Customizing order of photos in web gallery & slideshow

I know this was requested during the beta but.....
Is there a way to customize the order that photos appear in a web gallery or slide show? By default Lightroom 1.0 displays them in the order they were imported. I want to move them around but can't find a way to do so.

Do a collection of images to use in either. You can drag and drop the order in a collection. Drag from the middle of a thumbnail. The module will remember presets associated with a Collection as apposed to a group sellection.
This is very, very old info listed in numerous threads.

How to Resize Web Gallery Slideshow

I uploaded some photos of my wifes Xmas party
http://gallery.mac.com/kjritchie#100068&bgcolor=black
I elected just to allow viewing, no downloading. My understanding is each photo upload is 800x600. How do I prevent Web Gallery slideshow displaying these photos in full screen mode? 800x600 expanded to fill a 20" monitor looks bad.

Kelvin:
You can't. The software that generates the gallery and slideshow is server side and there are no files to edit to change the size. I suppose you could mount the iDisk, locate the gallery folder in the Web/Sites/_gallery folder and replace the 800 x 600 file with a full sized version. However, each photo has it's own folder and several different image files and they are not the same file name as what you have in the iPhoto library. The file used for the slideshow is named web.jpg. So you'll have to rename each file web.jpg and put it in the folder for that photo.
Happy Holidays
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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), 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 08 libraries 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.

Brigde CS5 in Windows 7 64bit - drops out photos in Web Gallery preview

Is there a limit to the number of photos that web gallery will display? I created a web gallery and then started over again as instructions I read stated that I should put the TITLE on each photo. Once I put the title in, out of 24 photos that use to display, only 20 now display.
Can someone explain why this is happening? I haven't even gotten to the point of trying to embed in my website yet. Perhaps Bridge isn't the best tool to use?
Thanks to anyone who can offer any insight as to why this is happening.
Daisey

And right you are! After posting this message I started reading through all the help files and finally did find the same answer. Now my problem is the linking as I have a very strange hosting set up. Two sites, same directory. So all my images have broken links. Something new to work out!
Cheers!

Using a shared photo in Web Gallery

My wife and I share a computer and we each have a .Mac account. However, all of our pictures are in iPhoto under her login.
I would like to publish a Web Gallery using my .Mac account and photos shared from her iPhoto library.
However when I include a shared photo in the Web Gallery it imports it into my iPhoto Library, giving me two copies of the same photo, one in her iPhoto library and another in mine, thereby duplicating the photo which is not what I want.
Is there a way to use a shared Photo in Web Gallery and maintain the relationship to the original photo and not duplicate the picture?

Roger
No, because as far the the Mac is concerned, it's not yours to Share until it's in your Library.

Can an Adobe Bridge web gallery slideshow file be inserted in Dreamweaver as part of the homepage?

Hello. I am designing the homepage of my first website in Adobe Dreamweaver CS6. And I would like for the page to include a slideshow that automatically plays as soon as a visitor opens the webpage. I am interested in using Adobe Bridge to create the slideshow using the feature "web gallery." The tutorials that I've seen describe how to create the web gallery slideshow, then show how it appears when uploaded to the web as an html file through FTP to a server. It appears as a separate page. And I notice that the web gallery file is an index file. I would appreciate knowing how to include the html file as part of the homepage. Will simply renaming the file from being "index.html" to something like "my_first_slideshow.html" make possible including it in the site structure? Or will doing so cause it and the files attached to it to be inaccessable when viewed in a browser? If it can be included in the site, is an <iframe> needed to be in the code for the slideshow to fit into? Thank you.

Maybe you best try this question in the dedicated Dreamweaver forum?:

How to view photos on Web Gallery?

So, on TV I go to Photo> .Mac>Web Gallery>then I type the web gallery web address (not easy with the remote)
I tried a few times, I get a message saying that Tv can't find it. Same web gallery works fine on my Mac.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Props for figuring that one out. For those who stumble on this post -- use the .mac user name without "@mac.com" -- just the user name itself.

Autoplay for Bridge Web Gallery Slideshows

Hi all,
I feel like I've searched the entire internet looking for an answer to this question. Does anyone know how to set the Bridge CS4 Web Gallery Slideshows to start playing as soon as loaded?
I've dug around in all the output files and can't find an autoplay function anywhere. This seems like it should be a built in option for the gallery output.
Any help or suggestions would be VERY appreciated.
Thanks!

Syncing photos from Web Gallery

I've been using my web gallery for the past year, and it has worked out great. Family from all over are able to view and upload pictures, which is perfect for me to "sync" and then make fun calendar's, books and slideshows out of. I recently created a new album of my cousin's wedding and have been able to sync just fine until the other day. Now, there are dotted outlines of new pictures in iPhoto, but not the pictures themselves....any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks,
Kat

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That occurs when iPhoto loses the path to the original file. It can happen if there's an interruption while iPhoto is writing to the database file, Librry6.iPhoto, or if the user renames or moves files within the iPhoto Library package from the Finder.
Try the three fixes below in order as needed:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
2 - rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - 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
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos.
3 - start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open Photo window
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
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.

Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

IPhoto '08: Events, (Smart) Albums, Web Gallery & Slideshows ???

I recently upgraded to iPhoto '08 and I am confused.
I must admit I used iPhoto before to look at my pictures but I never bothered with any albums or slideshows or whatever, but now with more and more pictures I need to organize.
So this new iPhoto comes with all sorts of way to organize such as Events, (Smart) Albums, Web Galleries & Slideshows. Quiet frankly I am LOST as to what to use when or for what ???
Okay I can get Web Galleries is for posting on the .mac as a gallery. Why did they do this again if you iWeb that creates photo pages???? Why is this not integrated in iWeb????
Now moving on. What's the difference between Events, (Smart Albums) and Slideshows. They seem to be ways to organize your photos. BUT why have THREE of them? When to use which one?
Any help or comment appreciated as I am confused ....

Events, Smart Albums, Albums and slideshows are different. Here is a short explanation of each:
Events= Every time you import photos from your camera or via drag & drop a new Event is created. This is the basic (automatic) way that iPhoto organizes your photos. Events are date based and can be split or merged based on your preferences. For example, you go to a birthday party and take a few photos, a few days later you go to a picnic and take a few photos. When you import the images, iPhoto will split the pictures into two distinct events. (Check The iPhoto Preferences/Events for some options).
Albums= These are containers that you create to easily group photos in any way you prefer (ex. Combine photos from a couple of holiday parties into one album). You can drag and drop photos in Albums. When you delete a photo in an Album it does not get deleted from the main library. Albums contain links to the photos, not the actual photos. You can manually re-order the photos in an Album. It is always a good idea to create an Album first, edit and re-order your photos there and then create a slideshow, book or web gallery from the Album.
Smart Albums= These are Albums you create that have specific rules, they automatically get updated every time a photo meets the specific set of rules. Smart Albums (SA) can have one or more rules. ex. You have 2 different cameras and you automatically want to see the photos captured by each camera. You create 2 Smart Albums that contain the Rule = Camera Model > is > Nikon D40 (or whatever). Next time you import photos from that camera, the SA will show these photos automatically. (Note: These are links, but if you delete an image, unless you delete it permanently it will re-appear in the SA, as long as it still has the required value of the SA. You can sort by Keyword, Ratings etc using Smart Albums, and you can have multiple sort rules, like Keyword = Birthday and Rating is 5 stars.
Slideshows= iPhoto has 2 types of slideshows available. The first is the "quick" slideshow. You can select any Album or Smart Album click on the Play button, set the transition select the music and you are ready to go. The 2nd type, the Cinematic Slideshow, are albums created specifically as Slideshows. They contain photos you selected and you want to see on your screen in a slideshow presentation. You can set specific transitions between slides, set individual slide times, select music and specify where the Ken Burns effect will start in a slide and where it will end. They are more elaborate than the Quick slideshows.
Web Galleries = are a quick way to share photos with friends, you just select the Photos and click on the Web Gallery button. You set some basic options and publish. Visitors get to see the photos in 3-4 different views including a slideshow, but you can also allow the viewers to add photos to your web gallery. Every time you add a new photo to a web gallery album in iPhoto, it will update the web site when you click the little publish icon next to the name. You can also set tan option to make this happen at specific intervals. (Check the iPhoto Preferences/Web Gallery).
I hope this answered some of your questions. Good luck.

Keeping photos in web gallery

I would like to delete photos from my iPhoto storage but do not want the deleted from web gallery. Is this possible? Everytime I try, the web gallery in iPhoto syncs with the web gallery on my .mac account. Maybe there is someway to stop the sync for that particular gallery? I don't know how to do this.

You could create an iWeb photo page with those photos and once published delete those photos from your library. The web page would have a URL address just like the web gallery does only the iWeb page has a little more pizzazz than the web gallery.

Web Gallery - Slideshow(s)

I have created my first web gallery - These are my issues when viewing the gallery on internet:
1. If you double click the first photo you see a rather small pic and a description of what the subject is about (hitting i [info] can give you the further info on the pic). Why is the photo not the same size as that shown when I select to view the gallery in slideshow?
2. When in a gallery if you click "Slideshow" it proceeds through the photos in the gallery at about 3 second intervals - how can I adjust the slideshow controls so that the turnover is slower, like 12 second intervals? I understand that a viewer can click "pause" to slow the process, but see 3 below.
3. When I review the gallery on my Powerbook, using Safari, as a slideshow, above the slide the description/explanation of what the pic is about is displayed. When I enter the website via Windows, I see the pic OK but there is no description of what it is about. How do you show the explanation of what the pic is about in Windows?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Vicj:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. 1 - it's just the nature of the beast and can't be changed. 2 - the software that controls web galleries is server side and there's no features changeable by the user except those in iPhoto while creating the gallery.
If you want to add a description to the picture that will be displayed change the title to the description you want to use. An easy way to do that is to first add your descriptions to the description field in iPhoto. Then use this Applescript to copy the description to the Title field: AppleScript to copy iPhoto Description to Title. Be sure to read the comments regarding the one error in the script that is easily corrected.
Later you can change the titles back to the file name (if that was what they were originally, by using the Photos->Batch Change menu option.

Text under photos in Web-gallery

How do I Put my own text under the photos when I create a web-gallery? If I use Custom, it will show the same under all photos, and if I use titles, I have to rename all, and then I can not use the same title for some...
Lars

Enter the data (text) into each images IPTC caption field and then ask LR to display it from that field.

Captioning and Keywords NOT retained on download of photos from Web Gallery

I noticed that the CAPTIONING information for photos on a web gallery ARE viewable while on the web gallery page(clicking on info), but are NOT included if you choose to download the photo. Not seen in the photo on download by viewing EXIF info, or "get info" from the Finder, nor available if I reimported the downloaded photo back into iPhoto 8.
Am I missing something regarding the way to store information. I had uploaded a lot of photos with important information for family members downloading embedded in the captioning??
BTW, the keywords ALSO were not downloaded or retained.

Scott:
When published to a web gallery that information is not added to the file but to the slideshow files. The only time that info is written to the files is upon export with the checkbox selected to add Title and Keywords and Comments.
Even if the metadata is written to the files at the time they are imported into iPhoto, the files that get uploaded to the iDisk have that metadata stripped out of the file.
Do you Twango?

Picturepro:
Are you running the latest version of iPhoto, 7.0.2? Additionally, do you have any quote marks, tildes (~) or other non standard characters in the gallery name or file names?
Do you Twango?
