Red hue to iPhoto 08 prints?

I just recently upgraded my MacPro's iPhoto to the new 08 version. All my images are shot with a Canon 20D and printed on a Canon i960. Since the upgrade, all the photographs that I print from iPhoto on photo paper (Canon's plus glossy) have a major red hue to them. This only occurs when I set the computer to print to the photo paper. For regular plain paper the colors are fine. Is there a way to adjust the color profile for only the Photo Paper Plus Glossy setting?
This error still occurs after the 10/25/2007 update for iPhoto and I am running the most up to date drivers for the printer.

Have you done a nozzle check to see that all your colours print ok.
I can't remember off hand how many colours the i960 has, but if you have Photo Cyan/Magenta they get used for photo papers, but not for plain paper.
If nozzle check is ok, try exporting the photo and printing from Preview or something to see if it's an iPhoto glitch.
Canon's EasyPhotoPrint is very good for quick JPG printing - download it if you don't have it, as it makes all the necessary settings without the printer dialogue.

The printer enhances the red hue. how can i fix it?

I have an 8600 Pro all in One. When printing colored photos it seem to enhance the red hue. I have printed the same photo on other printers and the pix come out fine. Is there any fix?

Printing issue (slight red hue)

I have an older printer, a canon i960. Prints great photos, but they all have a very very slight red hue to them that is noticeable predominantly in the skin tones. Blues, for example, look fine. This happens no matter what application I print from. I set the printer for colorsync profile, but it seems to do it also when I used the printer profile as well. I can do color correction in the printer settings: cyan, magenta, yellow and black. Reducing the magenta by about 5% has no effect and might even be worse. Rather than correcting each photo in photoshop to compensate for the printer, anyone have any suggestions?

Since you've tried printing in different applications, this lets us know it isn't just iphoto having a problem. I would narrow it down to the printer. Definitely check the ink levels and if those are fine, I'd consider contacting the manufacturer of your printer. Seems like you've tried a lot of good troubleshooting steps already.

HP 6940 suddenly printing with lines and red hue

Hello,
I was printing photos tonight with my 6940 and suddenly the photos started coming out with the first half (left sides) printed correctly, and the right half has a red hue and striated lines. I thought the black cartridge might be out, so I replaced it and the photos are coming out the same. I've just replaced the color cartridge a few weeks ago, so it is not empty. Any suggestions?
I tried printing 5 photos, and all came out the same way - left side is printed correctly, right side is ruined.
Right-click here and choose "Save As" to download a high res photo of the photos as they are coming out of the printer.

Hi CrazySaguaro,
It appears as if your colour cartridge is out of ink. If this is the case you should be able to see this in your ink gauge through the driver tool box.
Here is steps how to check this

I am a Canadian staying in England for a few weeks. How can I get an iPhoto Book printed win England and sent as a gift to an English relative? With my account, it seems that Apple only allows for my book to be printed in Canada.

in the iPhoto preferences change the print products country to the UK and give it a try - there may be some restirctions on billing but it has worked for some people

I have created a family recipe book in iBooks - can I print it using iPhoto's print service?

I have created a family recipe book in iBooks - can I print it using iPhoto's print service? I don't want to print it on our home printer - I want to print multiple copies for family members through the Apple iPhoto book printing service. Can anyone help me please?

There is no Apple print service for iBooks, and iPhoto can also only print photo books created in iPhoto.
Print your iBook to pdf. Then you have several option:
Save the pdf to a thumbsdrive/stick and take it to the nearest print shop close to your home.
Search online for "self publishing" services available in your country.
Recreate your book as an iPhoto Book. This will be a lot of work, since iPhoto's templates are more suitable for Picture books than books with lots of formatted text. To speed things up, you could use "Preview" to export the pages of your book as jpegs (high quality, at least 300 dpi) and add themas full-page photos to a new PhotoBook. This can be sent to apple for printing.
But the first two options would be much less trouble and probably be less expensive.

IPhoto not printing

since updating to 7.1.3 iPhoto - cannot print. I get a message saying: "There were no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed, this feature will be unavailable."
In Application Support I have the iPhoto themes. Don't know what to do.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Restoring iPhoto Themes
First 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 process described below:
1 - delete the current application.
2 - delete any files with iPhoto in the file name that reside in your HD/Library/Receipts folder.
3 - delete the Themes folder from your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder. Also look in the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If there is one there then delete it also.
5 - boot into the system disk that came with your computer and do a custom install selecting only iPhoto.
After installing reinstall the iPhoto 7.1.1 updater again followed by a repair of disk permissions with Disk Utility. Also make sure you're running the latest Quicktime, 7.3.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Strange RED HIGHLIGHTS appears in my print documents

Strange RED HIGHLIGHTS appears in my print documents, but in the preview dont been showed, whats happens.

Eliezer...go to the Print dialog box and click on the Advanced button on the bottom left of the dialog. When the Advanced window comes up go to the lower left corner and put a check in the Print As Image box. Then click OK and then try printing. This is a print driver issue and hopefully checking the Print as Image box will let you print without the red highlights. Good Luck!

How can I get iPhoto to print date on photo?

is it possible to get iphoto to print the date on a photo?

No.
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> 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, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

Editing Red Eye in iPhoto '08

I read a useful hint in Macworld Nov 06 for editing red eye in iPhoto '06, which gave one the option of the degree of intensity in the color change. I do not seem to be able to do with iPhoto '08. Does anyone know if the old work-around is still workable in '08?
Geraldine

No. The only control over the red eye correction in iPhoto 08 is the size of the spot used. That would be a good feature request to make at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html

Can a calendar from iphoto be printed anywhere?

Can a calendar from iphoto be printed in another region than where the account is set up? I am in Switzerland and would like to get my calendar to the States for Christmas. There must be a way to print it in the States and have it delivered directly.

Sorry, no.
The billing address and shipping address must be in the same country, the country you are setting in the iPhoto Preferences > Advanced > Print products Store.

IPhoto card printing on 4 fold paper

I ran out of single fold paper and found a way to use iPhoto card themes to print on 4 fold paper. If anyone has an easier way, please let me know. Otherwise, the following steps worked for me (so I didn't have to go out in this rain to buy single fold paper.)
Creating iPhoto card to print on 4 fold paper.
In iPhoto, select picture(s), and select card theme.
In iPhoto, select print, and then PDF and save to desktop.
Click on desktop saved image and Adobe will show card.
Take 2 screenshots of card's outside and inside.
Import screenshots into iPhoto and then rotate the pics so they are upside down.
Drag both pics to desktop.
Click on one of the pics to bring up Preview.
After selecting print, use or create 4fold custom paper size for 8.5 x 5.5.
Check the Preview margins and adjust (request use full size of paper.)
Insert 4 fold paper with right side down and print the first side by side image up side down.
Turn paper around and reinsert into printer so that second upside down image prints on same side of paper.
Let dry and fold paper into a card.

Here's an easier way to get those screenshots of the front and back of the card into iPhoto.
Start a Print process, click on the PDF button and select the "*Save PDF to iPhoto*" menu option. This creates a 200 dpi jpeg file of each side of the card.

I have a distinct red hue on my ipad 2... it seems to be red where it should be black.

I woke up this morning and my iPad 2 now has a red hue. It seems that everywhere that it should be black on the screen, it's red, but the overall contrast is jacked as well. Any ideas what may have caused this or if it is covered for an exchange with Apple?

Do you use iCloud? If so, go to http://www.icloud.com and log in.
Then open the Calendars app from there, and click the cogwheel in the upper right. Go to Preferences > Advanced and turn off "Enable Time Zone Support".
Hopefully that will end your tie to the time zone support for your reminders.

IPhoto 6 printing issue!

How do I print four 6x4 prints on an A4 photo paper? not the same photo four times but different prints!
I tried all available methods,but no joy.
This is the first time I used iPhoto for printing.
I normally use my PC with Epson printer software and with that you can print your photo at any given point on the paper. I am sure it will be possible with iPhoto as well. I shall be grateful for help.
Shafiq

Dear Sir, your answer was indeed helpful and I did not want to be churlish to say otherwise. However, it was my fault that I did not pose the question in clear terms.
The question really was the ability of the iphoto 6 to print different photos on one A4 size, well within the physical limits of the paper.I have not found a way to print different photos to cover the surface of the same A4 surface. As using other software e.g. Epson you can decide the place on the paper where you would like to print the photo.
Is it possible with iPhoto?

Screen has a red hue (iPad1)

Hello.
I've got a noticable red hue on the screen of my iPad1. It is clearly visible (even more when there's another ipad side by side) and it drives me mad.
Is this a well known issue and am I eligible for an exchange? I saw a few people reporting a red hue months ago and they all had their iPad exchanged in Apple Stores.
Unfortunatly, there are no official Apple Stores in Belgium, so I may have to send it to the repair service for days before getting an answer.

Hi,
If you haven't tried the Apple online Brussels/Belgium store, click here.
