Picture Book in Photos uses white between photos and infill when using "Fit to Frame" instead of the page border colour as in iPhoto

I have used Picture Book to create a book in iPhoto several times because the line between photos, and the infill when I use "Fit to Frame", is the same colour as the colour chosen for main page borders and text boxes. It is therefore seamless.

I have just tried to use Picture Book in Photos but the line between the photos, and the "Fit to Frame" infill is white, and not same colour I have chosen for the page border. It therefore looks very ugly.

Is it possible to remedy this?

MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

first preview your p=book - Preview a print project in Photos, iPhoto, or Aperture to avoid issues - Apple Support - so you can see exactly what will be printed

You can not modify how the program works so if the problem still exists in the preview tell Apple about the bug - http://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html

Dear Larry,

I have previewed the PDF of the Picture Book I am creating in Photos, as you suggested. There was no change as the problem still existed. I have reported the problem to Apple on the link you have provided me.

Thankyou for providing me the links as it made everything much easier.

Thankyou,

Frances

Try a different theme. It depends on the book theme, if the white line is there or not:

Try a different theme for the book.

The "Contemporary" theme for example does not have the thin while lines.

Thankyou Leonie.

I revisited the book themes in Photos and selected Modern Lines which was suitable as my photos are from scans of old deteriorating film from a half-frame camera. The smaller picture areas were therefore more suitable. The only drawback is the maximum number of pictures per page is four.

However I do look forward to the day when the bug in Picture Book is fixed.

Regards,

Frances

I am getting very disheartened with iphotos these days. Every book forces a white boarder that I hate. I have so many pics and I want more freedome to layout and am now stuck...this is a problem...is there any solution for my layouts NOT to have White ugly boarders???

I need a solution
