Photo book printing

I am having problem in printing photo book, I get error message from Apple and they cancelled the order. They also mentioned to preview in PDF format.  While checking the photo book in pdf format some pages are having distorted image (like running color stripes). During beginning of this year I had printed 2 albums and it came out very well.  I recently updated to MAC OS X Lion.  I am having this problem only after this.  Is there anything to do with this.  Individually all the pictures are in good format.
Kindly help as the pictures are very important for me to print and have spent several hours working on the book.

I've got the same issue.
I worked several hours on my wedding book and I can't buy it

  • I had ordered a photo book print two years back. I want to reorder the same book again now. However, I have lost the album project in iphoto. Is there any way to see my print order history and reorder the same book for print ?

    No.  Apple only keeps the pdf file for a book for 30 days.  Without the library and book project you won't be able to reorder the same book.

  • Photo book printed with text "last import" on last page

    I had a photo book printed and when I received it on the last page of the book there was text, "last import"? 
    I did not write that text and can't explain where it came from.

    The above link did not work, the link took me to a page that read,
    We're sorry.
    We can't find the page you're looking for.
    Please return to the Apple Support homepage.
    But, you were very helpful because  when I went to my book I created in iPhoto, I clicked on the option key when I pressed the buy button and I was able to save the book as a pdf.  You were correct, "last import" was in a dialog box which is why it was in the book.
    This was the first book I ever created in iPhoto and I went to the Apple Store (a few times) to take one on one classes and worked on the book in the group training.  When I asked one of the Apple Store Group Training Instructors, she told me not to worry, that text won't print.  Lesson learned, I will save it as a pdf to proof it before buying the book.
    Thanks again for your help, very much appreciate you taking the time to help me figure it out.
    Have a good day.

  • Are Emojis in photo books printed?

    Hi,
    i plan to make a photo book in iPhoto for Mac and want to use Emojis. Has anyone tried this before and can say me if they are printed right?
    Florian

    It's very simple. Make a pdf preview of the book. Anything in that will be printed.

  • Sync photo book print project between two Macs?

    I have two Macs synced using iCloud Photo Library which works great.  I noticed that the Photo Books (and other print products) don't sync.  Is there a way to find that file in the Package Contents and copy it over to my other Mac?  Probably not the safest thing to do but I would love to be able to work on my photo book on multiple Macs.  If not I guess I could put my library on an external drive and use access the same library from both Macs.
    Thanks.

I think if I knew what files they are I could lump them together in one folder and copy that folder back and forth to each other via wireless. As long as path is the same on both mac. I'm just not sure and need someone that's maybe been there.

    Wireless connection is a bad idea as data rate transfer speed needed for video material is pretty fast. I'm sure that your macbook air hard drive is not designed to give a sustained data rate tranfer speed for a such usage.
    Partitionning is a bad idea too as your internal drive has to seek for data stored on 2 logical locations fitted on just one physical support. It seems many many actuator stop and go and less efficient data rate transfer speed.
    I maintain my suggestion, go for a dedicated external hard drive where you will put all media related to your project AND the project file itself. If FCE is correctly installed on both mac, your project will open flawlessly from one mac or other.

  • Photo book print quality: large vs. medium (both softcover)

    hello all,
    I just wanted to share my experience about the difference in print quality between the medium softcover and large (in my case, softcover) books from iPhoto, something I wondered about before I took the plunge and ordered them.
    I recently received copies of both, ordered a week apart, both using the 300 dpi hack, but unfortunately of diff't photos in each, so the comparison won't be too scientific.
    First impressions: the photos in the large softcover seemed to me better than the medium. You can detect some very fine dots with the naked eye, in the places where a color shades into white. Overall, not objectionable at all, especially at a reasonable viewing distance. Akin to a decent/average inkjet photo. Meanwhile, the medium format struck me as having a worse print resolution, like a photo in a newspaper or cheaply printed magazine. The halftone pattern seemed more noticeable.
    However, on closer inspection, side by side, I can see the halftone dots in each, and I wonder if they're actually printed at the same resolution. I think it was partly the bigger size of the average photo in the large book that convinced me it had a better resolution, and the smaller photos in a medium book can make the whole thing look bad. Also, I can definitely detect banding from the halftone pattern in the medium book that I don't notice in the large; but could this be due to the subject matter in the medium (blurred washes of muted color) more than a print resolution difference? Perhaps.
    My conclusion: while it could be that the print resolution on the large is slightly better, I suspect my perception of the quality difference is based more on photo size and subject matter (sharp focus w/patterns, texture, moderate detail rather than empty color looks best). Still, despite my suspicion that the print resolution is the same, I can't shake the sense the large looks a little better.
    Which is too bad in a way, as I think the medium has a lot going for it: it's cheaper than the large, and I actually much prefer to have a series of single, full-bleed images at 6x8 than two or three or more cluttered together on a bigger page for the same price. Plus I find the peek-a-boo cutout on the cover of the large book a bit cheesy.
    So if you're going to go medium, I would definitely stay away from those six-photos-a-page layouts, especially if you have people in your small photos: their features will be degraded enough they start to look a little funny/unrecognizable. Bigger is better.
    And if anyone has the same photo at the same size in two differently sized books to compare, that would settle things.
    Also, I had a number of grayscale scans that I converted to rgb before adding to iPhoto, and the b&w photos printed in the book look great. While I would describe them as 'cool', I don't detect a noticeable color cast, and the blacks are decent.
    Overall, as an amateur whose expectations were aimed a bit low, I'm pleased with both for the price, and will look to large for special occasions, medium for everyday photosets.

    You're confusing two similar though technically different things.
    You have the dpi (dot's per inch in the raster file) resolution of the images (assuming the image will not be reduced or enlarged) of 300 dpi - that is a static resolution and it one of two resolution settings that affect the quality of a printed image.
    I was told the books are printed cmyk with screening so the other resolution that you have no control over is the "LPI" or "Lines per Inch" of the printing process. The CMYK separations are each printed at a different angle to achieve the full color effect.
    The soft cover books appear to be printed at a lesser lpi than the hard cover books which would give the images a courser look to them.
    I have not compared the books under a loop so this is going on what I was told.

  • Korean text in photo book print (Aperture)

    Hi, I want to know if Korean language text will be printed on my photobook created by Aperture.
    To make this post helpful for others, is there any language not supported by Aperture/iPhoto?
    FYI, I'm ordering from the United States.
    Thank you.

You can customise each template by resizing and repositioning the photo and text boxes, and create borders of any width or colour on photo boxes. For text, you can use any font, size or style, and design multicolumn text boxes. And the books are available in various sizes, from an extra-large 33-by-25.4-cm format to small books that fit in your pocket.
    I take that to mean, you can use any font, that comes preinstalled by Apple.  Does your Korean font show, when you preview the page, as described here?

  • My photo book printed too dark

    Hi.  I ordered a book via iphoto and the pictures were WAY too dark.  Is there a contact person somewhere in iworld that I can call about adjusting the heavy ink?

    Apple guarantees satisfaction - see - http://www.apple.com/support/photoservices/returns/
    What color profile are the photos - sRGB is the best - many people have reported that using adobe RGB causes very dark prints
    In general less editing is best - and using iPhoto is better than PhotoShop or other editing programs  --  http://www.apple.com/support/photoservices/preparation_tips/

  • Photo book prints too dark

  • Photo book uploading problem

    I have created a photo book in Elements 7 and cannot get it to upload to Kodak.  My OS is Windows 7 and I am using Noton 360 security software.  I make it through the ordering of the photo book and the uploading seems to go to completion, approximately 20 minutes for the 568MB file, but then after a pause I get a pop up message saying  "There was a problem with your internet connection.  Please check that there is not a firewall blocking Photoshop Elements from accessing the internet and that you have an internet connection."  My ISP is Verizon FiOS, I've checked the connection speed and have experienced no other internet access problems.  I have my firewall set to allow PE7 to access the internet without restriction, and have also tried uploading with the firewall disabled with the same result.  I contacted Adobe support and even agreed to the $30 charge, but they said this wasn't a Photoshop problem.  Kodak says if they don't receive the upload it isn't their problem.  I would really like to get this photo book printed (daughter's college graduation).

    Thanks for the update, Bob.  While I appreciate your efforts to resolve the issue with Kodak, I still feel there is something on my end that is not right.  I just tried to order additional copies of a photobook we did a  couple of years ago (43 pages, 147mb).  The upload process took just 10  minutes but failed with the same error message.  This was a photobook we had successfully ordered from Kodak before, using PE6 running on an older computer with a slower internet connection.
    You mentioned internet bandwidth as a determining factor, using a faster connection as a possible solution. I have a Verizon FIOS 20/5 connection, periodically test my download/upload speeds, and that's pretty much what I get.  I had reasoned that since PE7 takes like 20 minutes to upload a 300MB file there must be something else going on.  Btw, there was one particular upload speed test I just tried that failed,"probably due to a hardware or software firewall blocking the FTP protocol the test uses".  I was also not able to run this test successfully with the Norton firewall temporarily disabled.  Does the PE7 photobook upload utility use an FTP protocol?

  • Iphoto 08 Photo Books...awesome

    Hi...since forums are often used for complaining...I wanted to share a very positive experience. I had an IPhoto Photo book printed by Apple Print Services. I sent the files Sunday and just got the book today delivered to the door. Quality : I'm really surprised. For the price, I was not expecting something like that. This book is awesome with a hard cover and the images quality is very great with an excellent accuracy with what I have on my screen.. Don't hesitate to try those services. This is the first time for me and it won't be the last one.
    Cheers !!
    Ben

    I completely agree with the above poster. Prior to ordering my book for the first time I was hesitant. I placed my order on July 21 and received my book on 25 (Toronto). I am very very satisfied with the crisp clarity of the images (the full page pictures look stunning). I think it's reasonably well priced as well. I strongly recommend having at least a few of these books to impress your friends and family. lol.
    Note: I am not (though I wish I were) paid to express my support. It is just darn good.
    Take care!

  • Aperture photo book vs iPhoto quality

    Hi, will photo books printed from Aperture give me better quality than photo books from iPhoto 6? This will help me decide if I should buy Aperture or not.
    Is it true that Aperture prints books at 300 dpi and iPHoto at 150 dpi?
    Any advantages to printing photo books in Aperture (what does Aperture photo books do that iPhoto doesn't)?
    Thanks,

    Recently I uploaded and had printed a hardbound book that had been designed within Aperture. Prior to this, I have used iPhoto to produce 10 such books starting back in 2002. I have always chosen the picture book format because it provided the largest images.
    This time I used Aperture because it allows large images with small captions and a good deal or freedom of length and placement.I particularly appreciated the good snap placement between the pictures and other captions. The ease of producing 2 page spreads was impressive. The book ran 84 pages and the quality of the resulting was very good–on a par with my other Apple photo books.
    On only one occasion have I had a problem with quality control of these books. In that case an a good high resolution image was pixelated. In that case, I was able to call Apple and speak to someone, who after hearing my description, asked me to send my copy back and issued a reprint order.
    My only bit of consternation with this order is that I found no such contact information enclosed with the book.
    Finally, I haven't seen any specific suggestions within this formum for third-party print houses that can produce good quality books. Just assertions that alternatives do exist. I would be willing to strip down the .pdf file of the book I have just created to some of the trickier images and see how these one of these print houses fare.

  • Where can I get a book printed from a Pages document?

    Ok, I know of dozens of service bureaus/labs happy to print photo books for people from a series of jpeg image files. Pages does not output jpeg files. I know of one that will do it from a PDF (Blurb, actually), but it must be a PDF/X-3 file, which Pages does not do, either. Where can I get a photo book printed from either a Pages document, or from a Pages-created PDF?
    I don't really want to layout my book in InDesign -- Pages is so much easier and faster.

    It isn't impossible to use Pages for book printing.
    Do search on the matter here in the forum
    Go to this site http://pagesfaq.blogspot.com/2006/12/how-does-pages-handle-pdf-x-files.html

  • Aussie created Iphoto book printed in the US?

    I live in Australia and have created my iphoto book on my computer here but would like to have my photo book printed in the US and shipped to my parents for Christmas.
    Is there anyway I can do this?
    Thanks.

    Greetings,
    The last time I saw a question on this topic it was a bit over 2 years ago so the answer may have changed but yes, Canadian book orders are printed in Canada.  As far as taxes, what you see in the order window is the total for the book in your region.
    To find out for sure before you order, contact Apple Store Customer service for Canada and indicate you want to ensure that the total dollar amount indicated in the order window is indeed what you will be charged (I would assume it is otherwise there would be lots of people yelling about it).
    Cheers.

  • How can i print just one page of photo book without printing the entire book

    how can i print just one page of photo book without printing the entire book

    Jim,
    Take heart.  We can help.
    First turn on page view so you can see how the content of your sheet fits on the page(s).  A Numbers document contains sheets (listed on the left) which in turn contain tables, charts, text, and graphics.  Select the sheet you want to print on the left, then enable page view by selecting the menu item:
    "View > Show Print View":
    Now you should see your content and how it fits on one, or more, pages.  If thie content is too big for one page use the controls and the bottom left of the window to expose the sheet controls:
    Here a table is too big to fit on one page:
    slide the "Content Scale" slider so the content fits:
