Can I use keywords in slideshow?

I am trying to figure out a good way to organize my photos. Some are slides and things I have scanned in, so I use "description" to put a code that lets me know where to find the photo if I need to look it up. I use "title" for what the photo is about (ex-6th birthday party), and use the "date" & "places" to keep those items. I use the "keyword" to keep who is in the photo, and would like to be able to display that on the photos in a slideshow...any way?
If you have any better organizational ideas, I'm open to hearing about them, but I have over 23,000 to fix!
Thanks so much!

I use the "keyword" to keep who is in the photo, and would like to be able to display that on the photos in a slideshow...any way?
No there isn’t I’m afraid. You can show titles, descriptions, titles and description, dates and places but not keywords. You might be best to use the Description box for the names.
so I use "description" to put a code that lets me know where to find the photo if I need to look it up.
Code? Have a look at the possibilities for creating a Smart Album. You can search on all of those and compounds of those too.
My organisation is based heavily around keywords:
I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums exensively. I title the pics broadly.
I keyword on a
Who
What
Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 20k library in a couple of seconds.
So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
File -> New Smart Album
set it to 'All"
title contains Seattle
keyword is mountain
keyword is snow
rating is 5 stars
Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
New Smart Album
Keyword is John
Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
Want only the best pics?
add Rating is greater than 4 stars
The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
Keywording takes time to set up, there's no doubt about it. I use Keyword Manager as it's much more powerful than the inbuilt system, and adds the possibility of nested keywords. So, for instance, if I add John to a photo it also adds 'Family'. Now I can add many keywords to a pic quickly.
In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

Can I use ifile for slideshow from sd card?

Can I use ifile for slideshow from sd card? Without importing.

Hi Abby,
You've posted your question in the Numbers for Mac community, where the topic of discussion is issues and techniques involving the Mac versions of Apple's spreadsheet application Numbers.
From the description on the developer's website, it appears iFile is a file management application for iOS, used for importing and exporting files between computers (Mac or Windows) and iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod). The closest to an appropriate community here would appear to be Using iPad, or one of the other device-baed communities. I've rquested a transfer of your quetion to that community.

How can I use keywords better?

Ok, I've looked everywhere and I can't seem to find anything. I switched to Aperture from iPhoto '09 with keyword Manager installed. The main purpose of which is heirarchial keywords, where I can have a nested keyword, and all the parent keywords get assigned automatically when assigning the nested keyword. I can't for the life of me find a way to mimic this in Aperture, even via 3rd party tools. Someone out there has to know a better way to do this. Help!
For example:
Cars
-Ford
--F-150
Assigning "F-150" will also assign "Ford" and "Cars" to the photo.

Unfortunately there is no way to do this that I have found. In the end I used Typinator (http://www.ergonis.com/products/typinator/) and made shortcuts for common groupings: for instance with my odd habit of shooting doorways and windows (go figure) they will have a common set of
door, architecture, architectural detail,
so I made a Short cut list specific to Aperture and assigned those three to /d so typing that gets me all three.
Obviously you can use the same for people Family name, Individual Name etc. I use the / to prevent accidentally adding the group when typing otherwise.
Then, using the Keyword HUD I found it surprisingly fast to drag and drop the extras.
Closest I could get... Would happily pay for a Keyword Manager for Aperture.

Using keyword "phrases" in podcast xml

Can you use keywords greater than one-word in the keywords section of the xml? For instance, if I wanted to use "science fiction" as a keyword, how exactly do I do that? I'm guessing it would look something like
film, "science fiction", review, criticism, "transformers revenge of the fallen", etc., etc.
Is this correct? Also, do the individual terms (such as "science fiction") count as one keyword or the number of words contained in the term?
Thanks for the help.

Nothing is said about phrases in the Apple Tech Specs: I doubt that using quotes is going to work. AFAIK you can only have single words (to a mximuim of 12) which should be separated by commas as you've done in your example.
Of course it you put in
science, fiction
and someone enters 'science fiction' in the search field then it will look for the two words and you stand a good chance of being found.

Select images using keywords and view slideshow...using what?

I have a library full of jpeg images that were created either using the export command from LR or by editing in Br/Ps and then savedAs jpeg. Now I want to watch slideshows on my monitor (30" Apple HD Cinema Display). Now I have the following Dilemma:
- I can start a Search Command in Bridge and narrow it down to exactly the images I want in my slide show. Then from the View menu select Slideshow. The IQ is terrible. True sharpness is only revealed when zooming in 100% but that's not the idea of a slide show.
- I can also use Apple OS's (Tiger) built-in slide show and start it from the finder. That way I get high quality, fast dissolving slide shows, that are unfortunately limited to the first 100 images in the Finder view. However, in the Finder I cannot select my images using keywords and IPTC info.
So could there be a simple solution to the problems I'm running into with Bridge?
Or could there be a nice viewer for MacOS that features the search option I want and renders good images and dissolve option?
Thanks.

@Ann Shelbourne: Thanks for your reply. I'm hesitant to upgrade to CS4 at this point. That would mean my only option is to look for a jpeg viewer other than Adobe that can select images based on keywords and iptc data. Would you know one that does?
@Ramon G Castaneda: I apologise for being an inexperienced forum visitor. I will take note of your advice and follow the posting instructions.
I checked FAQ's both here and at Adobe, as well as the knowledge base. No results. I also searched the forum.
My setup: MPB dual core Intel, 2GB RAM, 30GB free disk space. Adobe CS3, just updated to Bridge version 2.1.1.9. No improvement at all so far. According to Ann only CS4 will solve the problem.
Thank you.

How can I use my itunes library for iphoto slideshow?

how can I use my itunes library for iphoto slideshow?

Here's a possible workaround:
Create the slideshow in Iphoto and add a theme and music.
Install Picasa and it will include the slideshow on it's indexed list.
Upload the slideshow to PicasaWebAlbums and send the link to anyone you wish.
The music and theme is preserved.
Caveat: My playback pictures appear darker than usual but that could be just lousy photography...:)

Can I create a portfolio slideshow using custom thumbnails?

Hi. After searching the forums and watching several Lynda tutorials, I can't seem find an answer to my specific question. I'm creating a new portfolio website for myself and for the actual portfolio page, I went ahead and created custom thumbnails for each of the pieces I want to display and gave them all the same rollover state (see the screen capture image below of how I'd like them to look when hovered over).
I was expecting to be able to use them as a trigger to get a pop-up slideshow, but it appears the only way to do so in Muse is by using one of the pre-existing widgets. I know you can customize the widgets, but I don't see any way I can use the custom thumbnails I already created. Am I overlooking something or can this simply not be done in Muse and I have to change my thumbnail layout to match what the widgets allow?
And for a secondary question, my portfolio images are all different sizes (depending on the type of design, of course). Do any of the widgets in Muse have the ability to change their size and shape based on the image? Or do I have to make all of the images fit into the same size window?
Thank you!

sebrame Thanks for pointing out the compsition widget! I was able to make the gallery with it, without moving my project to dreamweaver! I don't know about your slideshow widget, but for me it doesn't let me to make the triggers different sizes. If you resize one thumbnail, it will resize all of them at the same time. :/

@sebrame - I'm aware that it's possible with a composition, but adding about 200 images in my case would be very time consuming compared to if the functionality was readily available in the gallery widget..?
RimVai Yeah, last week I actually made it with the composition widget - which was truly more time consuming than the slideshow > lightbox widget. But there're actually some little presets making it just a bit less hard with compositions. (You just have to be extra careful when adding the images.)
You may know these already, but I write them here in case someone who doesn't know happens to read this thread.
You don't need to add all 200 thumbnails one by one. Just place the composition widget, and then use the "place" tool to add all your images. Click the very first thumbnail box with the place tool: Muse will automatically add all 200 pictures into separate 200 thumbnails that you'll then be able to rezise and move around. The order of the pictures (without broking the link between the lightbox picture and the thumbnail) can be changed after adding the lighbox pictures, by moving the thumbnail object to front or behind within the widget.
While adding the lightbox image, make 100% sure that you are in the lighbox page of the very first thumbnail, then use the "place" tool again and click the box that should be holding the content of the first thumbnail. It will again place all 200 pictures into the separate lighbox "pages" or whatever they are called. If you were in the box of the first thumbnail, the pictures will now be in order, and linked to their correct thumbnails.
I agree, the composition is much more inconvinient to use than the slideshow widget, but in my case I really needed different size thumbnails for my gallery. So for me it was worth the work, I guess. The best thing Muse developer team could do with this, would be to enable the different size thumbnails with slideshow widget as well, but before that happens this was the best option for me.

Check System Preferences. I think Control-1 is used by something in the OS now. Switch it off. It's a major p[ain the way the OS is taking over more and more of the keyboard, allowing less options for application use.
