WOW, think I just completed the Photobook for Mom.

She loved last years I decided to make mom another one (the hint from mom several times helped w/ my decision as well). Wow, 48 Pages and I believe I'm done. I might be able to take out a page or two. I might even need to move around a few photos after the wife inspects it. I pretty much have several photos and photo groupings from December 2005 through December 2006.

I might make a generic soft cover book (small I think) for my sister and my wife's oldest sister and keep one for us. However, next thing I know I'll be giving everyone in the family one and she has 5 siblings, I have 1 and then there is the aunts...

I'll probably order my wife a copy of the large book as well.

I'm still using iPhoto 2005 and wonder what iPhoto 2007 will bring us.

All I have to say is that iPhoto and these books have made my last two years very very easy to shop for my mom. My late mother in law (this is going to be a sad year) just loved it. She couldn't believe that I made it for her. I sure wish I could of made her another one this year.

If you don't know what to get Mom, Dad or any relative iPhoto books is your answer.

If you are still using iPhoto 5, you need to do this before sending:

download free app called Pref Setter
quit iPhoto
run Pref Setter
search for iPhoto
this will show you the iPhoto plist settings
change
BookTargetImageDPI
BookTargetMediumImageDPI

to 300 instead of 150

Save.
Relaunch iPhoto.

This will make your photobooks print at 300dpi instead of 150 dpi which is the default in iPhoto 5.

I think I did this last year. Is there somewhere I can check to verify that it's still set to 300 dpi? I think last year I had to do this manually. Any help reminding me would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I'd just use Pref Setter, you'll see all the settings in there. I just did this last night because I'm on version 5 still too.
