iPhoto The page layout used for a book page determines the number of photos on the page, if the page has a map, if the page is blank, or if the page spans both pages of the page spread. If you want to change the number of photo frames on a book page, change the book page’s layout. After changing the page layout, you can add photos to the photo frames.
To add a photo to a photo frame:
Double-click the page you want to add a photo to.
-
Click the Photos button in the toolbar.
-
To locate the photo, do one of the following:
-
Click the Photos button in the toolbar and locate the photo you want in the Photo pane.
Tip: If you can’t find the photo you want, add the photo to your book project using the instructions in the task below. (If you’re working in the iPhoto main window, you can also drag the photo into the project in the Source list.) After you add the photo to your project, the photo appears in the “All Photos in Project” and Unplaced Photos categories.
Locate the photo you want in a photo frame on the page spread.
If you position the pointer over a thumbnail with a checkmark, the page number (or numbers) that the photo is used on appear at the bottom of the photo.
