how do I custom change a photo size on a i photo book page, and is there a full custom design option?
iMac, iOS 9.3.1
What version of iPhoto and system are you running?
Also what are you wanting to change, the image size or the frame size on the book's page?
I have the 2013 version, I know how to change both the frame size and the image size at this time. My question now is - is there a full design mode where I can move the suggested image box or text position?
You know that you can no longer order books or other print material from Apple when using iPhoto, right?
And no, it's template based not a design app. You can adjust things a little is all.
thank god you told me this. do you have an alternate source for this kind of product?
