Q: Low Quality Warning when printing Calendar in iPhoto 11.

Does anyone know why the Low Quality Warning no longer appears and how I can check potential print quality? Just received my Calendar order with 3 very poor quality images and v disappointed. Had no idea or I would have excluded them. In previous years the Warning always used to appear...

MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

    You are right. I also do not see any low-quality warnings on book pages, when I add low resolution photos.

    The picture with the lion's head has only a pixelsize of 446x296 and clearly should give a low quality warning on the book page, all jpegs.

    I am testing in iPhoto 9.5.1 in MacOS X 10.9.1. What is your iPhoto version and your image format?

     

    Edit: When I use the same photos in a book inAperture the warning icon will appear, but only after pressing "Purchase", sign into the print store with my appleID, then selecting "Preview Book". That forced the warning triangles to show in Aperture.

     

    Have you previewed your book before ordering it?
