Photo boxes and guides

I am creating my own layouts. (I'm inserting all the photo and text boxes.) I know how to set the photo box aspect and ratio as well as alignment. I know how to use the shift key to resize and maintain the ratios. I also have been using the guides to align photo and text boxes to each other and to the edges of the page. The guides are extremely helpful.
What I don't know how to do is resize a photo box and use the guides at the same time. I can move a photo box and it'll "click" to guides, but when I am resizing the box I can easily go beyond where the guides would be. In other words, I can align two sides of the photo box, but then not the third. I hope this makes sense.

I just created background images in photoshop to use as my grid/guide. A lot easier of a reference tool, just don't forget to delete them before sending it to print!

Add drop shadow curled page like default photo boxes in books.

When I pick a theme in Books in Aperture, I see the photo boxes have rotation and a shawdowed, buttom edge curled effect to the photo plaeholder boxes. I figured out how to add photo boxes and even size and rotate them, but cannot see how to add the shawdow/curled effects to the placeholder. Nor can I 'edit' existing placeholders to change there size or rotation. Seems it should be easy... but not. Also, how to add a custom page background color other than the very limited selection allowed/offered?
Thanks!

LewisO,
if one could adjust the size and rotation of these theme supplied containers. That too, I have not been able to figure out how to do.
which theme are you using? Each theme is behaving differently and some are very restrictive. For example, the "Formal" theme does not allow to rotate the photo boxes or to change the aspect ration.
The "angle" slider in the layout options and part of the size options will be dimmed for hese themes.

Aperture photo frame vs aperture photo box

Hi,
Why I can change an photo box and not a photo frame, is photo frame different in printing from photo box?

Hi Susan. I'm an experienced Photoshop user, but I'm using Aperture 2.0 for more and more of my post-processing of images that do not require masking. My workflow using Aperture for whole-image adjustments is faster and, with 65,000+ photos, the savings in hard drive space vs Photoshop will be huge.
I'm learning Aperture bass ackwards, in the sense that I've been drawn into its image processing abilities before learning how to use it for managing my collection.
Be aware that Aperture really hammers your hardware, especially the video card. Download the trial version to see if it will work well with your computer system.

How do I change the color of a Photo Box?

I'm new to Aperture, but I'm impressed with the customization abilities of the Photo Book compared to iPhoto. I want to be able to do a couple things: change the color of the Photo Box, and possibly change the Photo Box style (one book layout in particular makes the Photo Boxes look like a photo on the page, complete with shadow).
Can anyone help with one, or both issues?

Some quick help would be really appreciated...
Who knows how to change the color of the Photo Box?
Anyone here know how to bring a different style (i.e., the Snapshots style) to a different themed book?

I have always been able to zoom in on my photo by holding the cmd and space bar, that changed and now it creates a box and zooms in on that area and I can't zoom out using cmd space bar. How do I change it back to the original way of zooming?

Select the Zoom Tool in the tool box and see if Scrubby Zoom is unchecked or greyed out in the tool options bar.
(you want Scrubby Zoom checked)

Many times I drop a photo into a book page box and it resizes it. I want to scale it smaller but it only allows me to make it bigger. Why can't I slide to make it smaller?

Control (right) - click on the photo in the frame and select Fit to Frame Size in the contextual menu.
Here's an extreme example of that:

I am doing a book. Can I select the option of 13 photos on a page, put only one photo on the page in the middle box and expect the page to be printed with only that picture surrounded by white?

No
All photos frames must contain photos or you can not order the book

When working in my photo album in iphoto my photos are replaced with a grey box and an !. I can't see the image on the page.

Lately when I am working in my photo album in iPhoto my images are replaced with a grey box and an ! . I can't see the images on the page. All my photos are high quality. What am I doing wrong?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

If you didn't import them to Photos or copy them to the hard drive there will be no way to recover them.
How did you view them?

I'm trying to order some photo albums from iphoto for chistmas gifts and there is a notification that keeps popping up telling me I need to send to a p.o. box, the mailing address IS a po box and it still won't let me order. What do I do?

I've not seen this message but would think that it might say that you can not send to a PO Box - exactly what is the error message?

When I try to send multiple photo from my photo albums and hit share, the email box doesn't show up. Whats going on?

When I try to send multiple photo from my photo albums and hit share, the email box option doesn't show up. The only options are facebook, message, It was there last evening and I used it. Whats going on?

There is a limit on the number of photos that you can send in one email from the photos app, but I thought it was five. In any event, you know that you can send mutiple photos from the mail app itself and you can send more than 5.
When you are typing an email - Tap and hold down in the body of the message area and select "Insert Photo or Video" from the black pop up options bar. Select the photos that you want to include from the photos app window that appears. Then hit return on the keyboard and start the process all over again.
You can insert photos, type text, enter more photos .... any way that you would like to do it.

My Iphoto are hidden behind gray boxes and the library startes backing up the entire photo s everytime i shut down.

If ssls6 solution is not working for you, try this
I just did it on my iMac and it works.
Here are the steps it took:
1- Log into your old account
2- Go to Macintosh HD, Users, "your old account user name", Pictures
In the pictures folder, you will see a file called iPhoto library.
3-Right click on it and select "show package content" from the menu.
4-In the window that will open, find the folder called "Originals" (these are your original photos)
5- right click on it and select "Copy Originals"
6-Close that window
7- Go to Macintosh HD, Users, "your old account user name", and open the Public folder.
8- in the window of that folder, right click and select "paste item"
This will copy the Originals folder in the public folder.
9- Right click on the Originals folder that was just copied and select "get info"
10- In the information window that will open, click on Sharing and Permissions and on the + sign at the bottom.
11- Click on your new user account in the list of choices and click select.
12-Still in the information window, in sharing and permissions, click on your new account and under the privilege menu, select "Read and write", then close the information window.
13- Log out of your old user accont and into your new user account.
14- Launch iPhoto, click on the file menu and on "import to library"
15- In the window that opened, navigate to Macintosh HD, Users, "your old account user name", Public folder, click on the Originals folder and then click import.
This will import all the photos from your old account into your now iPhoto library.
It's many steps, but it works and you will get back all your photos.

Phonebooth is in your home folder under pictures with Iphoto and Ichat. Deleting pigtures from phonebooth should not remove any from Iphoto library. Something else had to happen.
