Producing an iPhoto book using RAW images

I have used IPhoto to create photo books using many cameras. Now I use a NIKON DSLR 5300 camera and cannot produce the phonebook. I am fairly certain after doing much research that it is to do with RAW images. I have OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 and the latest Digital Camera RAW compatibility Update V6.02 was installed on my MAC on 16 December 2014.
I have created the book in I Photo, the assembly process gets completed and when the book is to be UPLOADED an error message comes up saying that I could either cancel or re-try. Have re-tired over a dozen times - no luck.
Can anyone help me troubleshoot this one please?

The error message AN ERROR OCCURRED UPLOAD YOUR ORDER has only arisen since using my Nikon camera.
It may be a coincidence, Linda. If there is another problem with your Mac or AppleID, that occurred at the same time, it might look like the new camera were the culprit. Let's summarize, what you already explored with Larry:
When I preview the book it looks great, I then proceed to BUY BOOK.
To be clear, the preview created with http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 looks great? No missing photos or text in the preview? Then your RAW photos are fine.
I used SAFE MODE to buy my book; however the error remains.
Safe Mode will clear caches and disable non-standard extensions. If your network is reliable, the order should go though.
Have you checked these things?
Try to disable timeouts by turning off the energy saver in system Preferences, so your Mac does not fall asleep at a critical moment.
Disable fire walls and antivirus filters, like Little Snitch. The SafeMode should take care of that, but do it nevertheless.
Your country setting in iPhoto Preferences > Advanced: Is the Print Products Store set to the country you are in? The same as Delivery address and Billing Address?
Have you reentered your billing address and delivery address at the Apple Store?
Check your AppleID settings and enable "Express Checkout" for your Apple ID directly at the Apple Store. You can do this right from this web page. Look at the black title bar at the top of this page. There is a Store menu to the left. Click it to open the page of the Apple Store. On the next page click the head icon to the left of the shopping cart to open the settings for your account. There you can enable the Express Checkout settings at the link "Update Express Checkout Settings".
Check your settings for date and time in the System preferences, also your location settings in System Preferences > Language&Region. your region should be set to Australia, if you are ordering from an Australian Store, as your forum name suggests.
One last thing - sometimes the Apple Print Products Store is really not available for ordering. Last year, for a few weeks, nobody could order print products from Australia. If all fails, give the Australian Print Products Store a call - use the phone number on this page: http://store.apple.com/au/help/print_products

Is it possible to put together and order an iPhoto book using my iPad?

Is it possible to put together and order a printed iPhoto book using my iPad

No. The iPhoto for iOS can edit photos and share them to social media sites like Facebook. But the app does not have the capability of creating photo books.

Iphoto is distorting RAW images from canon on mac mini

Good Afternoon,
Please could some one help with a problem that has started to occur with my RAW images which i have been trying to import from My Canon 700d
When importing to iphoto the pictures seem to distort and either as below go multi coloured or cut half the image off.
i have the latest firmware installed on my camera and have the canon utilities installed on my mac mini and have also tried transfering the images via cable and via a card reader.
the images appear fine on my mac book pro and on the camera
my memory card is also a class 10 30mbps

You could try to revert to the Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update, that came out in December.
For example, Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 5.07
or to RAW support 6.01. It helped in a similar case:
Re: Digital Camera Raw Compatibility 6.02 - Nikon D800
Any of the earlier raw support versions 5.01 or later should work, since your camera has been supported since Mavericks.
Make a backup of your system and try to downgrade the RAW support to version 6.01
To downgrade the RAW Support to the last version from before the last update try this:
To reinstall the 'RAW Compatibility Update' it is necessary to uninstall the currently installed raw support. Otherwise the installer will rightfully say, that you already have the latest version installed.
If your tests are showing that the problem happens also in a different user account, try this:
The RAW support files are installed in the System Library in the folder "/System/Library/CoreServices" Folder:
To open this folder, use the Finder's "Go" menu. Click the smiling Finder icon in the Dock to bring the Finder forward.
Then type the keyboard shortcut ⇧⌘G (for "Finder > Go > Go to folder") and copy and paste "/System/Library/CoreServices" into the text field. Click the "Go" button.
In the Finder window that will open, delete both the files "RawCamera.bundle" and "RawCameraSupport.bundle". You will have to enter your Administrator password. (don't empty the Trash, so you can put the files back, if need be)
Download the current RAW support update from Apple's Support Site:
Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01 http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1777?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
In the Downloads folder you will find the disk image with the installer. Double click it to open and run and the installer.
Then restart your Mac.

Using RAW images with CS6

Hi - im not sure if there is another forum that answers this question.
So far the only way I have been able to open up a RAW image in photoshop which then automatically launches camera RAW is by going to finder > iphoto > open package contents - to find the original file. Ive been told that can possible damage/corrupt yout image library. Is there another safe way to deal with RAW images? Right now iPhoto will open a raw image with photoshop the problem is it throws it over into PS and claims its a JPEG.
Maybe im just not as educated as I need to be with the Apple software.
Thanks in advance!

Set ACR as your preferred editor in iPhoto
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> Advanced -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor.
Then check the box underneath 'Use Raw when using external editor'
Now your Raw will be sent there.
But getting it back is a bit of a kludge
You cannot save a Raw. The work you do must be output to a new file, in a new format (jepg, tiff, whatever). However, as the External Editor is making this new file iPhoto has no knowledge of its existence. Therefore you must save it to the desktop and then import it back to iPhoto as a new file.
This means that you will have your Original Raw and the processed version in iPhoto but they will not be recognised as version and original. iPhoto will see them as two separate shots.

Indesign and an iphoto book. Pano images.

I have designed a layout in InDesign that works with my flushmount album company. I had a book printed by Apple and I knew it wouldn't be perfect but I actually lost whole people in the gutter of the book. What dimensions do I need to make a spread that includes panoramic images that seamlessly go across both pages of an iphoto book?

What version of iPhoto are you using? If it's iPhoto 11 then the themes now include a 2 page layout. For earlier versions of iPhoto figure on two 8.5" x 11" pages for a single image 22 x 8.5". This site has directions on creating such a 2 page layout: Creating a 2-page layout in iPhoto.

Photomerge produces white lines when using RAW (PEF) but not TIFF

I just started using PS CC (Mac, v14.1.2) and tried out Photomerge with a set of 40 (4 rows, 10 cols) raw images (Pentax PEF format), resulting in a 0.3 gigapixel image.
When I have them stitched by Photomerge, I see fine white lines at the merge points.
I had enabled all 3 options (blend images together, vignette removal, geometric distortion correction), using cylindrical layout.
When I first convert the PEFs to TIFFs and use Photomerge with the same options, there are no such white lines.
An example of the bad output:
These unwanted lines are, of course, at the edges where the images are getting joined.
Also, when using only a few images (2x2 or 3x3, or even 4x5), I do not get this effect.
I noticed that when using less images, the blend masks' edges are not straight - but they are when I see this issue. This suggests that at some point the merge operation gets overwhelmed and switches to a simpler algorithm, which in turn has this "bug" with RAW images, apparently.
Is this a known issue, and is there a way to get this working right with this many RAW/PEF images?

Sigh. How can Adobe charge so much money for their products and not even afford a team of people to look into bugs that users might want to report. Big companies suck.
Although you were probably looking for a standard developer-type bug report form, you still might want to take a closer look at that site. You'll see numbers next to the topics; those are user votes to help get something fixed sooner. While it's one thing to submit a bug report (and from this thread it seems they might already have it), Adobe uses that site to help prioritize which bugs to fix first, based on the user discussion and votes. Because Adobe has to decide not only whether a bug needs to be fixed sooner than other bugs, but sooner or later than certain feature requests. The user discussions and user votes on that site help them decide, although I'm sure there are other internal considerations.
In addition to votes, you'll see that posts on that site can be marked "Acknowledged" or "In Progress" by Adobe. The user votes and status reports are what make that site a little more quantifiable than this forum. Also, it isn't unusual to see Adobe developers and employees in the threads looking for more info or explaining things. So while it might not look like a traditional bug database, it's along those lines but in a way that makes it a little easier for non-technical users to participate in the process.

How can i order more copies of a iPhoto book using only the order number

how can i order more copies of an iPhoto book I made
by using only the order number
as I deleted by mistake a copy of it on my iphoto

I know the horse is out of the barn but this tutorial might be of help for future books: iP12 - Archiving an iPhoto 9 (11) Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date.
If you're starting over from scratch with a book I suggest you create a new library just for that book. Put the photos you want in the book in an album in your current library and use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to copy that album into the book library.
This will keep the book library small for easy saving to CD or DVD or to an EHD. If you delete photos from your full library it won't affect the book library.

How iPhoto handles Camera RAW images

Ok, so iPhoto can import Camera RAW files from supported cameras. But then what happens to them? This is what I think is happening when I edit imported Camera RAW files from my Canon Digital Rebel (not XT). If anyone has anything to add, I would appreciate it.
1. When first imported into iPhoto, the image is untouched and shows as "Canon Raw" with its original size (approx 7MB) in the information window.
2. If you have an external editor (like Photoshop Elements) setup, double clicking the photo causes iPhoto to create a new JPEG image with the same dimensions as the original and about 2.2MB in size. This JPEG image is what is opened in the external editor.
2a. The same thing happens if you edit inside iPhoto.
3. After editing a RAW image (i.e. creating a JPEG as above), the iPhoto library still shows the image name with .CRW, but the information window now says the format is "JPEG Image (from Canon Raw)" and the size is about 2MB. The edited JPEG image is what is shown in the iPhoto thumbnail.
4. If you now Share->Export the image, when "Original" is selected in the Format popup menu, the unedited RAW image is exported.
5. If you want to export the edited image, you need to select JPEG from the Format popup menu when you select Share->Export. Then your edited JPEG image will be exported.
6. If you drag the original unedited RAW image from the iPhoto library window to the Photoshop Elements icon in the dock, the Canon RAW image is opened in Photoshop Elements. In this case, iPhoto doesn't create the JPEG image first.
Did I miss anything?

I developed a neat workflow around iPhoto's RAW capabilities.
1. Import RAWs into iPhoto
2. Open Raws in Photoshop via dragging photos onto PS dock icon
3. Edit RAWs
4. Reduce to 8 bit
5. Save as JPEG in the folder where iPhoto stores the JPEGs derived from the RAWs, i.e. the parent folder of the 'Original' folder where the RAWs you just edited are stored, i.e. overwrite the JPEGs already present there.
6. Close the file in PS.
Now, combine 4, 5, and 6 into a PS-Aktion.
iPhoto recognises the JPEGS, but sometimes one has to click on them show the edited version. Somehow, iPhoto is still at first creating a preview from the RAW file and not recognising that there is an edited JPEG version (understandingly, since iPhoto can't remember it created edited JPEGs).

Why won't iPhoto import D700 RAW images?

Yesterday I tried to import 809 RAW (NEF) images from my Nikon D700 camera into the iPhoto program on a friend's iMac. It imported one image, but refused to import the remaining 808! I don't understand why it didn't accept the whole batch.
The iMac in question is a 20" Intel unit purchased new in 2006. The OS system has been upgraded to Leopard (version 10.5.8) and iPhoto to version 8.1.2. There's still plenty of available space (145 GB) on the hard drive.
Any ideas on what the problem might be and how to remedy it?
Bob

Larry,
Thanks for the reply.
I can confirm that D700 RAW images were downloadable to earlier versions of iPhoto than iPhoto '11.
Until January 2012 I had a 20" Intel iMac purchsed in 2007 that was very similar to that of my friend. It also had Leopard and iPhoto '09, and I was able to download D700 RAW images to it. In fact, one of the main reasons I upgraded that iMac from Tiger and iPhoto '06 to Leopard and iPhoto '09 was so that I could download D700 RAW images.
I now have a new 27" iMac with Lion and iPhoto '11 and have no problems downloading D700 RAW images.
I remain puzzled why the D700 RAW files--with the exception of one--wouldn't download to my friend's iMac.

Trying to order iPhoto Book using iPhoto 5 - HELP!

Having spent ages creating an iPhoto Book for my loved one for xmas, I couldn't order/purchase it! I have iPhoto version 5 (5.0.4) and message said I needed to upgrade to iLife (cost £69). Then some technician at local Apple Store told me I would also have to upgrade to Leopard in order to run iLife (cost £129) I currently run my iBook G4 on Mac OS X (10.4.11).
This is turning out to be a very expensive gift! Is this the only way to get my Book? I am worried if I purchase these (can't really afford it anyhow) that I will loose the Book I have created (will it still be there?)..also having problems with my laptop anyhow (wont stay charged - have it permanently plugged into electric socket....and memory seems to be an issue also!)
Any advice would be really welcome...I don't really understand what I should do!
Thanks

Thanks TD for this prompt response - which is much appreciated. I am a bit of a novice to say the least...so sorry if this is a silly question. Can I download iPhoto 06 or 08 via the internet or do I have to physically purchase a CD and install myself? Can't find Iphoto to buy on ebay and places like Amazon and Play.com seem to sell iLife software?
What do you think? Thanks

Using RAW images from Canon T3i in PSE 6

I have a new Canon T3i which is set to create both RAW CR2 files and jpegs. How can I open the RAW files in Photoshop Elements 6? I've searched the internet for two hours now and can find no answer which seems unambiguous, short of buying the latest and most expensive version of Photoshop. I'll readily admit that I'm a digital novice, but I have extensive experience in analogue photography and chemistry-based darkrooms. I love the images I've created with my T3i and processed in PSE 6 and Silver Efex Pro, but I'd like to get the next (RAW) level.
Bob Ingraham

Adobe has to update their software to support each camera, and they only update their current versions of each product when each camera comes out.
You can update to the current version of PSE, which is 9 and update the Camera RAW to the latest version to make sure it supports your camera, or you can convert your images to DNG using the latest version of the Adobe DNG Converter, and then open them in the older versions of Camera RAW like what comes with PSE 6.
Obviously you can also upgrade to Photoshop for big bucks or Lightroom for medium bucks. The adjustments available in the Camera RAW hosted by Elements aren't as extensive as those available in Lightroom or Photoshop, though, so you get what you pay for.

RAW Images and Photo Books

Anybody tried using RAW images to build a photo book? I shoot my pics in combined RAW/jpeg formats - the jpegs are low res, so I would prefer to use the higher quality RAW images in making my book. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

You can’t.
RAW is a total sensor dump from the camera. The only thing you can do is process your RAW into good quality jpegs (or tiff or whatever) and use those. You cant even Print a RAW.\
When you import a RAW to iPhoto the app automatically creates a JPEG preview of the File. That makes the whole RAW+jpeg shooting rather pointless.

Low budget image proofing for iPhoto book order

Hello!
I want to prepare my photos the best I can for iPhoto book ordering (Christmas present for family).
I have a Dell U2711 attached to a Mac Mini running OS X 10.6.8 and iPhoto '11 9.2.1. and a Canon Selphy CP520 dye sub printer which I thought to use as a precheck of what my JPG sRGB images would look like when printed in a book.
Here's my headache:
If I set up the monitor and calibrate the display profile as suggested in post #1 under this thread then such setup makes me color correct the photos by RADICALLY pushing the midtone slider in the levels adjustments to the left (brightening the picture). Prints that come out of the Selphy under this setup are a perfect match to what I see on the monitor and that is wonderful. However, I hesitate to order a book using such images because they appear far too bright on an iMac for example. (Perhaps I should mention that Google logo in Safari looks like its on steroids in this setup).
On the other hand, if I set up the monitor as it came from factory (PC gamma, standard preset), and use the default DELL U2711 display profile in SystemPreferences, then pictures look relatively ok on screen without any radical color correction. But prints that come out of Selphy with this setup don't match what is on the display, prints are too dark, and again I hesitate to order a book with such images.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Mato

Yes - don't try so hard and use your Mac and iPhoto - not a PC
iPhoto is designed as a consumre level program for point and shoot comeras - many people (including me) report excellent results using it that way - load sRGB photos form a digital camera and do minimal processing on them - never do major color adjustments - using iPhoto - preview rthe book -
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
and order
Apples comments on this are here
Of the negative comments posted here nearly all of them were from people who spend lots of time and energy adjusting photos trying to second guess the printing process and failing to do so - Apple does have an unconditional sastisfaction guarentee - do it the simple way - less is more in this case

IPhoto 6.0.6 and RAW images - compatible??

I've taken some RAW images with my Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3. I thought I had read somewhere that I would be able to import RAW images into iphoto 6, although it wouldn't be exactly straightforward, but now can't find the instructions. Can I do this? I have an imac G5 PowerPC.

Yes iPhoto works with Raw images from supported cameras. But no, not with yours.
The Raw format is specific to each camera model. The Raw produced by your LX3 is not the same as produced by any other camera - Lumix or not. Therefore support has to be added for each camera individually.
Let Apple know you want your camera supported: iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
Note: there is zero chance of v6 iPhoto being able to work with the LX3 Raws. It hasn't been updated since 2006, and I don;t see them adding features now.
