Size of digital images for reproduction in iPhoto Books

I have been reading comments in this forum and have become confused reading about image size in iphoto books. I have some very old scanned photos saved in tiff format files on an external hard-drive and want to make a book using them. I don't want to compromise the altered quality of these old photos since so many are over 100 years old and were in poor condition when scanned. I corrected them as best I could using Photoshop and saved them them in tiff form in storage. Can I leave them as a tiff (cropped to 4:3ratio) when I import them to iPhoto or do I have to convert them to j-pegs BEFORE importing? I realize that these files are larger than a j-peg of the same photo so the entire 100 page book is quite large. If so will j-peg format make these look worse in the printing? iphoto's instructions skip over this detail. Could some please help me with an answer to this?

Dognut:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can use the tiffs. There won't be a problem. The only restriction is Apple can't use CMYK color. I've always used jpgs without a problem. As long as the number of pixels are high you should get good results. The downside to using tiffs is that iPhoto will copy them into the library and will take up a lot of disk space. But you can always delete them from iPhoto when you've ordered and received your book to free up disk space.

  • Maximum  size of the image for uploading.

    Dear All,
    I wrote an image upload program for uploading Color images. I need to know the maximum size of the image to be uploaded.
    I am using the class cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload for uploading the image.
    Regards,
    Rahul R

    you will be converting the image into 'TIFF' or 'BMP' to be uploaded through GUI_UPLOAD.
    i think you can do it for large size also, and for any problem you will get the exceptions :
    DP_OUT_OF_MEMORY     : Not Enough Memory in Data Provider
    DISK_FULL                        : Storage Medium full.
    so try and see.

  • Can anyne suggest a book on digital imaging for computer newbie?

    Hi,
    i have a friend who's a great amateur photographer - he know's his digital cameras / what makes a good shot etc.
    He's just bought a new Macbook pro to take his digital photography a step further, he's joined a photography club, and everyone around him is talking about photoshop.
    At the photography club he was asked to prepare an image for projection - 72dpi 720x1024...
    I thought i could explain, and go on to subjects like printing etc. I found it very hard.
    There's loads of stuff on the web, but this is a computer newbie, as i say. So it would be great if there was a handy book out there that could help out.
    Any suggestions?
    Many thanks in advance,
    nw9

    At the photography club he was asked to prepare an image for projection - 72dpi 720x1024...
    If the image is for projection then the only specification he has to worry about is the dimension of the image, 1024 x 720. He just needs to crop/resize the image in Photoshop to 1024 x 720 pixels and save a copy. DPI does not come into play until you print an image. See The Myth of DPI .
    I believe MacWorld offered several books on digital photography. You might search their site for them.

  • Is there a maximum number of photos in an album for making an iPhoto book?

    is there a maximum number of photos that you can upload into an iPhoto book from an album?
    trying to make a book and only some of the photos from my album are there

    No
    There is a maximum numb of pages in a book (100 pages) and the larges page I am aware of holds 16 photos so the maximun number of photos you could have in a book would be 1600

  • Size of Launch images for ipad

    Hi All,
    I'm developing an iPad app that run in all device orientation and that don't display the status bar (fullscreen).
    I read that the launch screen images should be landscape: 1024x748 and Portrait: 768x1004. Which let the place for the status Bar.
    But as i hide the statusbar (in my plist), the app start in fuulscreen (including the launch image, which get stretched. it's a pretty ugly solution, so my question is, is it still possible to provide 1024x768 images? I know it work, but as xcode 4 give warning, i don't want to see my app rejected because of that..
    Any experience?
    Tanks for your comments,
    Alain

    While no one here can promise what will/won't be accepted/rejected, I've been submitting apps using 768 × 1024 ~ 1024 × 768 up until recently with no issues.

  • Desparte for help with Iphoto Book:

    My book will sometimes load almost the the end then just stop - I have even tried putting my whole library on another computer and it still wont load.
    I have been working on 3 books for several months and have successfully done over 12 books in the past.
    Can anyone help me!!

    I have exactly the same problem. I spoke at length with Apple tech people and worked through all their suggestions, including the safe mode one. No luck. Finally they told me my upload speed was too slow. My IP says they cannot provide anything faster. Had some success uploading a book through the 4G network using a hotspot via the cellphone, which provided a faster upload speed, and managed to get one book through. But now even with the faster upload speed it's not working again. This seems ridiculous given that on earlier version of iPhoto I've had no trouble whatsoever - it's just been with the most iPhoto 11 that the problem has arisen. I'm at my wits end.

  • Portrait mode format for photos in iPhoto books?

    Attenton Apple Execs (Jonathan Ive in particular) - How about creating at least ONE Book format that incorporates portrait mode (vertical) photos well?  This question was put out to Apple in discussions in 2010 and archived.  In 2014 - still no such format!
    Where is Apple's "user experience" crew when we need them?
    You guys, with iPhones and iPads, have moved the world to a much more portrait mode still and video orientation. 
    Can we please, please, please .... have an accomodating Book Format in iPhoto? I know you are really proud of the face recognition and other sophisticated featurs in recent editions of iPhoto, but we poor users are still without a basic book capability.
    Ideally, all the existing formats could be expanded with a few pages to accomodate vertical images better.
    Wow us....with "one more thing!"

    Sorry to inform you but Jonathan Ive is not here - no Apple exects are here. In face Apple is not here. As you are aware this is totally a user to user assistance forum manned only by volenteer users
    If you want to contact Apple use the contact us link at the bottom of every page of these forums - or the iPhoto menu ==> Provide iPhoto feedback

  • Is there any options/addons for selecting/changing image size when viewing images?

    When clicking to open images when on web pages there is no option to select size.
    I'm looking at some pages that have images (mostly jpg) I like to compare and that is very hard when all images open in a size that normally fill most of the browser window.
    So I wonder if there is some hidden options or addons for selecting image size when opening images for viewing?
    I have tried Image resizer/scaler, image zoom and show picture with mix results. Image resizer/scaler and image zoom allow resizing of images, but when opening images on same tab as web page the white image "frame" that is visible when reducing image size is left in original size. This make viewing and opening other pages a hazard.
    I'm grateful for any help...cheers :-)

    hehe no offense, but I'm not following the version rushing from Mozilla. I'm using many customizations and addons and it is a nightmare to change to a new version and practically impossible to use last version. Also the FIrefox history have shown that earlier versions have both been more stable and had better implementation of features.
    Spending hours customizing and finding out that addons dont work with new version every time Firefox come with a new version , no thanks. For that to happen Firefox have to be more compatible across versions and more friendly toward customization in updates and new versions. I have used Firefox for at least 8-9 years with practically no security problems and one thing I have learned is: dont update or install next version if the version I have is working well.
    Maybe I should have mentioned this in this question, that Im using v26 and that my FIrefox is heavily modified with addons and customizations.
    '''Back to the subject'''
    Anyway I dont think any of my customizations or addons should create a white frame behind images, but I'm asking to find out if you guys also get this white frame when resizing pictures to a smaller size after clicking images for viewing.

  • Best way to store digital images?

    I have all of my digital images for personal and business loaded in my home pc (Windows XP, sorted in a Kodak Easyshare program). Recently purchased a laptop. All of my information from the PC was transferred/copied onto the laptop. However, I want to store the images on something separate from the laptop. Approximately 10GB worth of images.
    What is the best way to store them for easy access to view and copy/print or for uploading to a site to print out pix for photo albums, etc.
    Thanks!

    The best way to store your images is to get a high-capacity flash memory device, preferably an SDHC card because they have a lock switch that prevents writing when the card doesn't need to be written to, and use that to archive your files. Simply keep it inside a memory card case in a safe place, such as a personal lock-box, and you're good to go. You can take that card to any photo kiosk or someone's home to do whatever you want to with the files.
    Good point, I'm so ingrained against that particular solution due to the sheer amount of images I have (I can easily fill up an 8GB SDHC in 1-2 days when airshow season rolls around, plus I have an HD camcorder that takes about 8GB/hour), but since the OP only has 10GB total, making copies to 2-3 16GB SDHC cards and storing them in safe places would be an excellent approach.  Choose one location (maybe the desktop or the laptop's hard drive) as a "master" and periodically back up to all the SDHCs.
    Just make sure to choose a "master" storage location or you'll go insane trying to keep things synchronized.
    Online storage solutions such as Dropbox and similar services might also be an option for only 10GB of data.

  • IPhoto Book Purchasing procedure stuck

    I cannot complete the procedure to purchase the book from iPhoto, as a telephone number is a mandatory field and it keep showing error - does not accept the entry.
    The issue is that most phone numbers in Italy (both home and mobile) have 6 or 7 digits, but this field in iPhoto book requires 8 digits (no more no less than that) and does not accept space or other characters to fill the missing digit.
    Did someone experienced the same? Can someone help in fixing this bug?

    Search the forums - several people have figured this out - for one it was not including the + that their country normally has - for another it was moving a digit from one field to another field
    You might add leading 0s to make the full 8 digits
    In the US the phone number is ten digits all numeric in the form of aaa-ppp-nnnn - can you use that format?

  • Iphoto book disappeared

    is there a file for a created iphoto book? i created a book and later when i opened iphoto, it just said loading book and it never loaded. the pictures are still in the library but the book is gone. is there any way to find it now??

    ghorn
    welcome to the apple user to user assistance forums
    did you have any problems before the book disappeared?
    iPhoto books can be between 20 and 100 pages (10 to 50 sheets of paper) - you can not go below the minimum or above the maximum so that is not the problem
    Books do not really exist - they are virtual things that exist only in the iPhoto database - so you can never see them except using iPhoto
    Quit iPhoto and depress the option (alt) and command (apple) keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild the library from the last automatic database backup

  • Looking for equivilent of Microsoft Digital Image Pro 10

    Sorry if this is in the wrong topic, didn't know where to post....
    I am a new Mac user and am loving my MacBook, but iPhoto isn't quite doing enough for me when it comes to working with and editing pictures. I've used Microsoft Digital Image Pro on my PC for the last few years, and REALLY like it, although of course they don't make it for macs. Any ideas on a program that would be the equivilent for macs? I don't want something as comlicated as Photoshop, but a little more than iPhoto. Thanks!

    Here's a tip for controlling iPhoto's red-eye tool. It also works with the Retouch tool:
    * Type Caps lock + Control + 9
    * Undo caps lock
    * Click on Retouch or the Red-Eye Removal tool.
    * The tab key will toggle between cursor types, a cross or a circle for Red-Eye removal tool and between darken and lighten in the Retouch tool.
    * The "[" and "]" keys decrease or increase the size accordingly.
    * To get a lighter pupil with the red-eye tool, Shift-Click inside the circular curser.
    NOTE: Using the "{" "}" keys will will change the value next to the circle and that represents the degree of change or intensity that the Retouch tool imparts on each pass.
    Thanks to Old Toad for the above information.
    I have found that in some situations where Elements absolutely refuses to correct the red-eye properly, I can get a better adjustment using iPhoto. But without the use of this secret mode, it is pretty much useless.
    As far as iPhoto's capabilities, it is a really powerful image organizer with a few editing features for added convenience. What makes it better than other organizers is that it is not a file browser, it is a database application. Once you give the database some information, you can use that info to search and group your photos in almost infinite ways very quickly and easily. You can print your own cards, too. If you've had trouble with the 7 X 10 size you may benefit from Old Toad's tutorial. See his posts in this thread for an explanation and link: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4605228
    I agree with you that Elements can be complicated and overwhelming. It has so many features that it can be challenging trying to figure out which ones you need to correct your photo. When editing a group of photos I try to keep it simple: adjust the levels, lighten shadows (a must for many indoor shots), fix red-eye, crop. Plus, I do love the healing brush (band-aid tool) for removing the odd spec of anything that doesn't belong. My Elements experience was greatly improved after I bought and read a good book. You can get one that will tell you which features really work, which ones are more of a gimmick, and how to do the things you need to do most. If you can get through the learning curve, then the tools I listed really are quick and simple to use.
    Good luck.
