Problem print n-up in iPhoto 07

I scanned six pages into my system and put them in iPhoto because I wanted to print them 4-up (they are 8.5x11"). When I went to print them, the print preview panel showed the first page as it should be with four of the six pages arranged two over two and taking up 1/4 of the physical page. However, when the page is actually printed, all six images are printed on one page, the firtst four on the top line and the last two on the next line with the two rows taking up about half the page which is in portrait.
When I print just four, they take up the top left quadrant of the page, i.e., the space that would be occupied by just one of the six pages, but the four chosen are scaled down as though the top left quadrant were the entire page.
I have tried printing four actual photos 4-up and they work fine. Is there something different aout scanned jpg files?

Allan:
I was able to get 6 image files printed onto to pages, each page 4 pics/page. First we have to enter the Custom mode, select a frame type and then the 4 per page layout. That will take the first four into one page. In the thumbnail tray will be thumbnails of the other two images. You need to select both of them, select a frame type (for some reason you can't get anything other than 1 photo per page without a frame) and the select the 4 photos per page.
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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Problems printing Greeting Cards from iPhoto 6 and 8

    I've had this problem since I tried it in iPhoto 6, and that is printing greeting cards in iPhoto doesn't work with my inkjet printer. When the first page prints, it's not centered, so when I flip the page and print page 2, they are not aligned and won't cut correctly. My Aunt is able to print cards from iPhoto but only by doing some long 20 step process of exporting them to jpgs using Preview, then printing them from some custom template in Pages. When Mr. Jobs said "Home Printing" was going to be fixed in '08, I got all excited only to see I'm having the same problems. Any one have any luck with this from inside iPhoto?

    If you have a 3rd party editor that can handle layers take a look at Tutorial #8.

  • Problem printing photos in a lab with an exported iPhoto CD

    Hi all,
    I wanted to print photos from my iPhoto library. I filled a complete CD with photos (altogether 317 picutures) and brought it to a printing shop (Pharamprix in Canada) to let them do the printing. Please note I have done that with my Windows PC before and it worked fine.
    What has happened is the following. When I picked up the photos I could not believe what I saw, because I received around 700 printed pictures. Half of the stack was a blury, very grain pictures and the other half of it was clear.
    So my guess is that the export (as I read in another article) of photos puts also other images (is guess also the thumbnails) on the CD.
    Those images were intepereted by the photo shop and where printed accordingly. When I inserted the CD in my iPhoto it shows 317 photos, if I insert the CD into a Windows PC it shows roughly 700.
    Did anyonee experience the same problem? How can I export it so that I do not have the problem again.
    Is Apple aware of this???
    Any thoughts on that will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Gerd

    Did you burn the CD by using the Share->Burn Disc menu option? If so then you burned an iPhoto formatted disk that included all of the thumbnails, original files of those you've edited and the edited files, all jpg files. The photofinisher's software look for jpgs and printed every thing it found.
    To burn a CD of the photos you want to print, after selecting those images use the Share->Export->File Export menu option. In that window select full sized images. (It's best if you crop the images to the size you want printed beforehand so you don't leave the cropping to the automatic machine at the photofinisher.) Then export to a mounted blank CD and burn in the Finder.

  • Problems printing multiple copies on 1 page in iPhoto version 9.5.1

    I'm having problems printing multiple copies of a photo in my version of iPhoto 9.5.1. I've tried looking at the answers given in Macworld forums for iPhoto '09 but I can't follow them as they refer to clicking 'preferences' - but this button isn't displayed on the 'print' page. Is my version iPhoto '09 or '11?

    iPhoto 9.5.1 is the most recent version of iPhoto '11, as part of the iLife '11 suit of applications.  The printing dialog changed between iPhoto '09 and iPhoto '11.
    The easiest way to print multiple copies of the same photo on one page is to simply duplicate your photo (from the "Photos" menu:  "Photos > Duplicate" and then to select all copies at once and use "File > Print":
    Then select a template and press the "Print" button.

  • Problems printing from iPhoto 6: Page setup & Preview

    I am having trouble printing from iPhoto v6. For starters, the miniture preview frame in the print screen does not conform to the paper size selection or image orientation. (It is always a big square.) Only part of a 4x6 image image is seen in the frame. This makes predicting the final result impossible. To make matters harder, the print dialog does not remember what paper size was last used and many internal "Advanced" options reset the paper size to "letter". Simple choosing any printer preset resets the paper size. Switching from advanced options to the iPhoto options seems to alter other selected options as wlll.
    I have the most current driver for my printer. I have no problem printing from Aperture or Photoshop. I have custom color profiles and am not entirely a novice, but I am wasting much paper and ink and spraying the inside of my printer!
    The use of the native iPhoto print routines seems mutually exclusive with using Advanced options. I understood that the first iterations of iPhoto wanted us to depend on the Mac Print routines, and it was always a little touchy but I would have hoped earlier problems would have been sorted out by now. I want to print my own pictures!
    Much confusion and no place to find good instructions. For example, should I be using "Full Page" or "Standard Prints" Standard settings in the print interface? There appear to be several places to select print sizes but they do not seem linked together nor is it obvious which one is determinitive. Under color options do I select Color Corrections <none> or <Colorsync> which then forces me to use driver recommended by Canon despite the fact I have a custom profile identified in Color sync utility. It just isn't working for me.
    Are others notiing that iPhoto print routines are no longer working for them? I would like to see the internal print routines working intuitively before additional efforts are made to facilitate purchase from outside printing sources!

    goldn:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Just ran a test and I got a perfect card. Here's what I did.
    1 - create the card and type Command-P.
    2 - select Stylus Photo R200 under Printer
    3 - click on the Advanced button
    4 - in the bottom drop down menu select Paper Handling
    5 - select the radio button "Use documents paper size: 7.00 in x 10.00 in
    6 - now select Print Settings in the 3rd drop down menu
    7 - select the type of paper you're using and the print quality you want. I used Photo and High Speed. (also used plain paper for my test)
    9 - put a piece of 7 x 10 paper in the printer (yes, you'll have to trip the paper beforehand or use card stock designed for this)
    10 - click on Print
    11 - when the paper exits the printer quickly put it back in the printer
    That will do it. Now there is a caveat. Putting it back into the printer before drying tended to get my leading edge nipped. If you use heaver card stock I don't think that will happen but just be aware. If you wait a moment to put the page, turned over, back into the printer to let the ink dry a bit, all you'll have to do is press the middle button which will be blinking red and that will feed the other side thru when you're ready.

    If anyone can help me fix this it would me a good help for me . I as wondering if network printing is supported in iphoto4 . I think maybe thats the problem it wont work on a network card like jetdirect card, hp lio based network card .

  • Printing 4x6 photo in iPhoto Problem

    When trying to print a 4x6 in iPhoto, the print image is enlarged and cuts out the outer part of the photo. How can I get it to print the real size?

    A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
    This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

  • Can't print in color from iPhoto

    When I try to print a photo from iPhoto, using my color printer, I get a black & white print (not even greyscale). I can print in color from other applications, just not from iPhoto (but I think I used to print in color from iPhoto). Any clues out there?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and try again. Next, remove the printer from the Print and Fax preference pane and reinstall. Also, depending on your printer brand, check the Apple Downloads page for the new printer drivers offered by Apple. Those might help.

  • Color problem printing from iBook G4

    having problems printing photos from an iBook G4 (10.3.9). The colors come out a bit over-saturated and muddy.
    The same photos printed from my G5 Quad (10.4.6) come out looking fine.
    I have used the iBook with a Canon ip6600 and ip6000 pixma photo printers and tried printing from iPhoto 5.0.4 and InDesign CS.
    anyone else having this problem or know of a solution?

    I have no idea, either.
    Try these generic fixes (before reinstalling OS X):
    Download the Combination Updater from Apple, use it to re-Update OS X.
    Try Printer Setup Repair from www.fixamac.net.
    Use a Disk Utility like Disk Warrior to repair the HD -- or, put in your install DVD and restart while holding the c key. DO NOT continue the installer - instead, find Disk Utility in the top (Finder) menus and use it to repair the hard drive.

  • Can't print contact sheet in iPhoto 11

    iPhoto 11 9.4.3: OS 10.8.5; iMac mid 2011; Epson WP-4020 printer. All of a sudden, I cannot print a contact sheet from iPhoto. Had no problem doing so before. I now get error message from printer "Paper out, incorrect loading, or paper jam," none of which apply. No problem printing individual photos or anything else. Other posts have indicated a problem with a theme not being selected and to select one after clicking on a theme button. I cannot find the theme button to check this out. Where is this button and would this solve my problem?
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    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.

  • When I print out photo thru iPhoto, the result is too dark.

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with printing a photo via iPhoto recently.
    I remember when I used iPhoto 9 to print out some of my photos but at that moment the result was pretty OK to me.
    However, I don't know exatly when but I guess it could be since I upgraded to iPhoto 10...
    Everytime I tried to print out some of my photos from my iPhoto library, the result is way too dark than its original color.
    I am using HP Photosmart device(C410ㅁ) with fuji photo papers.
    I tried to change several options like color sync or printing quality but NO use!!
    Strange thing is that if I use airprint with my iPhone or iPad, color level seems to be OK.
    But again, iPhone airprint doesn't give any options to manage printing quality level, it couldn't mitigate my problem, either.
    Is there anyone out there who has the same or similar problem just like me?
    Please share your knowledge to solve this issues.
    Thanks in advance
    Luke.

    What is the color profile of the photo?

  • Problems Printing from Epson 2400 in Lightroom 2.3

    I'm in the process of switching over from a PC to a Mac. I've gotten lightroom running and transfered all my photos over. But I'm having two big problems printing from my Epson 2400.
    *8.5x11 prints are offset. The top of the picture starts about an inch lower than it should, and the bottom typically gets cut off.
    *Lightroom refuses to print 4x6 prints. It says it's printing, and the paper feeds in, but then the printer just spits out a blank page.
    I'm using the most current version of the Epson 2400 driver that I could find on the Epson web site.
    [Update] I used iPhoto 9 to print out some pictures, and they came out fine. So this seems to be a lightroom issue or a conflict between the lightroom/epson drivers.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Further update. It appears that I can print perfectly from another account on the same mac. But the account on which my catalog resides doesn't work at all. Could my catalog have been corrupted when I transfered my photos and catalog over to the new mac from the pc? Is there any way that I can fix it? (I have tried optimize and relaunch; no luck.)
    I could -- as a last restort -- kill the catalog and reimport all my thousands of photos, but wouldn't I loose the keywords and adjustments?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • Unable to print Contact Sheets from iPhoto

    Hi there,
    Since installing Lion 10.7.5 on my Mac Pro I no longer get the option to print Contact Sheets from iPhoto. I'm running quite an old version of it I think (Version 6.0.6), however this was no problem before the upgrade.
    Can anyone suggest a solution for this?
    Thanks in advance.

    I just fired up my iPhoto 6.0.6 under Mt. Lion and I have no contact option in that version either.  You'll have to upgrade to at least iPhoto 7 (08) in order to get contact sheets back.  So you might as well upgrade to the latest iPhoto from the App Store.
    If you also want the latest versions of iWeb and iDVD (which have been discontinued by Apple) you'll have to purchase a copy of the iLife 11 disc from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: iLife 11.

  • Problems with Calendar order from iPhoto

    I've tried twice to create a calendar out of iphoto and I've gotten a response via email after several days that there was a problem with the order:
    Apple discovered an issue with the file you submitted. It appears the
    calendar has small month names. As a result, Apple is unable to process
    your order and you will not be charged.
    We recommend updating your software, changing the theme on your print
    product, then changing it back to the original theme.
    Once completed, preview your print product in iPhoto, and place the
    order again.

    There are no updates for my OS or iPhoto. I changed themes and went back to the original (and had to rebuild it all over again, grrrr). Any ideas what could be causing this?
    So much for getting these for Christmas presents. Thanks!

    Dear Martha,
    I had the same problem, and this bug in iPhoto cost me my yearly christmas presents for all of our families (grandparents, aunts, uncles etc.)
    By digging through this forum, I found the solution that actually worked for me.
    But I will not order the calendars from Apple because they cancelled the calendars three times without telling me what the problem was, and endless and numerous calls with different support people at Apple gave no solution.
    I will now export PDFs and send them to a different service.
    Maybe in your case there is another project.db file?
    Sometimes, when iPhoto rebuilds databases, it seems that it creates a second one.
    (I read it here somewhere in the forum - so I hope this could be a good hint to follow)
    All the best,
    Martin
