Controlling Layouts in Slideshow Themes

I just upgraded to the latest version of iPhoto as the old version would not allow music to continue past 99 photos.
Unfortunately, every time I add or change the order a photo in the "Scrapbook" option, each page layout within the slideshow changes ... photos resize or their order changes, etc. If I add one more photo to a 120 photo slideshow, all of the layouts from photo 1 to 120 change.
I called apple support and they found the same thing for both the Scrapbook and the Oragami options. They basically told me I am stuck and that they will consider my feedback.
Does anyone know how to control or lock slideshow page layouts within themes like scrapbook?
Thanks!

Success!
I'm documenting this in case anyone else encounters the same problem. There are three files that can be found in HD>Library>Application Support. These files are: iLife, iLifeMediaBrowser, and iLifeSlideshow. They somehow got corrupted in the upgrade process to Aperture 3.1 and/or iLife '11. The thing is that trashing the corrupted files in hopes that a clean reinstall will rebuild them does NOT WORK. It simply makes shared media unavailable to any of the apps. I had to restore the files from Time Machine from a previous state.
This took an entire day of troubleshooting to figure out. I hope this helps avoid this for anyone else.

How do i get more slideshow themes in iphoto 09

i would like add more slideshow themes or possible create my own. how do i do this.
thanks in advance.

You can't, I'm afraid.
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.

Change Layout in Slideshow

Can you change in Aperture the layout of the panels for theme "Sliding Panels" in a slideshow? I know it is not possible in IPhoto
Thanks

No, it is not possible. Aperture and iPhoto are using the same slideshow themes, stored in
/Library/Application Support/Slideshow for the "Sliding Panels" theme.

Controlling the Photo Slideshow thru a remote

I have my itouch hooked up to my tv via the docking station and the composite av cables. I want to know if there is a way to have the little white remote control (advance, pause, etc.) the photo slideshow. Right now if press those buttons during the photo slideshow, it just starts controlling the music.
Please let me know if there is a way to change it to have the white little remote control the photo slideshow.

Missing slideshow themes in Aperture 3. Help.

I have Aperture 3 on both my MacBook Pro and my MacPro. I began experimenting with slideshows today and discovered that the version of Aperture on my MacBook Pro has more slideshow themes than the version on my MacPro. Does anyone know how that could happen? Both are clean installs and are the same exact version and I keep both machines up to date with Apple Software Update.
At this point I am wondering if there is a way for me to find the themes in Finder and just copy them and put them on my MacPro? OR is there something that I am missing??
The themes on my MacPro are as follows:
Classic
Ken Burns
Photo Edges
Scrapbook
Shatter
Sliding Panels
Snapshots
Watercolor Panels
The themes on my MacBook Pro are as follows:
Classic
Ken Burns
Photo Edges
Scrapbook
Shatter
Sliding Panels
Snapshots
Watercolor Panels
Holiday Mobile
Origami
Photo Mobile
Places
Reflections
Scrapbook
Vintage Prints
If anyone can shed some light on this for me I'd be grateful. Thanks in advance!
Cheers!

Ahh! I was thinking that that may be the case. Thanks!!
I never upgraded iLife on my MacPro because I hated the way the new version dealt with photos in email. Also hated that when I hover an event and found the image I was looking for and double-clicked on it, I would have to re-hunt the image down all over again when it opened the event. The old version of iLife/iPhoto (which I'm still using on my MacPro) highlights the image once the event is opened, making it so easy to find.
Anyway, don't mean to go on about my woes with that. I guess what I would LOVE to do now is be able eo move over the themes from my MBP to My MP. Do you (or anyone) know if the themes are modular and can be copied and used on another machine that does not have iLife 11?
Thanks! Great sleuthing!
Cheers!

Where can I Find More SlideShow Themes?

I have been searching the store and Google looking for more Aperture slideshow themes, can anyone point me in a direction where I can find more?

I now have the same questions for iMovie and iDVD. I am having fun and creating some very cool videos for my clients, but need a larger selection of themes for all the applications.
How about making some available in the new store? Giving a starter set and then offering more in the store would be a good $$ model.

Is there a way to remove the autoformatting of the "Places" slideshow theme?

The Places slideshow theme in Aperture is a great one for what I want to do; however, it automatically formats the slides where it will place two or three images per slide. I'd like to have only one image per slide. Is there a way to remove or adjust the autoformatting of this theme to have only one image per slide? If not, do you know of a way to add a map to any of the other slideshow themes? Thanks for the help!

What is your phone model?
It will help us offer more complete suggestions.

Pageheader Layout from portal-theme-editor

Hello,
I want to use in wd4abap the ui-element "pagehead", defining the layout by the theme-editor from the netweaver-portal.
I´am using netweaver2004s, sp 09. I don´t find in the theme-editor the place, where I can define the ui-element pagehead. Can anyone help?
Best regards
Oliver

Hello mrutyun,
i have read your link, but it refers to wd4java and not wd4abap.
In the link you have given, there is no described, how i can define the layout for ui-element Pageheader in the portal, and the ui-element pageheader will be used in webdynpro for abap.
For example: the layout for datenavigator can defined in the theme-editor of the portal. when a wedynpro for abab is called from the portal, which uses a datenavigator, the layout of this datenavigator has the layout, which is defined in the theme-ditor from the portal.
Whith layout I mean clours an types.
Can you hel in a second try?
Best regards Oliver

Photoshop Elements 13 slideshow themes are very limited and unconfigurable

I have upgraded from PSE 11 to 13. The slideshow themes are very constrained and unconfigurable. Is there a plan to enable PSE 12 type features or add more themes - or allow users to build themes?

I have also just upgraded to PSE 13. One of the improvements that I was looking for was higher quality video output for slideshows (in PSE 10 the options were extremely limited). Indeed, the output quality is better, but the "Themes" are woefully inadequate. I just want a simple (ie no pan & slide) slideshow, but one that allows me to change the display time by photo.
To get round the previous limitations of PSE. I have been using Magix PhotoStory. It does everything I want plus a whole lot more.....

Slideshow theme 'classic' is broken: 'scale photos to fit screen'

In Photos, the slideshow theme 'classic' offers as a 'duration setting' the box-check option 'scale photos to fit screen'.
This fit-to-screen option worked fine in iPhotos. But in Photos it no longer works -- instead slides are surrounded *on all four sides* by a thickmargin of wasted black pixels (50+ pixels thick) ... even when the 'scale photos to fit screen' *is* checked.
QUESTION 1: Is there any Photos theme that offers a working 'scale photos to fit screen'?
QUESTION 2: Is there any likelihood that Photos will be fixed and/or upgraded to restore the lost fit-to-screen capability?
QUESTION 3: Meanwhile, is there any workaround?
The world wonders!

CChange the size of the 960x540 image very slightly. 960x540 is an anamorphic video format so the application interprets it that way and stretches the image. A couple of pixels difference in sync should do it.

Iphoto'11 new slideshow theme importing to Aperture3

I'm using Aperture3(of course, i've upgraded it to ver 3.1.3).
And i also finished to install iphoto'11.
But I can't use iphoto'11's new slideshow themes(like places, origami...) on Aperture3.
they are not in the list of slideshow themes.
i know they are supposed to be added automatically when i install ilife'11.
What's the problem on my mac?
Plus, I'd installed ilife'11 with installation DVD. is it a cause?
One more question. After installing ilife'11, there's still a purchase button on Mac app store.

Hello Mazza,
I would recommend rebuilding the iphoto library with this article:
iPhoto 6 and later: Rebuilding the iPhoto library
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638
If your version of iPhoto is 9.3 or greater, follow the library first aid options at the bottom of the article.
All the best,
Sterling

Slideshow theme "Shatter" cuts off photos

I'm trying to make a slideshow in iPhoto and then eventually export it to iDVD. I'm wanting to use the theme "Shatter" however it is cutting off the photos. It seems all the other ones, except Classic, also cut part of the image. This is for a boy's soccer team. I would like something edgy and Classic is not it. Some of the images are really close so when it crops it cuts off the ball or head and no amount of cropping on my end can fix it. I've cropped images to 3x4 for TV.

Are the photos that are getting cropped portrait oriented? That theme and others are geared to landscape images so any portrait image will be cropped to some degree. Not much you can do about it.
If you're looking for a slideshow with a little snap give PhotoPresenter a try. It has over 25 animated themes many of which will not corp the images. It works seamlessly with iPhoto. You can run it in demo mode to see if it has what you're looking for.
This demo page has example of some of those themes: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes.

Re-Creating Aspects of a Slideshow Theme

Hi Everyone,
I am wanting to re-create aspects of the "Photo Edges" slideshow theme in a "Classic" slideshow.
My problem is with photo borders. I can create a border OK, but on the "Photo Edges" theme, there is a jagged inner border which I cant work out how to create.
Any assistance greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Darryn

Welcome to the forums.
I'm not sure which process you're using in iDVD, but I'd think about going back to iPhoto and exporting (Sharing) your slideshows as Full Quality Quicktime movies. You'll preserve the KB effects.
You can drag these movies into the menu button area of iDVD (not the drop zones) and label the buttons as you wish. All three buttons will fit on one iDVD menu.

The style 'dropShadowVisible' is only supported by type 'mx.controls.List' with the themes(s) 'spark

I'm still plagued by these warnings in my Flex project:-
The style 'dropShadowVisible' is only supported by type 'mx.controls.List' with the themes(s) 'spark'
Clicking on the warnings doesn't take me to the code.
The project started as SDK3.5. I've made it into an SDK4.0 project. It uses old Halo components throughout. I've chosen a Halo theme.
I can get rid of these warnings if I "Use Flex 3 compatibility mode". BUT, If I use that mode, I get also Run Time Errors - so I decided against this compatibility, and just edited the styling, deprecated syntax, and a few issues to make the app work.
I tried the solution someone suggested editing the flex-config.xml file, but it didn't work for me.
The application begins...
<mx:Application
xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
(I've obviously tried clean).

Yes, very irritating. "Only a warning" isn't the whole story, it's more than just an annoyance, it can potentially make all warnings useless.
Imagine cases where you have multiple warnings (often FB warnings turn up for EACH component resulting in many repeats, design mode is particularly bad with this). Having a ton of warnings that "aren't really warnings" obscures REAL warnings that we'd want to do something about (and makes errors harder to notice at first--you're so used to always seeing lines under the problems tab that you don't always notice a new error that just popped up). In the worst case scenario a valid warning that would have prevented a bug is missed and something goes to QA or production that should have been caught at compile time...
This wouldn't be nearly as annoying if we had some decent way of filtering these warnings from the problems tab. The current filter isn't good enough and only seems to allow you to filter out one message due to the way it works, but sometimes we see more than one type of "bogus" warning.
Voted and added to comments. I wonder if there's a feature request out there to improve warning filter capabilities? I also wonder why nobody complained about this before, it seems pretty easily visible. Is it the norm for people to just always ignore warnings? This isn't a good practice, warnings tend to exist for a reason.
(Btw, this is part of my reasoning for the claim that Halo seems to have become a "second class citizen" component set - hopefully Adobe can do something about this.)

Lost All Aperture Slideshow Themes

I lost all my Aperture slideshow themes after upgrading to iLife '11. At first everything worked fine and I was able to access the existing and new slideshow themes in Aperture from the new iPhoto '11 upgrade (as advertised). Then it all broke. Now I have no slideshow themes (or functionality) in either Aperture or in iPhoto for that matter. I'm not sure the exact moment that this all happened but just noticed it when trying to edit a few existing slideshows. The structure and music is all there but the slideshows are blank because there are no themes at all, just blank. I repaired permissions and checked file structures, did routine maintenance. Nothing works. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Success!
