Sharing I Photo books

I recently completed a family reunion IPhoto book and would like to share it online. Is there a way to send it via email to others in my family so they can decide if they want to purchase it? Thanks.

You may be able to reduce the size of that pdf using Preview or an app like pdfShrink

  • Sharing a photo book project with family members

    I created and purchased a photo book in iPhoto and I'd like to share with my family members so they can also buy the book.  Is that possible?

    You could reduce a copy of your library to just those photos in the book  with the book and send that smaller library. This tutorial describes how: #9 - Archiving an iPhoto 7(08)/8(09)/9(11) Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date.

  • Can a photo book created in i photo be saved in pdf format or shared online with a customer before printing?

    Can a photo book created in i photo be saved as a pdf or shared online in any way with a customer before printing?

    Sure - once you make a PDF you can e-mail or share it as you want - although they can be large so you need a share capability for large file

  • Sharing Photo Books Online

    I created a photobook as a gift for my son's teacher. It was great, a success. Now many of my friends and colleagues want to a) view the completed book online and b) potentially order one themselves (from Apple, not me..)
    Is there away to share photo books made in iPhoto 09 online? I am not as concerned about the ordering part ( although it would be nice not to be caught in the middle) as I am the sharing part. I have shared all of the raw photos via Gallery & mobileMe, but want to share the formatted & edited book. Any tips.... ?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You could do it like this: iPhoto Book as an iWeb Slideshow. You can even add music to play while the visitors are viewing the pages.
    Or go as far as converting the book pages to a jpeg in iPhoto and then create an iPhoto MobileMe gallery. You can then send the URL for the gallery or embed it in an iWeb page like this: MobileMe Galleries

  • Sharing Photo Books between iMac and MacBook Pro

    Hello!
    We created a photo book on iLife 09 on the MacBook Pro and wanted now to use parts of that layout in a new photo book we are creating on the iMac. I opened sharing preferences and opted to share that book, but on the iMac, I only have the photos from the photo book, and not the layout.
    Is it possible to share the book including layout between the two computers using a network?
    Thanks for your help

    Is it possible to share the book including layout between the two computers using a network?
    No. The only way to get a book from one Mac to another is to copy the entire library and run that library on the other Mac. You can't move layouts between libraries, only photos as you've already discovered.
    Send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

  • Can I send a link to a photo book so family members can choose to order a copy from Apple?

    I woud like to share the photo book that I created so that family members in other states can consider purchasing a copy from I Photo.  Is there a way they can view 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.
    you can share the PDF via drobbok or other file sharing service

  • How can i create a photo book from 2 libraries easily?

    This is my situation.
    I want to create a photo album of my child for the past year for parents/grandparents etc from the photos on mine AND my wifes macbooks. Before iphoto 9.5 i would simply look at her shared library from my iPhoto and use hers and my photos to make a book.
    Now there is no shared library in 9.5, so after doing my homework on how apple wants us to do this now, I started a shared iCloud photostream ('kid' 2013) and invited my wife to it. I started adding photos from my library, and she did the same. All good i thought, but no. Becasue the photo stream only sorts by 'date added' not date taken, and in fact I cannot even see the date the photo was taken in the photostream, it means making a chronological photo book from both our photo libraries has now been made impossible.
    Anybody got any other ways to do this?

    Create an album, and then select all photos in the Shared Photo Sream and add them to the album. In the album you can see the dates of the photos in the Info panel. Then sort your album by date, and create the Photo Book from the album, not directly from the shared stream.

  • How can I publish a photo book using an iPad

    Can someone walk me through publishing a hard back photo book using an iPad .I have iPhoto app installed

    I don't believe you can create and publish a book directly from the iPhoto for iOS app. You can create a journal which can be published to iCloud, but that's the only sharing feature I can find. There may be third-party software that can do this; the HP Photobook App has been mentioned, but I know nothing about it. Otherwise, if you want to create a book, I think you'll have to transfer your photos to a computer and use software there (iPhoto for Mac OS X, if you have a Mac).

    The digitization of data has introduced a complexity to our interactions with it that we continue to struggle with.  "Picture" and "Photo" now mean different things in different contexts.  In this case (and in general) defining our terms clearly is the first step towards understanding what we are trying to do.  Understanding is the path that allows us to do it.
    All pedantic, but please stick with me here  .
    You record a set of instantaneous data with a camera.
    That data is processed by your camera and saved to a file.
    The file format is usually either RAW or JPG.
    You transfer those files to your computer, and you import them into the program Aperture (often in one operation).
    From each camera-file imported, Aperture creates a record in its database (called, imho unhelpfully, a Library) and an Image that you see in the Aperture Browser and Viewer.
    Aperture links the Image and the imported file.
    The imported file is called, within Aperture, an Original.
    Every Image has an Original.
    The Image is not the Original.  The Image is what you see in Aperture.
    The Original is a file that is stored on your computer.
    You can make changes to an Image.
    Aperture calls these changes Adjustments.
    Adjustments are saved to another file attached to the record in the database.  Let's call this file the Changes File.
    Aperture uses these two files attached to the record in the database to create the Image.
    Image = Original + Changes File.
    The Image is not a file.
    Because the Image is not a file, it cannot be shared with other programs.  It exists only inside of Aperture.
    In order to share an Image with another program, you must first create a file of the Image.
    You do this by exporting Images ("File ▹ Export ▹ Version" is the command in Aperture; should be, imho, "File ▹ Export ▹ Image").
    You may ask, "Why all the complexity?  Why doesn't Aperture save Images as files?"  The answer is simple:  Images can require less — and in many cases very very much less — storage space than files of Images.  Rather than save a full-size file for every Image, Aperture saves only instructions on how to make that full-size file.  The gain in storage efficiency is huge.  The trade-off is that although your Images are always available to be made into share-able files, you must create those files when needed (which you do by exporting selected Images).
    Here is your question reworded with more precise terms:
    SamanthaR22 might have written:
    How do I access Images in my Aperture Library in the Finder?  I would like I be able to select files in the Finder when I am making photo books online without having to create them by exporting Images from Aperture into a new Finder folder. Is there any way to view and download my Images directly from the Finder?
    No, there is not.  Images exist only in Aperture, and are not accessible for use in other programs.  You must create, for each Image in your Aperture Library, a new file outside of your Aperture Library in order to use it with another program.
    Aperture does allow you to create and save within your Library share-able files of your Images.  These files are called Previews.  You specify the file parameters in Aperture Preferences on the Previews tab.  These files are available to other programs via the OS X Media Browser.  These files are what you get when you drag selected Images out of the Aperture program and drop them on another program or on your desktop (which is part of the Finder).

  • 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.

  • What is the best way to share a photo book?

    Here is my situation: I have created a photo book on my iMac and want my wife to be able to view and edit on her MacBook Pro while we are away on vacation. Is there a way I can move the book from my iPhoto collection to hers? I am hoping there is a way to export or copy. I originally thought of "sharing," but I have not been able get Finder to show the shared fields. I'm running the newest SL SW. Please help!

    There is no way to share a book with another Library or user.
    The best you can do is copy the Library containing the book to her Mac. She can then open it - Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' - and you can work on it from that.

  • How do I share my photo book project with my other computer?

    I have started creating a photo book in iPhoto on my iMac.  I would like to continue to work on it on my macbook.  Is there a way of sharing the project via iCloud or some other way?
    Please help

    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

  • Splitting one photo book into two?

    Hi, I have prepared one photo book (project) with iPhoto using the maximum of 100 pages (3 weeks US!!). Now, a friend shared his pics with me that I'd like to add. Can I split the one book in two with say 50 pages and continue addingnew pages with the spliited ones?
    Plus: Can I move complete pages from one iPhoto book to another project (book)?
    Thx for your help!
    Frank

    Select the book in the left hand pane and type Command+D (duplicate).  You can then modify each of the copies as needed.

  • How to share photo books online

    How can we share photo books created in iPhoto so others can buy the same book?

    Duplicate your iPhoto library and delete all events, that are not needed for the book from the copied iPhoto library (don't forget to empty the trash). Then copy the second library with only the photos for the book to a USB stick and send your friends or family the stick.
    Format the stick to MacOS Extended (Journaled) before you send it.
