Convert slideshow to an album?

I am using iphoto 5 for the first time to organize pictures. I made a large slideshow(450 pics) from my library. I wanted to make an album. Is there any way to convert a slideshow to an album?
One thing i want to do is to make a dvd of the pics that i can play on any regular dvd player. I want to show people my pics on their TV. I don't necessarily need a fancy slideshow. I would like to be able to pause on a picture.

When you say you want to make an “album” do you mean a book?
One thing i want to do is to make a dvd of the pics that i can play on any regular dvd player. I want to show people my pics on their TV. I don't necessarily need a fancy slideshow. I would like to be able to pause on a picture.
Share -> Send to iDVD and make the disk with iDVD. You must do this with iDVD that’s the only app that can create a disk your “regular DVD player” will undersand.

Does Lightroom 5 convert slideshows to HTML5?

I am looking at buying Photoshop Lightroom 5, but only if it makes or converts slideshows to HTML5.
Can this be done.
Question edited by: Ivan David

Actually, yes - sortof: a new feature of Lightroom 5 supports "correcting" aspect ratio (see manual lens corrections in develop module) which can make people look skinnier all over - i.e. it's not "selective" (you can't target body regions, or individual persons) like the advanced tools in Photoshop (e.g. liquify), but if it's all you need..

Front Row can't slideshow same named album

This is what i noticed and thought i'd just share my problems. In front row, i use folders to organize my artwork, so like Project A will have a ProjectAfolder and have multiple albums: illustration, concept, roughs, etc... projectBfolder also has the same setup: illustrations, concepts, etc.
So in Front Row, if i goto Project B and select to slideshow the Illustration Album, but it'll play whichever folder was named Illustration first (in this example, photos from Project A would play).
So i take it same name albums is a no-go for Front Row. Anyone else have the same experience? I'd go and rename em all, but i have too many project folders that i'd rather just slide show straight from Iphoto than goto Front Row.

For clarity, the problem is that Front Row can't open iTunes in the background as it always did before. So it can't access the library for playing songs and movies, reason why it remains stuck when I try to do so.
I have Front Row 1.3.1 (the last version available for Tiger users, right?) and iTunes 8.0.2. My system is fully updated and kept well. So I think there is a kind of compatibility bug between Front Row 1.3.x and iTunes 8, in fact Leopard users with Front Row 2 installed are not experiencing troubles.
Hope someone at Apple can do a check on Front Row 1.3 and solve this with a fix.

Converting Catalogs From Photoshop Album (2.0) to Photoshop Elements 13

My Photoshop Album currently holds some 23,000 photographs/jpgs from 2003 to date. Each is catalogued to provide a very high level of granularity to assist in identifying specific photographs and their subject content.
I have purchased Photoshop Elements to update the management of the collection. The Adobe information identifies it to be a suitable successor but indicates that there is likely to be some effort required to update the catalog. Using Catalog Manager I have attempted to Convert the old catalog which didn’t work because it “couldn’t be seen” in Elements. Further research of the Forum and other Adobe resources pointed to the Catalog Conversion Utility. Again this also failed to work.
I then reduced the number of photographs to about 4,500 (year 2014). I have noted by the way that this has had virtually no effect on the psa file size. As I gradually Deleted photos from the Catalog I have come across about 100 items which cannot be deleted and returns the following error message….
The ODBC data source reported the following error:
“[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Indicator variable required but not supplied on column number 10 (fDateTimeHigh)”
I have tried a number of ways to delete the photos including removing them from their folder; “Reconnecting the Missing File” with/without the same name in a different Folder; and generally getting myself very frustrated with my lack of knowledge. Googling/search for help and pointers hasn’t found the solution.
What or where can I find a way of deleting these errant files? (I have MS Access if this is a tool that might get me the solution.)
Note that one very old and small Catalog did convert and successfully integrated into Elements so it all works in principle. It seems to point to these problem jpgs.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Yes. Thanks for your reply. Just shows my age doesn't it! I've really got to upgrade my system from Windows 3.1.
Still it lasted me for quite a few years over its various issues and wasn't a bad investment for me considering I think it was a magazine cover freebie, though I can't remember whether it was issued on 5" or 3" disks!!!
Interesting to note that conceptually the original design was quite good and together with the new face recognition technology which is as good if not better than Picasa the PSE13 Organiser does a good job. It's a pity Adobe doesn't promote more of this side of the product. I wasn't able to find the replacement to Album as it was starting to struggle as the photo count increased and I hadn't been able to find an obvious replacement. Still that's over now.
All I have to do now is to raise a query as to how to order/sort certain tags and it's a near perfect product for me. Can't find the answer in the Manual(s) or FAQs - or I'm not using the correct query key words.

Purchase an IMac this spring with the intention of doing a few slideshows for my mother that is 85 years old and it seems that she will need to buy a IMac if she wants to view it. Tell me I am wrong and there is something I can do to convert slideshows!

Do you really need Idvd (which does not exist anymore on new IMac like mine) in order to get a slideshow made with Iphoto to work on a regular dvd reader?

Thats a website with the description how to export a movie.
MPEG-4 is the normal format, when your dvd-player can't read it, download "Miro Video Convrter"
(it's for free in the mac appstore)
Drag the MPEG-4 or the Quickime Movie into the box on the top and convert it as MP4, thats a "very"
normal format. It will be saved in the same folder you've got the original.
Drag the MP4 video onto your dvd and burn it. Than it should work.

Converting Catalog from Photoshop Album 2 to P. Elements 4 or 9

When converting the catalog from Photoshop Album 2.0 PE Versions 4.0 or 9.0, I get 43% through the conversion and then an error message pops up saying the file is corrupt and to repir first in the original version. I have looked up other forums which have been helpful recommending to hold Control key down whening opening P Album to firstly repair the catalog. This done successfully, with the catalog working in Album "successfully repaired", it still does not correct the error message when attemptng to re-convert the catalog into the later versions. I have about 12,000 photos in the catalog. Any ideas most welcome?

I am curious
Is PS Album 2 running on a Windows XP PC ? Does PS Album run normally ?
PSE 4 on the same PC ?
Is PSE 9 running on the same computer as Photoshop Album 2 ?
Or perhaps is PSE 9 running on a new computer with Windows 7 ?
For PS Album 2, in addition to doing the repair of the Catalog (which you have done), you should not have any disconnected files when you attempt a catalog upgrade. In PS Album 2, look for a command to Reconnect All Missing Files -- it may be under the File menu. Run that command.
Here is a reference to a discussion of problems upgrading catalogs

Converting from Adobe Photoshop Album

I am considering jumping to the MAC platform for my home computers. I think I have all the wireless device and application issues resolved, but one hurdle remains...
I have over 5000 photos edited, annotated, and organized in Adobe Photoshop Album. Is anyone aware of a conversion process to IPhoto 5?
This one issue could keep me on the PC platform...

Thank you for the suggestion, I have tried converting the catalog from the psa file as well as restoring from the psb (backup) file and neither one is working on my new computer. It partially converts the catalog from Photoshop Album (PSA) 2 but then all the file links are broken in Photoshop Elements (PSE) 9. I have about 10,000 photos in this catalog, so it is a lot of files. I still have my old computer so I tried installing PSE 9 on it and then it converted the PSA catalog fine, so I backup up the PSE 9 catalog on my old computer and tried doing a restore from this backup on my new computer and same thing, only some of the files come through.

No slideshows, frames or albums publish!

I have been trying to solve this for six hours and have a dead arm so give up!
My site (which I have had for a few years with no probs) will no longer publish albums, slideshows or frames. When I publish and 'View Site' on iWeb it is all there. But once I look in the folder, the html files are missing the slideshows etc - but the photos are all still in the media folder.
When trying to view the html files in my FTP the message says "A valid URL could not be created for the file you are attempting to preview. Make sure the file is in your site root or enter the URL manually." However, this is entered correctly within iWeb and has had no issues before.
I have also tried to upload to mobileme and it said that there was an error and could not upload. Is it possible this site could be corrupted? I have nine other sites on the same library which appear to upload Ok!
I can remember when I upgraded this site with iWeb'08 that there was an issue with a .js file within Script, but I have replaced the whole Script folder and still no joy!
The URL I should first direct you to is as I have no set up a temporary diversion from the first page. Photos on their own seem fine, but nothing more exciting
http://www.karlagowlett.co.uk/personal-projects/personal-projects.html
ANY light on this will be fab! I am off to sleep...

If you're publishing to MobileMe it probably was a server problem that finally got fixed. We've seen a lot of problems similar to this, i.e. web sites suddenly missing files after a publication and then suddenly fixing itself some time later.
Like your album/slideshows. What did you use for them.

Album vs Slideshow vs Smart Album

Hi,
I tried to change the order in a Smart Album, but with no luck.
Why can't you change the order in a Smart Album?
To me, slideshows and Albums are roughly the same. Ok, a slideshow can be altered much more for visual presentation. However the basics are the same, in both you can change the order of the pictures.
A Smart Album has the advantage of always showing ALL pictures applying to the Smart Album, however, now I want to change the order.
I don't want to end up having to make a Smart Album to collect all the photo's (when I import new ones, I don't need to drag and drop them to applicable albums) and then making a seperate Album or Slideshow, so I can change the order.
Anybody any advice on how to do this more efficient?
thanks
regards
Teeloo

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Why can't you change the order in a Smart Album?
You can. View Menu -> Sort Photos -> by keyword, by date, by title, ascending or descending
You cannot sort them manually, that's a characteristic of any Smart Item.

Converting slideshow from .mov to iPod loses the Ken Burns effect

I've been trying to make slideshows from iPhoto that will work on my iPod/iPhone. So far the only process I've found is to export to QT from iPhoto, then take that .mov and "convert for iPod". This works fine, however I noticed the nice Ken Burns effect is now gone.
Any thoughts?

Use a different app to make the movie.
But, if the destination is an iPod screen, then it's always going to be compressed heavily, so quality is always going to suffer. The same thing happens when your high quality photos are burned to DVD and folks wonder what's gone wrong - but it's the format of DVD itself that's the problem.
Other than that:
iPhoto's export options are pretty thin. Using something like PhotoToMovie or Final Cut Express in conjunction with Quicktime Pro will give you exported movies up to HD quality.

Burn slideshow made in Album setting to DVD

I created a very nice slide show using iphoto 9, added a song and used the scrapbook theme, however upon trying to burn it to a DVD I realized that I mistakenly created it while in an ALBUM and not a designated"slide show" folder. I created a new slide show folder and copied the pics to it, but the order is all out of sorts, the template is totally different, and not as nice as the original one made in the album setting.
I was able to export the album to the desktop and create a Quick Time file and a itunes file (?) but with regard to burning it to a DVD using iDVD is causing issues. Can a Quick Time folder be burned to a DVD?
Is there a way to export a album slide show with the scrapbook theme to a slide show folder while keeping the template the same. I have tried putting the pics into the slide show scrapbook template but the template is not as nice

Welcome to Apple Discussions,
the template is totally different
I'm a little confused by this comment. The theme choices available in the Album Slideshow and an iPhoto Slideshow are the same: Classic, Ken Burns, Scrapbook, Shatter, Sliding Panels, Snapshots
You should be able to choose the same theme you had in your Album slideshow in your iPhoto slideshow.
In regards to the order of your images that too can be retained.
If the images are arranged the way you want in your Album do the following:
__Click on the Album
__Click once on one of the images in the Album to highlight it
__Go to Edit > Selected All
__Click on the plus sign at the bottom left corner of iPhoto
__Click "Slideshow" at the top of the screen
__Check the box for "Use selected items in new slideshow"
__Click create
You should now have an iPhoto Slideshow with the pictures in the exact same order that they were in within the Album.
You can then click on theme and choose whatever theme you were using in the Album slideshow.
When you are ready to burn go to Share > Send to iDVD.
Hope that helps.

Photo slideshows from multiple albums

I am considering buy Apple TV just for use with photos, everything else is a bonus.
I know that in iPhoto you can select multiple albums and run them as a slideshow. Can you do the same with Apple TV or do you have to create one big slideshow in iPhoto ahead of time?

TV makes it's own slideshows from any of the albums you have synced from your iphoto library. So in short, you will need to make an album in iphoto with exactly what you want in your slideshow.
Not quite what you are after but on the up side, the slideshow in TV works really well, it is much simpler than creating a slideshow in iphoto, the only minor complaint I have about slideshows on TV is that the musc doesn't fade out as the slideshow finishes it just stops.

Converting slideshow from iphoto with itune playlist as background music

I have created a slideshow in iphoto with an itune playlist as the background music and when I convert it throught quicktime into a movie it only plays the first song from the playlist. All photos look good in the slide. This problem has started since I upgraded to quicktime 7.4. Does anyone have any suggestions. I have created slideshows with music before and converted them through quicktime with no trouble. I can't figure this one out?? Thank you

David,
I am sorry! I thought I was giving a solved to both of you. I was just playing around with fotomagico tonight. I love it...for $49. I know I have alot of posts and should be familiar with the solved thing. But most of my posts involve when I first started with Macs three years ago. I should have been more carefull. Non-the-less you were considerate enough to take your time out to help me. Much appreciated!
Some people on this FCP site are very critical of newbies often criticizing rather than helping. I rarely post here because of that.
I am a old time photographer (still have my darkroon stuff) who wants to get into a bit more of the film thing. Hence FCP. But what a learning curve! Mind you it is easier than Photoshop! (Now that's a learning curve coming from a film/darkroom guy).
Thanks again.

Photos Slideshow from iCloud Album Displays comments

When projecting a slideshow from a shared iCloud album standard iCloud Photo Sharing comments box (you know the like box) appear on bottom left over the projected photos. I can't find anyway to turn this off. There are no settings for this. Must be a bug?

When Apple support contacted, they acknowledged there was an issue with not all photos syncing
I haven't seen any issues posted in this forum before about missing pictures in albums, which hasn't been down to the file format being incompatible with tv, take a look at the photos which are missing are they all either JPEG, BMP, GIF, TIFF or PNG, if not they are not compatible.
Is any one else having problems?
I'm not experiencing this problem at all.
Also when trying to sync a iphoto slideshow, only the music plays on ATV, no images
Now that is strange, for now I'm going to assume that this might be that some of the photos in these slideshows are the photos that won't show up as per above. You are probably better solving the first issue before giving this one anymore thought.

Slideshow stuck--all albums. Just repeats the first picture. Help!

I have a macbook Air 10.9.1 OSXMavericks. My slideshow gets stuck on the first image in all albums. It's done this in the past once in a while but somehow corrected itself. I tried restarting, tried moving the iphoto library to a new location, tried making a test Library and moved a few pictures in there. No luck.
Help! Thanks :-)

Make sure that you do not have the repeat control turned on. See http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPod_touch_iOS4_UserGuide.pdf
