Templates for photo books?

Hi,
we want to do a photo book without using iphoto.
- can we export hires pdf's from pages 08?
- are there any templates available to do books for pages08?
Thanks for your help

Yes you can export hires pdfs from Pages 08. Select:
+Menu > File > Export > PDF > Best+
Make sure you have enough resolution (300dpi) in the original image, at the size you are printing.
For templates look on the following sites:
http://www.iworkcommunity.com/
http://www.jumsoft.com/pages/
http://www.stocklayouts.com/Products/Apple/Apple-iWork-Pages-Template-Design.asp x
http://www.keynotepro.com/index.html
http://oegf.co.uk/
http://www.digmo.co.uk/software/apple-pages-templates/
There are others search for them.
A suggestion would be, if you like Apple's iPhoto photobooks, to print out one of these to a .pdf file and use this to layout a similar template in Pages. Or any other layout you fancy.

  • Is there a template for e-book covers?

    Hi ... Does Forms Central have a template for e-book covers?
    Thanks

    Not specifically.  You may be able to modify one of our existing templates to meet your needs though: https://www.acrobat.com/formscentral/en/templates/web-forms-builder.html

  • Pages Templates for Novel - Book Interiors

    Good Evening,
    I have seen a couple of templates for Novel Interior Designs for Word. I am looking for a pages version not for the cover, just the interior
    of the book or novel. It's not for submission to a publisher. We are self publishing and trying to find a quality template, we can embed
    our fonts and story with no photos, just text and design layout.
    Thanks

    You can use the Word version in Pages.
    Also look at iworkcommunity.com.

  • Possible To Change The Colour Of A Theme Template For A Book - Aperture

    Hi
    I am using Aperture 3 and would like to make a photo book for a recent trip, combined with including the text of a blog I wrote during the journey.
    I like the journal theme that now exists in Aperture theme layouts, but I'd like to change the "bark" colour to a specific yellow that was used for all of the promo literature for the event. Is it possible at all, or am I limited to the few colours on the dropdown list?
    If it isnt possible, do you have any other ideas about how else I could achieve this? I have looked at some of the plug ins available and can only see a few that are either too "upmarket" for the job at hand, or also dont allow to change the background to a specific rgb colour.
    Any ideas anyone?
    Thanks!

    There may be a much easier way to do this.
    The color information is stored in separate plists for the large and extra-large books. The plist files are at, for example:
    +/Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/Resources/Book Themes/Photo Journal/Extra Large/Backgrounds+
    You can edit the plist to show whatever color you want.

  • HT4990 Why is there no option to create cards in the iPhoto app? It seems odd that they have options for photo book but no cards??

    I just purchased the iPhoto app for the ipad. I was very disappointed that there is no place to create cards/post cards from the iPad itself. It really seems odd since they have options to make photo books but nothing for cards and prints?
    Is there any other thing I can use to get this feature from the ipad itself?

    There used to be the free Cards.app to create greeting cards, but is has been discontinued two month ago:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4990
    Check out this list for alternatives - I have not tried any of them, however:  http://appadvice.com/applists/show/apps-for-sending-ecards

  • Converting photos to sRGB for photo book

    Hi everyone!
    I'm very excited about my new photo books, and anxious to send them off, but I'm glad that I checked the discussions first. I noticed a few posts recommending users save their photos using sRGB as opposed to adobeRGB to prevent dark printing and other quality issues. I use Lightroom to catalog and edit all of my photos, and when I exported my selects and added them to the iPhoto library, I exported them as adobeRGB. Is there a way to change the photos to sRGB in iPhoto WITHOUT re-exporting from Lightroom? I'm concerned that if I change to sRGB in Lightroom and re-import to iPhoto that I will loose my many hours of hard work designing the photobooks. Will the books really turn out awful with adobe RGB?

    I used Preview to change my photos to sRGB, and now they look pretty awful. Very desaturated and just, well, blah. Is this normal for sRGB? Should I now correct them using iPhoto? I even tried changing my monitor to the sRGB profile (I use a Spyder monitor calibrator) but that looked even worse. Perhaps I'm over-thinking this?

  • Best Image File Type & Size for Photo Books?

    When you select your photos to be included in a Photo Book submission, is there a required file type and maximum size. Most of my images are presently Photoshop .psd files and TIFF files of substantial size -- around 2 to 4MB, that I will have to import into iPhoto '09. Thanks.

    Interesting. Presently, all my image files are at 300 dpi.
    Remember that DPI has no meaning for a digital file - digital files have only dots - the per inch part comes form the print size so until you select a print size you had only "d" - not "dpi" - that is a totally meaningless number
    See +The Myth of DPI+ for more information
    How exactly is print size determined in the photo books -- from your selection
    Obviously from your selection - you place a photo into a frame and the frame size is the size
    You may want to take the tutorial for more information - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/#books
    or, whatever size results from the image resolution.
    remember that images have no inherent size - they are just dots (pixels)
    Is the ideal resolution 300 dpi? Thanks.
    any image that will print at 180dpi or above will give good results (and will not get a resolution warning)

  • Using multiple themes for photo book

    Is there a way that one can create a photo book using different "themes" throughout? Say if I want one page to be "Tropical" and another with "Modern"........is such modifications allowed? Thanks in advance.

    The Print to PDF->Save PDF to iPhoto only creates a 200 dpi jpg image of each page. You can edit that Automator workflow and change the dip to 300, what iPhoto uses when it converts the book to pdf for uploading and printing. Or you can download an edited +Save PDF to iPhoto 300 DPI.workflow+ from Toad's Cellar and place it in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder.

  • Create Template for Photo Album Pages

    I'm starting a project that involves creating a Web photo
    album. However, there are special formatting rules I need to
    institute for the individual pages I create in the photo album. Is
    it possible to create a template for these pages (the pages you go
    to when you click on the thumbnail on the contact sheet) rather
    than going in and applying css files and other items after they've
    been created?
    Any help is much appreciated.

  • Permissable content for photo books?

    I am a professional photographer and am looking at making photo books through Apples service an option for some of their needs.
    Some of the work that I may choose to include with an order would be art images (tasteful nudes).
    Does anyone have a policy, guideline document or contact info to the 'service' so that I may inquire as to whether this sort of content is not something they wish to handle?
    thank you.

  • Is iPhoto comparable to Picaboo (Windows) for photo books?

    Hello... I am a Windows user who is considering switching to a MacBook Pro laptop, and am currently investigating which of my software is available for the Mac. One product I use to create printed photo books is called Picaboo. I like the ease of creating books with this software but in particular I like the quality of the photobooks. Since I have never used a Mac, I would like to know if the quality of the books is good, and if the process of creating the books is "user-friendly." Thank you!

    kmrunner:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It's hard to say as the perceived quality is a user thing. If there's an Apple Store near you take one of your books in and compare it to the display book they should have. (Call them in advance to save yourself a trip if they don't).
    I've liked what I got in the large, hardcover books. They are family orientated books and were excellent for the intended use. Can't say as much for the medium sized books. They had a halftone pattern that was visible to the naked eye under good illumination. Again, they were satisfactory for the intended use, a memory book of an outing with the grandkids.
    If you the the MBP and are not happy with the iPhoto books you could run Windows on it with Parallels just to use Picaboo. But that will mean using a good amount of disk space for Windows, etc. just for that one application. Something you'll have to weight the pros and cons of.
    The book creation process is very easy in my estimation. I do have a suggestion if you do come over to the "light" side and that's to create a separate iPhoto Library for each book so you can save that library folder to disk in case you want to order another copy at a later date. Apple doesn't keep the file on had for use in ordering other copies, at least not at this time. But that's something you can consider after you get up and running with the MBP. Good luck and hope to see you here later.
    Another tip: wait until the MacWorld Expo is over or nearly over to buy if you're going to buy. Then you'll be assured of the newest software, installed on the MBP as the Expo is usually the time they release the newest version of iLife and others.

  • Can not change the shipping country for photo book delivery!?

    Would like to send a photo book, but can not select the country. Below the field of the address data, is the country: United Kingdom. I live there currently, but would like to send the book to Germany! What is the problem there!!??

    here is what Apple says - http://www.apple.com/uk/support/photoservices/shipping/
    Try going to your iPhoto preferences and setting Germany as the print product country and see if you can do it - don't forget to change it back
