Photo Book Software Query

Hi there. Does Adobe have a web-based photo-book software product available ? Software that is web-based and can be uniquely skinned, and used by the public to create their photobooks ?

Unable to open dowloaded photo book software

I have downloaded the software for a photobook which i bought but cannot open it. It has downloaded ok but asks me what application i want to use to open it. What do i use? Any suggestion appreciated.

Sounds like it may be a windows only file. Could you give us the name of the program you downloaded?

THE MOST I NEED! PHOTO BOOK AND DVD

as wedding phootographer the most i need
1. creating photo books. software like this : http://www.yervant.com.au/
that i can set the page size and drag and drop photos to photo book template. that i can resize, crop, move, write text on photo book page. then export photo book pages to pdf or jpg to send them to printer or local book printers
2. slideshow export to DVD !!! like http://www.photodex.com/products/producer
that i can create slideshow with DVD menu and export it to iso or burn to DVD. that people can see all pictures in DVD player on TV

I also asked for something like that related to the print module, though in different terms but leading to the same end, a more powerful, more customizable, print module.
And, by the way... this module, without soft proofing (and editing in soft proofing mode) is almost pointless.

I've made a photo book, but ordering this iPhoto crashes and I have to reopen the program; done this several times and each time uploading the 3rd page (of 86) it crashes again. My software is up to date (9.2.1), so that is not the problem.

Try boot into Safe Mode and try again.

Software shut down in middle of purchasing photo book. Will it continue to purchase?

I was in midddle of up-loading my photo to purchase a photo book, but software failed and enforsed to shut down.
Do I need to re-purchase, or assume it will continue my order. Unfortunately, i can't see if my uploading has completed for purchase or not.

You receive a confirming email and in your account in the Apple Store (store.apple.com) you can see the status of yoru order - so looking there and in your email will tell you if the order is being processes

How can I publish a photo book using an iPad

Can someone walk me through publishing a hard back photo book using an iPad .I have iPhoto app installed

I don't believe you can create and publish a book directly from the iPhoto for iOS app. You can create a journal which can be published to iCloud, but that's the only sharing feature I can find. There may be third-party software that can do this; the HP Photobook App has been mentioned, but I know nothing about it. Otherwise, if you want to create a book, I think you'll have to transfer your photos to a computer and use software there (iPhoto for Mac OS X, if you have a Mac).
Regards.

Is there any way to restore a photo book in Iphoto 09?

We accidentally deleted a photo book that my wife spent hours on an we need to get it restored. I unfortunately have not set up Time Capsule. I would imagine that the book is stored somewhere on my Imac. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

the only way to restore a bok is to restore the iPhoto library from a backup - if you do not have one tehn you can not restore one(there is nothing to restore from)
And note that is you do not have good backups you will lose all of your photos and other files sooner or later - people, computers and software fail and a backup is the only protection agains these failures

Photo Books - Crop and Color Issues from Kodak Gallery

I've been spending a good amount of time creating photo books and ordering them from Kodak using the built-in online ordering feature.
I've noticed several items that I was curious if others have any experience perspective on.
1. Cropping. For a flexible full bleed photo book, the page as it is represented in PSE3 is substantially cropped when Kodak processes the book. The difference between the two is almost 1/2 on either side and 1/4 inch on on the top a bottom. (These are approximate numbers) Have others seen this? It would be nice to have a border in the software showing where the page will be cropped since the Kodak service and PSE3 are so tightly integrated.
2. The colors come seem to come off a bit dark as compared to prints I have ordered and the images are all very slightly pixelated as compared to prints. Nothing awful, but not what you would want for your best photos.
I am hoping to learn if others have seen these issues and learned to live with them or are the other photo book providers that could turn a pdf into a higher quality book?
Thank you for your assistance.

I haven't used the Kodak Gallery for photo books. I have been tempted a time or two, but so far I have ordered my books through Mypublisher.com. The product is about the same. And I saw one of their books last Christmas and was impressed with it. In reading through the instructions from Mypublisher, they warn that there will be some cropping on full-bleed images and advise to be sure to allow for that. I have not run into the color or brightness difference that you mentioned. There are those who will disagree with me, but I read an article awhile back that indicated that most of the online photo processors as well as many of the one-hour minilabs standardize their equipment to the sRGB color space. So that is what I have used when preparing my books, and I have been very pleased with the results.
As far as your pages are concerned, you might try what I did in my last project. The pictures didn't fit any of the templates provided by the publisher, so I created my own pages in Photoshop. I positioned the pictures where I wanted them and added my own text. Then I just created my book using those pages. It turned out very nicely. I have distributed 75 copies of the album so far and everyone has really liked it.
Mypublisher.com provides software that you download and create your album on your computer. Then when you are ready to order there is a menu item that connects you to the Web site. The only problem is, this is a Windows service only. There is no support for the Mac.

Extra-large photo book available for iPhoto 08?

Can anyone tell me if I can create an extra large size photo book with iPhoto '08? I see online that extra-large (Size: 13x10 inches) is available, however in my iPhoto this option is not there (only large Size: 11x8.5 inches). Do I have to upgrade to iPhoto '09 in order to get that?
Thank you.
Irina

If I'm understanding this correctly, is there a work around, i.e. perhaps just purchasing the iPhoto upgrade to 09?
The only way to upgrade iPhoto is to purchase the iLife suite. There is no way to purchase an update to iPhoto alone.
It is surely contraindicative to me to not allow iPhoto 08 users to order a book that costs $50 instead of one that costs $30 without first spending $80 to upgrade!
Contraindicitative or not, adding the feature of the extra-large book means extra coding of the app, extra product testing and all the hoohaa that goes with releasing an update, and all of these are a cost. Extra features are an incentive to upgrade. Adding them to legancy versions lessens that incentive. I know of no software developer that adds features to an app after a newer version has come out.
it does not make economic sense for me to spent $80 just to be able to purchase something larger in size.
A calculation only you can make for yourself.

Problem with photo book created in Aperture 3

Hi everyone,
I am in a bit of a bind and would greatly appreciate any help ASAP!
I ordered a hard-cover photo book that was created in Aperture 3. When previewing the order, we noticed that the photo for the cover of the book was missing (though it appeared on the dust jacket). Tried various things to fix this but then read something in the forums that the photo would not be printed on hard-cover books, only on the dust jacket. So we went ahead and placed our order...
Today (3 business days after the order was made) we received an email from Apple:
"Dear Apple customer,
When your order W313537357 was submitted to Apple, an error caused an image file for your print product to contain an empty frame on the cover. As a result, Apple is unable to process your order and you will not be charged.
If you would like to resubmit your order, we recommend these steps:
1. Use Software Update to install the latest version of Aperture or iPhoto and Mac OS X. For more details on using Software Update, refer to: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1338
2. Close all open applications
3. Open iPhoto or Aperture and preview your order. For instructions on how to preview your order, refer to: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040
4. If you are satisfied with the Preview, return to iPhoto and click “Buy.” For Aperture users, return and click “Continue”
We appreciate your business and apologize for any inconvenience."
We have tried all of this, and the preview remains the same (no photo on the cover). Also, when clicking the "Buy Book" button we get an error message that says "Empty text field detected in book. The book you are about to order contains an empty text field. How do you wish to proceed?" This gives the option to either cancel or continue, and since I have not been able to find it I always just hit continue.
I have tried contacting apple support but I guess their technical support for Aperture is only available during regular business hours.
Help?! We need this book printed and sent to us by the end of next week. We would pay extra for rush/expedited shipping, but this option doesn't seem to be available (at least in Canada).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The unified library does not work for books and other products. Aperture and iPhoto cannot open each others books, because the editing options are different.
See: Using the Unified Photo Library http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5043
Print projects
Books, calendars, and cards created in iPhoto are visible in the Source list in Aperture, but you cannot edit them. Books, web pages, and web journals created in Aperture are not visible in iPhoto.
Recreate the book in iPhoto, or send your friends a PDF of the book. To create a pfd see: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture

Print photo book with billing and shipping addresses in different countries

I live in the U.S. and would like to create photo books for family living in Europe. Rather than sending the book myself to Europe after having it first printed in the U.S. and shipped to me in the U.S., I would like to simply submit the book to the Apple print service in the country it is destined to anyway.
Unfortunately, the Apple print service bases the country in which the order is fulfilled solely on the billing address of the credit card used, i.e. U.S. in my case. In addition, one can not choose a shipping country other than the country of the billing address.
Has anyone else found a way around this limitation?

I can't offer a way around, but at least for me in Europe it doesn't seem to be a problem: I have had Aperture books sent to England whilst the bill comes to me in Switzerland. I think I read once that quite a lot of Apple's European printing is done in Holland, maybe that makes a difference.
More generally I do find Apple's way of dealing with international customers a bit irritating - I can only order software through the Swiss Apple-store in French or German...

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?

Hi DG.
The easiest way to copy an HP Photo Creations project to another computer is to click the Share button. That will upload the project to the Web and give you a link you can paste into an email. Clicking the link on the other computer allows you to download the project and personalize it. This quick video shows the process. (The screen looks slightly different now, but the concept is the same.)
Another way to share a project is copy the project folder to a thumb drive. Look in Documents/HP Photo Creations/My Things to find your saved projects.
Our customer support team would be happy to walk you through the process. Contact them at [email protected]
Hope this helps,

Compare quality and features between aperture3 and iPhoto 11 photo books

Are photo books created in either aperture3 or iPhoto 11 the same or does one software program produce a better end result?

I only discovered my problem AFTER I had uploaded my book for printing. i went back and tried to create a PDF to save and discovered my problem. It had looked fine on the screen and I never received any sort of error message during the upload. I contacted Apple and they looked at what had been uploaded and saw that it was corrupted like my PDF so they canceled the order. I then went thru the process of rebooting in safe mode and tried a preview before uploading the second time. I called Apple again and they said the uploaded file appeared to be fine this time -- I have not received the book yet, but I am hoping it looks alright after printing. I experimented last night with making a duplicate of the original book project, then changed the template on the duplicate to Large instead of XL (everything else was the same as far as template style and color), then I ran a preview of that duplicate -- there were no corrupted files in the preview. It appears to me that the problem is not with corrupted photo files in my library but has to do with the size selection -- no XL books. When converting from Large to XL, the photos and their pkacement were exactly as the original but the size and location of all the Text alterations I had made to the original had been changed in the duplicate and would require editing again. This was the only difference in the two. Until Apple resolves this issue with another update, I suggest you either create only Large books and avoid XL -OR- boot in "safe mode" to send the XL book to print. I hope Apple corrects this issue soon because the XL books really are beautiful and it seems ridiculous to have to reboot everytime you want to purchase a book. Hope this helps.

Buy a photo book made with iPhoto 08?

I've made a photo book on an iMac running 10.8.5 with iPhoto 08 (7.1.5). When I pressed "buy", it said it was not possible with this version. I can't upgrade the machine or software (it's not my machine). Is there a work-around? Is there a way of exporting the finished project so that I can import it and buy it on a more up-to-date machine? Thanks.

You can purchase your book from other sources - google is your friend - one source to look at is PrestoPrint
You can upgrade to iPhoto '11 by purchasing an iLife '11 DVD from Amazon or eBay and installing iPhoto '11 and upgrading to the latest version or system supports
You can make a copy of your entire iPhoto library (there is no way to export a book except as a DF which can not be used to order from Apple and can not be edited) and open it on a Mac with iphoto '-9 or '11 and order -
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. - check the preview carefully as i is possible that some things change when you change versions
