Web Preview of Aperture Book

Is there any way to get a book designed in Aperture on to a web page that people can 'flick through' (i.e. use their mouse to turn the pages)?
I guess there is a way, but the question is what is the easiest way?
Can anyone recommend good javascript templates for the book display?

I do not know how to do it but a search on Google with Flip Book PDF will give you many links.
On the other hand, have you seen this page ? It is an excellent review of Aperture Large books
http://bergsmavisuals.com/blog/apple-aperture/books/aperture-3-extra-large-book- review/
and there is a preview of one of his books here:
http://matthewbergsma.com/weddings/bovenkamp/book/
Hope this will help.
I you find how to do it, I'll be really interested.

Book printing and web exporting from Aperture without .mac account

can I export web logs and have apple books made without a .mac account?

A .Mac account is not required to order iPhoto or Aperture books from Apple or to publish an Aperture gallery to the Internet; in the second case, you will need a webserver to put the gallery on.

Aperture book text placement moves on preview??

I'm running Aperture 3.1.1, made my first book. A large size, hardcover with dust jacket. Went to buy the book and did the preview of it. I have two lines of text on the cover, Title and Subtitle. They are both placed in their default location however when I do a preview of the book before you go to buy it, both lines of text move and are in different locations to the dust jacket and cover.
Apple's print people recommended I remove the .plist file which I did and it made no difference. I have tried everything! The only thing that seems to work is totally reset the page and go with it - but what's the point of that, I'm supposed to be able to customise the pages aren't I?
Any help would be really appreciated. I've searched the forums but can't find any problems similar!

Here is the easy way....
Add a NEW text box. When the text box is selected the ''Set Text Style" button is enabled, so click on it and select the DUST JACKET COVER TITLE. Now delete all the text within the text box so that all is left are spaces (or it's empty).
Now, when you produce the book, the soft cover will have what ever is in this box (which means nothing if you deleted all the characters).
The other choices are SOFT COVER TITLE and COVER TITLE.
Using a combination of these choices you can control what titles appear and which don't.

TS3946 Aperture Book: images look fine in Aperture but not in PDF preview. OS 10.9, Aperture 3.4.5

Aperture 3.4.5, OS 10.9. When making a PDF prior to ordering a book, I note that images look fine within Aperture book module, but about 10 out of 100 images look terrible in the PDF. Shall I ignore this and go ahead and order the book?

Hi,
Strangely I'm now having exactly the same problem all of a sudden. I've been building the book for about a month now (I've made about 6 before without any trouble) and along the way have been producing a pdf of the book to see how it will look. Yesterday I noticed some of the images seemed to have lost colour when looking at the pdf version and then today, many pictures all of a sudden look exactly like the example you've supplied above.
I've tried shutting down my imac and restarting thinking it was a memory issue, have checked if I had any filters activated (which I don't and I haven't used filters in books before either), have tried repairing then rebuilding aperture, copying the book to a new library, new location, opening on a different mac and then printing again but none of this had any positive effect.
So from what I understand from your last post, the workaround you came up with was to revert to the original of each image that had the problem and then make the adjustments again?

Slow Web Export in Aperture 1.5.1

I feel a little crazy for asking this, but it seems like web exports have gotten significantly slower since I upgraded to Aperture 1.5.1. I cannot find anything on my machine that would cause this. Has anyone else experienced this?
-Fletch
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I haven't noticed it being slower in v1.5.1 than previously. That said it's too slow and slower than it should be. My Mac Pro can knock out files as fast as 18 high res. files per minute (~90mb each. from 1DsM2) when I'm batching but web galleries tend to hover around 3 files per minute (2-6 overall). That's much too slow and would be a nightmare on location if you have to generate a web gallery from your laptop of a few hundred files.
Aperture needs to have an option to generate the web galleries from the thumbnails it creates (which I think fit within 1000 px square - more than enough for most web galleries) or from previews rather than from the raw files. This would speed things up considerably.
I haven't been using previews, I turned them off, so you might be able to use them for that if your referenced files are off-line, but it would still be nice to have the option to generate web galleries from Aperture's built thumbnails or the previews from an Aperture library or from referenced files.

How can I edit lightroom 5 smart previews on mac book pro (mbp) when the lightroom 5 master image files are on my external hard drive is disconnected from the mbp

How can I edit lightroom 5 smart previews on mac book pro (mbp) when the lightroom 5 master image files are on my external hard drive is disconnected from the mbp? So far when I try to disconnect the external HD from the mbp, I get the following pop up window: The disk "external hard drive A" couldn't be ejected because "Lightroom" is using it. Quit that application and try to eject this disk again. When I do that and restart Lightroom 5, the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom - Select Catalog screen pops up but doesn't list my external hard drive A as a choice.
I've reviewed Adobe's Lightroom Help | Smart Previews Lightroom 5 web page and still haven't been able to figure what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

Your internal HDD. by default, is named 'Macintosh HD'. From what information you supplied, it looks like there is already a Lightroom catalog installed on you local (internal) HDD using the standard naming convention Adobe uses as well as a Lightroom catalog on your external drive which you created. To be sure of which catalog Lightroom is loading when it starts up, To do this, start Lightroom as you normally would. After it starts, select the Lightroom menu item, then select the Catalog Preferences item and finally, navigate to the General tab. The Location information will tell you exactly what catalog Lightroom is opening by default. This will likely be the Photography Mac Book Pro Versions catalog on your external HDD. Once that is confirmed, you are ready to proceed. As an additional test/verification, you can shut down Lightroom and, this time, start Lightroom while holding down the ALT/OPTION key. This will cause Lightroom to pause and display a screen which will allow you to chose a different catalog to open. Navigate to the /Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom folder and select the Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat file. When Lightroom comes up, there should be no previews or folders as this catalog should be empty. Now you can be certain which catalog is being used and which catalog has all your data and you are ready to migrate your current catalog. Shut down Lightroom.
To migrate your current catalog, use Finder to locate your Photography Mac Book Pro Versions folder on your external drive. Select the folder and select COPY from the context menu. Next, use Finder to navigate to the /Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom folder on you internal HDD. You can start at the Macintosh HD level and work your way down by opening each level (Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures). Select the /Pictures folder and then select PASTE... from the context menu. When the COPY/PASTE is complete, you should see the following files on the Macintosh HD:
Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom/ and
Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions
The Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom folder will contain the empty default catalog the Adobe created when Lightroom was installed and Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions will contain a copy of the catalog you created on your external HDD.
You are almost done now. Make sure your external drive is still attached for this step. Restart Lightroom using the ALT/OPTION key again. When the Select Catalog screen appears, select the Choose a Different Catalog button (lower left side). When you do, a Finder window will open to allow you to navigate to a catalog of your choosing. Navigate to Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions and select the file Photography Mac Book Pro Version.lrcat. This is the copy you just created. Select the Open button and Lightroom should start. You should see all of your previews and settings just as before. Also, in the left hand panel, all of your folder should show up and none of them should be dimmed and none of your previews should display a small exclamation point badge. Either a dimmed folder name or an exclamation point badge indicates that Lightroom can't find the associated image file. If everything looks good, go to the Lightroom menu, select Preferences and then select the General tab. Under Default Catalog, select an option to either load the LAST catalog opened or select the Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions catalog from the drop down. Shut down Lightroom and then restart it normally. This time, when Lightroom starts, you should be viewing the new copy of your catalog. You can confirm this by looking at the General tab on the Catalog Preferences screen (Lightroom/Catalog Preferences menu items). Shut down Lightroom once again and this time, eject your external drive before restarting. This time, your folders in the left hand panel will be dimmed but you should be able to work with your smart previews. If Lightroom should display a Select Catalog screen with the external drive detached, double check your settings as it indicates Lightroom is still looking at the copy of the catalog on the external drive rather than the new copy you made.
Finally, if you are seeing dimmed folders and/or exclamation point badges with the external drive attached, this indicates a problem. You can select any folder and select Update Folder Location from the context menu. This will allow you to navigate to the copy on the external drive and select it. Lightroom will then update the catalog (select to synchronize the content). This will not only clear the dimmed folder problem but also remove the exclamation point badges for all photos in that missing folder. However, it may indicate that not all went well with the copy of the catalog so make sure to verify all went well. You can use the Get Info option on the two folders. You should see the same number of files/folders for both the copy on the internal drive as well as on the external drive but you can't rely on the byte count because of the possibility of differences between the geometry of the two drives. Hope this all helps!

Aperture book quality - worse than before?

Hello everyone,
My photo studio has been using Aperture for 8 months now and we are very happy with it. We love the organization, web output, etc. We also LOVE the book design layouts, but the quality of the book printing has been degrading over that past few months.
The first books we printed with Apple (around Nov/Dec 2006) were great, then about 3 months ago, we noticed the labels on the hardcover books went down in qulaity (almost like they were just using a color laser printer), and today we received five books in the mail and the quality is terrible. Also, two of the books have the "Made on a Mac" page in the back (like iPhoto).
It seemed to me (since I have had books printed by both Aperture & iPhoto) that the older Aperture books were of higher quality than the iPhoto books. Now, it seems as though they are one-in-the-same and our studio cannot have this lower quality book - it is not up to our standards.
I would gladly use another manufacturer, but every other design software out there for each respective company is terrible and takes three times as long for us to design a single book. I LOVE the integration of the books in Aperture and it makes our timeline two weeks shorter with our clients and that is what sets us apart from other studios in this town.
Has anyone else had these problems or noticed the change/degridation in the quality of the books?
Thanks!

C'mon Apple,
There is no way you don't know that the quality of your "sticker" covers is horrible. Maybe when you first launched your book service, but it has now been years. I just received three books, and all three have tacky, peeling front stickers.
Please give us an alternative, even if it costs more, that allows us to show our work with pride. After spending thousands and thousands on computers, software, cameras, lenses, etc., the cover of the books drags that first impression into the ground.
Thanks!

Iphoto 08 vs aperture book templates

I too wanted to use the new book template from iphoto 08... But I can't get this accomplished... There should be an easy way to import / export (depending on which program) to use the new book templates from iphoto 08 into Aperture. This release of iphoto 08 without acknowleging us Aperture users is in my view a horrible mistake and the Apple executives should be embarrassed.

One problem I am having is that if you browse the Aperture library using iPhoto 08 you can certainly import the previews but they are in fact not large enough/high quality enough to use for book or calendar printing. I use high qual previews in Aperture (9 out of 10) at large sizes and I still get the exclamation point when I import into iPhoto -- the only way I can get it to work properly is to export to the desktop the full-size versions, then import those into iPhoto. Not excatly seamless! Am I missing something that will make this work better? I mean, what is the point of sharing Previews if the Previews won't work well enough for printing?

How about "Web Previewer"?

Hi!
I want to try the "web previewer" in Form 6.0, but when I click the "Run Form Web" button in Form Layout Builder, nothing happens.
From a book "Oracle Developer Advanced Forms & Reports", page 48, it says "The web previewer is implemented through a separate program ifweb60.exe", but I can not find this program on disk (or CD). The book also confirms the program is availabe on NT, I am using NT.
Anyone have some ideas?
Thanks in advance!
My software are:
Win NT 4, OS patch 6.
Oracle Developer 6. (Forms [32 Bit] Version 6.0.5.0.2 )
Database is 8i (8.1.5.0.0)
null

You require the Oracle Developer Server in order to run the Forms on Web as well as client server. If you have just Oracle Developer, then Forms will run only as client server applications and will not have the Web Component required to run Web Forms.
Happy New Year !!

Books photo WYSIWYG in Book Preview vs. Book pages

my phtos appear differently in the book preview under the “order book” section vs how they appear on the book pages in the program..
the differences are subtle..but very important..colors brightness, clarity etc...
my basic question is...which is more accurate...more WYSIWG....the appearance on the book preview pages...or the appearance on the Aperture
book pages in the “create a book’ section..
Thank you very much,
Michael

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That feature only works in a one of the themes, Folio. There were others in iPhoto 6 like Yearbook that had that feature but those are no longer available.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Can you turn off the automatic guide grids in Aperture books?

Can you turn off the automatic guide grids in Aperture books?

Yes you can do this - either the way you're already doing it by editing the published content or by changing the source code in the template itself.
I won't get into the details here cuz I have all this documented here:
http://web.mac.com/sboben/iWeb/11Mystics/
See the iWeb Templates page. In short, what you have to do is show package contents for the iWeb app, open the Resources folder, open the .lproj folder for YOUR language, likely english, open the Templates folder and then one by one, for each page-type folder you find in there, you have to show package contents for your chosen template, unzip the index.xml.gz files, find the hyperlink settings in the XML, turn off the underline setting, save the file again and rezip it. Then any NEW pages you build will not contain underlined links. It sounds worse than it is.
If you tell me which template you're using, I'll go look in the file and tell you how to turn the underline code OFF. But you should read my instructions at my site before you even try to do this - I outline some things you should know before even opening up those XML files.

Aperture books

Hi,
I'm doing my first aperture book. It's 80 pages and when I go to Buy, it says i have one text field with no text. I've been looking throught the book numerous times and I can't see it. My question is, will the text box show when the book is printed even though there is no text in it?
Also, does anybody know how long it takes from sending to receiving a book here in US.
Also, is there a good source of hints tips etc. on preparing a book?
Thank you.
John

**** Jon,
My question is, will the text box show when the book is printed even though there is no text in it?
Before you order the book, press the "Print" button and select "PDF" -> "Save as PDF". Then carefully inspect the pdf-file with "Preview", and you will see exactly what you will get, when you order your book,
I found, that all empty text fields have been suppressed when printing, but I would not like to guarantee that.
Regards
Léonie
P.S. I don't know how long printing in the US will take, in Germany I usually wait for about three work days.

How do I use metadata text box in Aperture Book

When I hit the button for a text box, I get a text box. Likewise for a new photo box. What I really want is a metadata text box and when I hit that button nothing happens. I have tried it with a photo selected and on a blank page.
How do I use the metadata text box in Aperture books? BTW I am working on a small sized soft cover book.
Powerbook G4 1.5 Mac OS X (10.3.6)

Do you have a copy of Illustrator installed?
Then just begin at page 1, read it and practice what you read. Step by step.
If you don't understand parts of it, dive into the manual as well or ask a question in this forum. But mind that not everybody has a copy of the Classroom in a book. So you need to ask your questions precisely and post screenshots of your artwork.

Aperture book copyright question!

Hey...I was wondering if it would be allowed to make Aperture books and resell them....obviously if I do not own the copyright then I a cannot...but let's say I take a bunch of pics of my hometown and make a book and ask Apple for copies of this book...would I be allowed to sell it then?

Your images, your work, your creation -> your copyright. Aperture is just a tool and the printing service is just a service. If you write a novel using Microsoft Word, you still own the copyright and Microsoft has no rights over your work, no matter how many fancy fonts and formatting features you use. Aperture is no different.
I'm sure Apple would love you to sell as many copies as you can - especially if you are using their printing service. At worst, they sell more printing services to you as you buy more books. At best, your customers are so impressed that they use Aperture or iPhoto to print books themselves, and Apple sells lots more books.

Why can't i preview a photo book in iphoto 9?

I am unable to preview a photo book I created in iphoto 9. I am currently running snow leopard. I didn't have a problem until I upgraded my OS from tiger to snow leopard and upgraded to Iphoto 9. Iphoto always crashes on page two when assembling for either a preview or to buy a book. Is there any way to stop this from happening? I am beginning to think apple has gotten very sloppy on their "upgrades" as many people are running into various problems every single time the OS changes.

Other's have experienced the same problem and booting into Safe Mode allowed them to preview the book and order a copy. Why, don't know but if it works for you send a report to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html describing the problem and the workaround.
