URGENT!!!!! photo book question

I ordered about 30 iPhoto books today. When I finished all the details of the transaction a dialogue came up saying that the data was being transmitted. about halfway through (11MB out of 20MB) I got an error message saying that there was a problem submitting one of the photos. To Try again click "Retry." I clicked retry and then got the message that my order was received and I got an order number. I just ordered the book, so I don't have a confirmation email yet.
I was wondering if there is some preemptive communcation I could attempt as this is a big order costing over $800. I want to make sure they got everything.
Thanks,
jnitram

Nevermind, Apple acknowledged an error in the transmission, so I will retransmit.

IPhoto photo book question

My wife created a photo book for our son's PK4 class in IPhoto and selected the hard bound option. Is there an easy way to order book as a wire bound or soft cover book short of recreating the book for each print option. Several of the parents in the class do not want the expensive hard cover version. Thanks in advance for any help

I had the same question and emailed Apple Support. Below is their response. Good luck! Do you know how to add new photos from IPhoto to the list of photos in after you've already started creating the book?
Thanks!
When choosing your book design you'll see the option to choose the book
type and theme. You can also change the theme or type once you've
started the book.
This article explains how to change the theme and ensure that no data
is lost:

Purchase Photo Book Question

I created a photo book on Aperture 2 back in 2010 and now want to order another copy. When I clicked BUY BOOK, Aperture 2 informed me that I could only purchase books with Aperture 3. Is there a way to purchase a photo book made in Aperture 2 without having to purchase Aperture 3? I don't want to upgrade because I have since switched to Adobe LR.

What is the exact error message?
The Apple Support page is still listing Aperture 2 for buying books, see this link:
Apple Photo Services: Product line details for books, cards, and calendars
If you have iPhoto '09 or '11, you could also try to recreate your book in iPhoto, to order a printed book from Apple.

I am very new to Macs and iPhoto so this may be an idiot's question, but I have just created my first photo book and want to buy it, but the "buy book" button is not highlighted and when I click it nothing happens. Is there some step I am missing? Thanks!

I have now recently downloaded 10.0.2 which is confusing in itself, as, as far as I can ascertain that is actually version 11, but I'm not even sure about that.
Version 10.0.2 is the newest version and the successor to GarageBand '11 (version 6.0.5).
The '11 is referring to the iLife '11 suit of multimedia application - the older GarageBand was a part of this bundle.
Have a look at Edgar's graphical enhanced manuals, the explain very detailed how things work and why. You can buy them as iBooks from the iBook store or directly from the page:

Large photo book project - lots of questions

I have 680+ pictures I want to put in a Wirebound photo book.
(It's a book of Matchbook covers, arranged by dominant color.)
I have the pictures grouped in folders (according to major color).
Iphoto only seems to import ALL the photos and removes the folders and grouping.
The only grouping I have available is "Last Import", "Last 12 Months" and "Recent" (which are not the pics).
1) Is there any way to maintain the folder structure so I can import the pictures into the photo book in the order I would like?
The autoflow feature doesn't work because it will group all the pics (without folder organization) into the book, organized by name.
3) How can I find out the dimensions of each photo "slot" so I can reduce pictures to fit in the slot without losing some of the image?
For example, since there are so many pictures, I chose the 16 photos/page option but the only layout available is a "square" type slot. Some of the horizontal images (long matchbooks) get chopped off and the image-size slider is already at the smallest setting. So: what's the size for each slot?
4) Isn't there some sort of option where you can just drag the images into the page and iphoto will adapt the layout for the image? (But maintaining the maximum number of pictures on each page/layout?
Any help or insight will be immensely helpful!
Thank you!!
Courtney

Photo slots do not have "dimensions" - they are a ratio - typically square 1x1 or rectangular 4x3 - You can fit a photo to the frame in most layouts by right clicking on the placed photo and selecting fit to frame
Isn't there some sort of option where you can just drag the images into the page and iphoto will adapt the layout for the image? (But maintaining the maximum number of pictures on each page/layout?
In some layouts for some themes the direction of the frame changes with the placed photo - in others it does not - you simply have to experiment to find the ones that do
This write up on iphoto '09 -- http://www.iphotobookthemes.com/pmwiki.php?n=Main.HomePage -- explains some and shows examples of the '09 layouts - in general those are still valid in '11 and there are lots more

Photo Book Quality Questions

I'm currently working on an XL Photo Book using iPhoto 11.
I know iPhoto says I can create a max of 100 pages. I wonder, is this 50 pages double sided or actually 100 pages double sided?
Secondly, I read some older threads about image quality and OT recomending to bump up the DPI to 300 or 400. He mentiond Pref Setter and included links, however, the links no longer work. Where /how can I do this? In addition, am I too late in bumping up the DPI, or can I just continue to create my book and increase the DPI before I actually click "Buy Book"?
Thanks!

100 Pages is 50 double-sided.
The material about the DPI is no longer relevant in iPhoto 11.

TD

Photo Book purchase question please help!

Ok well I made my photo book but I don't know how much it will cost to buy it. Is it always the same price? Or will it tell you after you're finished making you're photo book. Also when I am finished with my photo book and I hit "Buy Book" will it buy it right away? Or will it say blah blah blah this is how much it will cost ok? Do you agree? Are you sure? Enter information PLEASE HELP

I just received my first IPhoto book. It is fabulous, by the way. When you begin the book, you can choose size and type and get pricing information. If you click on the layout/page view in the thumbnails above the book pages, you can see exactly how may pages you are using as you work. When you are finished, you are given the exact price with shipping information. Put in your credit card info and you're done. In the last week, I completed 6 books, all different sizes. These were the first I'd ever done and while I deleted the start a few times, it was pretty easy once I discovered the layout/page view. Hope this helps

IPhoto 7.1.5 on 10.6.8 Trying to Buy a Photo book

Hi,
I have been reading other discussion threads and I can't find exactly my question. I have iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5 on Mac OS X version 10.6.8. Everything was fine until I got the iPhone 5 and needed to update iTunes. I found I needed to update to at least Snow Leopard, so I did that and figured everything was fine now. That was until I made a photo book and tried to purchase it. Unfortunately, I got the following error message: We apologize for the inconvenience, but the ability to order books, cards, calendars and prints is no longer supported in iPhoto 7. Please upgrade to a newer version of iPhoto to order these products.
So, I have read a few posts that say I need to buy iLife, but I would never use any of the apps except iPhoto, so I would like to save myself the money of buying things I won't need. I also did a search and it looks like I can download a bunch of updates here: http://support.apple.com/downloads#iphoto
My question is, can I go update by update on this site without ruining my current iphoto events and projects? I have about 15,00 items in 243 events and I would hate for them all to get ruined.
Thank you so much for any help! I am desperate and would love my photo book.

It isn't possible to get a version of iPhoto which is new enough just through the downloadable updaters. You need to either buy an iLife DVD or upgrade the computer to Mavericks and get the Mac App Store version.

I created a book in iBooks Author using the Photo Book template. When I rotate to portrait orientation, the photo or widget disappears and a table of contents appears with only the interactive media showing.

Thanx for the prompt response, KT. I have indeed seen that thread, only just after I posted the question.
I have spent hours on the phone with what I now know is a call center in Texas on this question.
I think Apple could be a little more "hands on" with iBooks Author users, and it should also be pointed out that landscape photos will not display in portrait mode.
In my case, I used gallery widgets to display vertical photos, since they look better in portrait mode.
But instead of simply rotating, the page disappears and a TOC of interactive media appears. The gallery behaves as expected when tapped. This is not what I expected, but since the gallery works, I can live with it.
Right now I have "tickets" telling me to "fix" this "problem or to disable portrait mode.
I don't want to disable portrait mode.
Will Apple accept the books if I tell them this is not an "error?"

Why can't I change an iPhoto '11 (9.4.2) photo book layout without the page going blank?

When working on a photo book, I can initially drag and drop photos into the predetermined photobook layout designs without any problems. But when I want to change one of the pages from the iPhoto predetermined layout (e.g. from a 2 photo layout to a 4 photo layout) the page will go blank (by that I mean it will only have the background design) and will no longer allow me to add photos to the page, or choose a text only layout, or any layout other than a blank background design. I can delete the page which won't let me add photos anymore, and then add a new page which will, but the page layout is again a predetermined layout, which I want to change (e.g. a 2 photo layout, when I want a 4 photo layout).
As stated in the question, I'm running iPhoto '11 version 9.4.2, updated via the App Store in November 2012. I'm running the program on a 2011 iMac, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3, with OSX (10.8.2).
Please help.

Sound like you're trying to drag a photo to a folder which will automatically create a new album in that folder titled "Untitled". Make sure it's an album and not a folder you're trying to drag to.

Hi shldr2thewheel,
it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
Sincerely in need of help once again,
Kim

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:

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.

Creating a photo book with captions

I am using Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3 running on Windows. I have created a collection of photos that I want to have printed as an album. I want to maintain the captions and order that I have already set. My preference would be to do this on my desktop rather than uploading them to a service like Snapfish or Kodak Gallery (the upload process is nightmarish and it doesn't appear to maintain the captions). Any suggestions?
Ideally I would like to find a templated tool that would allow me to import my collection with its captions. Then I would send it to Snapfish or Kodak Gallery or Lulu for printing. Maybe I've missed something, but all of those folks seem to want me to upload my photos and then template the book on their site, adding captions manually. This is nuts, particularly if I've already done the work to add captions in Photoshop Album.
As a related question, is there some standard for tagging and captions for photos or does Photoshop Album use some proprietary method?

I can see the caption when I upload the photo to Kodak Gallery, but it doesn't show up when I place it in the photo book. I have a question in to their support team but I still wonder if anyone has had any luck making photo books with the captions created in Photoshop Album Starter.
And the bigger question is: what if I don't want to upload my photos? What if I'd rather make the book on my desktop? Is there any way to do that?

Hi DG.
The easiest way to copy an HP Photo Creations project to another computer is to click the Share button. That will upload the project to the Web and give you a link you can paste into an email. Clicking the link on the other computer allows you to download the project and personalize it. This quick video shows the process. (The screen looks slightly different now, but the concept is the same.)
Another way to share a project is copy the project folder to a thumb drive. Look in Documents/HP Photo Creations/My Things to find your saved projects.
Our customer support team would be happy to walk you through the process. Contact them at [email protected]
Hope this helps,
