Create and Order a 2019 Calendar in Apple Photos App with the Mimeo Photos Project Extension

Now that Apple has removed the ability to create and print calendars from it's Photos App, you can now Create and Order a 2019 Calendar in Apple Photos App with the Mimeo Photos Project Extension.

Mimeo was the company that Apple used to print calendars within the Photos App, so not much has changed.

INSTALL
Install the extension to the Photos app via the link above, then use it to create a new calendar.

DRAG
You have to have your photos on the Photos app, then drag them in to your Calendar project.



OPEN AND CREATE
Open the new calendar project and create your calendar months with one or more photos per month. If your photo gets a red exclamation point, that's the app telling your that the photo doesn't have a high enough resolution to print. In that case, you can choose another photo, or reduce it's size on the page, or choose more than one photo on the page, thereby reducing it's size.



ADD EVENTS
In this step, you need to add events like birthdays and anniversaries by hand, one at a time. IN the old app, it imported your events from your Apple Calendar. Not anymore. It would be nice if you could easily add them all in the events sidebar, but you are required to open each month, double click on the day, then add your even in a pop up box. This needs to be streamlined.

ORDER
Click the button to order a calendar for $19.99. Once in the order entry screen you add shipping details and then you can increase your quantity if you want.

I'm excited to continue to have this calendar creation feature available from Apple. Last year I tried a few other options the the size was too small, and the paper quality wasn't as good. One thing to note, I received immediate answers to my questions via messaging with Mimeo Photos product support.

HAPPY 2019!

My Toronto Dioramas will be shown at the hallway gallery Holiday Art Salon, December 6 - 24.

It's my first gallery show. I'm excited.

Here are my Toronto Dioramas that are going to be shown in the gallery:



They are available in my imagekind store where you can buy prints, posters, framed prints and canvas prints.

Note: These photos were shot with an Olympus PEN E-PM1 given to me by Olympus.

This is a cool new badge creator I just found.

Now Selling My Photos on ImageKind

Imagekind and Flickr have teamed up to allow you to sell your photos online. Based on early reports, people think it's great. You get to keep 100% of the profit on your photos.

Browse my new photo gallery at ImageKind.

Notes on my experience when setting up my imagekind gallery:

1. The ability to browse your flickr photos from within imagekind is well integrated, but I was only able to view 50 out of 121 pages of flickr photos.

2. Browsing of flickr sets is a nice feature.

3. Ability to change % markup across all photos is nice.

4. When adding photos to an existing gallery, there's no indication of how many more you can add.

5. I'd like to have an imagekind link automatically added to my photos over on flickr on those that are now for sale.

6. It would be nice to have each image default to being a 'photograph'.

7. When editing an image description it would be nice if you could have a next button so you could go directly to the next photo in the gallery for editing instead of having to press save, then select the next photo.
