Yearbooks Desktop not yet compatible with Mac Yosemite Update

Posted by: admin In: Uncategorized 29 Oct 2014 Comments: 0

Earlier this month, Apple released the Yosemite update for Macintosh. Unfortunately, some of the plug ins that we use in Yearbooks Desktop do not yet work with this newest OS. The program loads up properly, but crashes when you try to add an image to a page (Backgrounds, covers, candids, and clipart are affected).

We are currently awaiting an update from our vendor which should resolve the problem. Once we get the update, we’ll need another week to implement it and test that it works. Once it’s past our QA phase, we’ll roll out a Mac Update for our Yearbooks users.

If you are currently running the Mac version of Yearbooks Desktop, we advise that you hold up on updating your mac to Yosemite until we have released our update. If you do update to Yosemite, you’ll need to wait for our update to be released later this season before you can resume work on your Yearbook projects.

Templates are a very effective tool that you can use to make your book look professionally designed.  We spent part of our development season working on templates, so now they look more professional, and are easier to use than  ever.  Coupled with our cropping tool, you can now crop each image to fit perfectly into your template on its way in.  Alternately, use the auto flow template wizard to flow templates to multiple pages, and automatically populate them with your favorite candid images.

 

Compromise Reached over Laser Cat Yearbook Photo

Draven Rodriguez made national headlines this month when he released a photo he wanted as his senior portrait for his high school’s yearbook.

The image is of Rodriguez holding his cat, Mr. Bigglesworth, accompanied by blue and pink lasers. And it’s pretty unique.

He started a petition drive with the goal of getting 500 signatures. He has received 7,408 signatures on ipetitions.com.

School district spokeswoman Karen Corona told USA TODAY Network via e-mail in early September that it “would not be acceptable for the senior portrait section.” And students do not have to have an image in that section. But it could go elsewhere in the yearbook.

The high school in Schenectady, N.Y., reached a compromise last week.CatPhoto2_Sized

His principal, Diane Wilkinson, would also appear in the photo with their animals, and the photo will appear on the principal’s page in the yearbook, the Daily Gazette said.

“The school and I have worked out a compromise we’re all happy with. It’ll be in there, just not in the senior section,” Rodriguez wrote on his petition page website.

Both animals are rescue pets. The principal’s dog’s name is Vivian, the photographer, Vincent Giordano, said, and the goal is to raise awareness of rescue animals through the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
