Resize a photo book

I just finished my first book, made with PSE8 for Mac. I realised (too late?) that I chose a size too big to be printed. Can I resize a book? How?
Thanks.

Thanks, I'll try and see if I can manage to resize "after". Rebuilding it from scratch would be painful, I did every page by myself.

  • Photo Books and Sharpening

    I'm unsure about how to approach sharpening of individual photos for my photo books. Here's the workflow I follow to print books at Shared Ink:
    Import RAW images into Lightroom 2.
    Color Correct/Sharpen images within the Develop Module
    Export RAW images as Tiffs at max res and import into an InDesign template created by me. Inside of InDesign I resize photos to the desired size.
    Create a PDF of the book and then convert PDFs to JPGS to be uploaded to Shared Ink. (They only accept JPGS from a program like InDesign.)
    Here are my questions:
    In step 3, when I export RAW images as Tiffs to place into InDesgin, what sort of Export Sharpening should I be using? LR has matte and Glossy, and then 3 strengths of sharpening. I generally print on matte paper so I know I could use matte.
    When I finally decide on the size of my images within InDesign, do I need to re-export each image from Lightroom at the correct size? I normally include 100s of images in my books and it would take quite a while to do this.
    Thanks, any advice is much appreciated!

    When I export from LR2 and apply sharpening, do you recommend exporting at the full size and then sizing down in InDesign? Or would you recommend saving each image at the correct size from LR2 at the outset?
    For the test, I would do a page or two each way.  I think you will find that you can't tell a material difference and thus you can quit thinking about how time consuming it would be (and it would be horrendous in my opinion).  So maybe your test is on 12x12 pages with a background image and three small images on top, one greater than original, one at original and one smaller than original.  Then make a separate page for the following samples:
    1.     Export the 4 images from LR with no output sharpening at original size.
    2.     Export the 4 images from LR with Matt, Standard output sharpening at original  size.
    3.     Export the 4 images from LR with Matt, Low output  sharpening at original  size.
    4.     Export the 4 images from LR with no output sharpening at approximately the sizes for the sample page (then use them at exactly the exported size).
    5.     Export the 4 images from LR with Matt,  Standard output sharpening at approximately the sizes for the sample page (then use them at exactly  the exported size).
    6.     Export the 4 images from LR with Matt, Low output  sharpening at approximately the sizes for the sample page (then use them at exactly  the exported size).
    This should give you a good idea as to whether output sharpening has a material impact on books printed from SharedInk.  It may not be a good test for other printing but that's OK.  The idea is to find out what is best for this particular book process for YOU.
    Keep me posted.

  • Photo Book - issue with generating full size picture in PDF file

    Need some assistance here.
    I have created a photo book that I would like to order. In the middle of the book I have 2 pages that contain a full size picture on each of the pages. When I generate the PDF file one of these two pictures do not generate correctly leaving an incorrectly rendered rectangle in the bottom left hand corner. 80% of the time it is on of the 2 large 8x10 pictures, the other 20% it is the other 8x10 picture. Aperture does indicate the dpi is large enough to support a quality 8x10 photo.
    I have exported jpeg files for each of these pictures and there were no problems. I am not sure by I have this problem in creating the PDF. Does any one see a potential issue with the book? When I order the photo book is it done through he PDF file or are the pictures sent in?
    Because of the issue I am cautious to order the Photo Book, but would like to do so.
    Any thought or feedback? Is this something that will come through as problem with the photo book as well?
    Thanks

    Hi ejg999,
    I have a similar problem running 10.5.2/ Aperture 2.0 trial.
    My 15800*4700 pixel (19.8mb) panorama was completely screwed up when printing the book to PDF. I did not span the pict over 2 pages as the center part would not be visible in the book's fold. I created 2 full size pages, resized the frames and adjusted their position.
    The print just shows hundreds of small squares, some seem ok, some are blue, some are rendered partially. Totally unusable.
    The physical memory was not the problem as I had at least 500mb free during the printing operation.
    I printed the book twice: same problem. I thought shutting down Aperture would resolve the error. but all my pics were gone. And the Time Machine did not backup while Aperture was running (still a bug). Aaaaaarghhhh.
    I managed to restore my work. I will try to create a smaller copy of the panorama and try to print.
    BTW, what is the size of your photo creating the problems?
    regards

  • Resolution & "save as" ?  for online photo book

    I am making an online photo book through Snapfish. When I am done editing my images using Elements, I go to resize and make it about a 4X6 size with a dpi of 200 or so and "save as" a Jpeg. When I go to Snapfish to put my album together, I sometimes get an error messages as I try to place an image into one of the slots in the photobook. It cautions that the image has low resolution and will not produce a good image when printed. Should I avoid making the image smaller, or should I leave it as is? Should I be saving to Jpeg format? What process do you use when resizing and saving for this situation or any print you're having made? Thanks.

    Snapfish recommends a minimum of 1639 X 1233 pixels. I think I've made the mistake of downsizing my images to 4X6 instead of leaving them the original size. I know if I email I have to make the image smaller and also lower the ppi to 72. When you are editing an image to print to a standard 4X6, do you change the size of the image or leave it as is with a high resolution of 250 or more? Can I go back once an image has been reduced and try to make it larger? Or, will the image never return to the quality it once was?

  • Photo book - can't edit pages

    I recently upgraded to iphoto '11 so that I could make use of the photo book feature.  I can create a photo book with no problems, but once it's created, I can't click on any photos within the photo book to change them around, I can't resize the photos or zoom in and out.  I can't even add text to the pages.  It's as though when I'm clicking the page it doesn't recognise that I'm clicking it. Does anybody know what has happened and how to resolve the issue? 
    All the best
    Helen

    Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos, create a book and check to see if the same problem persists. If it doesn't then your current library is the culprit.
    In that case make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Creating a photo book

    Hi,
    I have just signed up for CC photographers version, on the promise that it would be much better than upgrading my current PS Elements.
    The main question I asked first was could I create phonebooks in A4. I was assured that this would be possible, but I can find no way of creating photo books!!
    Am I missing something or have I been mis-sold?
    Thank you for your help.

    Create and Save your Photobook using PSE. Customize it with all the eiting and placment required on your book in PSE Editor
    Close the photobook after you are done.
    Now go to the location, where you saved the book.
    There will be a folder with the same name as the Photo book
    It has several .psd files for all the pages of the book you created.
    We can convert them to Jpegs/ Tiffs/PNGs( what all formats are supported in the Printing Service website you are using)
    To do this:
    Open them all in PSE Editor
    Go to Files >  process Multiple files
    Specify the "Files From" as Opened Files
    Browse or enter the path for the output for the files,(Destination)
    Uncheck the check boxes for "Rename" and "Resize"
    Select File type and select the preferred File format type.
    and Click OK
    All these pages wil be saved to the destination folder, converted to the selected format. Now upload these files as it is to the website and arrange them to the pages of the book of the service you want to use.
    Hope this helps.

  • Color of dust jacket in photo book

    can i change color of dust jacket in photo book using aperture. its default is white but i would like it black.
    thanks
    pauline ottawa

    The color of the dust jacket depend on the theme you are using. Some themes let you select the color of the dust jacket and the background of the images.
    With "Art Collection" the only background available is white, but with the "Modern Lines" theme you can make the dust jacket black, like this:
    Select the front cover page, switch to "Edit Layout", and select the background color.
    If you need to use theme that does not allow to set the background color, you could try to add a photos box to the cover, drag the resize handle to make it fill the front page and set the border to a large value. Make the border black, then send this photos box to the background behind the title text and the title image. Do the same for the backside page of the dust jacket.

  • Is there any way to modify the photo book size after I have created the book?

    I created a photo book then realized it was not the correct size. Is there a way to correct the size or do I have to start from scratch?
    I Found the answer after I posted this- CTRL D to duplicate, then choose new theme - Worked like a charm.

    Yes.  First click on the book in the Projects section and type Command +D (duplicate).  Open the book, click on Change Themes and in the next window select the size and type you want.
    The duplicate is to have in case you find any text that was removed in the resizing.  You can cut and past from the duplicate copy to the original.  Also verify that the resized book has all of its text, not text warning indicators and that all photos are there and in the correct order.
    Always create a PDF version of the book according to this Apple doucment, iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture, to check for any errors, i.e. typos, missing text, etc., before ordering the book.  Keep the pdf file to compare with the printed version when it arrives.
    Opps!  Answered your question from the title without reading the full body of your post. However, the last 2 paragraphs are worth reviewing.

  • THE MOST I NEED!  PHOTO BOOK AND DVD

    as wedding phootographer the most i need
    1. creating photo books. software like this : http://www.yervant.com.au/
    that i can set the page size and drag and drop photos to photo book template. that i can resize, crop, move, write text on photo book page. then export photo book pages to pdf or jpg to send them to printer or local book printers
    2. slideshow export to DVD !!! like http://www.photodex.com/products/producer
    that i can create slideshow with DVD menu and export it to iso or burn to DVD. that people can see all pictures in DVD player on TV

    I also asked for something like that related to the print module, though in different terms but leading to the same end, a more powerful, more customizable, print module.
    And, by the way... this module, without soft proofing (and editing in soft proofing mode) is almost pointless.

  • How can i print just one page of photo book without printing the entire book

    how can i print just one page of photo book without printing the entire book

    Jim,
    Take heart.  We can help.
    First turn on page view so you can see how the content of your sheet fits on the page(s).  A Numbers document contains sheets (listed on the left) which in turn contain tables, charts, text, and graphics.  Select the sheet you want to print on the left, then enable page view by selecting the menu item:
    "View > Show Print View":
    Now you should see your content and how it fits on one, or more, pages.  If thie content is too big for one page use the controls and the bottom left of the window to expose the sheet controls:
    Here a table is too big to fit on one page:
    slide the "Content Scale" slider so the content fits:

  • Photo book shipped to wrong address...

    Hi All: I recently ordered 2 photo books through iPhoto, cost about $120, but they were shipped to the wrong address. I live in NY and they were sent to CA. I called FedEX to complain, but it turns out that Apple put the wrong address on the package. Has anyone else had/heard-of this happening? I'm now waiting for my email from iPhoto support to hear how they will fix this problem, but was curious as to whether or not other occurrences were easily and quickly rectified. Thanks for any info.
    -Dave

    Dave:
    Report that to Apple at http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto/customerservice/orderbooks/. They have been very good at correcting problems like that.
    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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Page numbers in a photo book / keepsake

    Can anyone tell me how i can get page numbers to display in a photo book? In the help section it says that i can go to settings and turn this function on, however, I don't have that option in there. I need it to make a slideshow preview for others involved to review pages and make suggestions to layouts. They need to be able to quote the page number that needs adjusting.

    The page number setting it the bottom check box in the settings menu - if it is checked and you do not have page numbers displayed on your pages then they are not available with the theme/layout you have chosen
    See Liz Castro's web page for samples of each theme and the layouts for each theme - http://www.lizcastro.com/iphotobookthemes/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Travel - I'm not sure she specifically addresses page numbers

  • My iPad isn't syncing properly - It says it is syncing but then none of my new music, photos, books, or podcasts have been added!

    This is getting really annoying as syncing my iPad 1 now take forever. It says it is syncing and goes through all the motions, and it does sync my apps,
    but none of my musi, photos, books or podcasts, even though it's only half full so it has plenty of space. What I do at the moment is use "autofill" to add the music and podcasts and then I drag the new books from my iTunes library to my iPad in Itunes (I have a PC, by the way), but I still haven't found a slution for my photos - at present it's supposed to add all the photos in one of my folders on the computer, but it hasn't added the new ones in a long while.
    I suspect this might have started when I added iOS 5, but I'm not 100% sure. Another thing I had lots of difficulty with earlier is that the music I synced was all greyed out and couldn't be played, but I solved that by choosing "manually manage music and videos" in Options. This might be why it's not syncing properly, but last time I tried reverting that it just greyed out my music again! What do I do?
    Oh, one last thing - the music and books I'm adding at the moment aren't purchased from the Itunes stores, if that helps. Just the podcasts, and they seem to eventually add themselves after the sync.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

  • IPhoto 7.1.5 on 10.6.8 Trying to Buy a Photo book

    Hi,
    I have been reading other discussion threads and I can't find exactly my question. I have iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5 on Mac OS X version 10.6.8. Everything was fine until I got the iPhone 5 and needed to update iTunes. I found I needed to update to at least Snow Leopard, so I did that and figured everything was fine now. That was until I made a photo book and tried to purchase it. Unfortunately, I got the following error message: We apologize for the inconvenience, but the ability to order books, cards, calendars and prints is no longer supported in iPhoto 7. Please upgrade to a newer version of iPhoto to order these products.
    So, I have read a few posts that say I need to buy iLife, but I would never use any of the apps except iPhoto, so I would like to save myself the money of buying things I won't need. I also did a search and it looks like I can download a bunch of updates here: http://support.apple.com/downloads#iphoto
    My question is, can I go update by update on this site without ruining my current iphoto events and projects? I have about 15,00 items in 243 events and I would hate for them all to get ruined.
    Thank you so much for any help! I am desperate and would love my photo book.

    It isn't possible to get a version of iPhoto which is new enough just through the downloadable updaters. You need to either buy an iLife DVD or upgrade the computer to Mavericks and get the Mac App Store version.

  • Follow up on photo book quetion

    --When I then try to use these smaller photos in the photo book, I get the yellow warning that the photo "may print at too low quality". This is what concerns me.

    Hello Shelly,
    That behavior is described in the iPhoto help menu here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/8.0/en/6314.html.
    Review that link and it's suggestions as they may be of some assistance.
    Basically that warning means the image you are using is low resolution. You really should not get that warning unless you are using relatively small images (like imports from a web site). Images imported from a camera should not give you that warning unless you have edited them (like cropping).
    Hope that helps.
