Printing a Picture Frame

I've inserted pictures and then subsequently framed them in Pages...and when I print this beige background shows up around my frame...how do I get rid of this and make the color flush with my white paper?

If you print to PDF, is the annoying background visible in the pdf file too (on screen)? If not, then it's the printer that interprets the "white" background as "almost white". Look for an updated printer driver, or see if you can use another printer. (I struggled with this problem myself for a long time until they bought a new printer where I work.)

Images with Picture Frame stroke not printing?

Does anyone have a known solution to an issue in which an image with a stroke of "Picture Frame" applied will not print?
More details...
- Created pages document (originally in '08 version of Pages, then upgraded to Pages '09 to see if that fixed it -- it did not)
- Printed document in both both Pages version. All assets within document printed correctly with exception of photos that have stroke of "Picture Frame" applied.
- Printed to PDF. Opened and printed from Preview. Again, all assets within document printed correctly with exception of photos with stroke of "Picture Frame."
- Tried modifying print settings to "fit in page" as well as color correction. Same symptoms applied.
- One solution (that's not the desired behavior but should be acknowledged) -- removing stroke allows images to print.
Other:
- Problem is reproducible across both versions of pages.
- Problem may be same as seen in other searches found here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3005994?start=0&tstart=0 & here: http://forums.cnet.com/7723-21571_102-378574/pages-09-printing-problem/ & here: http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/images-graphic-design-digital-photography/23980 6-framed-pictures-wont-print-iwork-pages.html
Set-up:
- iMac running 10.7.3
- Started with iWork '08, updated to Pages '09
- HP LaserJet CP1025nw
Any advice much appreciated!

Thanks for all your help, fruhulda.
Tried:
deleting plist
uninstalling Pages
trying a different account
updating firmware
trying a different printer
The only thing that works -- which also worked for you -- was something other than this printer. And even with a firmware update, it's not working.
I'd say this is an HP CP1025nw problem, which kind of hurts given it's a newer printer for us.
Suppose it's best to consider this closed and unsolved.

Can I print multiple pictures in multiple custom sizes on the same page?

Hello. I'm trying to print some pictures for a frame. The frame has 4 slots, with two 3.5x5, one 4x6, and one 3x3. I've already changed the sizes and cropped appropriately, but iPhoto seems to resize the pictures to fit the page when I go to print (in N-Up).
Does anyone know how to do this (or if it is possible)? I have Photoshop CS2. Would I be better off trying to do this in CS2?
Thanks for any help.

Bizarro:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. JMEH has suggested the best way to get what you want. Create a blank 8.5 x 11 canvas at the dpi size that your camera produces. Mine Canon gives me 180 dpi. Then, using PS as iPhoto's primary editor, crop the file to the size you want and drag it into the open blank canvas and position it where you want. Just make sure in PS that the dpi is set to 180 (or whatever you choose to use). Once dragged into the blank canvas the changes to the file, i.e. crop, does not have to be saved and you can close that file without making any permanent changes. Do that for each of the photos you want on the blank canvas, arrange and print. When done you can close the canvas without saving for use the next time.
Do you Twango?
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Export to PDF, loss of shadows + picture frames

I like to use Pages features like shadows and picture frames on photos (using Inspector > Graphic). I then export my Pages document to PDF to send for professional printing, but when the PDF is opened on Windows machines at the printer, the shadows are gone, and the photo inside the picture frame is totally missing. Some of the picture frames will stay in the PDF without the photo, and some will completely disappear along with the photos. I have confirmed this when viewing on a friend's PC also.
I've tried both standard Pages exporting AND printing to PDF from the print dialog box, both fail.
I searched the forum high and low and was pretty surprised to find no one else discussing this issue. Any suggestions on how to work around this and preserve the shadows and picture frame treatments on PDFs viewed on Windows machines?
(Note: I have already tried converting the PDF to a JPG or TIFF file using Preview, and that essentially works, but there is enough loss of DPI to cause concern at the printer, and besides, its just not ideal to print professionally from those formats).
Also it would be amazing if there were a printing company out there who printed color & full bleed jobs directly from Pages files on their Mac- anyone know of one? That would solve the whole issue of having to fumble around preparing files for PC viewing. (Oh if it were only a Mac world)...

I agree with kirbot -- Apple includes nice templates that are obviously meant for professional printing in reasonably large quantities. Regardless, there's no good reason I can think of why Pages' PDFs are not truly WYSIWYG in their output. That shadows and other things are not exported as part of the PDF is a really dumb idea on Apple's part.
Just ran into this issue myself and had to ditch all the drop shadows in my brochure in order for the files to work with my online printer.

[CS2, CS3] Drop shadow exceeds picture frame

Hi there,
maybe this is a well known effect, if not for myself ...
If you apply a drop shadow to a placed image that has a clipping mask active, you may end up with a shadow area that falls inside the images picture frame as well as outside of it.
This is OK up to a certain point but what if I have to crop the image on one side or the other? The shadow may exceed the picture frame now where I actually want it to be cut. [Hopefully I am making myself sufficiently clear ...]
So is there some option connected to the drop shadow feature to restrict the shadow to the
inside of the picture frame?
Thanks
Klaus

I have experienced similar issues both with clipping paths and with drop shadows. I teach a class for Indesign and an image in one particular exercise I use has a clipping path around a head+shoulders shot of a woman. The path is a P'shop path created from an alpha channel.
In InDesign the image is on top of a tint background which is on a separate layer. The clipping path is not clipping the full image but is leaving a fine, white, unclipped border around the image area (may be only a single row/column of pixels all the way around). As the clipped image has a drop shadow applied in exactly the way David describes, the drop shadow is also applied to these "unclipped" pixels around the edges.
I confess that, as this is just an exercise and has never gone to print, I had not noticed this. One of my students did notice it because he had experienced the same problem in preparing a print job and it had cost his company a fair amount of money to correct it.

How do I Add a Picture Frame Around a Flash Video?

I tried searching for this but "frame" has too many meanings. I have flv videos inserted in several web pages, but they look dull without some sort of fancy border or frame around them. Maybe a picture frame. Maybe the image of a flat screen TV surrounding the image. But how do I add the image "behind" the video so that the video sits perfectly inside the image, regardless of the monitor viewing the image.

Do a google search for the IE PNG Fix javascript. Some work better than others. The one you had didn't work at all for PNG backgrounds in pre-IE7.
Copy and Paste the following document into a new blank page and see how it looks in all the major browsers. I changed your document type to XHTML transitional and replaced deprecated <div align> tags with inline CSS styles. I also ran your Flash code through http://validifyer.com to make it XHTML compliant.

Question about image size, canvas size and Picture frame

Hi,
This has always been a little confusing so let me describe what my question is:
Assume I have a created a new PSD that is 8 1/2 x 11.
The canvas size is the same 8 1/2 x 11.
I want to put a border around the picture (say 1/2 of an inch all around), and put the finished picture in a Picture frame. After it is in the frame, you would be able to see the entire picture plus the border.
Q. Should I change (reduce image size) of the PSD to (for this example), 8 x 10 1/2. Then increase the canvas size to 8 1/2 x 11. After I increased the canvas size, do a Paint Bucket fill with white (to create the White border)? then print the changed size PSD on 8 1/2 x 11 paper so that it will fit into a 8 1/2 x 11 picture frame
I realize I could have just created the new PSD to be 8 x 10 1/2 in the first place.
Hope I made this somewhat clear.
Bob

1: Decrease the size as you describe.
2. Go to File>New or Ctrl N
3. Make the box 8.5x11. Make sure the other data conforms to your image.
4. Now,holding down Ctrl-Shift, Drag the image to the new box and release the mouse. Your image will be centered in the box.
Note: there may be a method to do this including any adjustment layers, but I usually only do this as a last step, flattening a copy of the working file.

Share a movie that will play on Kodak M820 EasyShare Picture Frame

I've been looking for a way to export a movie that will play on this picture frame, and although the box says it will play MOV, AVI, MPG and a few other formats, in the fine print under troubleshooting it says it might not actually play these formats if they didn't come from a KODAK camera. I've researched all afternoon and found no useful information since my quicktime pro version doesn't have the settings mentioned in other threads all over the web.
I spent way too much on this if it doesn't play movies I can export from imovie 09, or another converter. Any suggestions by the amazing pros? I'm frustrated beyond measure...

I'm making progress. I looked up Kodak Easyshare camera specs for their movies, and made them match. I now have stripes running across the screen, big fat flashing ones, and that is a huge improvement over "file format not supported."
I did Share > Export using Quicktime > Settings : Mpeg-4, 13 fps, limit to 5000 kpbs, no sound, quality Medium, Dimensions 640x480.
Gives a .mov file.
Maybe this gives y'all something to work with.

Print multiple pictures on one page..so frustrating please help

Just trying to print multiple pictures on a single piece of paper. The drop down menu that says "print multiple pictures on page" is grayed out and wont let me select it. I have read thread after thread , watched tutorial after tutorial and nothing addresses this simple command. What am I missing. Thank you in advance for your help

Select the pictures and type Command+P to bring up the Print window. Then click on the Contact Sheet option at the left. You can change the number of photos per page and their size by clicking on the Customize button and the changing the number of columns on the page. The size of each photo will automatically be scaled to fit.
If you want a specific size, then instead of selecting Contact Sheet select a print size. The size you select will determine how many photos of that size you'll get on the paper size selected.

I have many photos with file extension of .PDD and that Photo Deluxe 4 no longer will operate in Win 7. How can I open? Next in Elements 11, how do I load and print different pictures and different sizes options on the same page?

How to delete the photoes in the picture frame

I deleted all the photoes, but they still show in the picture frame. How to delete them?

If you have any synced photos on your iPad the only way to delete those is by syncing again with iTunes... Either sync an empty photo folder or unselect the photos folder from the photos tab in iTunes and sync again.
Are you sure that you are not using Photos from your Photo Stream? Go to Settings>Picture Frame and make sure that there are no albums, or photo stream photos to choose from.

How can I print multiple pictures on a single sheet?

Today 3/27/2012 I tried downloading HP software that says it has a new feature that allows printing multiple pictures on a single sheet of photopaper. The download started and halted at only one square and sat there flashing for hours, meaning it wasn't downloading on my Pavilion desktop computer. Since it's a new feature (apparently), no wonder no one as yet has asked this question and so I doubt if anyone has the answer. But, I'll wait to see.

You are probably going to get help by posting in the iPhoto forum. You can easily locate it by clicking on Apple Support Discussions on the top left of this page then navigating to the iPhoto forums.
