Display Photo's on apple tv

I used to use Aperture but now I use Adobe Lightroom to store and edit my photo's. Is there a way to view the photo folders on apple TV or should I still use Aperture with the files referenced, instead of being in the consolidated aperture library, just so I can view on the tv and sync my devices easily?
I hope this makes sence.
thanks DL

You have to double tap the button and then swipe from left to right to bring up airplay

Yes, select the photos you want to share via the iTunes advanced menu.

Using Azul media player app on my ipad Apple tv will only display sound but not video from movies. Any ideas on a fix. I set mirroring to on but it still does not display video. It will display photos and video recorded from my iphone.

Here are the steps for AirPlay:
Before starting Azul from your (running iOS 5.x/6.x) home screen where have have all your apps we need to turn on mirroring
On your iPhone 4S/5 or iPad 2 or 3, double-click the Home Button to view your recently-used apps.
Swipe all the way to the right to until you see the icon.
Note: If the icon does not appear, go to the "If AirPlay Mirroring is not visible or available on your mobile iOS device" section.
Tap the icon to see the list of available AirPlay devices.
Enable AirPlay Mirroring in this menu by tapping on an available Apple TV, then sliding the Mirroring slider to ON.
Now you should be seeing your iPad/iPhone on your TV.
Start up Azul now and using the settings icon on the top right corner go to the option that say "TV out" ON.
When you do that you will see an Orange screen
Now click "Done" and play the video you want to watch and it will AirPlay

Apple TV - No cigar for displaying photo's.

I am disappointed and frustrated by the new Apple TV facility to display photo's.
My photo's are stored on my computer in Nikon RAW format (NEF) I don't want to have to convert them to JPEG's just to do a photo session on the TV. I would also end up with two copies of every shot which is a real pain. If google picasa can display raw images why not apple TV and iTunes.
Also I can understand only having 720p for movies. (1080p/i would need to much broadband bandwidth.) But for displaying pictures which are only coming from a PC or MAC I would really want 1080p to make my photo's really shout at people.

With the old sync model I'd have to disagree - AppleTV would output to devices up to 1080p, so there was little point having video dimensions much beyond 1920x1080ish (non standard for any DSLR or digicam ) except to accomodate zooming/Ken Burns effects.
There was also little point sending 10-20MB files to AppleTV's limited storage when a JPEG would suffice.
With the new streaming model however this changes - itunes should be able to accomnodate RAW file streaming as nothing actually gets stored - it need not send the original RAW only a derivative. Th eonly problem is that for on the fly conversion, many RAW files would choke iTunes in the process, so what it needs is to pre-render the derivative file transparently to the user well in advance of needing to use it.
Personally I see no point in having true native RAW support on AppleTV.
AppleTV should really be used to show either the procesed RAW file content or an as shot derivative.
Assuming RAW display capability would give superior results is wrong.
The RAW file is the starting point, the digital negative, the derivative processed file is the final output.

Photos displaying 16:9 through Apple TV HDMI ??? How do it ?

How can I display photos in 16:9 on a SONY Bravia through a HDMI connection from the 160GB Apple TV ?
I was surprised today when I used my iPod Photo on a widescreen TV for a slideshow, and even without HDMI connection, the photos displayed in all screen (16:9).
In my Sony Bravia the photos displayed through the Apple Tv (HDMI connection), use less screen.
Why is that ?

nothing you can do about overscan really, unless your tv has the option to adjust the picture geometry (most don't).

A few questions re displaying photos (Am I missing something?)

I am a Windows XP user with a brand new AppleTV. I'm generally happy with it but am not impressed with the way it handles photos. Am I mistaken or is there no way to do the following?
- View subfolders of photos individually (it would seem not, based on others posts here.)
- View a slideshow that spans more than one folder.
- Set up a selective slideshow in advance (like a music playlist.)
- View thumbnails of the images in a folder, and go directly to the one I want to see.
- Jump ahead several photos in a folder instead of having to page through every single one.
- Zoom in on a portion of a photo that I have paused.
- Browse photos from the hard disk without syncing them.
- View photos by metada (EXIF tags, maybe.)
I know some of the above are a bit of a stretch, but others seem pretty straightforward. Is it really so hard to display a page of thumbnails? My cheap digital camera does it when I hook it up to my TV. Am I missing some way to do any of the above? What are the odds Apple will enable them in a future update? Thanks.

I totally agree with regard to the Auto/Advanced modes. Maybe the entire idea of streaming/browsing photos from the HD could be buried in the Advanced mode and hence never be an issue for those who want to retain the interface's initial simplicity.
It seems like looping could be added so easily. I used to keep my photos in folders arranged by year (2008), containing subfolders of months (2008_01, 2008_02, etc.) which in turned contained subfolders for each day (20080101, 20080102, etc.) I wanted to be able to view each day's folder individually through AppleTV, so I have moved all the individual "daily" folders into the My Photos root level. This is all well and good (except that scrolling through that many folders is a little clunky*), but it also means that no slideshow can display photos from more than a single day. Adding one option -- "Slideshows span folders: Yes/No" would solve that problem and make it much for flexible for me (and others, I presume.)
I know, I know, I am attempting to use the device for purposes for which it was not intended. Still, it's a fun little box, especially for the price (and who knew I'd get such a kick out of watching YouTube on my tv?)
On the other hand, whoever incorporated the 24-hour limitation for watching an entire rented movie must live in a household without little children around, but that's a subject for another thread.
*Here's a crazy idea: Maybe the basic "Auto" version of the AppleTV should remain exactly as it is, and the full-featured "Advanced" mode require the purchase of an optional advanced remote control that incorporates the famed iPod clickwheel for scrolling quickly through subfolders and/or very long lists of folders?

HT201317 How do I include all photos in photo stream on Apple TV?

I can only see photo stream photos as of march 19, but I have them from a year ago. How do I get them to photo stream on my Apple TV? They are on my iPad under photo stream

iCloud only keeps photos in your photo stream for 30 days, but they will remain on your iPad (up to 1000 photos) until you delete them. I believe Apple TV will only display the photos that are still in your photo stream, not photos earlier than 30 days ago.
If the older photos are on your iPad, you could always open them on your iPad and use AirPlay to display them on your Apple TV.

TS2972 no photo slideshow on Apple tv3

Have set up recently purchased apple tv 3 - set up home sharing and selected photos to share from itunes. These load fine, show up individually on the apple tv, but no image appears when selecting slideshow.
Sometimes the screen shows loading and pinwheel, then this freezes, otherwise the screen is blank.
All photos appear loaded in photo screen and individually enlarge when selected.
Screensaver doesn't work at all, unless 'Floating' mode selected.
Any solutions to this?

I had this exact same problem with my 3rd generation Apple TV up until yesterday. I also have a 2nd generation Apple TV which wasn't having the problem and was able to display photo slideshows.
Just in case anyone else is still having the same problem. The solution for me was to restore my Apple TV to factory settings.

Displaying photo's vertically from slideshow to appleTV

When I start a slideshow from photo's on my iphone and airplay to my apple TV, the pictures are mostly sideways, but if I just swipe through photo's they seem to be all displaying just fine. Do I need to configure something on my iphone?

Image quality for displaying photos

I like to use my Apple TV (3rd gen) for displaying photos taken with a variety of devices - Fuji X100s, iPhone 5, Nikon d7000. The output from these devices looks great on my 3Gen iPad but quite a bit less so on the 1080p Samsung tv, they almost look a little pixelated. On the other hand, Apples stock screen saver photos look great on the same tv.
I don't believe that my cameras don't take good enough jpg's to display well and have concluded that Apple may be doing something to their photos that I haven't figured out.
Any suggestions?

Not all my photos are great to begin with, many are taken in poor lighting conditions, but the good photos are equally as good as the stock photography.

I figured out how to put photos onto the Apple TV Screen-Saver

I was having trouble using photos with the Apple TV screen saver.
I got as far as putting them into the photo stream, but some photos were crooked, with no way of editing them.
I called Apple, they didn't know what to do.
I am submitting this after calling Tech Support at Apple, wanting to give them the information...don't know if they really took it to heart. I figured this out myself with the help of my son.
I want to share it with others.
So, let me begin:
I texted my son, he had set it up once for me, but I deleted the file.
So he told me to edit the photos on my iPhone, in my photostream. Well there wasn't any to edit. The file was not there.
So going through my PC, I clicked on "My Computer"
I clicked onto "iCloud Photos"
I get what looks like the above photo. Click on "New photo stream"
You will then get this screen. In the "to" field, send it to yourself. And then name your file, click "next".
It will then give you this screen:
When all the photos load, click done.
THEN, go to your Apple TV.
Settings:
Click on "Screen Saver"
Click on "Photos"
Click on "iCloud Photos"
Click on the file you named on your PC.
Now you will find, like me on "previewing" that some pictures were not straight.
Go to your iPhone, click on your "Camera Roll"
Click on "Photo Stream"
Then you will see your file that you created for your screen saver.
Click onto your file, from there you can click on the crooked photo and click "Edit", it asks to save it to "Camera Roll". Click there.
What I did then was delete the crooked picture and at the bottom of this file within your "Photo Stream", go to the bottom of the photos, it will have a tile with a plus sign in it. Click on that to add from your "Camera Roll" the corrected picture.
Do this for every crooked photo.
ALL DONE!
When done, go to your "Camera Roll" and delete these photos.

This issue is resolved, through the generous advice of folks on this page.
See my reply to Apple (2nd gen.) photo shuffle. The Fix that I posted works for Apple 3 Gen, which was just purchased Dec. 27,2013.
Thanks to all
