Photo Preview Pages

I am looking for a way to make spiral bound photo preview albums and thought Pages might be a suitable application.
A test run has shown it can be done manually without too much effort thanks to image placeholders and modifying templates. There is one snag and that is getting the photo caption/number to appear either within the image or below it. I cannot see a way that Pages can handle that.
Can anyone offer a solution either within or without of Pages.
Of course contact sheets are easy enough from Photoshop/Elements, but I need a much more attractive layout and a black or dark blue background. Text therefore needs to be white. Files will be made into wet processed photo prints so no danger of wasting gallons of ink or toner.
17 and 24 Intel iMacs   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   And an old white iBook still giving service

My photos reside mainly in iPhoto and some in Aperture.
When making a slideshow in iDVD I notice that images can be made to contain the caption. I was looking for a similar facility in Pages but do not think this is available.
I note your comment regarding manually typing but this is somewhat laborious with several hundred images per album. Any typos made would have a knock on effect that might harm customer relationships, so I would prefer automatic captioning.
Thanks anyway.

  • Time Machine on my iMac won't open iPhoto. It goes to desktop screen automatically. When I select User/Picture/Iphoto library it only brings up the preview page with the size of the folder. I can't get into the library to look for lost photos.

    Thank You. This helps me alot to get into the masters and to see events and photos in a utilitarian way, but it is not as easy as viewing the normal iphoto format to find photos.  Can I do something else or did I not do something right to not see normal iphoto in Time Machine ?

  • Why can I drag and drop from Photos to Pages, but not to Microsoft Word 2011

    I'm unable, under OS X 10.10.3, to drag and drop pictures from Photo into Word for Mac 2011.  I can paste from Photos into Pages.  How can I add Word to the list of programs that can take pasted photos pasted from Photos

    Drag and Drop support is done programmatically as part of the application design. There is no user settable configuration, or list of programs that you can add Word too. Apple has supported drag and drop in Pages for a long time, and from iPhoto or Aperture picture libraries. Microsoft chose another path.
    I don't have Office for Mac 2011, but I can state that Word 15.8.1 in Office for Mac 2015 Preview does not accept drag/drop of images from Photos either. It compensates by offering Insert ▸ Pictures ▸ Photo Browser… and when selected, displays an image panel not unlike Pages offers when clicking images from its Toolbar. At the top of this Word Preview panel is the Photos logo. It is from this Photos browser panel, that Word Preview accepts drag/drop of images. It may be that way in Word in Office for Mac 2011 too.

  • An Aperture 3 "Photo Preview" explanation appreciated.

    As I have plenty of free disk storage I would like to set “Photo Preview” to yield the best possible quality and size. (The resolution of my monitor is 1260 X 1440)
    I would appreciate an explanation of the choices of the Fit Within figures such as “Don’t limit”, “Fit within 2560 X 2560”, Fit within 1920 X 1920” etc.
    My aim is to show my photos onscreen to their best advantage as well as sometimes using them for emailing to friends or creating slide shows for emailing to friends.
    Are my current settings right for my purposes?
    Photo Preview                       “Don’t limit”
    Photo Preview Quality          10

    Hi Cliff.  Sounds like you got this figured out already  .
    The Preview file that Aperture creates and keeps is a JPG rendering of the Image.  In general it is a big thumbnail.   The Preview is used:
    - as a placeholder while the Original+Version is rendered (this is done "live" -- Aperture does not keep these files from session to session).
    - when in in Quick Preview mode (the Preview is used in place of the fully-rendered Image in order to speed processing when culling or working with metadata).
    - when you drag an Image from Aperture to another program.
    - when the Originals are off-line (e.g.: if you have put your Image's Originals on an external drive and that drive is not mounted).
    - in Slideshows (but if you create a Slideshow and the Previews don't exist, Aperture will create them).
    - and probably a few I forgot.
    The Preview can also be used as a some insurance against total loss:  if you lose your Image's Originals but still have the full Library, the Library will have the Previews.
    You should set your Preview size (and existence) based on your needs.  I keep Previews of every Image, at the resolution of my monitor, at compression level 10.  If you truly want "best quality" and maximum size, you should set yours to "Don't limit" and "12".  The difference between 12 and 10 is going to be a lot of bytes, and probably no perceptible change in quality.  The size you select is straight-forward, with a direct relationship between size and storage requirements.
    Note that you can delete and re-render Previews at any time.  I have found it much easier to "set it and forget it" -- but I am willing to provide the storage space needed and prefer the performance of a Library with a full set of Previews.
    I suspect you've see it, but the User Manual page on Previews is here.

  • Printing multiple photos per page ?

    in Canon easi print you can select many photos and/ or many copies of the photo and select how many per page. for example : 2 x photo A, 3 x B, C, D & E ; 8 photos total on 2 x A4 sheets. or you could select 8 on 1 page, or 2 on 4 pages...
    Does Mac have same functionality...I can't find it in i photo....
    canon easi print does not have i mac version.....sadly
    is there any other software available which has similar ease of use ?

    You can print multiple photos of te same size on a page easily
    select the photos and print, select the printer, paper size and print size (do to math to be sure they fit) and if the previews does not show multiple photos then click customize and colcik on settings - select multiple photos per page and teh preview will reflect youur choice - click print and make any printer specific selections and pting

  • IPhoto 7.1.3 and printing multiple photos per page

    I cannot get multiple prints to layout (or print) properly. IOW, I cannot get the product to render multiple photos to a single sheet layout.
    - selected multiple photos (say 5)
    - Hit Print icon (or select Print from File menu)
    - Paper Size: choose 8.5x11
    - Print Size: choose 3x5
    - Hit 'Customize' button
    - It is showing 1 photo per page (5 pages)
    - Select 'Settings'
    - Select 'Multiple photos per page'
    - Hit 'OK'
    - No change - still a single photo per page
    - Print preview shows same - 5 pages each with only a single print.
    - Same occurs if I originally select 2,3,4.... prints.
    Perhaps noteworthy: I am using a printer (only available printer) that is attached to another iMac on my wireless network.
    Any help appreciated. About 30 minutes searching this discussion board hasn't been fruitful.

    Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
    - selected multiple photos (say 5)
    - Hit Print icon (or select Print from File menu)
    - Paper Size: choose 8.5x11
    - Print Size: choose 3x5
    When I do these steps my preview shows 4 photo on the page (the maximum number of 3 x 5 you can fit on an 9.5 x 11 sheet) without going to the customize menu - and it works on three different printers
    Try deleting your iPhoto preferences (finder ==> "your username" ==>preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist), launch iPhoto, reset any preferences you have set and see if it will work
    It should be very easy and straight forward with only the first four steps being needed for this

  • Need guidance printing 4 photos - 1 page

    Hi All,
    I am asking this on behalf of my wife, using iPhoto 6 on her 17" iMac. I have never attempted this, but then I have iPhoto 5 on my Mac.
    How do I print 4 photos on one 8X10?? I have brought four photos together in the iPhoto window, but I can't get Print to do more than one on the page. From reading other posts here, I found out about the Print Dialogue and the need to change a drop down, but I'll be damned if I can find that. Any body care to help with this? Thank you.
    iMac G5 20" 1.8 GHz - 400GB HD - 2GB RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   300 GB & 160GB Ext drives, QT 7.1.5 Pro, Panasonic GS-500 3CCD miniDV cam

    Hello, Forest,
    I have a Canon iP6700 printer. This is how I do it:
    In Page Setup, select the paper size as A4.
    Then, in iPhoto, choose the four photos and hit 'print.'
    The 'Print' options are:
    Printer
    Presets
    Paper
    Style
    So, I select my Printer, my Preset is 'photo on photo paper',
    Paper I choose again A4 and
    Style, I use N-Up.
    Then, below those choices, a dropdown appears to select how many photos per page.
    I set it to 4, and I can see in the small preview on the left, that all four photos will be on the one page.
    See if you can set yours up something like mine.....it works!

  • Previewing Pages document in Preview shows page numbers incorrectly

    Previewing Pages (5.2) document in Preview (7.0) shows page numbers incorrectly. Regardless of starting page number preview shows as Page 1.
    Suggestions appreciated...

    That appears to be YABIP5 (Yet Another Bug In Pages 5].
    Pages .09 documents are fine.
    No prizes however for finding bugs in Pages 5/5.2 it's swarming with them.

  • On the Comcast email site, on the "Inbox Preview" page, if I click on "View Entire Inbox" or on a particular message, Firefox will just return me to the Inbox P

    On the Comcast mail site, I cannot get past the "Inbox Preview" page. If I hit anything, including "View Entire Inbox" or on a particular message, or anything else, I'll just be returned to the "Inbox Preview" page. This only happens on Firefox. When it started happening, I finally gave up and tried Internet Explorer, which works fine. I'd prefer to access email on Firefox, so please tell me how to correct this.
    I don't know if this is related, but immediately before this started happening, I may have hit something on my laptop, which caused the Comcast email screen to magnify to the point where I could not view the message window on messages. I couldn't figure out how reverse this, so I did the above (went to IE, which was fine). When I next attempted to access Comcast email from Firefoxe, the site was no longer magnified, but I had the above problem with being unable to get past the Inbox Preview page.

    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

  • How do I access the iTunes Preview page with a web browser?

    Does anyone out there know how to access the iTunes app preview page with a web browser?  So far the only way I've been able to get there is by Googling the app with the term 'iTunes preview'.  Is that really the only way?  The iTunes page itself has no obvious link to the app list.
    Thanks.

    Thanks, but I should have been more specific.  I was trying to access the iTunes app preview page on my PC through Chrome.  While I have an iPad, it's not convenient to have to refer to it every time I want to discuss an iOS app.

  • I can no longer open my Comcast email when I launch from Firefox - it takes me to the email preview page but will not allow me to open the inbox . Does not happen with Internet Explorer.

    This started last month - when I go to my comcast account, I'm able to log on and view my account but can not open my email inbox. When I enter my user name and password, I'm taken to the "Email Preview" page so that I can see a partial view of the inbox but when I click on "View Entire Inbox" it jumps to a page showing that it's loading but goes right back to the preview page - I can't open any of the emails. This does not happen when I use Internet Explorer or Firefox on my older laptop.

    Did you find out what addon?

  • JasperReports - how to save as PDF from Print Preview page?

    Hi all!
    How can I save reports created with JasperReperts (with iReport tool) as PDF?
    On print preview, when I select it is as PDF, and click on "save", nothing is saved. Also, I get NoClassDefFoundError despite I included all nessesry classes (did I?). Here are list of included classes
    jasperreports-1.2.7.jar;
    jasperreports-1.2.7-javaflow.jar;
    commons-beanutils-1.5.jar;
    commons-collections-2.1.jar;
    commons-logging-1.0.2.jar;
    commons-digester-1.7.jar;Here is my code:
    void printWithPreview() {
        try {
          JasperPrint print = JasperFillManager.fillReport(report, reportParam, conn);
          JasperViewer.viewReport(print, false);
          //byte[] pdfasbytes = JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdf(print); // can I use it somehow?
          JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdf(print);
        } catch (JRException e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
      }Can you help me with this?
    Also, I need to know, how to limit options "save as" only to PFD (on same Print Preview page)?
    Thank you in advance!

    Right!
    I was missing iText.jar.
    So, you need only this code to get report preview and feature to export to pdf, html and other formats:
    void printWithPreview() {
        try {
          JasperPrint print = JasperFillManager.fillReport(report, reportParam, conn);
          JasperViewer.viewReport(print, false);
          JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdf(print);
        } catch (JRException e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
      }You do not need to save it specificly to c: or other "hard coded" directory.
    Thanx 1000 times!!!

  • "Preview Page in Browser" stopped working...

    Hi guys,
    First off, looking forward to seeing what's unveiled at Create Now Live on December, 11th!
    Anyway, here's the Muse bug that just cropped up yesterday as I was working on a niche one-pager site: when I tried "Preview Page in Browser," nothing happened.
    Usually when I'm working in Muse, I already have Firefox open on my screen, and when I hit "Preview Page in Browser," it'll open a new tab with the preview. This time, nada, no new tab, no preview.
    Have no idea if my system settings or anything else has changed since the last time I designed a mini-site in Muse, a few weeks ago, when "Preview in Browser" was working fine. I'm on an (aging) PC laptop, running Windows XP.
    Any ideas what's going on? Thanks again!

    Hello,
    Could you please check if the issue is specific to one website on your computer.
    You can try creating a new test website and check if you are able to preview it in a browser or not.
    If it does not work, please try deleting the AdobeMuse folder from the location :
    Windows 7: C:\Users\your_user_name\AppData\Roaming\
    Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\your_user_name\Application Data
    Mac: /Users/your_user_name/Library/Preferences/
    After that please relaunch Adobe Muse and check if you get the preview in Browser feature to work or not.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Sachin

  • Can see only one photo per page. How to revert to multiple images per page?

    First noticed on my iMac and now on my Macbook (10.4.9)--I'm no longer seeing a month's worth of photos on a single page. Only one photo per page, sometimes with miniature ones in the top border. I thought it was simply an inadvertent click on by part and easily corrected. But all attempts on both computers and reading of Help index haven't led to restoration of an entire page of photos and elimination of the annoyance. I'm wondering now if something I downloaded might have altered iPhoto program itself, making it impossible to view large numbers of photos at the same time. Any suggestions appreciated.
    Cap

    Cap,
    This view, with the one photo big and the thumbnail strip across the top, is what happens when you double-click a photo with "Edit in: Main Window" set in the Preferences. There should be a button visible that says either Done or Return, to exit edit mode and return you to the library. If you still see only one photo, use the size slider in the lower right corner to reduce the photo size and get more thumbnails on the page.
    If, for some reason, you can't exit the edit mode, you may have a corrupt preference file. Quit iPhoto. Use the Finder to navigate to Macintosh HD/ Users/ (your user name)/ Library/ Preferences/ com.apple.iPhoto.plist and move that file to the Trash. Launch iPhoto, and you should be returned to the main viewing mode. You'll have to go in the Preferences and reset them to your liking.
    Regards.
