DVD Slideshow to still pics in iPhoto

I just got married and the photographer gave me a DVD slideshow of about 300 pictures from my wedding. When I put it in the powerbook or in a DVD player ot plays like a movie.
My question is can I take a freesze frame and save it (or convert it to a jpg so that I can save it in iPhoto??? What software would I do this with?
Thanks Much!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What you'll need to do is take screen shots of the individual slides. The Apple provided screen capture application will not copy DVDs. You'll need something like Snapz X. However the resolution of the image you get will be only 72 dpi which will be good only for screen display.
You might look in the DVD to see if the original files were included with the DVD. It would be in a folder somewhere on the disk.
Do you Twango?
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Photos stored in DVD-ROM section of DVD Slideshow

I have created a DVD Slideshow using 50 pictures from iphoto and I checked "Add image files to DVD-ROM" box. I have done this several years ago but am totally baffled as to to link these images to a button which will allow access to them from the finished DVD. HELP!
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 512 MB SDRAM, 800Mghz

Hi cputzi
You can do this w/in DVDSP.
Did you already check out the iDVD Help Menu Procedure?
To create a slideshow in iDVD:
1. Click Media to open the Media pane, then click Photos to display your iPhoto albums.
2. Drag an album to the DVD menu. A button is created that links to the images. The button has the name of your iPhoto album and automatically displays the first slide in the slideshow.
3. If you want to change the button label, select the button and type a new name.
4. Double-click the button to open the slideshow editor.
5. The slideshow editor shows thumbnails of the photos in the slideshow. Drag the slider to change the size of the thumbnails, so you can see more slides at once, or fewer slides with more detail.
6. Add, arrange, or delete slides from the slideshow to create the sequence you want.
• To add other images, drag files or folders from the Finder to the slideshow editor.
• To reorder the images, select the slides you want to move and drag them to a different position.
• To delete an image, select it and choose Edit > Delete.
7. Click Settings and select the settings you want for the slideshow:
• "Loop slideshow" makes the slideshow repeat continuously until the viewer moves to a different part of the DVD.
• "Display navigation arrows" shows navigation arrows on the screen to indicate where the viewer is in the slideshow.
• "Add image files to DVD-ROM" adds copies of the slideshow images to the DVD disc so viewers can download them to their computers.
• "Show titles and comments" lets you add titles and comments to your slideshow images that are visible in the slideshow.
8. Click the Transition pop-up menu and choose a transition to smoothly move from one image to the next.
9. Click the Slide Duration pop-up menu and choose the length of time you want each slide to stay on the screen. Be sure to allow enough time for the transition you selected.
10. To let the viewer advance through the slideshow manually using a remote control, choose Manual.
11. Note: If you're adding a soundtrack, you don't need to set the slide duration.
12. To add a soundtrack, click Media to open the Media pane, then click Audio to find a song in your iTunes library or GarageBand that would make a nice background for the slideshow.
13. Drag the song or audio track from the Media pane, or from another location on your hard disk, and drop it in the audio well in the slideshow editor.
14. iDVD automatically adjusts the overall duration of the slides to match the length of the audio clip. The slide duration is changed to "Fit to Audio." You can change the duration if you want.
15. Drag the "Slideshow volume" slider to set the volume. You can check the volume when you preview the slideshow.
Note: When you add RAW images from iPhoto, the RAW files will appear in the slideshow as JPEG images. The RAW files are placed in the DVD-ROM portion of the disc if you choose that option.
Hope this is helpful

Pogue says still pics look awful in dvd--true?

David Pogue (in iMovie & iDVD 5) says "Mac fans try to turn their digital photos into DVD slideshows using iMovie--and find out that the photos look terrible" once the iMovie is burned to dvd. He blames this on "iMovie's low-quality photo-rendering..." (p. 489) He suggests applying the Ken Burns effect to all photos, thereby turning them into video clips rather than stills. Ok, fine, but I want stills in my iMovie. I know that you can utilize the Burns effect without actually "moving" the picture. Will this, though, bypass the poor quality of the pictures on dvd?

Will this, though, bypass the poor quality of the pictures on dvd?
Yes.

I am new to mac. Do I need to store photos on the hard drive to use iPhoto or can I store pics on a network drive and still edit with iPhoto?

I am new to mac. Do I need to store photos on the hard drive to use iPhoto or can I store pics on a network drive and still edit with iPhoto?

iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, exporting, saving edits and sharing the photos.
See this article

for more. Note also the comment:
“Additionally, storing the iPhoto library on a network rather than locally on your computer can also lead to poor performance or data loss.”

DVD Slideshow Images Flickering

I was a Window user. Now I am a new MAC user. I bought iMac mainly to do slideshows and video. I heard that MAC is great for slideshows and videos. iLife is great. But.. There is always a but. This is a big BUT and I sincerely hope that going to MAC is not a disappointment. Here goes.
The slideshows in iPhoto 08 and iDVD 08 are great but after burning into DVD the images flickers.
Some part of the picture flickers not the whole picture. Even the add on text on the picture flickers.
In Windows I used Ulead Movie Factory, it had the same problem until Ulead implemented Anti Flicker option. Selecting this option makes the DVD pictures perfectly still like viewing your photos on the computer.
Is there an Anti Flicker setting in iDVD or iPhoto?
I am not producing DVD slideshow at the moment until I can find a solution as this flickering thingy is infuriating. A still picture must be still and not flickering on certain part of the picture/image. Railway tracks flickers madly, leaves on a tree flickers, blinds flickers, the face flickers, etc
Please helppppppp. Frustrated. I cannot go back to Windows and I do not want to. I am sure others must have this problem too. I pray that I have done something wrong else there won't be a solution until Apple can fix it. Prayyyy
Thanks. Sorry for being so long winded.

Guys,
I am back. Sorry for taking so long. My wife has been grumbling about me spending so much time on the computer, blah, blah..
Again thank you all for all the suggestions. I have look at Photo to Movie tutorial. It is pretty good but I think Fotomagico is better. Yet to try it. Soon I hope.
As what Howard Topoff said, Ken Burns causes the Flickering and he is correct. I created a slideshow in iPhoto without Kenburns and send to iDVD. There are no flickers what so ever. The quality I got is as per Ulead DVD Movie Factory. Now, at least I am getting the same quality as before. I expect it to be better but hey... It is really a pity as I like Ken Burns a lot.
One thing maybe you guys can explain. iPhoto send to iDVD(not exporting) by creating a QT movie. I dragged the QT movie to Toast which has the option to tell you what type of file it is. Toast reported that the QT movie file is MPEG 4 video, 720x540 AND 13.5 fps. I would expect the fps will be around 25 or 30. Shouldn't iPhoto be sending out as high quality as possible so that iDVD will be able to recode it to suit PAL or NTSC? Unbelievable.
It is silly for iPhoto export option which can only export the biggest is large 640x480 and iDVD will have to recode it to 720 x 576 for PAL TV.
I have started to learn iMovie. iMovie has at least the option to set what QT quality is required when I Export Using Quicktime option. I can set whether it is PAL/NTSC/H.264,etc., frame rate, progressive or interlace, aspect ratio, etc. iPhoto has none of these. Is this an Apple oversight? I am doubtful.
Hey, rightly or wrongly, I am beginning to be a sceptic when it comes to Apple's intentions as those things that are missing are basics that should be part of the software.
Hopefully in a few days time, I can post more, not if my wife can help it. Nag, nag, nag.
F Shippey, PAL is 720 x 576. I will try a few photos by resizing as per your suggestions but first I would like to look at iMovie.
Cheers.

Share pciture files in DVD slideshow

I am creating a DVD slideshow of a recent trip and would like to know how others (the receipients of the DVD) can download the pictures for their own.
I have setup the slideshows and know how to create them on iDVD from iPhoto, then setup the music, theme, etc.
But I also want my friends to be able to access and save the pics to their computers, aside from just being able to view the DVD. Can this be done?
Thanks

Can this be done?
Yes. See iDVD 6.0 Help - Adding files to the DVD-ROM portion of a disc at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/74.html

How do I create my own favorite template for DVD slideshows? I used to be able to select this from pulldown menu, but cannot now do so. I am directed straight to templates, which take more memory. I have a large slideshow, and need all the space I can get

First, how do I create my own favorite theme template for DVD slideshows? I used to be able to select this from pulldown menu, but cannot now do so. I am directed straight to already existing themes, which take more memory. I have a large slideshow, and need all the space I can get. I just want to use a picture as my DVD cover, and then insert a slideshow. Also, when I try to burn my 8.5gb double sided slideshow, all that burns is the music. It is a large slideshow, a memorial on the life of my now deceased brother. This means a lot to me and to my family, and I am having so much trouble trying to burn it. I have gone into Project View and selected appropriately. The bar shows I have room to burn this DVD, but it does not burn. I have burned so many DVDs in the past, but this one just will not burn. I am so confused at this point. I will say this is the first 8.5gb I have attempted to create and burn. My specs list a 7.7gb or 4.7gb as operable....but there are no 7.7gb dvds. I had to purchase 8.5gb. Help? What am I doing wrong? I have spent so much time on this, and just cannot figure it out.

Final Cut is a separate, higher end video editor. The pro version of iMovie.
Give iPhoto a look at for creating the slideshow. It's easy to assemble the photos in an album in iPhoto, put them in the order you want and then make a slideshow of them. You can select from various themes and transitions between slides and add music from your iTunes library.
When you have the slidshow as you want use the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window and export with Size = Medium or Large.
Save the resulting Quicktime movie file in your Movies folder.
Next, open iDVD, choose your theme and drag the QT movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Then follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
The reason I suggest iPhoto is that I find it much easier to use than iMovie (except for the older iMovie 6 HD version). Personal preferences showing here.

Please help me! I imported my pics to iphoto but I can't open them now. I can't see them on full Screen/edit them like before. All I get is a exclamation mark when I double click on them. I don't have copies, can someone please help me?

I imported all my pics to Iphoto and I can't open/edit them now. When I double click on them, I only get an exclamation mark. Please help me I don't have copies. I tried burning them to a cd but it didn't work. Can someone please help me?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Need Help! Encore/PRPro 5.5 Slideshows w/ stills & videos: Best workflow/settings?

Warning! Rookie here--I apologize ahead of time for the forthcoming dumb questions!
Gear: 4 month old iMac, 12GB RAM, Lion. CS5.5 Master Collection.
First, my goals:
*Take 4-500 large DSLR stills (shot in 24MB RAW and JPEGs from 6-17 or so MBs with some Sony panorama shots sprinkled in) and 20 AVCHD/Sony HD videos (only 10 to 30 seconds long and labeled as ".MTS" files) and create a slideshow with the videos interspersed among the stills.
*No audio, manual advance.
*Create high quality file from Blu-Ray setting for playback over Apple TV from iMac or iPad 3 to LED HDTV (1920 x 1080, I believe).
I've watched Lynda.com's tutorials regarding Encore CS.5 the past few days (watched the Premiere Pro course a while back for just a very short video DVD and I did OK--but no stills/no slideshow), but I'm quite confused and frustrated. For example, I tried to import the stills as assets and got an error message saying I didn't have the right software, leading to having to hit "return" for a few hundred error messages!
After lots of google searches and searching this forum, I surmised my files sizes are too large. OK, but that's about as far as I got for this stage. Then I saw Bill Hunt's article on workflow and about converting all stills to .psd files, so that may be next...?
But I would really like somebody to walk me through things that are still confusing given I am not familiar with all the terminology and things such as pixel/frame sizes etc.
Given my goals, what would be the best workflow/course of action? I don't need every detail given that I have the Lynda.com tutorials, e.g., I have some menus set up from a background image with text that I made in Photoshop and I get the linking procedure for creating buttons that work once the image is a item in Encore.
The main questions, I guess are:
1. What should I do with with my stills to get them into Encore? Should I do as Bill says and make them .psd files? How do I then get Encore to accept them as assets? I'm really confused about the sizes to use during conversion--4:3 vs. 16:9 and/or 720 vs. 480 vs. HD sizes (1000 x 750?!). I gather this should be done in Photoshop, but not clear how, exactly. (My head's about to explode reading up on file types, sizes, pixels, for the slideshows with stills and videos blah, blah, blah....).
2. How do I get my short videos into Encore? Do I create a timeline in Premiere Pro first? Should I create a timeline or sequence with both stills and videos in Premiere Pro and use the import sequence feature into Encore?
3. Where are the stills and videos best interspersed--Encore or PRPro?
4. Given Encore will only create slideshows of 99 stills, once I create multiple slideshows in the project panel, am I correct that I link to the second, third, etc. slideshows with "end actions" and the viewer will see a seamless transition? I plan on using some chapters for different sections of a 10 day vacation, so will there be any conflict with the multiple slideshow transitions?
Thanks so much for your help! This trip was a dream come true as I hadn't had a vacation in 12 years and I was finally able to take my now teenage boys on a proper wilderness adventure a few weeks ago! I would really like to be able to show everyone a nice slideshow and eventually give the boys a Blue-ray disc they will always have as a keepsake etc. In other words, lots of emotion wrapped up in this one.....thanks again!

1. Your images are square pixels, Blu-ray (BD) is square pixels, keep your images square pixels when you resize them. That means a Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR) of 1.0. Fortunately, PS defaults to square pixels. As for the frame size, the video will be the limiting factor if you want it interspersed with the stills. Determine the frame size and frame rate of the video that was shot and use that as the basis for resizing your stills. If you don't plan on doing any panning/zooming, then you resize your stills to match the video frame size (1920x1080 or 1280x720 are the likely choices). If you plan on mild panning/zooming, then increase the size of the resized stills by roughly 30% in both dimensions. More dramatic panning/zooming will require a larger increase in frame size; just don't go over 4000 pixels in either dimension. And remember that video work makes any DPI or PPI value irrelevant. The video frame size is exactly what it is, in pixels. No more, no less.
2. and 3. If you want video mixed in with stills, then you'll have to put them all together in a Premiere Pro timeline before sending them to Encore. Unfortunately, that makes the manual advance feature you want problematic. It can be done, sort of, but it probably won't work the way you expect.
4. If you use Pr to create your stills/video timeline, there is no 99 slide limit. Make the Pr timeline seamless and it will remain seamless in En. If you do a slideshow in En, then moving from one 99-still slideshow to another will not be seamless.
NB: the key to your project will be planning. Take and old-fashioned pencil and paper and layout how you want the audience to view the finished BD. Do you want just the main program? Do you want quick and dirty slideshows of just still images that they can access by menu? And so on. You can make *almost* any navigation scenario work in En, but you need to know beforehand how you want the audience to get from here to there and back again.

How do I create a DVD slideshow

Hello! I would like to create a DVD slideshow with pictures from over the year. I tried opening IDVD but I got an alrert message saying I wouldn't be able to burn my slideshow to a DVD on my system. Is there a way to use IPhoto for this project?
My friend created one in 5 minutes using a program on Vista Windows. I don't know why I am having a such a hard time with this. I thought Mac was supposed to be easy for this type of thing. I hope you can help me! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your system configuration with us. You are more than up to speed on your apple laptop. There really shouldn't be any issues here.
But I guess that's why we have these forums, right?
There is a difference between making a slideshow for iDvd as opposed to sending it over the internet. The latter will normally deal in significantly reduced file sizes.
To start with your question about emailing images or rather slideshows.... I'm not at all surprised your mac is saying it's too large to email. Sending high res images over the internet will slow downloads of said image/s on the receiving end to a crawl. Unless you have G-Mail, most standard e-mail accounts will max out at about 10 MB, not to mention bandwidth limitations. That's not a whole lot of working room when sending video (as in a QT movie) or slideshows of any significant length nor high quality images. You must take every effort to keep the slideshow very short and sweet. A few images, moderately sized tends to work rather well over the internet depending on the type of connection. Hopefully you have high speed cable or DSL (because that's what it will take unless unless the person receiving the email is into waiting a few hours for a typical 56K modem).
I believe iPhoto allows you to make such a slideshow (targeted specifically for emails) and to vary its size when actually sending the email. There's an option on the bottom lower right of the email you are composing to send it as a small file size, medium, or Actual size. Actual sizes will slow things down a bit. You may also want to post this very same question to the iPhoto Forum or iWeb (or both) for more detailed info.
Hope this helps but if not just come on back.

After upgrading to OS X Snow Leopard, I cannot view my pics in iPhoto

I upgraded my iMac with OS X Snow Leopard early last year (2010). Ever since the upgrade, a lot of my pics in iPhoto cannot be seen, but I still get a dotted border of where the pics are when viewing. All I get is a gray image with a triangle & exclamation mark in the middle of the triangle. I can see thumbnails of the pics, but when I click on the selected image, it comes up as a blank. Make sense? Can someone help me please?
Thanks
RANGI

i am sorry - i did do all of that. But I am hitting a brick wall. The closing comment after I did so said install complete and followed up by saying :
You may have installed Mac OS X software that is older than your current version of Mac OS X, and may not work properly. To ensure the best experience please download and install the latest version of the Mac OS X Combo update from http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/ . You should do this even if you currently have the latest Mac OS X update installed.
BUT when I check to see what version of QT I have it says 10 (not 7) even though I clicked on 7. I think I need to uninstall everything and start again. Sadly, i dont even know how to do that!

Pics in iPhoto Disappeared after renaming iPhoto Library File in Finder

Friends,
I was working on my parents computer in an effort to help them organize their files, etc.
They have iPhoto 6 and I renamed the iPhoto Library folder in Finder. Obviously this is not a good idea since now there is no content (pictures) in iPhoto.
This action made a new folder (with the new name) in Finder's 'pictures' section. So, I tried to copy and paste (or maybe I dragged it, cant recall) the contents of the newly named folder back under the 'iphoto library' folder however, that did not make the photos reappear in iPhoto.
After moving (I think I highlighted & dragged) the file contents of the newly named folder back in the 'iPhoto Library' folder, I deleted the newly named/created file.
It appears as though the images are still in the original & modified folders however, no pics in iPhoto.
And, the irony of the entire action is that I was renaming the 'iPhoto Library' folder to 'iPhoto Library - Do Not Touch' so my parents would not mess with the content as they have done in the past. Apparently, I am the one who needs to stay away.
Thanks a bunch!

Thanks Badunit, and yes, you are correct about not having the newly named library to choose when holding down the Option key while opening iPhoto.....b/c I drug the contents back under the original iPhoto library folder and then deleted the newly name folder.
The individual pics seem to be in the modified & originals folder but I do not know how to get them back into iPhoto. Importing one by one doesnt seem like the correct option.
I attempted to rebuild the iPhoto library but that resulted in nothing happening when I choose that option.
I know there is a solution but I dont know the smartest next step. I have read related discussions that almost provide a solution.
Currently, I need to figure out a way to:
1) get what seems to still exist in the modified & original folders back into iPhoto even if it means loosing albums, keywords. I am hoping this route doesnt wipe out dates that the images were taken. If there is a way to get them back into iPhoto this route, I need instructions.
or,
2) I have a back up of the entire HD on an external HD. Would it be best to somehow use that to replace what I have on the computer HD? I do not know how to do this so for sure need guidance.
Help! I need to get this fixed today (i.e. father is getting an iPad for retirement at a big reception and I need the computer in working order to make it all happen so he has pics on the iPad to display at the event). I think I may have to page TD or Old Toad....
Thanks friends!!

Best Process for making DVD slideshows w/iDVD

Hasn't someone made a Sticky about this yet??
I just perused the forum for this answer and it seems the user "Shippley" has provided the most help in this area. I'm hoping they can help in this case. For making a dvd slideshow using ONLY iMovie, iPhoto and or iDVD what process has been determined to provide the best visual quality on playback in a DVD player?
I've read that for best results in putting a slideshow onto a DVD is to make the slideshow in iPhoto or iMovie first, and then send it on to iDVD.
But I need more information, and in one location-
Should the iPhoto/iMovie slideshow be WITHOUT any transitions for best quality?
In iPhoto, should we organize our slideshow in an Event then Share > Send to iDVD for best results, or is there a better way?
Does iMovie HD (6.0.4) or iMovie '08 (7.1.4) make a difference in quality? Otherwise I want the easiest.
When the iMovie slideshow is being sent to iDVD, should we use Share>Export Movie for the best quality when sending to iDVD? Or is there another/better way?
My photo's are scanned from slides and are small file sizes, if they were large (like from a digital camera) do I have to resize them for optimum DVD viewing?
What about the settings for widescreen or standard, either one better?
iDVD encoding, Best/High/Professional, which one for best clarity?
Like most other infrequent DVD makers, I do not want a fancy slideshow, I don't care if it has transitions if it means I can have better clarity in the DVD player. I have old slides that I simply want to burn to a DVD.
Thanks for your help!
Sandy

Here is a quote from a post of F Shippley on March 8, 2010 that I am referring to. Bengt, you also responded to this post. The post is titled "poor picture quality with DVD slideshow".
Thus my confusion as to the best practice. I may look into Fotomagico, but like others, I don't want to have to pay for another application that may only be used once or twice a year! Thank you for your responses.
F Shippley writes, "As I told you in your other message yhread:
The easiest way to improve the quality of slideshows for use with iDVD is to create them as movies in iPhoto or iMovie! Creating slideshows in iDVD has MANY drawbacks (as you have probably found). It's 'quick and dirty' easy for a few slides, but that's about all I use it for.
BTW, for PAL DVDs use 768x576 pixel images for standard video and use 1024x576 pixel images for widescreen video. That's all the resolution a DVD supports. "

Slideshows just won't work (iPhoto 9.1.2)

Hi all,
I've just realized that I cannot do slideshows in iPhoto at all. I've been using this feature in the past but it was on an old version of iPhoto on my previous mac, and I think it's the first time I try on this one (MBP 13'', osx 10.6.7, iPhoto 9.1.2).
For example, in the "Events" view, when I click on the "Slideshow" icon in the bottom bar, the screen goes black just for an instant but then instead of actually playing anything, it goes back to the "Events" view.
Another symptom that must be related is that when I click "File -> New -> Slideshow", the slideshow-album does not get created correctly. What I get is an empty view with an empty row at the top (where the thumbnails should be) and a large black rectangle below. And again, if I click "play" the screen goes black only for an instant, just as if my slideshow was supposed to be zero seconds long.
Well, I am aware that this description of my problem is quite dodgy, but I don't know where to look for clues and I feel a bit lost (not that I really really need slideshows, but still this bug is kind of annoying).
Any insight would be welcome,
-Gyom

Mine is with the same build number (I suppose that 9.1.2 == build 605, and that build 605 == 9.1.2).
But I realize maybe one thing I did wrong was with the receipts thing. There were no pkg files per se (i.e. files with names ending in .pkg) but I had plenty of other files :
% cd /var/db/receipts

Problems attaching pics from IPhoto 8.0 to I Mail

I can't seem to find a way to attach my pics from IPhoto in different sizes. No matter how I set them up (large, small, etc) they still come out as 165Kb size. Any suggestions?

Tex
Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
There are two (2) places to set the size and either of them can make the photos small - in iPhoto when you select a photo(s) and click mail you get an option to sent the photo Actual, large, medium or small - and then in the Apple mail compose window at the lower right hand corner there is a menu that again lets you select actual, large, medium or small - be sure that both of these are set to the size you want
