Can I rearrange the order of photos in an event or slideshow?

I want to rearrange the order of photos in an vent, or slideshow. Can I do this??

Actually, you can do this if the date is sequential.  I have 35K of photos, and 280 events.  They are sorted by date, using year, month, and sometimes day as the title.  If it is more specific, I use year,month,trip information, for example.

  • How can I change the order of photos within an event?

    iPhoto o9 won't let me change the order of photos within a single event- really annoying! I tried to view photos then click manual sort- but when I look back at the event it is not in the right order. what's wrong? Or can I even do this?

    Yes you can do that - IF you go through and assign titles to every photo
    You also can change the date/time on photo and iPhoto will then sort them in the new order
    And you could assign unique key words to each photo such that the sort order is what you want and sort by key word
    But you can not change the order in the sense most people mean - grab a photo and move it to a new location in an event
    So yes you are right

  • Can I change the order of photos in Events

    I am in the process of scanning my old film photos so that I can put them into iPhoto. As I have no scanner I take them to Wal Mart and scan them onto a CD then import them into iPhoto at home. Because the CD holds the photos from a number of events I then distribute them to a number of different Event folders.
    Once I get all the photos into their correct Event folders I would like to rearrange their order. Using drag and drop, or cut and paste, simply leaves the photo in it's original location. If I use the 'Moving photos from one event to another' feature the moved photos will still go into the new Event folder in the same order as they were in the originating folder, regardless of what order I drag or paste them.
    The help menu has topics on how to change the order of photos in a slideshow, book or calender, but not an event. I could arrange the photos beforehand so that they are scanned in the order in which I want them to appear in Events, but with 500+ photos in completely random order it will be fairly time consuming. It also will not help with the disc of photos I have already made.
    So, to finally get to my question, does anybody know if there is a way to rearrange the order of photos within an Event folder?
    Rgds

    Events are strictly time based. If you put those photos in an album and in the order you want, you can set their date and time by using the PHotos->Batch Change->Date and set the date and time you want with the checkbox to add the time differential you'd like between photos. That will reorder them in the Event also.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • How can I save the order of photos in albums? Even though I have set as album order they revert back

    How can I save the order of photos in albums in Elements 11? Even though I have set as album order they revert back to original order.

    Could you confirm that when you re-open the sorted album, the display order on the top bar just over the browsing space is still in 'album' order ? That order may have been changed to a date order. For me, I get the order of the last album I opened, not necessarily the 'album' order of the present album.

  • IPhoto 08: Change the order of photos in an event?

    Greetings,
    I can change the order of photos in an album, but cannot seem to figure out how to change the order of photos in an event. Any suggestions?
    Thank you for any help you can provide.

    Only way is to change the date and time of the photo (photo menu ==> adjust date and time)
    they can currently be manually moved - they stay in date-time sequence

  • How can I change the order of photos in iPhoto so I can create the slide show I want?

    How to change the order of photos in iPhoto on my iPad, so I can create the slide show I want.

    Here's what I did to generate a slide show with Ken Burns effect on the iPad...with the exact same slide order I created on the iMac.  I have iOS 5.5 and iPhoto App on New iPad, and iPhoto 11 on iMac.
    In iPhoto for the Mac, create a new Album and give it the name of your Slide Show. Drag or import the photos you want into the album.  Rearrange the order of the album photos as desired. Do this by selecting Manual Sort under View/Sort Photos or simply start dragging thumbnails to the places you want them (the sort method will automatically change to Manual). 
    When you have the order you want, shut down iPhoto on the Mac to make sure iPhoto's database gets updated with the new photos and their order. 
    Restart iPhoto and go to File/Export on the top menu.  Select File Export at the top left of the Export window. Set JPEG quality to Max, Size to Full Size, and File Name to Album Name and Number.  Set Subfolder Format to None.
    Click Export to bring up what looks like the Finder.  Create an empty folder on your hard drive under Pictures and give it the name of your slide show. Click on the new folder and then click OK at the bottom right of the Finder-like window.  The new folder will contain JPEG files with file names in the form, Album Name - 001.jpeg, Album Name - 002.jpeg, etc.  There will also be an iPOD Photo Cache folder.  Click at the top of the Name column to order files by file name.  001 will be your first slide, 002 your second, etc.
    Now start up iTunes. You are going to force the Mac to sync these new photos with the iPad.  Click on your iPad device in the list at the left.  Now click on the Photo button at top right. Make sure the Sync Photos check box at top is checked, then select Choose Folder... from the list at right.  In the Finder-like window that opens, select the folder where your slides are.  Make sure that All Folders is checked, then select Open at the bottom right.
    Now click Sync at bottom right.  The slides will be copied to your iPad.  Both the Photos app and the iPhoto app will properly handle the slide order, and the Ken Burns effect is available using the iPhoto app.
    I ran across this problem in preparing a Ken Burns slide show for a wedding.  Drove me nuts for a week why the order changes when syncing an iPhoto album from iMac to iPad.  But this worked and gave me several options.  I plan to use the digital AV adapter for iPad and show slides on a large screen TV using HDMI connection from iPad to TV.  TV essentially acts as an external monitor for the iPad.
    Hope this helps!

  • How can I rearrange the order of pictures within a folder

    I have an 8310 and all of the pictures are stored on a media card.  The pictures are all within one folder.  I want to rearrange the order of the pictures within the folder.  When looking at the pictures they are in rows of 3.  I want to move picture #9 to position #1 within the same folder. I've read all the help topics and have not been able to accomplish this.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    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.

  • How can I control the order of photos in a Ravel slideshow?

    I'm using the web version.  After I uploaded my photos, I discovered that Ravel does not display them in alphanumeric file name order.  Instead it appears to order them by file date.  Unfortunately, I have always altered the file name to set up the order of my photos.  In the future, if I use PhotoShop to manually alter the date of the jpeg files, and then upload them, will Ravel "see" the altered date and change the order?  I've used up my upload limit, so I can't just try it and see.
    On a slide note, I tried the method of sharing an album on PC as described in the Adobe FAQ, and it worked pretty well.  Two minor things I'd add:  (1) You have to first click the URL field before the copy, and (2) the URL includes two non-functional characters at the end (#!) that can be deleted from the e-mail.

    Yes, as you noticed, the only option for Revel is to sort by date.  If you change the date that the photo was taken, it will indeed change the order.  This is something you can also do within the Revel app, though not currently with the web version you are using.

  • How can I change the order of photos in my fotostreams?

    When selecting photos for a fotostream to share with friends the exported files appear in the order they were taken. If I add more pictures later, they are added at the end of the stream as if they were ne lastest taken pics.
    How can I change that?
    Exporting all of them and then creating a new stream brings back the real order, but destroys all comments.

    Aperature is the same with PS - PS is PS
    Lightroom - has nothing to do with sharing photos in any way - it is a photo manager with no connection to any other Apple products
    FLickr and integrated into iPhoto and are easy ways to share photos - SmugMug also is popular
    Google will bring you others

  • How can I keep the order of photos in an album when I upload it to Flickr?

    When I share an iPhoto album on Flickr, the order of the photos in my album is lost. Apparently Flickr uses the photo date, but that defeats all the manual arranging I have done in my album. How can I preseve the photo order on upload?
    Also, the description of each uploaded photo appears in small print and not in the main Flickr label box. This means the description cannot be seen if a photo is viewed in full screen mode. How can I automatically transfer the iPhoto descriptions to the main Flickr label boxes?
    Is there a better way to share iPhoto albums on the Web (Picasso)?

    I'm glad you found a solution
    For for others and you in the future it is important to understand
    Albums are a way to VIEW photos in your desired order within iPhoto - the photos do not have any order (in fact they are in files scattered essentially randomly accross your hard drive)
    When you move the out of iPhotoand view them in another program that program determines teh order they are viewed in
    An easy to see an example is the finder - files exported from iPhoto and viewed via the finder can be viewed in many different sort orders including name, date created, date modified, size, kind and label - none of these have any relation to the order the photos were in the album UNLESS you cause that to happen (like by exporting using sequential file names so teh finder name sort matched the album order) - the order you see photos in is totally determined by the program you are using to view them - if you understand how it views them then you may be able to export them so that the destination program view martches the iPhoto view
    To make suggestions to Apple re exporting to Flickr (or any other outsidside service) -  iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback - and to make suggestiont to thrid party suppliers like the Picasa export plugin contact the developer of that plugin

  • How can I change the order of photos in albums on my iPad

    Hi everybody... When I place a folder with photos in it and sync it with iTunes on my iPad they are not in the order that I want to view them or play as a slideshow.  I've tried numbering the files in order, but that didn't work.  Is there away of doing this?

    When syncing folders the photos are ordered by capture date - the only way to alter the order (apart from using iPhoto or Aperture on a Mac) is to amend the photo's capture dates : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4221

  • How can I lock the order of photos in my IPhoto albums?

    I have created albums in IPhoto and have arranged the photos in the order I want them.  But when I open IPhoto and click on an album, I often find that some of the photos have moved to different locations.  This is maddening to me!  Is there a way to lock the position of photos in the albums? 

    Thanks, I will send in some feedback.  It seems silly to have a menu option to arrange photos "Manually," then have them move around seemingly on their own.

  • Can I rearrange the order of Menu, Bookmark, Tab, and Title bars?

    Having the Bookmark Bar between the Tab & Title Bars and the page itself seems out of place to me.
    I would like the bars in the following order (top to bottom):
    Menu Bar,
    Bookmark Bar,
    Tab Bar,
    Title Bar
    Is it possible to arrange them in this manner?

    You can't move the position of the title bar, but you can move the Tab bar to a lower position just above the browsing area.
