, my photo book arrived with the default text printed. Will I have to return it?

Was really dissapointed when my photo book arrived with the default text printed. Will I have to return it? Or can I get some sort of discount? I don't live near a post office so I'd rather not have to return it.

Contact Apple support - they can answer that type of questions - we are just users here like yourself
BTW - it is best not to order when you have errors - to resolve that error place a single space in the subject text box
and always
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.

HT1044 Will an iphoto order print with low quality warnings on it?

Will an iphoto order print with low quality warnings on it?

I think so but if you're orderikng large photos they may be a bit fuzzy depending on the pixel dimensions. What are the pixel dimensions of the image giving the warning and what size print are you ordering?
Here are the results of a print test that I ran. The pixel dimensions are the minimum that won't give a warning for the sizes shown:

Ordering Prints via Iphoto

I am absolutely loving my new Imac. I have saved for over a year to get it and just now getting used to Iphoto. I noticed that it gives you the option to create photo books and to order prints of photos.
I see how to select photos to order prints of and I see how to select the sizes of the prints. Is there a way to preview how the photo will look when printed? The reason why I ask is that programs usually crop for 8x10 prints versus 4x6 etc. Is there a way for me to see how it will be cropped?
Also, I don't see that 11x14's are not a size option?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Is there a way to preview how the photo will look when printed?
No. But crop your photos to the same size ratio as the prints you're ordering or it will be done automatically and you may lose some parts that you don't won't to lose.

Problem ordering prints

Hello,
I tried to order prints from iphoto and my order was cancelled 3 times. I sent an email to Apple & received the following response:
Thank you for contacting iPhoto Customer Support.
Unfortunately we were not able to complete your order because some of your photos did not meet the recommended sizes. Since we cannot modify content after an order is submitted, your order has been cancelled, and you have not been charged.
Apple recommends using iPhoto or another image-editing application to adjust your images to the proper aspect ratio before submitting them. These are the recommended minimum image sizes:
4 x 6 print = 640 x 480 pixels
5 x 7 print = 1024 x 768 pixels
8 x 10 print = 1024 x 1536 pixels
16 x 20 print = 1600 x 1200 pixels
20 x 30 print = 1600 x 1200 pixels
Wallet prints = 320 x 240 pixels
Images that are not constrained to the aspect ratio of the print size you are ordering are automatically cropped during processing.
I have a Canon powershot sd500. Do I really need to crop all my photos before ordering prints?
Chris

Do I really need to crop all my photos before ordering prints?
In a word, yes. The prints must be in the same ratio as the print ordered so that you will get on the print what you see on the monitor. You can't squeeze pixels that are in a one ratio into a different ratio and maintain distortion free images. You'd have to squeeze or stretch some pixels to fit the new size. That wouldn't look good. It's just the nature of the beast.

Problems with 'Order Prints' from Aperture 2.1.3 Mystery borders

*Some background:*
I've been using Aperture for about 3 months now, importing most of my iPhoto library into the program. I have only recently started shooting in RAW format, most of my photos image files are in JPG format. In the past, I've had no problems with obtaining prints from within iPhoto or to a limited extent Aperture. So, far as I know my program is up-to-date. I have 2 plugins installed: Aperture2twitter and *flickr export Lite* both of which work acceptably.
*The problem:* I ordered 317 4×6 prints from my aperture library.
Every photo has a 1/4″ border on both sides of the image, i.e. the printed image is only 4×5 1/2″. I have never ordered this quantity before, but I don’t believe that was the problem, it appears that the processing machine was misaligned and no one reviewed the prints prior to shipping.
I tried again, on 4 different images ... all JPG files with 3 out of 4 were OK, but one exhibited the "border" issue.
I haven't a clue what is going on here. Apple implied +(via email)+ that I would have to individually crop every photo to ensure proper aspect ratio. This makes no sense to me at all, as I have never had this kinda problem before.
Could the plugin(s) be interfering with the s/w? Is there a trick to having photos printed from within Aperture that was not present in iPhoto?
Any thoughts on what the problem is would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
-john

I believe that I've solved this problem, with the help of the folks at Apple who handle Aperture tech support using the Aperture support ID that came with the product.
So the short answer is: Aperture print services REALLY DO REQUIRE the image to be cropped (constrained as they say) prior to the data being sent to Apple Print services.
Here is the link that describes cropping http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1993?viewlocale=en_US
The process as described is cumbersome, but the support tech pointed out that in Aperture, crops are 'non-destrutive' and can be undone simply by removing the check mark on the Adjustments tab of the image you crop. *This means that you do not have to make a duplicate image for cropping.*
So, here is the process that I arrived at to ensure that my "order prints" job turned out:
1. create an album of all the photos you want to submit for printing.
2. for each image call up the Crop HUD by pressing 'c' on the keyboard.
3.select the aspect ratio that you want for your photo. Make sure that it does NOT SAY Master Aspect Ratio, or Main Display Aspect Ratio.
4. Crop the photo
on the adjustments tab you can see the X and Y data and Height / Width information which can be undone.
5. Submit your print request to Apple for all the cropped photos.
When the prints arrive, you can compare the prints with the submitted photos. They should all be good. You can then delete the album (since it really is not a physical thing) or keep it for reference.
It all seemed a bit arcane to me, as I never had to worry about this in iPhoto. It must be that iPhoto sends different data than Aperture. I have just received 200 + prints back from Apple Print Services with about 98% success rate. I just have to adjust my thinking and my process when dealing with Aperture.

Photo names while ordering prints

I have in the version name what size the image is cropped to but when you select the images and order prints you can not see names, captions, keywords or anything other than the thumbnail. The only other way I would think to do it is to order each image seperately but I don't want 12 seperate orders.
Any suggestions?

There are no real good solutions:
You could make yourself a screenshot of the 12 thumbnails with their filenames in the browser, to have a notepad with the sizes when you order the prints
or decide to add captions to the borders of your prints - if you add text to images with BorderFX you will be able to see this text on the thumbnails when you order your prints.
But none of these crude crutches are very appealing ...

I would like to order prints under I Photo, but it seems to let you only do one photo at a time through the store. I did make a folder of photos I want to purchse. How do I do a bulk purchase of photos?

I would like to order a bunch of prints under IPhoto, but when you go to share and it says order prints, it only allows me to order one at a time. I have created a folder of pics that I would like to purchase. How do I do a bulk purchase?

Very simple - select the photo(s) you want to print (sometimes it helps to make an album for them to collect them in one place), crop to the print size, select all and share ==> order prints - all of those photos will be in one order

Ordering Prints Online with Embedded Color Profiles

Problem: I have imported about 100 photos into iPhoto (7.1.1) that have embedded ProPhoto RGB profiles. When Ordering Prints (from Apple/Kodak) online, the prints delivered were horribly desaturated. After research, discovered that the ProPhoto RGB (which is really high-end professional color space, even bigger than Adobe RGB) is not compatible with sRGB printing services. Essentially, sRGB is a much smaller color space and color is lost in process. What's the best way to resolve this?

Ruzicka:
There's an AppleScript to embed the color profile of your choice in selected files. I've modified it to embed the sRGB profile it's available at Toad's Cellar. It's the Applescript version, not the automator version. The automator version adds some jpeg compression in it's process. The script method does not.
Or, you could use Photoshop and create an action to batch convert the files to the sRGB profile. I've used PS but not the batch process. GraphicConverter may be be able to convert them but I've not used it.

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 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.

Network error when ordering prints

I have been trying to order prints of over 1,000 of my photos and they appear to upload just fine and I am able to put in 1 4x6 on all photos. Then, it goes to a grey connecting line, which eventually turns blue. After awhile I get the network error message. I've tried several times over the last week to order the pictures and the same thing happens each time. Is there a limit to how many you can order at once? Do I need to split my order into two separate orders?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You very well may be getting timed out on the upload/order process. I'd try splitting the order in two and see if that will go thru unimpeded.
