Making Changes to Your Book
You can try a different theme for your book, add and rearrange photos, and edit text in
your book. To find out how to make even more changes to your book, see the topics in
iPhoto Help.
To change the theme of your book:
1
Click to select the book whose theme you want to change.
2
Click the Themes button in the toolbar.
3
Select a theme for your book from the scrolling themes list.
You can also change the type of book in this dialog. Choose an option (hardcover,
softcover, or wirebound softcover) from the Book Type pop-up menu.
4
Click Choose.
It’s a good idea to decide on a theme before adding text to a book layout. If you add
custom text to a book layout and then change themes, you may lose your text.
If you chose a hardcover book and want photos to be printed on only one side of the
book’s pages, click the Settings button and deselect the “Double-sided pages”
checkbox in the dialog.
Letting iPhoto Design Your Book for You
