Can I make slides in slideshow larger?

Since upgrading to iWeb '08 just yesterday, I cannot believe how much worse the photos look on the website! They seem to be less sharp and the slide show photos are not much bigger than the thumbnails. The pause button is HUGE unnecessarily, I think. Can I make the slides larger? They're mostly for my Dad and he needs large.

I agree, the slide shows in iWeb '08 are not an improvement to the suite. In fact, it's quite terrible. When I upgraded to '08 it changed all of my settings to show off it's new fancy "reflection" feature and added the "subscribe" button to everything. Nothing I wanted. In fact, the only reason I upgraded iWeb was to get the simple feature of having outside weblinks open up in a new window. (Something that should have been standard to begin with!) And now I have to deal with crappy slide shows.
Does anybody know how to make the slide show images as big as they were in the last version? Is there a way to use the older version of slide show in '08?
Thanks.

How can I make an iPhoto slideshow into a DVD in Lion?

How can I make an iPhoto slideshow into a DVD in Lion?

If you MacBook Pro came with Lion preinstalled then you will not have a copy of iDVD. That's because iDVD and iWeb have been discontinued by Apple and is not longer being included in iLife.
You can purchase a copy from Amazon.com: iLive 11.
If you do have Lion this post will self destruct in 10, 9, 8... seconds and you can follow Terence's directionsl
As for iDVD the following is a recommended workflow to follow;
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Can you make a continuous slideshow from multiple folders in iphoto?

can you make a continuous slideshow from multiple folders in iphoto?

Greetings,
Yes you can but you have to add the images from the various events or albums to a single slideshow.
Create your slideshow, then drag all the images you want in that slideshow to the slideshow on the left hand side.

When you go to play the slideshow you can click on settings and make sure the "repeat" option is checked.

How can I make slides into movies to show on DVDs?

I have just scanned about a thousand of my 91 year old Dad's slides and have been trying to transfer them to discs, so that they can be easily played on a DVD player so that he doesn't have to go through that oldfashioned slide show procedure with the projector.
I scanned them, edited them using Photostudio and then dragged them into iMovie. 99 seemed to be the maximum number of photos I could get to burn onto a DVD. (Using Roxio Toast)
After a lot of trial and error, I thought I had done it successfully, but now find they don't work even as a slide show (clicking on from one to the other with the DVD remote), let alone as movies. I had arranged them into categories and made movies of about 50 each, with transitions.
The first major problem became apparent after the first few were done, when I realised that iMovie tends to prefer NTSC to PAL and sometimes reverts to NTSC of it's own accord. (I'm in Australia, where PAL is the standard)
I gave up on trying to select music to go with the photos, as when I tried to select the movie to burn, the music would not be there.
I found that about 10 seconds duration was best for each photo, and tried selecting all to add the same Ken Burns transition to each one. I thought by keeping each disc to only a few 'slide shows' of about 15 minutes duration each I had finally got it right, but apparently it won't play on Dad's DVD player.
I would like step-by-step instructions on exactly how I should go about this project, as it seems I will have to do it all again. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Casuarina,
It would really help if the machine you are using has iDVD. If it did you would use iMove to create slideshows then drag them into iDVD, customize the DVD with a them, music, etc. then burn the DVD.
You can also do all the slideshow (99 images each) right within iDVD, then burn the DVD.
Macs are great, but you need the right software, and iDVD is what you need to make DVDs.
There is a hack to be able to burn a DVd with iDVD using an external or non-supported burner.
There is more information in this thread

Can I make an aperture slideshow and use it in iweb?

I need to know if I can make an aperture slideshow and use it in iweb (not making it a quicktime movie)? I don't want to use I photo (I know how to make one in Iphoto and put it in Iweb and I dont want to do this). (dont want a .mac gallery either) Please help. thank you!!!

Aperture slide shows are just for review. They can not be output. TBMK
Honestly, you've exhausted most of what iLife can do, and quicktime will probably be your output even if you go to Keynote to make your slide show.
But with Keynote you'll have more control over how the Quicktime is compressed.
Otherwise, you're looking at the expense AND the learning curve of Flash.
Maybe someone else will chime in with a 3rd party solution.

When I download pictures from my camera, they turn out a nice big size in iPhoto; other pictures that have been e-mailed to me or imported from older libraries/other computers show up small. Why is this, and how can I make them all the larger size?

When I download pictures from my digital camera into iPhoto, they turn out a nice large size (usually almost the full screen), but when somebody e-mails me pictures and I import them into iPhoto, or when I transfer old photos from an old library into my new iPhoto library, they turn out very small--not exactly thumbnail-size, but too small to use for calendars or photo books. I don't know much about computers, so I don't know how this happened. Also, I can't find any discernible pattern to why this happens with some pictures and not others--ie: what I described above is usually true, but I have had e-mailed photos or old photos turn out the way I want them, which is in the larger size in iPhoto. Why is this happening, and how can I make all the pictures the larger size?

Some mail programs, including Apple Mail, can reduce the size of images that are attached to a message. It's happening at the sender's end, and all you can do is ask the sender for a larger image.

How can I make an iPad slideshow for a friend, without having an iPad?

I'm on a MacBook Pro, 10.5.8 old school stuff these days, I'm sure. The point is, I don't have any fancy new apps or an iPad.
A friend has an iPad 2, I think (the newest kind) and I wanted to make them a slideshow (or a couple). What would be the easiest way of doing this—using Keynote, or just stuffing the pictures into a folder in numerical order and zipping it?
Also, I want to resize all the images so they appear full screen right off the bat. The info I found on Apple's website is:
1024 x 768
132 pixels/inch
Does this sound about right? Thanks so much!

How can I make a simple slideshow on iDVD?

As opposed to the majority of Apple apps that are "user-friendly" I find using iDVD a very awkward, un-friendly application. It offers "drop zones" without me understanding what I should "drop" into them.
I just want to make a simple DVD of a slideshow with some background music ... nothing fancy. I don't need any theme and I don't need to add any movies.

To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1089
If you want something a bit more sophisticated:
There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!

How can I make slides NOT advance automatically?

I'm building a project manually by making new slides and putting graphics and text on them. It's not a recording of software. I would like the user to read each slide for as long as they want to, then click to go to the next one. I can't find a setting for this.
I tried setting the default slide duration to 300 sec. Which sort of works, but every element I add to a slide still defaults to 3 sec so I have to change each element seperately. Not practical at all. ideas?

Hi, I'm also having a slide advancing problem using CP8. I have three smart shapes used as buttons on the screen. After each is clicked, a prompt to click Next (in the playbar) shows. I have a click box after the prompt to stop the screen from advancing. This works fine if I only click the items once. If I click them again, the screen advances.
I tried adding an additional smart shape. If I clicked two of the items again, the screen advances.
I need a slight delay before the prompt shows and an effect on the prompt, so I can't just set the Advanced Actions to pause.
Here are some screen caps of my course...
Slide properties and Timeline
Advanced actions of smart shapes....
Properties for Click Box and Smart Shape that "pause" the slide
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I need to send this out ASAP.

How can I make the font stay large?

I need a large font, but every time I go to a new pageI have to reset the font size.

Interesting question. In many programs pressing Option + will increase magnification, but not so in the desktop address book. One option then is to log into iCloud in your browser and view address book there. The view is larger immediately, and you can easily increase the view even further as you would with any browser window.
