PhotoBook:  Can it be used for very technical Illustrator pages?

I'm considering PhotoBook to print an 8 page technical document with tons of text, diagrams, photos, and illustrations. The font goes as low as 6pt in places. Has anyone tried this with Apple's printing services?
I know it can be done and don't really need instructions on doing it (unless someone can suggest a better method than JPG conversion). I'm really just asking if the results will look sharp and crisp.
How's the downsample between iPhoto and the final printed page in other words?
Many thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. For one the minimum number of pages you can have in a book is 20. That's due to the binding requirements. What format was the technical document created in?
You can do a Print->PDF->Save PDF to iPhoto and get a jpg of each page of the document. However you may have problems with putting portrait oriented pages on a books landscape page and iPhoto books cannot be changed to portrait orientation.
You might investigate another online book provider that would have the portrait oriented layout. Some are:
Sites for Ordering Bound Books
Ofoto
Shutterfly
SharedInk
ImageStation
PhotoWorks
Viovo
Blurb
You could then use the pages as jpg images from the method described above. To get maximum resolution download the add the workflow I created in Automator that ups the dpi of those jpg files to 300 to your HD/Library/PDF Services folder. You can download it from Toad's Cellar. It's called Save PDF to iPhoto 300 DPI.workflow. Or you can create your own by following Old Toad's Tutorial #5 - Changing the DPI resolution of the Save PDF to iPhoto Automator workflow.
Steps 1 thru 5 of Old Toad's Tutorial #6 - Creating an iDVD Slideshow From an iPhoto Book describes how you would convert an iPhoto book to jpg files and get them into iPhoto for use as needed.
Also, Old Toad's Tutorial #19 - Creating a Custom Text Page, with the Theme's Background for an iPhoto Book describes how to create custom pages for an iPhoto book.

  • T500 - HDD for Ultrabay - can it be used for Recovery Media & Backups & Page File & data?

    I'm learning to check first before buying things.
    I am considering getting a generic ultrabay SATA adapter
    http://cgi.ebay.com/SATA-adapter-IBM-THINKPAD-43N3412-R400-W500-X200S-R500-/130441260492
    and a WD 7,200 HDD
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136278
    Can the ultrabay HDD be used for Recovery Media, and also Backups, page file, and other data?
    And can the Backups on this HDD be deleted, so only the last backup is present?
    Also, is it possible to use a HDD in the ultrabay slot, without an adpater?  My T500 is a desktop replacement currently, so the HDD wouldn't need to be protected from movement or bumps.
    Thanks for any ideas

    For all of you who know less than I do,  a HDD in the ultrabay slot can be used as a Recovery boot, and for the R&R backups.
    These must both be put on the primary partition of the HDD.
    I believe, but can't test or confirm, that another partition (logical partition) could be added to the drive and used for page filing and data.

  • Can iCloud be use for existing photo storage

    can icloud be used for storage of all my existing photos as long as i buy the extra storage?

    No. iCloud is not a backup and Photo Stream has 1000 photos and 1 month limitation.
    You can use Dropbox app for that.

  • Can I legally use for commercial purposes the Photoshop CS6 Extended Student Version?

    Can I legally use for commercial purposes the Photoshop CS6 Extended Student Version or do I have to get the Photoshop CS6 Extended normal (commercial) version? I want to make a game and I'll use things created in Photoshop, like images. And I'll sell this game, so I'll get money with it: it's something commercial. Do I have to get the commercial version for that or can I use a Student's one?
    And can I make what I need to do in a trial version and then pay the license before selling the game or it's obligatory to have the license since the beggining?
    See you!

    You can start work on your game from the moment you download and complete the installation of the Trial version.
    No-one will be standing over you watching what you do or monitoring you remotely or noting when you pay for the software.
    You can buy the software at any time during the Trial period. However, after a maximum 30 days of using the Trial, you will have to pay to keep using the software.
    Other than that, do what you like with the Trial.
    (If you somehow finish the game after 20 days of using the Trial then you can start selling the game even if you have not yet purchased the software.)

  • Is there a format for a file that I can use for attaching a one page document with photos embedded that will open in everyone's email automatically?   I've tried PDF and Word, but worked only in Mail.  Lost formatting when just copied and pasted in email.

    Is there a format for a file that I can use for attaching a one page document with photos embedded that will open in everyone's email automatically?   I've tried PDF and Word, but PDF worked only in Mail.  Word worked in nothing.  I also tried copying and pasting the document but lost all formatting when just copied and pasted in email.  Is there a way to do this?

    Are you sure PDF won't work? It should as what you're trying to do is pretty much what it is designed for (PDF - Portable Document Format). On a Mac anywone who receives the file should be able to see it in all its page layout glory by using the app Preview or Adobe Reader. Same on a PC, the file should be viewable as a PDF file using Adobe Reader and probably some other viewer (don't use PCs so not sure what other apps).
    What application are you creating the file in and are you sure you're exporting it correctly in PDF format, fonts and images embedded?

  • I-tunes keeps saying that my card can't be used for payments in the uk.

    After been away from I-tunes for over a year now, I have returned and attemptted to purchase music. I-tunes asked me to confirm my payment details but keeps stating that my card can't be used for payment in the uk. I've carefully checked the details several times, and use the card regularly on other sites. Thanks oin advance for the help.

    This is probably a dumb question on my part, but you are in the UK iTunes Store and using a credit card issued by a UK bank with a UK billing address, yes? If not, tell us what country you're in and what country your card is from and billed to, and someone can probably steer you in the right direction or at least provide an explanation.

  • HT4718 My copy of Lion is damaged and can't be used for reinstallation, what can i do?

    when I launch Lion Recovery and try to reinstall the OS, there is a message that says that my copy of lion is damaged and can't be used for reinstallation. what can I do?

    Sorry but that makes no sense.
    The Lion install files are not stored on your computer so they can't be damaged. When using the Lion Recovery HD and you want to Re-Install Lion the install files are downloaded from the internet before the actual install begins.
    If at one time you saved the Lion install files, secifically the InstallESD.DMG, and created your own Lion Install USB thumb drive and that is what you are booting from then this same type of thing has happened to me.
    If you can't boot to the current Lion install, or you wiped your hard drive, you can try booting to the included Recovery HD and then download and install Lion or try the Online Internet Recovery HD system by holding down the Command+r keys OR the Command+Option+r keys when starting the system. One of those keyboard combos will take you to the online Lion Recovery system where you can download and install Lion.

  • Photoshop cs2 student version, can it be used for commercial use?

    Some years ago I bought an Adobe Photoshop cs2 student version. Can it be used for commercial use now?

    Hi Bob,
    Another guy posted on the thread:
    "Yes, if you are in the United States. Maybe in other countries."
    So if I am from Denmark, does the "Yes" still apply?

  • If I purchase an app for iphone can that be used for ipad as well?

    If I purchase an app for iphone can that be used for ipad as well? or viceversa..? If yes, can I retrieve the same app when I purchase a new iphone (ofcourse I maintain the same app id) free of cost?

    Some can, some cannot. Most iPhone apps can be used on an iPad (though not all), but the reverse is true less often. Check the specifications and system requirements for the app you're interested in. You can easily add the app, presuming it's compatible, of course, to any new iPhone without additional charge either by synching it from iTunes or by downloading the app again from the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • DataTrigger : can it be used for other pl/sql code than before and after?

    Hi,
    I was wondering whether the <dataTrigger ...../> can also be used for other PL/SQL code than just using it for the beforeReport, afterReport and stuf.
    Just now I placed a call to it in the datastructure, as last entry in a group (for headers f.i.), called it AfterHeaderTrigger, and called a function in a package.
    It didn't fail, but I dont think it excecuted it though.
    So, can you do that?
    thanks

    thanks, that's what I thought.
    It's a shame, it would have been so cool.
    thanks

  • Can EXIT_SAPMF02K_001 be used for vendor record modification?

    Can EXIT_SAPMF02K_001 be used for update of Vendor master record or just for doing custom checks. I tried a lot to update NAME1 field but it seems its not possible to that.
    Has someone done that in past ?
    Regards,

    No,You can't update if you use this FM.
    I am sure that there is no user exit to update vendor master.

    The computer connection is known as a LAN Ethernet port.
    Whether or not Sonos can connect to a LAN Ethernet port is probably a question for Sonos support.
