Rotate photo frames on a page

hi all
im not sure if this is possible, but my problem is, when i have a landscape photoframe on a page (any template, iphoto 08) and i drop a photo that has been taken in portrait, the frame automatically adjusts.
this is cool for most cases, but sometimes i'd like to keep the photo frame landscape and just have the photo 'cropped' in the frame.
is there any way to 'lock' photo frames to not adjust to the orientation of the photo?
thanks!
Sammy

Sammy:
I've not hear of any way to lock a frame so the photo gets cropped from landscape to portrait. You'll have to do the cropping in iPhoto to make it a portrait oriented image.
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 created 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 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.

  • I've created a photo book in iPhoto on my iPad.  When I go to order it, it says that "Your Book contains Empty Photo Frames" but when I check each page, they all have photos.  How to I order the book?

    I've created a photo book in iphoto on my ipad.  When I try to order it (by clicking the price of the book in the top right corner) it says that Your book contains empty photo frames - add photos to the empty frames, or change the page layout to include fewer photos" but when I look at each page, there are photos in all the frames.  What do I need to do to order this book??????
    Thanks so much for any help offered!

    It doesn't appear under the iPad device on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes, you need to select the iPad device on the sidebar and then select the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes e.g.

  • Rotating Photo on Photo iWeb Template Page

    I have selected a photo that I'd like to ROTATE on an iWeb Photo Template page.
    Go to the "ruler" in the Inspector.
    The Rotate wheel is not operational, nor is the ability to Add a New Value, nor is the "handle" on the photo as the Help menu also suggests will happen.
    Suggestions?

    Unfortunately, there isn't a way to rotate photos on the Photo Template page. Strange, isn't it? Hopefully this is something else that will be changed in iWeb 2.0. Haha.
    Anyhow, you have to have your photos oriented the right direction before bringing them into iWeb. And sometimes when the photo has been rotated inside iPhoto, the orientation property will not "stick" and the photo will be turned the wrong way when brought into iWeb. Try this....drag the photo that you are using from iPhoto to the desktop. Then open it with Preview and then "Save" it or do a "Save As." Then drag it into iWeb.
    I don't think you'll have to do this with every photo you want turned...just the pesky ones that don't keep their orientation. It's a bug of sorts with iPhoto and the Media Browser....and it would all be fixed if Apple would just let us rotate the photos in iWeb!
    Best of luck!

  • We are just about to purchase an iphoto book but received the message that we had one or more empty photo frames. We have gone over each page several times and found no empty frames. We cannot purchase the book because we cannot get beyond this message.

    You can't.
    You can do it in Find/Change box. Set desired Frame Fitting Options in Object section and run find/change.

  • Having trouble connecting Ipod to a digital photo frame

    According to the photo frame manual, I follow the directions on page 7 to listen to my music - I did that. It tells me the file format has to be wma or mp3. I assume they are.
    I've plugged ipod Nano into its USB cable and the USB cable into the frame in the correct location. Once the cable is connected, it lets me choose the option to hear my music, but none of the music on my ipod is showing up on the screeen. Frame says "no music in current deviced" (it thinks the ipod is blank, but I know it isn't).
    When it's plugged into the frame it says on the ipod screen that it's "connected - eject before disconnecting" like it does when it's hooked to the laptop. It won't let me select music on the actul ipod when it's plugged into the frame.
    I've emailed technical support at SmartParts for the Sync Pix photo frame, but I don't know how much help they will be.
    I'm truly stumped, and I'm sure my random explanations are probably not helping. ;(
    Thank You!

    Good day Chakari. The photo frame supports images compatible with the Design rule for Camera File system (DCF)format. If the original images are not compatible with the DCF format, convert them to the DCF format before or after copying. The following are the DCF standards.
    Image file names must be named DSCxxxxx.JPG , where the x represents a numerical digit.
    Image files must be stored on the media in the DCF file structure
    Its important to know, the DCF file structure requires a folder named DCIM on the media. Inside the DCIM folder should be a folder named 100MSDCF or 101MSDCF . The image files must be stored in one of these two folders.

    Control (right) - click on the photo in the frame and select Fit to Frame Size in the contextual menu.

  • Can I Adjust the Photo Frames in a Book Theme?

    I am trying to do my first book. I have tried several themes and like Story Book one the best. I am telling a story. The photos are displayed is a form that isn't linear and draws the eye to them.
    My problems are:
    Several of the page layouts slide the corner of the frame off the page. I would like to drag the the frame down a bit so the entire photo is on the page. How can I do that?
    Several of the frames are smaller than I would like. How can I increase the frame size?

    Hi ghein,
    From playing with it as far as I can see you cannot alter the size or position of the frames. You can however send the frame to the back or the front by control clicking on the image in the frame and scrolling to "move to front" or "send to back"

  • Center images within a photo frame

    I saw a friend's site where it used a pre-bought package. It
    had nice photo frames and a sutle drop shadow.
    The site I'm working on has a lot of photos and I would like
    to set them off this way.
    What I did was make the frame with a drop. Drop shadow isn't
    looking good even though I did a .png Anyway, I made the frame the
    background image-ok. Now I want to center the photo within the
    frame. The photo info is in the page as the owner wants to change
    it. Its a <img> tag. I tried doing a align center in the
    <img> but that didn't do it.
    Somehow that program did it. I believe it was done with CSS.
    Anyone know?

    Thats a complex piece of positioning using css. I'm pretty
    sure youre
    not going down that route as it would be beyond your
    capabilities given
    what you have said to date.
    So I would forget that and show us the code you are using to
    create YOUR
    version of this. This effect can be achieved with a lot less
    complexity
    than the example you provide above.
    Below is an example. You'd need to know something about css
    to
    understand it. Basically you would create a <div>
    container and use a
    background image for the drop shadow, then insert the main
    image within
    the container, style and position it with css.
    At the moment in the example below the image appears to be
    off-centre
    but when the drop shadow background image is added it will be
    centered
    in the <div>

  • Images not re-sizing to fit photo frames

    When I insert images onto my keynote pages they do not re-size to fit the photo frame. I cannot find an option to make them fit . Also, unlike the text boxes, I cannot alter the photo frame.
    I am using iWork v3.0.2 that I bought with an older mac. I have upgraded my mac and am now on My OSX is 10.5.8
    Do I need to upgrade iWork to make this work?

    Hi cakeboy,
    Sorry to learn that you're having trouble re-sizing your pics for Keynote.
    Firstly, I would suggest up-grading to at least iWork '08.
    Secondly, try using http://img243.imageshack.us/content.php?page=done&l=img243/4979/picture1fv.png&v ia=mupload which will re-size images to suit various applications.
    If you click on the 'Slide size' bar, this should allow you to open a slide page that best suits the size of slide you wish to install. If your slides are large, then I would suggest 1920 x 1080 (pixels)
    Hope this helps.
