Quality of photo when creating a photo book from iphoto

i am in the process of creating a photo book however i am downloading pictures from facebook and i am not sure if the qulaity will be good enough for print, will i be told during this process as i havent been yet and dont want to pay for something that isnt right. thanks

There is another potential issue. While you may have enough pixels, the plain fact is that not all pixels are the same. When a photo is uploaded to Facebook they 'process' it - and in the course of that throw away about 90% of the data in the file. What that means is that a lot of the character and depth of the photo may be lost when printed. Unfortunately, this is not something that iPhoto can warn you about.

  • HT1040 trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.

    trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.
    if i clear the book so that it is all blanks and then try to load in the pictures i have it loses the chronology of the pictures that i had established in the album.
    is there a way to import photos into an ibook template and keep the original order of the photos without having to do them one at a time?
    also, is there a way to insert a photo rather than just dragging it? i have tried the cut and paste funciton but it doesn't seem to work, the target site doesn't seem to register with iphoto.
    many thanks for your help.

    Photos are added to book in chronological order.  So if you want to add them to a book in the order you have placed them manually in an album do the following:
    1 - select all the photos in the album.
    2 - use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option as shown here. Select any date and add 1 minute between photos.
    3 - select just one photo from the album and create a book from it.
    4 - in the book click on the Options button ➙ Book Settings button and make sure the checkbox for Auto-layout pages is unchecked.
    5 - drag the album with your book photos onto the book icon and they will be imported into the Photos tray of the book in your pre-determined order but not into the pages themselves.

  • No themes available when creating a new book in iPhoto 08

    I cannot create a new Book in iPhoto 08 version 7.1.5 (378).
    When the dialog opens, the Book Type ComboBox is empty. If I press the Choose button, a new error dialog appears with the message: "No Available Themes".

    Look in your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If you find it there move it to the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder and reboot. Then try iPhoto again. That may save you having to go thru the reinstallation.

  • What is the ideal resolution for photos when creating a photo book in iphoto?

    Can you tell me what is the ideal resolution for photos I use to create a photo book from my iphoto library? 

    The DPI depends on the size of the image to be printed by the image file.  A 639 x 960 image could print a 3.5  x  5 photo at 180 DPI.  This website explains it further: The Myth of DPI.  
    So use the smaller photos only in the smaller frames on multiple photo layouts for best results.

  • I am creating an aperture book from my photos. How do I change the default map provided in the theme to one of my choice e.g. satellite view?

    I am creating an aperture book from my photos. How do I change the default map provided in the theme to one of my choice e.g. satellite view?

    Kyle,
    Thanks for your response. To be clear, the way I am importing the PDF is by going to New in LiveCycle, and selecting Import a PDF document, and selecting Create and Interactive Form with Fixed Pages.
    I cannot change the forms or pages, as they are created by our local Board. In otherwords, I have tryed used the flowable content, and upon import, not only are the fonts slightly different, but all the important artwork (trade-related) is gone, and is not in the exact positions it was in. The forms must meet the standards to which they were approved by the regional board, and there are state-mandated forms as well.
    What surprises me is that you say this method of Fixed Content isn't used much any more. I would think that a lot of people would have PDF files they would wish to make into fillable, interactive forms without needing to reconstruct the entire document. Perhaps a company that has always done things on paper, and now wishes to use those exact same forms on the computer, with no deviations to looks so they can be printed and match up perfectly.
    I thought about using Acrobat's internal form creation system. However, some of these forms have sophisticated options and the calculation scripts and systems within LiveCycle are very useful. Not to mention that it has a much larger scalability, should we chose to utilize it.
    Any other suggestions? I am so confused why Adobe would force medium-quality import of a PDF, but be so incredibly flexible about every other option in their program.

  • My computer freezes up when trying to upload photo book from iPhoto '11. This happens during the upload process.

    My computer freezes up when trying to upload photo book from iPhoto '11. This happens during the upload process.
    When this happens I need to close down the computer and restart.
    Any ideas ?
    I've got Mountain Lion running.
    I'm on a 13" white MacBook with 8GB RAM installed.
    I recently had a 1 TB hard disc installed at the Apple store.

    can you preview it? -
    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.
    If that works fine and you still have problems boot into safe mode and try again

  • Font color wont change when creating a proof book

    I have never had any problems changing the font color when creating my proof books and all the sudden I can only get black text. Can anyone help I am in the middle of designing a baby book and
    the design calls for pink and grey text not black.. If I am not mistaken I think I just did an update a week are so ago when the trouble began. Thanks Wezzy

    The photos is the book tray are sorted by date.  So to get them in the order you want you need to do this;
    1 - group them in an album and manually sort in the order you want.
    2 - select all and go to the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option.
    3 - select a 1 minute time differential between photos and click OK.
    4- add the photos to a book and they will be in the order you need.

  • HT3412 When creating a hardcover book, is the flap paper or printed on the cover and inside the book?

    When creating a hardcover book, is the flap paper of printed on the cover and inside the cover?

    No. The book jacket is spearate from the rest of the book and inludes the photos and text boxes that you select in iPhoto.  There are no photos or text printed on the hard cover, outside or inside.  It's just like book jackets on commercial hard cover books.

  • Alternative to Photo books from iPhoto?

    Hello, I'm very enthusiastic about printed photo book idea, but some iLife features, including Photo Books from iPhoto, are unavailable for my country. I'd be glad if you suggested any other online services which could ship to Europe, Lithuania.
    Thank you in advance .

    My Publisher. com. A great site and they also have a mac plugin to work right from within I-Photo. Or their new software is for mac now as well. Tons of designs including leather bound. And they always send coupons for 40-50 % off. Great quality. I have also finished An Asuka book, but that is for professional Photographers only.

  • I have just ordered a photo book from iPhoto, do I not get an email confirmation?

    I have just ordered a photo book from iPhoto but after it generates nothing happens, has it sent? Do I not get an email confirmation?

    I solved the problem. Had nothing to do with Mac or iphoto. Problem must be my the internet connection to my provider.
    Upload at my office worked without any problem. One problem solved, now i am aware with a lot of discussions with my providers helpdesk  ;-)

  • Can I label each batch of photos when adding to PHOTOS?

    I hate PHOTOS already. I can't seem to find a way to label each batch of photos when uploading to PHOTOS as I did in iPhoto. Is there any way to do this? I might want to search for a group of photos like "The Smith Wedding" if I were a professional photographer and don't remember the date . It was simple in iPhoto. How do I do it in PHOTOS where it seems everything is organized by date only ??? Darn few preferences for me to tweak in this app. I'll send feedback to Apple if there is no way to do this.

    Your answer was patronizingly obvious, and not at all helpful. I am just disturbed that Apple has removed a simple, obvious function. As a Mac owner since 1984 I can tell you that simple, obvious function has always been and should continue to be the hallmark of the Mac OS. I wanted to be sure that simple functionality is really gone before I send a feedback to Apple. BTW Totoff answered the question but it's still a clunky and not obvious function.

  • Terms to be agreed when creating a Paid Books Account and submitting an iBook to the iBookstore

    Hi there everyone
    I'm advising a client on the range of terms to be agreed when its creates an iBook using iBooks Author and then submits the iBook for publication on the iBookstore (using a Paid Books Account, not a Free Books Account).
    From what I can glean from various sources, it seems the client needs to agree to:
    the iBooks Author 2.0 License Agreement, when downloading the iBooks Author app from the AppStore;
    the eBook Agency/Commissionaire Distribution Agreement (when creating a Paid Books Account through iTunes Connect); and
    the iTunes Connect Terms of Service when downloading iTunes Producer (the separate app through which one publishes an iBook to the iBookStore).
    There are two things I'm not sure about though. The reason for my lack of certainty is that I don't have a US Tax ID and so cannot replicate the Paid Books Account sign-up process to the stage where I'd have to agree to the various terms and conditions. My  questions, please, are:
    Am I correct in thinking that a person is required, when creating a Paid Books Account through iTunes Connect, to agree to the "eBook Agency/Commissionaire Distribution Agreement"?
    If so, can anyone email me please ([email protected]) or provide a link to the latest version of the eBook Agency/Commissionaire Distribution Agreement? (I've seen a version online (http://outskirtspress.com/iBookStore_v3.pdf) but don't know whether it's the latest version; I'm thinking it's probably not).
    When signing up for a Paid Books Account, is one also required to agree to the "PHG Terms and Conditions" and the "Publisher Program Terms and Conditions" that are attached to them, or is that optional?
    Many thanks for any help. Much appreciated.
    Kind regards
    Richard
