Order of images in slideshow ...

I'm sure this has been asked before but I can't find the answer with google or here.
I'm using lightroom 3 - how can I change the order of the images in a slideshow .... I'd love to be able to drag and drop the images into the order that I want but that does not sem possible .... so how do I do this please?

Michael
You can order your photos in Library Module, in Grid mode. To be able to establish a user sort order, you must be either
In a collection (not a smart collection)
In a bottom level folder (no more subfolders underneath it)
In a non-bottom level folder, but without having "Include Photos from Subfolders" marked
A collection is my prefered way for slideshows, since you can
Select the photos you want
Order them as you like

Slideshow - Order of Images - Sorting

The only sorting optons for collections and playing a slideshow are:
Capture time
Import order
Edit time
Edit count
Rating
Pick
Color Label
File Name
File Extension
File Type
Aspect ratio
User order
Through a combination of ratings and color labels, I have trimmed 2400 photos to about 500. For the most part, I want the photos arranged in the order of the capture time. But for wide and closeup shots of the same scene, I want the wide shots to appear first in the slideshow, followed by the related close-up shots. At this point, and given the large number of photos for the slide show, the only alternative above that allows for rearranging the order is "User order".
I don't see where the user specifies the input field or metadata for "user order." I thought it may be related to the order the user clicks images into the collection, but this is not the case.
It appears there is no way to drag and drop or insert images using a mouse to rearrange the order. That would be ideal and consistent with the visual design of Lightroom.
Can anyone help with rearranging the order? I don't want to edit the image capture time solely to rearrange a slideshow. This would be very cumbersome.

After more testing with a smaller sample, the user order is the sequence the photos were added to the collection. When I first experimented with this, the user order of my test sample was the same as image capture time because I did a massive import to the collection (rather than photo by photo). When I was expecting a different sort order for image capture vs user order, I did not realize the sort order in my particular situation would be identical.
So the work-around to specify a precise order is to first select and edit all of the photos for inclusion or exclusion from the slideshow. Then add the draft slide show picks into a second collection one by one in the exact order desired in the final slideshow. For sorting the final collection, select the last option - User select.
There should be an easier way to accomplish this task. With 500 photos to arrange in order, it would be easy to make a mistake and miss a photo or put one in the wrong place. Perhaps you could change the color code after adding a photo to a collection to help in keeping track of the rearranging / sorting. This adds time to the already slow and tedious process.
Any other ideas?

Blank images in slideshow

I have just downloaded iphoto 11. I am able to see thumbnail pictures, but am unable to see images in slideshow. I only see blanks. Anyway round the problem?
Imatong

Are you able to see the full sized images of those photos in the Event or Photos mode? If not what do you see?
If you see just a blank window or this image in the window:
Then try the following:
If you have the space available on your hard drive and don't aready have a backup copy of the library make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Save manual ordering of images in a project?

Hi there,
I have a project with images from lots of different cameras which I have edited down ready for making up an Aperture book. I have also laboriously re-ordered the images, into rough "chapter" order. The little indicator at top left correctly enough has the ordfer labelled as "manual" - my question is, can I close down Aperture and have the images appear in the same order when I open the programme again? Ideally, I'd like to pull the whole lot into the book and have them arrange themselves in the same, manual order in the book, so I can then resize, finetune etc.
Thanks for your help!

The little indicator at top left correctly enough has the ordfer labelled as "manual" - my question is, can I close down Aperture and have the images appear in the same order when I open the programme again?
This is an undocumented feature - at least I have never seen a written guarantee-, but so far Aperture has always preserved my manual ordering of images in library items, like projects, albums, slideshow,... and always shown the same sequence of images as before after quitting and reopening.
But what is your Aperture version? Your profile signature says Mac OS X (10.5.6). I have never used Aperture on this system, so I cannot make any guarantees for earlier Aperture versions. I only tested on Aperture 3.2.4 and later. And in some cases Aperture will shuffle images around when using manually arranged images for a product, like for a slideshow. The recommended workflow is to do the manual arranging in the final album, not before adding to the album, this is safer. Or to add tags to the images that you can use for sorting, like numbered version names or headlines.
But if you already have decided on the images you want to use, why not create the book with these images at once, before you quit Aperture? You do not have to finish the book in one go - my books ususally take a full month to finish
To create a book from the images in your project select them all at once in the Browser and use the command "File > New > Book". Then check, if they arrived in the correct sort order in the book album and quit.

Reversed order of images emailed from LR5 on a Mac

This has been a problem ever since LR3 and on previous versions of the MacOS. I hoped that it would be fixed in LR5, but not yet. When I select multiple images for email in LR5 on a Mac running Mavericks, the preview shows the images in the correct order, but in the email message itself, the order is reversed so that the last image is first and the first image is last. Nothing helps. If you select the images in a different order, the result is the same backwards order. Others have noted this problem, see messages from Bud, AJ, and SC in the middle of this page of comments on Julianne Kost's blog starting in December 2012: Lightroom – How Do You Change the Order of Images, Before Renaming? « Julieanne Kost's Blog
The only workaround is to create a separate export for each image or to export a folder of images and manually add them to a single email. I can't imagine that this would be a hard bug to fix, so please, Adobe, do so!
In addition, it would be helpful if there were a space between images in the email so that the images don't all run together in one long strip. There should be a way to have this happen by setting up a style or template so that it does not have to be done manually.

Do you have a suggestion for automatically adding a space between images?
I don't think you have control if using the native email feature (but I could be wrong). I'm not a Mac expert, but I suspect the solution would be something like exporting to an applescript and having that talk to apple-mail. Or running an apple-script after exporting to the emailer to add the space post-facto. Or, if you could find a special Mac email plugin which had more flexibility..
I use an Outlook macro for formatting messages with emails exported by Lightroom, but that wouldn't help you on the Mac (other than perhaps conceptually).
Sorry I can't be more help.

Change position images in slideshow

Hello,
I am trying to change the position of the images in my slideshow, but I don't know how I can do this.
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks in advance!

You can resize and reposition both the Hero Image container and the Image inside that (by double-clicking the Hero Image).
Although your Hero Image size/position is fixed for all the images in slideshow, you can definitely move/resize the actual images inside individually. See if that helps you get it to work for you in the Slideshow itself.
Else you can always for go the Composition Widget which allows you to place individual target slides in different positions and have different sizes.
Cheers,
Vikas

How do I import images in slideshow with the caption?

I imported images in slideshow. but I have to write down in each field the caption of the image. is it possible to import the caption as well?
thanks for response

Hi
I am afraid, its not possible to import "Captions" within Adobe Muse. You need to manually type in caption for each individual image.

How to replace images in slideshow?

I would like to replace images in slideshow, but I can see only ADD option.

Thanks Parikshit.
Looks the trick would be to turn on Thumbnails, delete the image and turn it off.

Soft images in Slideshow

When I go to view my images in View>Slideshow they are very soft almost blurred. The thumbnails are fine as are the preview images in Bridge.
If I left click on the image in slideshow and zoom on the image it becomes sharp, when I right click to zoom back to full image it becomes blurred again.
This is very annoying as I have used the manual slideshow in CS3 to quickly assess and rate my images with no problems.
What am I doing wrong? Please help

Most of the problems in slide show are realated to the video card or driver. Make sure you have the latest driver installed.
If this does not work in advanced preferences click "use software rendering" and see it that solves problem.

Poor quality images on Slideshow

Hello all,
I recently downloaded Aperture from the Mac App store - seemed to good a bargain not to and I was already considering upgrading from iPhoto 08.
I imported all my pictures (along with the captions) into Aperture and created a slideshow from an album. I was quite disappointed to see that the image quality was really poor and very grainy. The photos themselves were fine in the album - but not so in the slideshow.
I thought this may have been down to importing from iPhoto, so I experimented by adding other images directly into Aperture. The same slideshow quality issue arose. I also possess a MacBook Pro and decided to re-perform the steps described above. The images and slideshow are absolutely fine on my MacBook pro.
I wish to maintain my photo library on my main iMac and will be very downhearted if Aperture cannot give me the same picture quality on slideshows that I achieved in iPhoto. Can anyone help me figure out why I'm suffering from poor quality images in slideshows on my iMac?
Thanks in advance,
Simon.

Hi Simon,
Aperture uses the image Preview in Slideshows:
_About Displaying Sharp Images in Slideshows_
To display slideshows at the best quality, you should set Aperture to create high-resolution previews. In addition to setting previews to their highest resolution, you should also use full-size previews to prevent upscaling with large displays. If previews are not available, images in the slideshow may not be as sharp as they would be otherwise. For more information about creating high-resolution previews, see Working with Preview Images.
From the [User Manual|http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter=21%26se ction=2]
What size Previews do you have?

Why does Image Capture stop recognizing Epson scanner after scanning several images? I have to stop and start the scanner in order for Image Capture to recognize it again.

Might be corrupted preferences (.plist)
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.image_Capture.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.image_Capture.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac and your scanner and try scanning an image.

Thanks in advance

Order and group images in slideshow with Places theme

Hi,
I'm getting realy comfused in the slideshow feature of iPhoto 11
I try to get a slideshow using the Places theme (the one with the maps).
Two things that really upset me:
- how can I order the pictures, group them instead of having them automatically arranged by time. I may want to group two trips to the same place that took place at two different dates, without having other pictures in between.
If I drag the pictures to the new place, iPhoto automatically adds a new map title, I don't want that
- how can I increase the range of the locations. For example, I want all pictures taken in Portland appear in a Portland map section, I don't want it to then cut all pictures into 14 different sections of the town since I moved around taking pictures. For me it's still one unique event and one unique place.
Can I force it to group everything within a range of, say, 50 miles, to be shown as one unique place?
In a few words, what I try to achieve:
1- organize the pictures the way I want (timewise)
2- groups them into places I control.
Thanks for any help. Without those two controls, this slideshow is unfortunatelly 100% useless to me.
Steve

Sorry about the slide legends - I wouldn't have suggested changing themes if I realized you had those.
I'm not sure why that didn't work for you, it does for me, and yes there is a setting in iPhoto preferences to turn off automatic place look up (I'm not sure it would help here, I think that primarily happens when you import photos). And ivansky makes an excellent point - there's a lot of information about this in the "Help" menu - including how to "fine tune" a location to cover a larger or smaller area:
To manage your places:
You can edit and delete the locations you have personalized.
Choose Window > Manage My Places.The Manage My Places dialog appears, showing all the personalized places that are assigned to your photos.
Do one of the following:
To change a place name, click it and type the name you want into the field.From now on, this changed location appears in the Information pane as an option when you’re adding locations to photos or Events.
To fine-tune a location on the map, use the plus and minus buttons (in the bottom-left corner of the map) to zoom in or out of the map. You can drag the map to move it around and drag the pin to a more exact location.You can also drag the vicinity circle larger or smaller, depending on how specific you want the location to be.
To delete a location, click the minus sign to the right of the place name.If there are photos associated with this location name, a message appears, asking you to confirm. Click the “Delete place” button.
When you’re finished, click the Done button.
