Printing and shipping of photo books

Does anyone know where books, cards and calendars are printed? I'm in Canada and don't want to have to pay duty, taxes etc. if they are printed and shipped from the US.

Brian-I THOUGHT they were printed in Markham Ontario, so I ordered one. I just received my shipment tracker and found the book is shipping out of Medford Oregon, USA. So far I am not impressed. I have already paid 8.99 in shipping and nowhere during the order process was there an indication that there would be extra fees such as the ones you mentioned-customs, duty, excise, etc. I will let you know if there are additional fees once it gets here.

How can I print and ship a photo book from another country?

I wish to print and ship a book from a different country (Hong Kong) but have it billed to my Canada credit card in order to avoid overseas shipping costs.. Does anyone know if this is possible? If I create a unique Apple ID on HK web site with a local HK shipping address it still won't allow me to use my Canada credit card which has a Canadian billing address.

If I create a unique Apple ID on HK web site with a local HK shipping address it still won't allow me to use my Canada credit card which has a Canadian billing address.
The county of the billing address, the country of the store, and the country of the credit card must match.

HT1051 I bought my macbook in Canada and ordered a photo book. I am now in France and would like to order one for here. does it still have to be sent from Canada?

I bought my mac book in canada and ordered a photo book from iphoto. I am now in France and want to reorder, do I have to have the books sent from Canada. It seems so unecessary.

You can set the print products country in the iPhoto preferences - you may be able to order the book - teh rules seem to change on payment method and shipping locations - available information that I have found is here - http://store.apple.com/us/help/print_products/routing

Compare quality and features between aperture3 and iPhoto 11 photo books

Are photo books created in either aperture3 or iPhoto 11 the same or does one software program produce a better end result?

I only discovered my problem AFTER I had uploaded my book for printing. i went back and tried to create a PDF to save and discovered my problem. It had looked fine on the screen and I never received any sort of error message during the upload. I contacted Apple and they looked at what had been uploaded and saw that it was corrupted like my PDF so they canceled the order. I then went thru the process of rebooting in safe mode and tried a preview before uploading the second time. I called Apple again and they said the uploaded file appeared to be fine this time -- I have not received the book yet, but I am hoping it looks alright after printing. I experimented last night with making a duplicate of the original book project, then changed the template on the duplicate to Large instead of XL (everything else was the same as far as template style and color), then I ran a preview of that duplicate -- there were no corrupted files in the preview. It appears to me that the problem is not with corrupted photo files in my library but has to do with the size selection -- no XL books. When converting from Large to XL, the photos and their pkacement were exactly as the original but the size and location of all the Text alterations I had made to the original had been changed in the duplicate and would require editing again. This was the only difference in the two. Until Apple resolves this issue with another update, I suggest you either create only Large books and avoid XL -OR- boot in "safe mode" to send the XL book to print. I hope Apple corrects this issue soon because the XL books really are beautiful and it seems ridiculous to have to reboot everytime you want to purchase a book. Hope this helps.

IPhoto and Buying a Photo Book

When I try to buy a photo book that I have created my Apple Id information (billing address and shipping address) are wrong. The country defaults to Finland and I live in Greece (Greece is not even a country in the Pick list ?!?!?!?!?!?!) Via Apple's website I have made sure that my Apple Id's address info is correct, but how can I use iPhoto to buy the book I have created and have it shipped to me?

You can't. Apple's Photo Services are not currently available in Greece, I'm afraid.
Apple sells and ships products only within Austria, Belgium, Denmark (excluding the Faroe Islands), Finland (excluding the Aland Islands), France (excluding French Guyana, Reunion, Martinique and Guadaloupe), Germany, Ireland, Italy (excluding Livigno, San Marino and Vatican City), the Netherlands, Norway, Spain (excluding the Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla), Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom (excluding the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Gibraltar and any other Crown dependencies or overseas territories of the United Kingdom)

Can I print the photo book with any fonts?

I would like to print a photo book using iphoto. Is it possible to print this by using any fonts?

Don't get up your hopes, Old Toad . I never tried to buy a photo book from the iPad.
The documentation does not say much:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5037
It only mentions, that you can change the font size:
Edit text on a page
Tap Projects, and tap the photo book to open it.
Double-tap the page containing the text you want to work with.
Do the following:
Align the text: Tap the text box, and choose an alignment style from the menu that appears directly above the text box.
Choose the font size: Tap the text box, and tap the font size you want.
Make changes to the text: Double-tap the text box, and type.
No mention of the supported font. Probably the fonts will depend on the country of the Print Products Store you are using:
To change countries, tap at the top-left corner of the screen, and select another country from the list.

Photo Books stc now in Australia

On the front page of apple.com I saw that photobooks stc are now avaliable in Australia. Yippie.
I quickly jumped into iPhoto and made a quick photobook, and it was happy to take my order and ship to my aussie address.
I think fuji photo in Australia are the printers. Poor snapfish.

Odd...
I've made a hardcover book and it has been printed and shipped - can't wait to see what it looks like!
Maybe you need to update your iPhoto with Software Update to make it work properly. There was a recent update which coincided with the announcement of the printing service - could be a coincidence though.
Worth a try.
Good Luck

Buying a photo book

I am in Brazil and Iphoto book printing is not available here. However, my aunt lives in Connecticut and I wanted to print and ship book to her address. Is that possible? I dont seem to be able to connect when i try to place my order. What can I do? And if creating an account to be shipped to my aunt's address is not available, how can i save the book in a layout that i can take it to be printed somewhere else?

Greetings,
I do not believe Apple currently has Photo Services in South America: http://www.apple.com/support/photoservices/ww/
To find out for sure, you could click on the USA section and then following the links to send an email to the Photo Services department to ask them if they have the ability to place orders in and ship to South America.
You can save your Book / Card / Calendar etc. as a PDF and take it to a printer as well: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040
Cheers.

Color profiles for I photo books

Is there a desired color profile to use for printing books with i photo
My images are currently adobe-rgb. jpegs brought in from CS
When I print the images thru CS they look great.
When i print them thru I photo book or the PDF they look very dark and muddy...and would assume the same of the book printing online.
any ideas on how to get the best print.
Is there a color profile availabe from the online book printers or are we just winging it
Also tried converting one page to S-RGB Still Muddy / dark thru i photo book
and PDF Print. And just fine thru CS
Any Ideas??
Thank you

I guess I am going to throw caution to the wind and see what happens.
Only one way to find out, Right
Though I did go back and lighten my images. Also
Ran color synch utility, which fixed 11 corrupt color profiles.(none of the 11 profiles pertained to i photo)
I guess I am afraid to use pref setter,, to set the key embed color profile.
Confused as to what that means??? Does that mean that all my CS Adobe-RGB jpegs will keep their color profile???
Also implanted one image as an SRGB vs the rest which will all be AdobeRGB
Oddly my color management in CS is almost Flawless. Yet, get me out of CS and I am completely lost!!!! Complicated stuff
Toad, I did want to pass on that AdobeRGB 1998 is a much more robust color profile then SRGB especially when it come to printing on Epson. It might be worth experimenting with and if you really want to get into it there is also
Pro photo RGB which is Huge color space, but a beast to work with
Here is a link

Will report back on my book

Create / order photo books

Just received my photo book from Mpix. Looks fantastic. Sure would be a
lot easier if I could create and order these photo books from within LR
(similar to creating a web gallery) without having to export and use another
application. I look forward to the eminent release of the LR SDK so that LR
can be extended with this and many other useful enhancements.
Best,
Christopher

> Am I missing something here?
Yes, I think so. You claim every print company has it's own requirements.
I do not disagree. That's why the SDK is needed, so that each print company
may supply their own LR plugin. To create my Mpix photo book, I downloaded
the Mpix photo book application and used that. After the LR SDK is
released, rather than use company-specific applications, companies will have
the opportunity to develop company-specific plugins, thus allowing us to
work within LR.
Think about the vast number plugins for AE and Photoshop. Many of them are
fanctastic, and seemlessly extend the AE / Photoshop architectures. That is
why I eagerly await the release of the LR SDK. It will allow third-party
developers to extend the LR architecture, and each of us can pick and choose
which extensions / plugins we want to use.
Best,
Christopher

Photo Book Issue

I've previously made photo books on shutterfly, ifoto and at walgreens.com without any problem. Now suddenly when I click to choose a photo book the apps at all sites fail to initialize. Screen just sits there in limbo. It's only an issue on my individual Mac (the websites interface without problem on my husbands PC and my kids's Mac). I must have done something to some setting to block this function ... can anyone tell me what? I've already tried monkeying with my security and don't see anything that would impede access to laying out and purchasing basic photo books online.
Thanks!~
Leslie

Repost the image using the camera icon in the tool bar so we can see what you're referring to.
Have you made a PDF preview of the book as Apple suggested and does the 61 show up?
Command (right) - clicking on any page will give you this contextual menu with options for previewing books before ordering:
We always recommend saving the PDF file to compare it with the printed copy when it arrives. That gives you dated proof of what the pdf looked like when ordered. The book needs to be previewed in a pdf as a pdf is what is created and transmitted for printing.
I vaguely remember another post about some errant text in the book but can't find the post now.
Apple is offering you a 50% rebate and will let you keep the existing books. If you error is on the dust jacket you might be able to correct the dust jacket text, create a PDF file and have just the dust jacket printed locally by a local printer like Kinkos.

Incorrect Photo Book

I recently created and purchased a photo book through iPhoto as a christmas present for a close family member. While working on the book, I had to crop some of the pictures, including some with the recipiant in them, numerous times so that they would look the way they are supposed to. When I transfered the book to purchase it, everything looked perfect. When I received the book those pictures that needed to be cropped and re-cropped, were cropped incorrectly in the finished book. Also, some of the text is on the wrong page. Considering this is intended to be a present, I cannot give the book to the recipient if it is not correct.
My question is, what are my options now. Am I able to reprint the book at no cost, or will it cost me another $80 dollars to try to get one printed properly?

Kerry:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You will need to contact Apple at http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto/customerservice/orderbooks/. You should get a refund. As for reprinting you'll have to resubmit the book. Here's what you can do to check the book before you send it on up to Apple. iPhoto creates a pdf file for uploading and printing. You can find and copy it and check it out for completeness and errors before completing the order.
How to Find the iPhoto Generated PDF File:
1 - Start the ordering process and stop after the book has been assembled and you get to the Order pane where you select the cover color, copies, etc.
2 - Go to the Finder and select the Go->Go to Folder menu item (CommandShiftG).
3 - copy the following, “/private/var/tmp/folders.501/TemporaryItems/iPhoto” (for Panther the path is ‘/private/tmp/501/TemporaryItems/iPhoto “), and paste into the Go to Folder search box.
4 - the iPhoto folder will be brought up. In it will be the PDF file that was generated by iPhoto. You can copy it (Option-drag) to the Desktop to review and/or save.
Note: the iPhoto folder will not exist before you start the ordering process and is deleted after the order is completed or after you cancel the order and quit iPhoto.
Hope this has been of some help. Good luck.

Contact Sheet, Photo Collage, or Photo Book?

Request help to better understand PSE6 capability and to identify the right option to use:
A. Contact Sheet Option
I have 138 pictures that I can print using "contact sheet" with landscape page setup and 6 pictures per page. I can separately select to include dates and captions. The result looks great! The issue is that I can not save the collection of contact sheets as a PDF or as any kind of file that I can electronically send to anyone, or recall, edit, or print again.
B. Photo Book Option.
The photo book option puts one picture on one page and 4 on the next. Never six pictures on one page. And I also have to fiddle with frame size, etc to compensate for portait vs lanscape pictures. It also will not let me include dates. It can, however, be saved as a PDF.
C. The photo collage option
The photo collage option lets you select between 21 picture/page options. However none of them include 4 or 6 pictures per page, and half of them are for angled picture placements. It also will not include dates. but it can be saved as a PDF.
What I think I really want is option A (Contact Sheet) with the ability to PDF or save the resultant set of contact sheets in one file.
Am I understanding the problem and the capability right?
I'm using PSE6 with a one year old Dell Vostro 1510 with Vista and 4 meg memory.
Thanks for your guidance,
Ron

You can try using one of the free pdf makers such as PDF reDirect. (google to find many choices).
When you install one of these you get a pdf maker as a printer option. Simply choose the pdf maker as your printer when you hit print and you will get a pdf.
