Customise Vintage Prints Slide show

Hi,
I've tried to make a slide show with the Aperture 3.4.5 and I liked the Vintage Prints theme. The only problem is, how can I decide if one or two pictures are displayed on a slide. I've tried to find an answer on the web, the only partial answer I found was this: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2678967?start=0&tstart=0 but I didn't manage to apply the solution.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Cheers,
Sharlo

The slideshow templates are fixed and can't be changed.
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie, on every Mac sold.
Others, in order of price: PhotoPresenter $29
PhotoToMovie $49.95
PulpMotion $129
FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
Final Cut Express $199
It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Express is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

How to make vintage prints slide show one photo at a time?

Does anyone know to program the vintage prints slide show to display only one photo at a time?

Is Aperature doing Vintage...not in old ...but slide show?

Hi, I use the Vintage Theme in autmatic slideshows in Iphoto all the time and my customers love then although
the easiest. Videos on the newest version of Aperature do not show VIntage as a selection when creating a slide show but good old
Ken Burns is there with Classic, sliding panels etc. I am coming to you with this simple question as flat on my back today, not driving and wondering how the helll to get this website going. Please help! Does the current version of Aperature have the Vintage slideshow function,.
Thanks

Frank, Good strong Italian name! Thanks for replying and yes it should but it is shown as such in the video tutorial showing the basic features. You are correct in saying it should be yet my favorite function was removed from Iphoto and I am still mad and that was awhile back. Ilife 7 or 8. I have been here and done that and upgraded and regretted it so I need to make sure. My good friend Mr. Piriano would tell me to say Merry Christmas and have a Compari and soda no twist but I will take a lime. He has liver cancer and can't drink so when all the people offer to do something for him or ask what he needs he always have a compari for me.

Elements 4 Slide Show Ordering Prints Online

The PDF slide show can be stopped by pressing ESC. This takes Adobe Viewer out of Full Screen mode, letting people look at the slides one-by-one. Select and copy slides or areas of slides to the clipboard, etc. Nice. (It doesn't stop the music, though.)
Also it gives access to Adobe Viewer's Picture Tasks. When I try to Order Prints Online, an Online Services Wizard starts up, showing Adobe Photoshop Services as the provider of services. The Next button is grayed out, and nothing I can do seems to fix it.
Online Help isn't real great, but it says "The template you use to create the project determines what online service providers are available." There are vague references to older versions of Photoshop Elements.
Questions:
1) Why can't I order prints online?
2) What's this templates business?

Yep, I know this is user-to-user. I've gotten very good answers here, too.
I experimented with the "slide resolution" (or whatever the name of it is). There wasn't much difference in file size between 800x600 and 1024x768, and I couldn't see much difference on the screen. Fonts seemed less jazzy with 1024x768, but it wasn't night and day.
File size ballooned when I went to the next higher resolution. I think the visual quality improved, too, but I can't be sure.
Looks like the higer resolution settings might be good if one distributed the slide show on CD.

Image quality of slide shows using Aperture 3 seems inferior to iPhoto '08

I haven't previously used Aperture. I've been using a copy of iPhoto '08 for several years. I've shot everything in RAW for the last several years and process it in
DXO on my Mac Pro (3 1/2 years old with 7 gigs of RAM). I then load the jpegs into iPhoto '08.
I downloaded Aperture 3 yesterday, and it certainly is impressive in what it can do for improving existing jpegs. I think I could do most touch-ups with Aperture
instead of Photoshop 3. Because of some glitch, I couldn't load or link to my 37,000 images from iPhoto but I did export about 4000 images as full jpegs into
a separate file and then imported these images into Aperture. Touch-ups are an order of magnitude better that trying to use iPhoto to do the same.
I'm an amateur and aside from a fair amount of print making and a few thousand images uploaded to a new Picasa account
http://picasaweb.google.com/jamesn88888
I enjoy a lot of my images via slide shows on my 23" Apple monitor, usually sequenced at 3 seconds per slide.
Comparing slide shows of identical jpegs run with iPhoto '08 and then with the files uploaded to Aperture 3 there is a very subtle loss of definition with Aperture. It's not so
obvious when viewing relatively large detail but is is very noticeable when running slides containing small detail. When both of these programs are just used to display static images full screen I note no difference in readability. Someone suggested that I check the preferences for preview displays. Sure enough, it was set for relatively low quality. I decided to re-do all 4000 images maximum preview display quality.
Using the import settings that came already selected on the trial software, the total size of my
Aperture 3 trial library was a little over 25 GB. The quality of the slide shows did not approximate
the quality of the slide shows of the identical jpegs included in my iPhoto '08 library.
I therefore re-processed all of the previews to the "don't limit" in the photo preferences. The total size of my Aperture 3 trial library grew from 25GB to 41.37GB, an increase of 17 GB. With 3926 jpegs in the library that means the average additional size added to each preview image was 4.33 Megabytes. Inasmuch as the original jpeg images that I imported into Aperture 3 were more in the neighborhood of 1.7 to 3.5 Megabytes each (I have DXO output most jpegs @ 90% quality- fine for my purposes), this is an extreme measure to take in order to be able to use Aperture 3 the same way that I used iPhoto '08. In comparing slide shows between the two applications I still get the feeling that there is a very slight loss in acutance when viewing the slide shows. iPhoto still wins out.
I think that I'm better off staying with iPhoto and continuing to do the RAW processing with DXO and slight file modifications with iPhoto. More elaborate changes can continue to be done using Photoshop 3 and Viveza. It's a shame, because I really like the image processing abilities that are contained in the new Aperture.
Have any of you compared slide show views on your computer between Aperture and iPhoto?
Is there any workaround for best slide show viewing- importing or referencing my existing iPhoto library of 37,000 images does not work for me. My copy of iPhoto 7.1.5 get the message that Aperture cannot import or link to iPhoto earlier than 7.1.5 (?)

I think I've solved my problem with a Google Search. I came across a free slide show generator
(contributions requested) that shows much higher quality slide shows than either iPhoto or Aperture 3.
You click on a folder of jpegs and it almost immediately generates thumbnails and within a few seconds
I can be viewing a full screen, tack sharp, slideshow of all of the files in the folder. Much sharper than
I'm used to seeing.
I think I'll keep the Aperture 3 and use if for the purpose it's intended for in the future. I'll also redo the
image preview files to the small size it started with and then I'll copy all of the files I'm interested in from
iPhoto into a separate folder on another disk. I'll use Aperture to catalog and to perform image manipulations
on but I won't try to use it as an iPhoto replacement. I don't think I'll be using iPhoto much as an image
viewer in the future either after I finish moving my favorite pictures to the Phoenix Slides folder.
The name of the free program is Phoenix Slides. It's free to download and try, free to keep (though I
think you'd want to pay the small amount requested) and fast. My pictures have never looked so good
before.

Adding print slide or window button

I am trying to print the quiz results page and the only thing I can find is to add a smart shape button and change the action to "execute_JavaScript". In the script_window i'm simply adding one line of code "window.print()". The problem I'm running into is when I publish my project the slide containing the print button shows up completely blank. Any idea whay I am doing wrong here? I tried adding a widget as well, but my system does not have a print widget available.

Where do you see the target='_top"? I went looking for the original button from my original post which was in the http://web.me.com/toad.hall/HelperSite//Page1_files/widget3markup.html page via the Activity window and view source and this is what the code of that widget page is:
<xmp>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /><title></title></head><body><form>
<input type=button value="Close Window" onClick="javascript:window.close();">
</form> </body></html>
</xmp> (Ignore the <xmp></xmp> tags when using)
I don't see the target='_top" in there. What am I missing? This was my first post: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9134142#9134142.
Thanks for the help.

How can I change the font size and placement of photo descriptions in an iPhoto slide show?

With an iPhoto slide show, how do I change the font size for titles and descriptions and position the text when preparing a slide show?

to change the pixels crop to 100x100 and export with maximum dimension of 100 - see the user tip on exporting foo details on Export options - Exporting From iPhoto
As to DPI - digital photos have no DPI since DPI is Dots Per Inch and digital photos have no inches hence no DPI - when you print a photo then DPI is a mathematical calculation - dots divided by inches - it is not a setting
Print a 480 pixel photos as a 1" square and the print it 480 DPI (480 / 1 = 480) and print the 100 pixel image as a 1" square it will be 100 DPI (100 / 1 = 100) - print a 480 pixel photo as a 4.8 inch square and it is 100 dpi (480 / 4.8 = 100) - just a calculation - not a setting

Photo names in slide shows.

Hi. Simple question. I can see how to add captions to a slide show (under preferences) but I would like to know if you can add the photo name to it (Besides the obvious of copying the name to the caption)? I'm using Photoshop Elements 6.0 on Windows Vista. What I need to do is take the photos, put them in a slide show, and give to a friends family so she and they can look at them and pick out which one(s) they want to print. With the photo names it would make life a lot easier. Thanks.

Need Basic advice on save format & slide show project

I have started a project to scan and save approximately 5,000 color slides and 5,000 plus Photos of Family and Friends over a 50 year period.
My goal is to use Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 to edit and save files to hard drive and then use PSE 9 to Organize, add tags etc.
and then produce slide shows to view primarily on big screen (52 inch plus) HDTV sets.
The equipment I will be using 1ncludes: 1. Epson Perfection V600 Photo Flatbed Scanner
2. Nikon Cool Scan IV Slide & Film Scanner
3. Dell XPS 8300, Intel i7 3.4ghz processor, 12.0gb installed memory, 2 each 1tb hard drives.
4. Windows 7 OS
I have been working on scanning and saving pictures for over 2 months and the deeper I get into this project the more questions arise.
I am looking for advise now rather than later so I won't have to re-do hours of work later. I have visited Forums and viewed all the Tutorials I could find for help.
Some things I don't entirely understand and really need help and advice on are: 1. What is the best sequence of workflow?
2. What format, size and resolution would be best to" save as" for my purpose?
I see no need to save in high quality PSD if I am not going to Print Photos later?
3. Should I do re-sizing to 1500pi X 1000pi (Or ??) during the initial edit or later in Organizer?
I have been cropping and saving photos in a multitude of sizes and resolutions.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I have a lot to learn. Thanks, Donald

There will be lots of opinions and your mileage will vary. Get the book ScanTips - www.scantips.com. It da bomb
I had a similar Epson flatbed and number and my workflow was like this:
* Use the Epson scan software
* Set to 2400 bpi and save to TIFF (I now wish I had saved most to high quality JPEG. Sigh).
* Use Digital Ice where it mattered (Ektachrome) and not where it didn't (Kodachrome)
* Organize belt and suspenders -- directories (and Organizer tags) identical to the date stamp on the slide. It will help you a lot when you correct the EXIF date later and if you ever want to find the slide again in the tray or a more compact box storage (I threw away a lot of trays)
* Expose the slides to air as little as possible. I found it better to go direct from carousel to scanner with only enough time to dust carefully and orient
(it takes less time to throw away losers on the scanner display than on a viewer box)
* Throw away the loser
* Start with a stack and as I lay them on the flatbed, dust carefully. I used an old-fashioned StaticMaster - saved lots of time versus a blower brush
* Learn the histogram on the scanner software. It does a good job on bottom and top values but the mid-tones almost always benefit and it will save you oodles of time
* set the correct date (as close as you can) in your organizing software
* If I cropped, it was to a 12x9 ratio (good for prints and not bad for conventional TV)
* I found Microsoft Photo Story 3 did a nice job and handled resolution and cropping fine.

How do you create a title screen in the slide show?

If I wanted to create a title screen (with text on it) for in iPhoto 6 for a slide show, how do I do that?
Can I do that?

Steve:
Do you have another image editor you can use? Then it's relatively easy. Created an image file that's 4:3 in size ratio, give it the background color you want, and add add and position the text and save as a jpg. Or duplicate a current photo, edit it so it's all black or desired color and use it to put the text on. There's a 3rd party application that many like called Portraits and Prints. Check VersionTracker for it and others.
If you don't have a 3rd party editor you might be able to do it with AppleWorks or Word. Again create a 4:3 ratio landscape document, add text and print to PDF. Then open it in Preview and do a Save As, selecting jpg as the format.
Other's have listed different methods.

How can I arrange the order of pictures in a slide show and add a caption to each?

I go to:www.photoshop.com/users/name. Then to My Gallery and click onto the album name then to "slide show." I want to reorder the pictures and add captions. How?

Go to your photoshop.com website. Log in if needed. Click on "Online Tools." Choose "Photoshop Express Organizer." Click and drag photos into the order you want.
Captions might best be added in the Elements Editor Organizer (99jon is correct) by double-clicking on thumbnail to make a full screen image, then a line appears under the photo and asks you to print your caption there. Sync it with your online website.

PSE12 slow loading Fujifilm files in slide show

I have just upgraded from PSE10 to PSE12 and now when I use the Slide show (full screen) in organizer with Fujifilm Raw files it take about a minute and a half to load up and same again when you zoom in. Is there any way of speeding this up in PSE12? It was slow in PSE10, but it did take over a minute in total.

To me also Reply #11 seemed key. But I think on first read through the significance of:
With the lossy compressed DNG (scene-referred), you can do all the normal edits you're accustomed to with raw: white balance, highlight recovery, changing camera color profiles, noise reduction, sharpening, lens corrections, etc. With the normal JPEG in DNG wrapper (output-referred), you cannot
had escaped me as it seems counter-intuitive - "lossy compressed" just sounds more image degrading than "normal".
The jpeg compression algorithm is generally used to compress image files like tiffs or psds. It is based on the fact that our eyes are much more sensitive to the luminosity than the colors, and that results in a 'simplification', not a 'degradation' of the data. Imagine you have a very detailed map of an island printed 1 meter x 1 meter. You want to print it 30 cm x 30 cm. You'll downsample the image so that you get a good 300 ppi picture : you simplify to discard all details your eyes could not see in the 30 x 30 print ; that is lossy in the sense that you discard the less meaningful bits of data.
Note that using the jpeg compression algorithm on the just demosaiced raw file is possible because you can process the luminosity and color information from that stage. At that stage, the 'jpeg' compressed data is still an undefined image unlike the usual output-referred jpegs. Another compression algorithm could have been used, with less visual efficiency.
Since the link I gave in this post, the new version of Lightroom has taken advantage of the lossy dng compression in a very smart way. Lightroom keeps a catalog and a preview file for quicker browsing on its library. Instead of using normal jpegs as previews, you can use lossy DNGs of about the same size. The advantage is that if the catalog and previews are stored in a computer and the library in another drive, you can edit the raw files and store the results in the catalog even if the other drive is not plugged in. When you plug the drive in, you can sync the parametric editing in the catalog to the real full size raw images.

Can I use movie trailers with a slide show

I want to create a slide show of images and movie clips and I would like to use a movie trailer in conjuction with it---Is that possible?

Mackerel, meet MSM. MSM, meet Mackerel. You two are peas in a pod, at least with respect to your slide show plans and needs.
What you both want to do is exactly what presentation programs like PowerPoint and Keynote are made for. You could also do a version of it in Adobe Acrobat, and you could even cobble up some sort of horrible kludgy substitute in Word or any other word processor that can hold photographs (though the resulting document would be so enormous it might handle at truly glacial speed).
What you can't do in any of these programs, or in any other that I know of, is automate the placement of a text block that's associated with each picture. That you'd have to do manually. So if you don't like work, you'll either have to find another application that does the job without you, or hand your text out in printed form.

IPhoto books and slide shows vs. iMovie

I have put an iBook together and it looks great. To play it in a slide show with text and titles is wonderful. The problem is that I cheated. I fooled iBook into making double trucks (two page spreads) of some of my photos...Looks great in book form but plays as left page/right page in a slide show. Not good. I could just make a slide show from a folder...But then I get no text page or title page. If I make an iMovie of my images, they look soft (out of focus) and I am limited in the amount of text I can output. If there is a way to get print into the iPhoto slide show, I would be happy. Any ideas?

If you had iDVD on an older Applications DVD disc that came with an older Mac install that and then make sure you use Software Update before you try to start the program. You could also try doing software update now and see if any newer upgrades/updates are available.
I suspect what they transfered is an older version that will not run on the new OS X. Once updated/upgraded to a newer version it will work.
But then you may need to do a reinstall first.
