Photo Printing With iPhoto

iPhoto is a good program but it is practically useless for printing on small photo paper. I use "Film Factory OS X" which I think came with my Epson R300 printer.

Hi David,
I use Easy Photo-Print which came with my Canon Printer. I actually think the software that comes with the Printers are easier and pretty good because they were made for the Printer.

Problem to print with iPhoto and epson stylus photo RX620

I asked a question about the print with Iphoto. Larry gave some explainations but it still doesn't work. I can change the reglages with Safari, with Mail but not with Iphoto. So when I try to print photos, the reglage is standard and the result is bad. I would like to change the reglage, if i use glassy photo paper. With my PC, I have no problem to print with window or picassa. Thanks for your answer.

First I have no idea in the world what "reglage" is
But what ever printer specific options are available are supplied by the manafacturer's print driver and these are available on the last print window

Why order photo prints in iPhoto?

I love iPhoto, and i really enjoy making books using it as well. I want to start ordering just normal 4x6 prints to keep as archived photos. But my problem is the pricing. Is there any justification to ordering 4x6 prints using iPhoto over ordering them from Walgreens?
Sure it's .12 a print with iPhoto, and it's .20 a print with Walgreens, but Apple charges 3.99 for shipping, and then .25 for tax.
Can someone explain to me why I'd pay this much for prints? The only time I guess I'd save money is if I had an order with over 70 prints; that way the charge for shipping and tax would be made up by the cheaper prints.
Does anyone else see the problem here? Or does anyone on here actually order prints from iPhoto? What are your experiences like? Pros and Cons from just uploading to Walgreens and picking them up? Is there a big difference in print quality?
Just curious. I love Apple products and I love using them, but this option just seems like it's not worth it to anyone

Don't use it. It is just convenience.
If you are really printing pictures for archiving, you might get to 70 pictures in a hurry!
You could also create a "photos to print" album and wait until you get a hundred or so to print.
But really, Apple will not send you an email with a sad-faced kitten asking "bradhotdog, why didn't you order your prints from us? Now we has sad."

Help! Printing with iPhoto 4 x 6 on new HP Photosmart 8150

This is my 1st time attempting to print a 4 x 6 from iphoto ever....not as easy as I thought it would or should be. I selected the picture in iphoto I wanted to test print it on a the free 4 x 6 paper that came with the Photosmart 8150. The knob was set to borderless
It printed with like 1 1/2 margins on the 4 x 6 photo paper.... The photo printed and looks like a thumbnail or 2 x 3! I tried again and messed with the advanced settings same thing happened. I am responsible for teaching 30 teachers how to use this printer with iPhoto and currently am terrified...Help!

Ok I figured it out but I was amazed at all the extra steps I had to go through....
here is the link for the directions

I have Mavericks installed. Cannot print with IPhoto because there are no themes

I cannot print with IPhoto because it says that I do not have themes. How do I install themes? JL

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Books are no longer supported with iPhoto '08 (a roughly six yeal old product) - you can purchase an iLife '09 DVD from someplace like Amazon or eBay and install it - iPhoto '09 is still supported this year

Hello, is there a way for making a photo transparent with iPhoto are another software?

Hello, is there a way for making a photo transparent with iPhoto are another software?

Not with iPhoto, but different apps have different capabilities.
There are a couple of considerations: How is this transparent image to be used? In a Deskop Publishing environment something like Pages' Instant Alpha might be useful. Or if you're trying to overlay one image on another on a photograph then some editor that supports layers would be required.
Further, Jpegs as a format doesn't support transparency so you'll need to work ina file format that does.
But if you can explain what you're hoping to do we might be able to point you in a more useful direction.
In order of price here are some suggestions for editors:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

Are you trying to print from iPhoto on your Mac or iPad/iPhone? If you are trying to print form yor Mac, check, if the Print Products Store in the iPhoto Preferences > Advanced is set to U.K.
Also the bimmling address, Delivery address, the country for your AppleID and Credit Card must all be in the same country. Check this document:

Nope.
The closest Apple app for that is Cards.

How does Photos fit with iPhoto?

How does Photos fit with iPhoto?

iPhoto is no longer developed. At some point in the future (though not in the lifetime of Yosemite) an OS Update will come along that may disable it completely. How you choose to go forward is up to you. Some folks go all-in with the new app, some may hold back to see how it develops over time. But eventually, iPhoto will no longer work.

I have a Sony Cybershot camera. My problem is that I can't view my panoramic photos properly with iPhoto. Sony says to contact Mac support. Has anyone any info on this prob, please?

Panoramic photos. I have a Sony Cybershot camera. My problem is that I can't view my panoramic photos properly with iPhoto. Sony says to contact Mac support. Has anyone any info on this prob, please?

Not sure what you want - you shoot the photo by doing a sweep and the camera makes a static JPEG that is long (panaromic) and you import it - on the camera and in iPhoto is is a panaromic photo

Sync iPhone 4 Photo Library with iPhoto?

How do I sync my iPhone 4 Photo Library with iPhoto? I am able to sync the Camera Roll with iPhoto, but I cannot locate the Photo Library (899 pictures) when syncing from iPhone to iPhoto.
Thanks!

The photo sync is one way - computer to iphone.
You cannot sync the photo library form iphone to computer. Since the pics came from your computer in the first place, they should still be there and should be included with your regular backup of your computer. The iphone is not a storage device.
The pics are reduced in resolution when synced to iphone anyway.

Hi, I want to know if the quality of a photo book with iphoto is the same that with aperture,

the photos have the same quality, because I used aperture to retouch it, but for me is easy make a photo book with iphoto, I only imported the photos form aperture to iphoto, and I made the photo book, I want to buy it, but before I want to know which one have more quality or if the method of impression, aperture and iphoto, are the same.
so have both the same quality of impression?
And if the answer is no, Can I export my photo book form iphoto to aperture? how?
Thanks a lot

Quality is a personal opinion - I assume (but no one here really knows for sure) that the same vendor does both -
- here are technical details on both - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3412
in cany case you can not move a photo book from iPhoto to Aperature
And Apple does have a 100% satisfaction guarentee

Cannot Print to 5x7 Photo Paper with iPhoto

I just bought my first iMac and hooked it up to my Epson 730 Artison printer, which is designed to work with Apple products. Whenever I print a photo it always prints to the 8.5x11 inch paper instead of the photo paper, which is located above the 8.5x11 inch paper. This happens even when I select the 5x7 inch paper size and select glossy photo paper in iPhoto. In fact, it does not matter what combination of options I select from iPhoto in terms of the print options, it just prints it to 8.5x11 no matter what.
Is there some way to make iPhoto print to the size of paper that I choose with Epson products? There are two sizes of paper which can be loaded in the tray at the same time, in case you haven't seen one.
(Tearing hair out after an entire evening wasted trying to print one 5x7 glossy photo.)
Thank you very much.
David

I'm so embarrassed. The reason I was having trouble printing is because I did not install the latest print driver from Epson for Mountain Lion 10.8.1. I thought of this in the shower and tried it and now everything is fine.
I hope I didn't send anybody on a wild goose chase.

Scan photo prints to iPhoto

I have a lot of photo prints taken on old-fashioned film, before the days of digital.
I have an HP Photosmart 5520 scanner/printer which has an option for Photo Preset. The default 'Resolution' setting is 200ppi. There are other options for 75,100,300,600,1200 or 2400 ppi.
My first question is, which 'Resolution' setting should I choose ?
The scanned size at 200 ppi for one print is 2.74MB. When sent to iPhoto its size is reduced to 1MB.
Another apparent anomaly is that although the prints are all 6 inches x 4 inches, their 'info' in iPhoto can vary from anything between 1184 x 791 to 2292 x 1498, and in size from 322 KB to 985 KB.
The digital photos I already have in iPhoto, nevertheless, are all 3888 x 2592 ; but the sizes vary eg from 3.4 MB to 6.1 MB.
File > 'Get Info' for the scanned photos says they are JPEG images and 'color space' is RGB, which I understand is the requisite . . . Can the foregoing re scanned and digital photos be explained ?
Thanks in anticipation

My first question is, which 'Resolution' setting should I choose ?
Depends entirely what you're going to be doing with the Photos. Jpeg is a lossy format, so as you edit each time you save some data is lost. If they require intensive editing, then the more data the better. Are you going to print them? Depending on your devices and the quality you hope to achieve, then perhaps the old 300 dpi for printing is a reasonable rule-of-thumb. If you're uploading them to the internet, say flickr or whatever, then 100 is fine. So, it depends on your proposed usage.
The scanned size at 200 ppi for one print is 2.74MB. When sent to iPhoto its size is reduced to 1MB
iPhoto doesn't reduce the size of anything on import. Where are you seeing these sizes mentioned?
Another apparent anomaly is that although the prints are all 6 inches x 4 inches, their 'info' in iPhoto can vary from anything between 1184 x 791 to 2292 x 1498, and in size from 322 KB to 985 KB.
No anomaly here. Your computer has no "inches" everything is measured in pixels. So the fact that an image is 6x4 in the real world is of no relevance. What matters is the pixel dimensions you choose to digitise (or scan) it. You can create a scan of you 6 x 4 that will be 600 x 400 pixels. (@100dpi) Or you can as easily create one the will be 14,400 x 9,600 (@2,400 dpi)... In other words, don't expect a direct correlation between what you hold in your hand and what you make on the screen. They're different worlds...
But again, iPhoto doesn't change anything on import, so I'd be looking at the scanner for explanations of these variations.
As to the file size, remember not all pixels are the same. An image that is pure white or pure black will have a smaller file size than one of a richly coloured sunset, and will also depend onn the resolution you scan at - so again, no direct correlation, it's a complex equation.
