Square photos in apple photo books

I have a lot of square photos, which I love, due to instagram and other photo editing apps.  I'd like to include them in my Apple photo books, but Apple doesn't seem to allow square photos. It crops the photos into rectangles. Is there a way to include square photos in their full frame in Apple photo books?

Thank you so much!!!!! That solved it for me!
For others of you who may have this question, you right click (2 finger click) on the photo once its placed in the book and select "fit photo to frame size." There is now just white space to the right and left of the photo.
Thank you, Larry!

  • How do I open the square photo books from iPad in iPhoto Mac ?

    I began creating a square photo book on iPad (iOS7) and decided that I would create the book on my Macbook instead (Mavericks) - so I could access my full photo library.  However I can only see rectangular photo book templates on the Mac.
    Questions:
    - Is it user error or are the templates totally different on Mac and on IOS?
    - Is there any way to transfer a square photo book project from iPad to Mac via iTunes or iCloud?
    Thanks :-)

    Just about the only thing iPhoto for Mac and iPhoto for iOS share is a name.
    So, no, it's not user error, the templates are different
    and
    No, there's no way to transfer any book project.

  • IPhoto books in iPhoto -  The new Photos program only has square photo books.  Will I be able to edit/order books with iPhoto after I upgrade to Photos?

    I have many photo books created in iPhoto.  These are rectangular shaped.  The new Photos program only has square shaped books.  After I upgrade to Photos, will I still be able to order books using iPhoto?  Or, will Photos allow me to edit books in their original rectangle shape, and order them?

    The new Photos.app will have the classic rectangular sizes as well.
    See the Preview.
    Apple - OS X - Photos Preview
    It only mentions the new square format, but the classic layouts are there as well, as the picture shows.
    But you may not be able to migrate the old book projects. Finish any current book project while still using iPhoto '11 and create new projects in Photos.

  • 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

  • Is it possible to reorder an iPhoto book 2 years later? My hard drive crashed and the photo book is no longer in my iPhoto but Apple printed it for me before the crash.  Would Apple still be able to print another copy?

    Is it possible to reorder an iPhoto book 2 years later? My hard drive crashed and the photo book is no longer in my iPhoto but Apple printed it for me before the crash.  Would Apple still be able to print another copy?

    For future books you might consider doing what I do:  create a separate library for each book andcopy the photos for the book from your working library to the book library with iPhoto Library Manager. 
    When the book is completed and ordered burn the library package to a CD, DVD or external HD to archive it so it's available for editing and reordering at a later date if needed.

  • ? about image resolution/color correction when apple prints photo book

    My first time making a photo book. I color correct and sharpen all of my images in Adobe Lightroom 2 first. Then I save the jpegs and import into iPhoto to make a book. Is there an option for turning off auto color correction when the file is uploaded to apple for printing? Is there an accurate way to tell how the photos will print on the specific paper they use? Also, what print resolution should the photos be set to? Is 180 dpi enough? Thanks in advance.

    first read the Apple pages - http://www.apple.com/support/photoservices/preparation_tips/ - and all of its links
    Second - I suspect you will be disappointed. Based on reports on these forums almost everyone who uses iPhoto exclusively to preprocess photos is extremely happy with the results. very often people you over process their photos using a third party program (including Lightroom, Photoshop, etc) are unhappy because the printing process is optimized for point and shoot cameras and iPhoto processing - it is NOT a professional desktop book process
    There are no options re color correction - it is built in again aimed at sRGB, point and shoot cameras and iPhoto processing
    Plus there have been reported incompatibilities between iPhoto and Lightroom
    The print resolution is what it is - if it will be less than 180 dpi you will get a waarning - it can be greater
    The papers they print on are specified here - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3412

  • Why can I not upload an assembled photo book to Apple?

    I have created a photo book which has 76 pages.  I am able to assemble the book and preview and save it as a pdf, but when I try and buy the book through Apple, my computer hangs when it gets to the Upload stage.  I have tried clearing the cache and using different proxy servers, all to no avail.  This is extremely frustrating as I have a deadline to get the book printed by.  I can get no help from Apple as the call centre is not open on Sundays in Asia, and when I call the US number, it drops my call after promising to connect me to an apple expert!
    Any ideas anyone?

    Boot into safe mode and try

  • Is there ever going to be an update to this app that will allow iPad 2 users to actually order a photo book? I sat on the phone with apple support for an hour with no results. Please help!!

    After spending MANY hours creating a nearly 100 page photo book of our wedding, we were very upset to discover that the app crashes every time we try to actually order the book. Using an iPad 2. App will work right up to entering the cvs code on my credit card and then crash. You would think apple would be all over a problem that prevents users from spending over $100 to order an album. Been waiting to hear something / anything that will help.

    At what point do we stop shooting in the dark and resign to the (what seems to be) fact that there is a problem with the app?
    I thought, you want to rescue the work you invested into your wedding album? Confirming a problem with iPhoto will not rescue your book.
    But iPhoto is just one component in a complex system - all parts have to work properly - the network, Apple's Print Products Store in your country (you are not in Australia, are you?),  the settings and presets on your ipad, the system files, iPhoto, and the photos you are using.
    I am quite confident in saying that there is not a data corruption issue with any of the photos. They are all photos of the same format taken from the same camera by the photographers at our wedding. Those photos were copied to my computer off of the DVDs and synced to my iPad.
    And during this sync transmission errors may have occured. Browsing alone will not necessarily show you any data corruption because previews may be used and not the original image files. Only editing will use the originals.
    I can't see the issue being an incomplete installation of iPhoto, as we have also created a couple scrapbooks and stuff just to play with, and also view over airplay. I can't see how an incomplete installation would allow all the functions of the app to work
    The installation includes many ressource files, and one of these ressources may have been transferred incompletely. All may work properly, until you need the ressources required for assembling your book.
    Then reinstalling can fix it.
    At what point do we stop shooting in the dark
    I prefer systematic troubleshooting to narrow down the problem to isolate the issue - why are you asking for our help, if you already have done so?
    resign to the (what seems to be) fact that there is a problem with the app?
    That is up to you, to decide when the evidence is conclusive  - it is your book that you are giving up.
    If you are convinced, that it is a bug in iPhoto, nothing will save your book but an iPhoto update   with a bug fix.  Then the only option will be to file a bug report, so the developers are notified. Posting here in a user forum or talking to Apple Geniusses will not ensure that:

  • Comparison of Apple, Blurb, and MyPublisher photo books

    I put together three photo books with the same 75 pictures -- one directly from Aperture to Apple, one from Blurb, and one from MyPublisher.
    For MyPublisher, I used their super high-gloss paper and the lay-flat pages to let them show off their top of the line.
    In short, the Apple Book is the best.  The colors are correct and the exposures are perfect.  The layout is very customizable and easy to use.
    The Blurb book would look great if it wasn't compared to the other two.  The color is a bit greenish in all the photos, which shows up most in the skintones, of course.  The customizable themes and pages are great; the "ornaments" on the pages are cool.
    The MyPublisher book also looks great, but (1) the photos are all a bit dark and (2) the page layouts are very simplistic and hard to customize.  The background colors for each page are very simplistic (i think I could have made them more subtle with a lot of work), which renders the book a little too primary-school-ish, if you know what I mean. 
    The prices were all very similar (50 bucks, more or less, including shipping, for a 35-page book), but I paid extra for the MyPublisher high gloss and lay-flat options (about 72 bucks total).  And on your first order, MyPublisher sends you two books for the price of one.  So that's cool.
    All in all, I'm very impressed with the Apple book.  In addition to the best photo quality of the three, it's the only one that both prints your pictures on the actual cover and adds a dust jacket with the pictures on it. They also send a cardboard "sleeve" for the book, which is a nice touch.
    These pics were from 2010, so I know where I'm sending my BIG 2011 photo book -- Apple, direct from Aperture.

    Thanks for the report!  Good to know -- and information that is not easily obtained.  .

  • How to get rid of Apple logo in photo book back cover

    When I finish the photo book preparation, at the back flap, there is a "Made on a Mac" & an apple logo. Can I get rid of that? Since this is not a free book, there should be no bundled ads on my personal photo book, right?

    Select the book in the sidebar, click on Settings, and uncheck the box for the logo.

  • When using iPhoto to buy photo books, is Apple going to take ownership of my photographic material?

    Hi,
    I like iPhoto for its features and ease of use; however, I'm unclear on its privacy policy.
    When using iPhoto to buy photo books, is Apple going to take ownership of my photographic material?
    Can Apple use my pictures to advertise Apple products or services?
    I've asked these questions twice to the apple privacy postmaster, but they only reply with a boiler plate of links to get further support or they simply ignore my email. Should I assume the worse?
    I like iPhoto, but I'm not going to use it if I don't know that my privacy is satisfactorily safeguarded.
    Thank you for any insight

  • How long can Apple photo books be expected to last?

    How long can Apple photo books be expected to last?  Given the type of ink and paper used, what can we expect these books to look like in 10 years?  20 years?  100 years?

  • Can a completed Aperture photo book be placed on a website for viewing by friends?  I already had several copies successfully printed by Apple.

    Can a completed Aperture photo book be placed on a website for viewing by friends?  I already have several copies successsfully printed by Apple?  Thanks. Buzz22

    There is no direct web publishing of a book, sorry. But as a work-around: You can print your book to pdf - select it in the book in the Inspecktor panel and use "Print book".  Then select the "PDF" buttun in the print panel and save a pdf file. Upload the pdf to a server for sharing (ftp, Drop box) and send your friends a link or place a link to the file on a webpage.
