Photo album book quality, should I use Apple or 3rd party

I am putting together a coffee table wedding album with Aperture 3. I want the bindings to last. Will the books printed by Apple stand up to the ages and how is the print quality compared to 3rd party printers that are Aperture friendly. Price is a consideration.

If you are using Apple's books, use RGB, Apple might not understand CYMK. If you are getting your book printed somewhere else, you will need to talk to them.

Should I use Keychain or 3rd party S/W to store passwords securely?

What is best way to keep track of passwords? I now use an MS Word file that has a master password to open. I looked at PasswordBox app. I tried to figure out Keychain - a bit opaque. I want security.

I tried a few password managers, like LastPass and 1 Password, and found them cumbersome.
I like the iCloud keychain. It is free, straightforward to use, and works across all my mac hardware. (LastPass was free for the mac but required a subscription fee for iOS). I have not seen any credible information that it has any security problems, nor any reports of security breaches with it. Here is a reference with some facts: iCloud: iCloud security and privacy overview

All I can say is the books I've created as gifts to my children for their children were received with absolute joy and appreciation (each book chronicled in pictures the first year of each grandchild's life). Granted the sentimental factor had a lot to do with the recipient's enjoyment of the book but they were spetacular. The book with its glossy dust cover is a very impressinve way to present your photos.
As Larry has pointed out so many have posted here that they were very satisfried with their book and Apple is very good about correcting problems.
To make sure there are no errors in the book before you order preview the book as described in this Apple document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it. If the PDF file shows no errors, either in text typos (my biggest problem) or in missing photos, etc., the printed book will be error free.

Since I believe you can't create a Photo album (book) in Apperature, what is the best way to transfer my pictures from my Apperature Library to iPhoto without loosing any picture quality?

Why do you think that? You can create printed Books in Aperture with similar themes as in iPhoto, and with more options to create custom themes on your own.
See this page - http://www.apple.com/aperture/what-is.html - scroll down to see the example books.
But if you prefer the iPhoto themes and layout, you can open your Aperture library in iPhoto, if you have both the current version of iPhoto and Aperture. Simply use the command "File > Open Library in iPhoto" and you can create your book in iPhoto.
And switch back to Aperture by using the command "File > Open Library in Aperture".

HT1880 I edit in Photoshop, for Photo Books. Should I use CMYK or RBG? 8 bits or 16?

I edit in Photoshop for my IPhoto books. Should I use CMYK or RBG for best color? 8 bits, 16, or 32?

This may be preaching to the choir but here are some tips on using PS or PSE from within iPhoto as the external editor:
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note 1: screenshots are from PSE 10
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

Why should i use Apple 'Mail' if i use others like G-Mail?

Simply: Can or should i just remove 'A-Mail' so it's icon stops jumping & bothering me to sign up?
•THANK YOU, and gratitude to whoever can help me unerstan.
*I'm 67 and not up to speed on such things.
BACKGROUND, if necessary:
•For years I've used only the Mail service of my ISP, Dslextreme ('DSLX').
I've never used Apple 'Mail' , & never set it up to service mail from any of the mail services that i do use.
I never activated 'A-Mail' and i don't think there is mail in it. Nor have i deactivated 'A-Mail', and it's still on my screen in the 'Dock'.
•But from time to time, and inexplicably to me, the 'A-Mail' icon seems prompted to start 'jumping' and wanting me to use it somehow, like sign up for it. This was a minor annoyance so i just clicked to close it and so ignored it and moved on.
This seems to happen when a website i'm on wants me to e-mail them and on their page i seem only have a choice to use 'A-Mail', none other, so i am pre-cluded from communication.
•Just recently DSLextreme switched all us users over to G-Mail.   They turned over their mail operation to GMail and urged us to also getting a G-Account, which i have finally done.
•I know that A-Mail 'works with the most popular email systems' like G-Mail.
•"A-Mail" = Apple's 'MAIL'.   To avoid confusion caused by the generic word 'Mail', I'm going to call Apple's 'Mail' "A-Mail".
I've spent over an hour trying to make my problem clear to you.    I hope i have succeeded.

Apple mail is simply the default email application in OS X. It is not an email service/email address.
Using an email application, you can read all your email in the same place and store them on your local drive.
To answer your question, "Why should i use Apple 'Mail' if i use others like G-Mail?"
You use a mail application for the same reason you use the internet when you could simply drive to the store to buy things or go get a newspaper or go to the library or go to the movie theater, etc.
But from time to time, and inexplicably to me, the 'A-Mail' icon seems prompted to start 'jumping' and wanting me to use it somehow, like sign up for it. This was a minor annoyance so i just clicked to close it and so ignored it and moved on.
This seems to happen when a website i'm on wants me to e-mail them and on their page i seem only have a choice to use 'A-Mail', none other, so i am pre-cluded from communication
because the website is attempting to open your email application.
Sounds like you simply use a web browser to view all your email.
If you want to send an email from a web page, you need to copy an email address, open your email account in your web browser, create a new email and paste the address.

How to make a photo album book using iPad?

I bought an iPad so I could organize all my digital photos, create photo albums by trip or event and order hard copy books (similar to what u can do using iPhoto). Is the third part possible using iPad? Does software available through snapfish or my publisher work on the iPad? Will iPhoto be available in the future to iPad users? Any help in how I can achieve this goal appreciated! Thanks!

I have the exact same question. Many of my family members are elderly and would enjoy a printed photobook. My Ipad seems like the perfect place to create this sort of album and then have it printed. However, the only app I have found is the HP Photobook Lite app. The app is very limited, limited backgrounds, frames, shadows etc. Also, the only option for printing is magcloud which prints a soft copy magazine type photobook.
Have you found anything that will offer the ability to create a beautiful photobook quickly? I also saw an app called Bookfactory, however, it is Swiss so I think it will not be in English and I do not know if they will ship to the US or the cost. Here is a link http://itunes.apple.com/ch/app/bookfactory/id434614668?mt=8
Please keep me in the loop if you find something.

Raw Images in a Photo Album Book Project

If i import raw in my library and then put it in a photo album project does it save the image as a raw image?
If i buy the book will the raw images not show or what.

No - it uses the processed RAW - typically a JPEG
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.
if the preview is good order the book

How make a slideshow that mimics a photo album (book)

For the past year I've been using FCE to make simple slideshows and I want to attempt something a bit more difficult now (but not too hard <grin>).
I want to create a slideshow that mimics looking through a photo album. On each page of the "book" you would see some number of photos, then the page would turn. Does this seem like a good learning project?
I can visualize what I want, but there are some things I can't figure out how to accomplish.
1. How can I create a "book cover" and have it open. Book covers open stiffly, so a page peel effect isn't quite the right thing.
2. For the "pages", I want photos on a background that looks like paper. Then the background needs to turn - not just the individual photos. How could I make a background? Oh, and some of those "photos" will be video clips. Does that make any difference?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Pointers to applicable tutorials are especially welcome.
thanks in advance,
-Mike

Hi(Bonjour)!
Try this workflow:
In Photoshop, create a template document with a scanned paper texture on background. Start with a mid size document like 1066 X 800 (it fits 4:3 aspect ratio) pixels frame size. Add scaled down photos on layers to compose the presentation on the page itself. You can event add some black paper corners on each photo. Flatten the PSD document and save it as PICT or PNG. Repeat this process for each desired page of your slide show and create a cover for the album.
Import all these documents in FCE and edit your stills in timeline with correct duration. Add a simple page peel transition(with small curl value) or a horizontal barn door transition at each edit, and voilà.

APPLE LOOPS AS BASE FOR SONG - CAN I USE IT? - 3RD PARTY?

I have used an iLife Loop as the basis for the pre chorus and chorus of a song I have created. The rest is mine and I have written lyrics for the whole.
It seems to me that a third party wrote the jingle and could have a claim on this. Is this correct?
If so then how would I find out who that is and gain permission and or assign part of the copyright to them should income come from the song?
The Logic Pro and MainStage software license agreements state:
"Title and intellectual property rights in and to any content displayed by or accessed through the Apple Software to the respective content owner.
Such content may be protected by copyright or other intellectual property laws and treaties, and may be subject to terms of use of the third party providing such content.
Whilst the use of the Loop from Apple's point of view seems to be OK this clause, prior to that muddies the waters. Anybody have any insight on this please?
Thanks
Nic

The instructions depend on which Windows backup product you use. Apple doesn't make one.

Using Apple TV (3rd gen) as a remote speaker from original Apple TV (1st gen)

Just got my new Apple TV (3rd gen) - discovered I can't AirPlay to multiple speakers from it like my old Apple TV (1st gen). As a workaround, can I use the old Apple TV just for music, using the new Apple TV as one of its airplay speakers? Can't seem to. The 3rd gen Apple TV doesn't appear on the original apple TVs list of airplay speakers. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks, and thanks for your reply.
Yes, that does work - from iTunes I can see both apple TVs fine as options in the multiple airplay speakers - I was just really hoping to leave the main computer off and play my music from either the original apple tv's hdd or my iphone.
Prior to buying the new 3rd gen Apple TV I had been doing that for a while, using the original Apple TV to airplay music to speakers connected to its own optical out and via airplay to an express in the dining room.
It's odd that I can see both apple TVs and the express from the multiple speakers option from iTunes, but I can only see the express (and itself) from the original apple TV's multiple speakers menu. (Original Apple TV has been updated to latest software.) Maybe it's just too old to know about the new Apple TV.
Has anyone managed to get an original Apple TV to airplay to multiple speakers where one of those speakers is another Apple TV?

Album art download spotty at best, what best 3rd party tool works well?

I have hundreds of Gb of music and probably 40% of that - no cover art. Running this feature in iTunes does nothing - comes up telling me I have over 5,000 album art covers not able tgo be downloaded. Tried various other 3rd party tools, not that many work well.
Can anyone recommend one that works well? I'm not sure why this feature works so unreliably. I can find most of these albums on Amazon and can apply the art manually. It should use some kind of fuzzy logic to guestimate the darn title and bring it down I would think.
Thanks

Need help using Waves 64bit, 3rd party plug-ins with Premiere CS5

I'm trying to install and use a bundle of 64bit 3rd party audio plug-ins from Waves in Premiere.
I am on a Mac running OS 10.9.3.
I can't figure out how to get Premiere CS5 to recognize my 3rd party Waves 9.3 bundle.
The plug-ins are listed and fly by one by one on the loading splash screen while Premiere launches. I can't find them anywhere in Premiere once it launches. Aparently both the VST and AU units work. But how? Where/how do I load the plug ins so I can access them in the audio effects folder?
thanks in advance!
Alex

i think the audio plugin manager was something new added, but i dont remember when. as im looking thru older threads at cs5, they make it sound as if premiere will just load and use what it can. when an effect doesn't show up, its usually cause premiere determined it couldn't use it. if you have the 64-bit version of premiere and 64-bit audio plugins, they should work, unless premiere has some issue with them. i think waves uses vst3 and AU (audio units)? while vst2 should work in cs5, im not sure if vst3 or au are supported until cs7. so im at a loss, unless someone else knows better. if you have access to audition, you can try to load them in there to use.

VST Plugins work in CS4, not in CS5

Apple and 3rd party apps?

Hey,
Been seeing links to 3rd party apps. Know "anyone" who has loaded and used these? What does this do to the apple waranty?
