Photo-wrapped cover and matching dust jacket

Photo-wrapped to me means the photo on the front of the cover wraps around to the back cover. If you remove the dust cover and lay it out, the photo is like a panorama, from front to back.
Is that the way it works, and if so, how do you lay it out in iPhoto? Or do you need Aperture? It says you need iphoto 09, and I have that, but cannot figure out how to do the photo-wrap cover.

a photo wrapped cover is only available for iPhoto '09 - it has a full color dust cover and a laminated full color book cover - see specs here - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3412 -- see samples layouts here - http://www.lizcastro.com/iphotobookthemes/
Aperture and iPhoto '08 have full color dust covers (like iPhoto '09) a foil stamped linen book cover - see sample layouts here - http://www.lizcastro.com/iphotobookthemes/pmwiki.php?n=Main.IPhoto08
Aperture 2 and iPhoto '08 use the same exact specs - iPhoto '09 has the linen cover replaced with a full color laminated cover
See the iPhoto book tutorial here - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/#books
And you can do a sample book and preview it with these instructions - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - to see the final result - and you should do so before ordering and save the resulting PDF for reference

  • Spread on Large Hardcover Dust Jacket, what appears on the spine?

    I'm designing a large hardcover book and I've created an outer spread across the dust jacket. I was hoping that the photograph would print across the spine but on-screen there seems to be no allowance for this (i.e. the width of the spread is exactly two page widths with nothing extra allowed for the width of the spine).
    So, simple question - how does the spine of the printed book appear when a photo is spread across the dust jacket?
    Thanks,
    Graham
    P.S. this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6734031&#6734031 mentions that the title is printed on the spine but doesn't say whether it appears over the photograph if the outer cover is configured as a spread...

    Richard:
    1 - the hard cover has a silver embossed title. It's very nice. Be warned that many have been unhappy with the printing on the dusk jacket. It's been dark and bad color for many. Mine came in too dark but the book was OK. Apple has been very good about making things right in those occurrences.
    2 - the spine has the book title printed on it and was oriented vertically as I recall. I gave the book away as a give so can't confirm. It's just the Title field and not the additional text that's in the lower field on the cover.

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Can I get the Dust Jacket and the Great Cover Look of iPhoto in Aperture?

    Hello,
    I am a huge fan of iPhoto (and most of the other Apple products.) I am using Aperture 2 and I recently created and ordered a book using it. I was blown away by the page layout options, however, I was greatly disappointed when I received my book and way the cover! It looked like someone just used some sort of "sticky" as the label/cover. It is already starting to peel off! Our client wasn't very happy with it at all.
    Can someone tell my how I can get the great features and flexibility of the pages that are offered in Aperture along with the great cover and dust jacked of iPhoto? That would really be great!!
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    One option could be to save the Aperture book layouts as JPEGs and then add them to an iPhoto book as full-bleed images. Then order the book via iPhoto.

  • Text on Dust Jacket different than on Hard Cover - Help

    Although I read an April 30th posting on this same subject, I did not really understand the replies.
    The dust jacket on my hardcover book is perfect in Lucinda Calligraphy Text as is all the text throughout the book. However when I checked the preview of my book, the Hard Cover Text was in a block type text.
    How do I change the block text on the Hard Cover to Lucinda Calligraphy to match the rest of the book?
    I have spent the past 2 days trying to figure this out and total frustration has finally set in.
    Since I wish to order 6 copies of this book for family members, as a tribute to my recently deceased mother, I want it to be as perfect as possible.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    PJC

    PJC:
    What theme did you use and was the text you used for the dust jacket the default font for that theme. I just checked my last book and the embossed text was the same font as the dust jacket but I had used the default font. As Larry mentioned if a non default font is used for the dust jacket maybe a default block font is used for the embossing.
    Post that question to Apple at http://www.apple.com/support/photoservices/contact_us/.

  • Color of dust jacket in photo book

    can i change color of dust jacket in photo book using aperture. its default is white but i would like it black.
    thanks
    pauline ottawa

    The color of the dust jacket depend on the theme you are using. Some themes let you select the color of the dust jacket and the background of the images.
    With "Art Collection" the only background available is white, but with the "Modern Lines" theme you can make the dust jacket black, like this:
    Select the front cover page, switch to "Edit Layout", and select the background color.
    If you need to use theme that does not allow to set the background color, you could try to add a photos box to the cover, drag the resize handle to make it fill the front page and set the border to a large value. Make the border black, then send this photos box to the background behind the title text and the title image. Do the same for the backside page of the dust jacket.

  • Lost dust Jacket front and back flap

    I composed a book in Aperture using the Journal theme. After making a couple of PDF previews, somehow???? I have lost the dust JAcket front and back flap pages. I can't find a way to re-insert these from a master or build them any other way. I have tried to show the master pages and select the front dust jacket flap master and then 'Add New Page From Master', but it won't allow me to select that option. I still have the front cover and Back cover in the Pages layout. So, how do I rebuild the dust jacket flaps? My pages are as follows: 1st is the Front Cover; 2nd is a Blank page; then 3rd is my Table of Contents page(currently showing as Page 1). I made a duplicate (to experiment with ways to solve it) and tried to rebuild it using the same theme, but it makes a mess of it, loosing all my layouts. After having spent dozens of hours on this book and it was almost ready to send, I don't want to have to start all over again. Help!!!

  • I want to track the frame number displayed in the camera and match it with the ID of the photo in Photoshop Elements

    Since I may take photos of people and many in a row, I want to log the camera's frame number and have Photoshop Elements import that number or at least show it in the photo properties.  Any suggestions, please.  Thanks  I am using a Fuji Finepix HS 30 EXP digital camera.

  • Need a dust jacket only....

    Is it possible to order just the paper cover / dust jacket for a previously printed large hardcover ibook?

    Lynn:
    Definitely suggest that option to iPhoto via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
    An alternative might be the following:
    1 - while in the book mode Control-click on the gray area next to a page and select Preview in the contextual menu.
    2 - after the book has been rendered and you're looking at the preview do a Save As PDF.
    3 - in the PDF file the first page will be the dust jacket as seen here. I'm sure you can find a printer like Kinko's to print that one page to glossy stock suitable for the dust jacket. If I'm not mistaken the size is 32.67 x 8.78 inches.

  • Does the book title appear on the dust jacket spine?

    Here's an easy question for anyone who has recently printed a book using iPhoto 08. I was just wondering if the new dust jackets show any printing on the spine. I printed my book to a PDF, and this would see to indicate the answer is "no", but I thought I'd double check.

    Paul:
    Yes, the title is printed on the dust jacket spine. You can see it in this view of the dust jacket form the pdf file that is created for uploading and printing. It's the text just to the left of the large picture with lots of red in it.

  • Poor quality of photo on cover of book

    Hi all,
    I've posted about this before, and I'm sort of dismayed that I'm the only one experiencing this.  I've made photo books in Aperture for many years now, and I just did our big year-end book for 2014.  As always, I'm very impressed by the quality of the printing in the pages of the book.  But the photos on the front and back covers (and on the dust-jacket as well) are very flat and muddy.  The problem isn't with the digital file of the photo -- the same photos appear on the pages inside the book, and they look good there.  My monitor is color-calibrated.
    Here's an interesting thing.  When the books are printed in New Jersey (or at least the FedEx shipment originates in New Jersey), the covers have the muddiness problem.  When the shipments originate in Oregon, the covers look good.  Do you think there's a way to request the Oregon printer??

    I wasn't able to find any "report a problem" link.  Also, in one place on the Apple website it says specifically about print products that "We want you to be satisfied with your product, so send it back if you don't love it."  Then in another spot it says "Print products are not returnable."  And when I go to my order information, there are no buttons or hyperlinks to click to return it.
    As I've mentioned, this has happened a number of times over the years.  I may take the books to a nearby Apple Store to see about a return or refund -- and with the demise of Aperture, I may take this opportunity to (reluctantly) look once again into Blurb books and others that I've used sporadically over the years . . .   Sigh.
    I would GREATLY appreciate hearing if others have had experiences like this or if anyone has any advice for actually contacting a human being at Apple to discuss this.  Thank you.

  • HT3412 When creating a hardcover book, is the flap paper or printed on the cover and inside the book?

    When creating a hardcover book, is the flap paper of printed on the cover and inside the cover?

    No. The book jacket is spearate from the rest of the book and inludes the photos and text boxes that you select in iPhoto.  There are no photos or text printed on the hard cover, outside or inside.  It's just like book jackets on commercial hard cover books.

  • Getting the photos I print to match what they look like on my screen.

    I'm having a hard time getting the photos I print to match what they look like on my screen.  I even bought a monitor calibrator and tried changing  my color settings in Photoshop and it hasn't seemed to help.  The pictures even look different when I pull them up in The ROES program I use to order prints from.  The pictures come out really dull compared to what they look like in Photoshop.  Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to fix this?

    There are a couple of things to note here right away.
    To get a good screen to print match the first consideration is the monitor brightness and white point temperature. The goal is a visual match to paper white.
    The calibrator will help you set this up. Spend some time to find the right settings, because it will depend on the ambient light and your whole working environment. That includes the Photoshop UI - if you use the now default dark UI, images will appear brighter than in the old light UI.
    The second thing to note is that you don't change any Photoshop color settings. The calibration and profiling is all handled automatically, once you found the right settings for white point. Just let the calibration software run through and do its thing, done. The display profile is set up as system default and Photoshop finds it there.
    Once you have a correct display of the file, you then need a correctly color managed print pipeline. If both are accurate, they will match.

  • Somehow I messed up creating my hard cover book.  I don't have the back cover and flap.  How do I get it back?

    somehow I messed up creating my hard cover book.  I don't have the back cover and flap.  How do I get it back?

    What version of iPhoto are you running?  Where are you seeing this lack of back cover and flap.
    A first try fix is this:  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    If that doesn't help create a new book and see if the back cover and flap are in it.  If so then it appears that your original book is damaged. 
    You can try rebuilding the library by launching iPhoto with the Option and Command keys held down and select the option to Repair the Database, option #3.  If that fails rebuild again with option #4, Rebuild Database.
    If that doesn't help then create a new book, verify that the back cover and flap is there and add the photos.
