Will Book Photos match what is on my screen?

I'm a bit concerned that my printed book will not match the images as they appear on my monitor.
ANy ideas people?
Thanks in advance!

Johnathan:
I all depends on how you have your monitor calibrated and the color profile used in the photos. And you level or expectation. What has worked for me is I've calibrated my monitor to the sRGB color profile at a gamma of 2.2. My photos are from a Canon which embed the Canon camera profile that's very close to sRGB. If I do any editing with Photoshop I have PS embed the sRGB profile during the editing. I've been happy with the books I've ordered. But, remember, these were family activity books and our expectations are not like I'd have if I was trying to create a professional portfolio or a book for commercial use. They looked good to me. With reasonable care you should get what you want.
Users have reported bad reproductions but those tend to be a "one-of" type of error.
Do you Twango?
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How do I get prints to match what appears on my screen?

    I have noticed that my prints from online printing services (Ofoto, Shutterfly, Walmart, etc) all seem a bit darker than my prints appear on screen. I use Photoshop CS and sometimes iPhoto for editing, and the pictures look the same in those two programs. I have iPhoto set to add ColorSync profile, and I have Photoshop set to embed sRGB color profile.
    Does the monitor calibration have anything to do with this? I mean, when I am making adjustments in Photoshop, I want my print to look like what I am seeing on the screen. The best I have been able to do is change my monitor calibration to gamma 2.2, which darkens the screen, but this seems to match my prints better. Is the best solution...... and is anyone else noticing this??
    I mostly use my pictures for digital slideshows on DVDs, put I do want to be able to order prints also.
    Thanks for the help.....

    Hi Don,
    If you are using an online printing service, they will 'auto adjust' your prints unless you indicate otherwise. Most, if not all, online photo processing will have a place where you can check off or select 'no auto adjust', otherwise their computers take over and try to adjust or average your digital images before printing. I have sometimes forgotten to check this off, and prints usually come back 'muddied or slightly foggy' looking with lower contrast and brightness.
    Check with your service, I am quite sure they can turn off any type of 'auto adjustments'... good luck, Rick

  • Book photos don't match monitor

    My wife and I have created several books and calendars, and until the latest round have been very pleased. The first books we made on our 15" G4 Powerbook and the printed results were very close to what we saw on our monitor.
    We have since moved on to desktop iMacs and have found that the photos now print several shades darker than what we're seeing on screen.
    Can anyone give us any advice on how to adjust our monitors to more closely match what we will be getting back from Apple?

    My first Apple book had a decided green tint even though I'd previously calibrated the monitor. I made the 'preferences' changes before submitting my second book and it came back with excellent color.
    There could be several reasons for this…
    your calibration and the resulting profile might have been somewhat off and the sRGB profile was after all closer to the characteristics of the monitor.
    But I doubt, you would see such drastic differences as you experienced. Most likely you just received a poor print – that happens occasionally and Apple is very good at sorting out those issues.
    Also, what's the ominous sounding *very good reason* it's hidden?
    The sRGB profile is a standardised profile and does not reflect how your or any other monitor displays colours. Some monitors have a wider, some have a narrower colour range than sRGB while some might be very close. If you use sRGB for the monitor profile, results will be hit and miss. That’s why I wouldn’t recommend using it and also why it’s hidden in the prefs.
    If you don’t feel comfortable to perform a calibration, using either soft- or hardware, just select the default monitor profile.

  • Getting the photos I print to match what they look like on my screen.

    I'm having a hard time getting the photos I print to match what they look like on my screen.  I even bought a monitor calibrator and tried changing  my color settings in Photoshop and it hasn't seemed to help.  The pictures even look different when I pull them up in The ROES program I use to order prints from.  The pictures come out really dull compared to what they look like in Photoshop.  Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to fix this?

    There are a couple of things to note here right away.
    To get a good screen to print match the first consideration is the monitor brightness and white point temperature. The goal is a visual match to paper white.
    The calibrator will help you set this up. Spend some time to find the right settings, because it will depend on the ambient light and your whole working environment. That includes the Photoshop UI - if you use the now default dark UI, images will appear brighter than in the old light UI.
    The second thing to note is that you don't change any Photoshop color settings. The calibration and profiling is all handled automatically, once you found the right settings for white point. Just let the calibration software run through and do its thing, done. The display profile is set up as system default and Photoshop finds it there.
    Once you have a correct display of the file, you then need a correctly color managed print pipeline. If both are accurate, they will match.

    No, your Yahoo account is not in iCloud (which only handles iCloud mail), it is in Yahoo, and the Yahoo mail account is on your iPad.
    But the MacBook Pro will have none of it! I write this question now as I fear that I will be totally demented very soon and unable to formulate my thoughts clearly!
    Get the correct settings for your account from Yahoo and set it up manually.
    By the way, I also find the "password" issue problematical. It seems Apple want my Apple password rather than my eMail password. All very confusing.
    That would depend on what you are trying to do.

  • Count and size of photos in iTunes does not match what is on my iPhone

    I have 2 different iPhone 6 phones. For each of them, the number of photos on the phone does not match the number of photos shown in iTunes. For example, one of my iPhones has fewer than 400 photos; however, when I connect the phone to iTunes on my computer, the usage bar at the bottom shows that there are more than 2500 photos accounting for 2.5GB. I suspect that iTunes is including photos that I have deleted from my phone. Are the additional 2100 "phantom photos" actually taking up space on my phone, and what can I do to make iTunes match what is actually on my phone?

    Why do you think that? You can create printed Books in Aperture with similar themes as in iPhoto, and with more options to create custom themes on your own.
    See this page - http://www.apple.com/aperture/what-is.html - scroll down to see the example books.
    But if you prefer the iPhoto themes and layout, you can open your Aperture library in iPhoto, if you have both the current version of iPhoto and Aperture. Simply use the command "File > Open Library in iPhoto" and you can create your book in iPhoto.
    And switch back to Aperture by using the command "File > Open Library in  Aperture".

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

    Sea water and electronics don't mix.  The salinity fries the internal circuitry of the phone. Your phone is toast.
    Certainly the user of any device which can be lost, stolen, or dropped in the sea would be smart enough to have had the data backed up, rght?  Your photos and numbers should be safely backed up on your computer or in the cloud.
    If you didn't do this, there's no way to recover those data now.  Backups are meant to be done BEFORE disaster strikes, not after.

  • After years of no problems I can't print photos. When I select print I get the message "There are no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed this feature will be unavailable.  What are themes? How do I install them?

    After years of no problems I sddenly can't print photos. When I select print I get the message "There are no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed this feature will be unavailable.  What are themes? How do I install them? Why has this problem suddenly arisen?

    Re-installing does not affect your Library in any way. You don't delete it, only the app.
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.
