Shutterfly Books from Aperture?

Hello!
We have a collection of photobooks printed with Shutterfly, and we like their covers very much, much nicer than the Apple covers.
I have moved to Aperture, and am wondering if there exists a plugin or somehow an option to print a book with Shutterfly directly from Aperture. That would be more convenient than having to upload the JPG photos into the Shutterfly interface.
Any input you may have will be welcome.
I asked this question in 2009 but got no answer, I am asking again just in case something has been made available since then.
Best wishes and thanks for any input.

I only know of the Shutterfly plug-in for iPhoto:  http://www.shutterfly.com/upload-pictures/index.jsp
But if you are using compatible, recent versions of both Aperture and iPhoto (Aperture 3.3: Using a unified photo library with iPhoto and Aperture), you could open your Aperture library temporarily in iPhoto to use the uploader. 
From Aperture's "File" menu:  File > Open library in iPhoto
Then upload the album of images you want to use and switch back to Aperture:    File > Open library in Aperture.
Dirctly from Aperture it seems not to be possible afaik, see Frank Caggiono's post:
Re: how do I export from Aperture 3 to shutterfly on the web

  • Is it possible to export a Book from Aperture 3 to iPhoto?

    I shot a wedding for a friend and made a layout of a book on Aperture 3.
    Printed a few books which I thought were beautiful.
    I was wondering if it would be possible to export this book from Aperture (with the layout and photos intact) as a file (editable or read-only), so my friend can import and open it using iPhoto and order more copies of the book through Apple when she pleases.
    Tried Google and couldn't find an answer. Thank you for taking the time.

    How about importing from iPhoto into Aperture 3?
    I have made a photobook in iPhoto and then bought Aperture 3, but I can't find it possible to export the book in a format that I can open in Aperture. Also, when I export the book in size Large or above, iPhoto crashes.

  • Problems Uploading Book from Aperture

    I am trying to upload a book from Aperture. It takes quite a while and then it just gives me an error message - A Connection Could Not Be Established At This Time.
    My Internet connection is fine so I wondered if this was a problem with Apple's servers - is anyone else seeing the same?
    Thx
    Brendan

    Working now. Must have been a problem with Apple over the weekend.

  • Is there a way to import a book FROM aperture to iphoto?

    I have downloaded the trial version of Aperture and created a book that I want to purchase.  I am on the fence about keeping Aperture, but I would like to have the book available to re-order if necessary.  Can I import that book to iPhoto?

    I guess you could "export" a photo from Aperture, then "import" a photo into iPhoto... not very clean, but it will probably work. Doing a book won't work.

  • My first book from Aperture

    I was curious about the book feature in Aperture and decided to give it a try. My previous experience with books is with WHCC, so I will use them as a comparison.
    It was extremely easy to make the book. Apple designed this process very well and it is easy to go from book view to edit mode and back. It is also easy to change page layouts, swap pictures, etc. To create a book from WHCC, you must download a template from their website and make it yourself in Photoshop. This is much less user friendly.
    The pricing was fair for what you get. I ordered the 8.5x11 20 page softcover book for $20. I can't remember the last time I paid sales tax for an online purchase, but Apple charged it. Shipping was $6 which I also found to be fairly expensive. I ordered the book on 9/24, got shipping notification on 9/28, and received it on 10/2. This is a little slow for my tastes, but I wasn't ordering at the last minute so it didn't really matter. WHCC processes all orders the same day, includes shipping in the (higher) tax-free price, and gets it to your door in 2 days. That is a much more satisfying experience.
    I was completely satisfied with image quality. The images in the book were just as I saw them on the screen. Color reproduction was accurate. The book was of family photos that I will be giving away to a family member. It was more than adequate for this purpose. If I were to rate the print quality of WHCC products at 10, this book from Apple would come in at a 9.
    This was a good first experience for me. I won't stop using WHCC because I love the quality of their products, but I certainly see myself creating more books in Aperture.

    Thank you for posting about the books.
    I placed an order for a book yesterday (also using Aperture 2.1) and am expecting it any day now. I'm happy to hear things went well.
    I hope I will be able to post a similar entry as yours soon (i.e. happy customer).

  • Ordering a book from Aperture - Quick but important question

    I have a book ready to be ordered from Aperture, but I want it to be shipped to a different address than what I have registered with Apple (it's a mother's day gift, which I realize will be late). Do I need to change my shipping address temporarily in my 1-Click settings, or will an option show up during the order process where I can input a new address? Thanks!

    Disregard, I found my answer

  • How can I import a "book" from Aperture into iPhoto?

    I've created a "Book" in Aperture and want to import it into iPhoto so I can send the book to EU for the US. Thank you in advance!

    Not possible, I'm afraid.

  • BUY BOOK FROM APERTURE 2.0.1

    I upgraded to Aperture 2.0.1 and I try again to buy a book. It is about 30 pages. 1-Click enabled and credit card checked - OK - Now the activity ic frozen at 0%. (sending data to server)
    I have read somebody was able to get the book in about 40 minutes. I will wait.
    But this is not the kind of service we should expect from Apple....
    I was few days ago at a conferenca about Aperture and other Software in Milan Italy (Pro Series - Joined-up-thinking) and nobody of the Apple staff was aware of this problem.
    Thern I got the patch online to upgrade Aperture to 2.0.1 and I thought it was the solution, but probably not jet.
    Is it really so difficoult ???

    I reply to miself to inform other friends. It worked.
    About 40 minutes after start of uploading the book to the Apple server Aperture informed that the book was fully received. Few minutes later I received the Mail with the order confirmation.
    During this time the Activity report was alwais stopped at 0% until complete upload while it went suddenly to 100%.
    OK now we know it works.

  • Cannot buy book from aperture

    Cannot create account when trying to buy an Aperture book.

    Same issue ordering photo prints with error message
    - Please try again later  -
    Solved as follows:
    1. reset password (appleid.apple.com) according to Apple standards (i.e. they will let you know)
    2. security question answers had to 6 characters or longer (oddly without saying so Apple...?)
    Thats it. I really hate when things like this happens, you spend hours on blog sites when, really, I should be doing, well, something else..)

  • CANNOT buy photo book from Aperture 3.3.1

    I've created a photobook using Aperture 3 and went to submit it for buying
    After logging in at the first screen
    > I reconfirmed my password, answered my security question, entered date of birth
    > Accepted terms and conditions
    > Entered billing information
    > Entered shipping information (which is exactly the same as billing, though I didnt tick the option box, because of the following reason)
    Pressed save and then I get a message:
    "Please try again later"
    There was no other error message, doesn't tell me whats wrong or anything else
    I noticed 2 other Aperture users also having a similar problem, but their posts didnt receive any solution, so I decided to post my own
    Please help out if you know of any ideas/solutions
    Thanks in advance

    UPDATE: I finally solved the problem thanks to this thread: CANNOT buy photo book from Aperture 3.3.1
    It seems one of my security question answer was too short (but it wouldn't say so!).

  • Book printing - Unique Workflows? - Cross-Posted from Aperture forum

    (Cross-posted. I think this post might be of interest to iPhoto users as well)
    I am exploring the book printing features in Aperture. My goal was to build the book in Aperture and get this into iPhoto so that I could use MyPublisher to print the book. MyPublisher currently has a 50% off coupon for orders over $50. iPhoto needs their plugin to upload to MyPublisher instead of Apple when the BuyBook button is chosen. (code is MAC2550 - good though Dec 31). The design features in Aperture are rudimentary at best. It's simple to customize the design for photo placement, adding and deleting photos, resizing, etc. The type design features are not simple to customize, though. However, with patience a suitable design can be made. You can add and delete text boxes at will but these will always default to the template's built in style. I continually had to reformat the type by right clicking on the selected text and applying my preferred style. One trick when cutting and pasting text is to place the cursor one letter in from the beginning of a preformatted line, select the remaining text and paste - this will pick up the current style rather than default to the template default. Then delete the leftover first character of the line. From Aperture I printed the book to PDF, being sure to choose letter size and borderless paper option. Once book is printed to PDF I opened in Acrobat and "saved as" to PNG. In the PNG options I chose 600ppi (the default of 300ppi might have been just fine for quality, not sure). Saving to PNG creates an individual file for each page. In testing Apple's Preview software for this I found it would make a nice PNG - but of just one page at a time. I then imported all PNG pages into iPhoto. Within iPhoto create a book. I used "Modern Lines" with double sided pages. To create the cover (it's actually a label that is adhered to the linen hard cover book) I had to import the actual cover photo used in Aperture to recreate a new design based on the "Modern Lines" template. I then recreated my pages using the template. The key step being to assign the single photo page design for each page. For each page I dropped in the corresponding PNG file which included all type and images created previously in Aperture. One minor point when adjusting the placed PNG images in the iPhoto template is the option to fit photo to frame size (an option when right clicking on the photo). When fit photo is selected the image gets resized very slightly. I opted not to use this feature as I thought the resizing might compromise quality. I then clicked on the "buy book" button and the file was assembled and sent to MyPublisher. Since I had the 50% coupon I opted for the leather bound book option and ordered two 24 page books for $53.74 which included $9.98 standard FedEx fee. As for quality I'll have to wait and see. I'll post back once books are in hand.

    It is important to realize there are two aspects to an index.
    1) Topics
    2) Page References
    Topics have no relation to the text of the actual document. Topics can
    be imported from one InDesign document to another. Also, creating topics
    from a list of text is trivial. Just type all the words (or place them
    from a text document or Word doc) and then press Ctrl+A to select all of
    them and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+[, then delete the text.
    Page references, however are not as simple. These have to be created at
    each place in the text where you want the page to be referenced it the
    index. This *can* in fact be done Word if you are using the text from
    the Word document.
    What you really have to watch out for is that when you want to create a
    page reference you have the "Reference" radio button selected in the
    index panel. Otherwise you will just be creating a topic. It is best to
    work with hidden characters turned on so you can see and make sure
    InDesign created an index marker in the text after you created your page
    reference.

    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.

    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).
    HTH.
