Extracting photos from a slide show

Sorry if the Subject is misleading. Here is my situation. I have a large iphoto library that has MANY duplicate pictures AND my wife painstakingly and loving created a very large slideshow with transitions, music etc. I would like to remove the duplicate pictures BUT I do NOT want to damage, change, rearrange any of the work that she has done. SO... My thought is to extract or copy or whatever the photos in the Slideshow to a temporary folder. do my cleanup work on the duplicates and then restore JUST the slideshow photos (I will live with a few dupes) The main issue is there does not appear to be a way to copy the photos OUT of the slideshow once they have been put in. The slideshow itself is not built on an album and she does add photos to the slideshow by dragging the photo from the even directly onto the slideshow marker on the left side of the iphoto window. All that being said all I want to do is get rid of the majority of my dupes and still preserve the work my wife has done. I'm not married to any particular way of doing this. Any/all help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Select all the files in the Slideshow and give them a rating - say 5 stars.
Now a Smart Album
File -> New Smart Album
Rating -> is -> 5 Stars
Will gather them outside the slideshow.
In that Smart Album Flag all the Pics.
Now switch back to Photos View and you will see all the photos from the Slideshow are Flagged. Don't delete them.
Regards

Remove a photo from a slide show

Very new to Macs. Playing with slide show and added a pic I don't want. How do I delete it from the slide show?

Select the picture's thumbnail and press the delete key.

Can different music be used with different set of photos in a slide show?

Can different music be used with different set of photos in a slide show?

Yes. The basic idea is that you make a playlist of songs and choose that to use with the slideshow, rather than any particular song. In iPhoto 11 you can do this in iPhoto. In earlier versions you do this in iTunes.
There is a limitation. Each song will play the full way through, you can't croassfade from one to another and so on.
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.

Making new photo albums and slide shows

Is there a way to make new photo albums or slides shows on the iPad? I wish to organize photos and create slide shows while I am on the road, away from my sync computer.

The only way you could do this would be to first delete all photos in your Saved Photos album and then add the ones you want to use in your slide show one at a time (each photo you add is placed after the one previously added). Currently, by using the iPad alone with no third party apps, the only way to add photos to the Saved Photos album is either from Safari (touch and hold an image until the "Save image" dialogue comes up) or from email. On the iPhone originally, this was where photos you took with the camera went. Without the camera, it's left a bit stranded on the iPad.
The other "Photo Library" album is changeable only through an iTunes sync. If you put all the photos you want to use in your slideshows there, you could email them to yourself and then put them in the Saved Photos album one at a time. But that's awfully tedious and you can only have one Saved Photos album available at a time, so you'd have to do that with every slideshow you wanted. Not much use, I admit.
Until Apple improves the photo app on the iPad, it's not at all a versatile or very useful thing.

TS3274 Can't extract photos from iPad 2

My iPhone shows up in My Computer when I connect it to my Acer laptop. I then cut my pictures from the iPhone files and save them on my laptop's hard drive. My iPad doesn't register under My Computer. Why not and how do I extract photos from my iPad?? iPad and iTunes are up to date.

iPad not regconize by computer.
1. Quit iTunes and reboot your PC and iPad and try again.
2. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo

Vertical photos distorted in slide show

I have 'scale photos to screen' turned off during slide show. Still, some vertical photos in my slide show, but not all, appear distorted as if they were horizontal; i.e. the horizontal dimension is stretched. When I preview the same photo, it 'reloads' and then, when I continue the slide show with that photo, it appears with the correct vertical/horizontal ratio and looks right. The photos had been rotated to be upright after import. - Anyone have any idea what's going on? I can't for the life of me figure out what causes this. I have to go through all my vertical photos and preview them, one by one, before running the slide show to avoid that some vertical slides appear distorted.

No, video for viewing on TV is interlaced... it is shot with two fields, each shot at slightly different times, the two interlaced fields make up a frame. It is the time difference between when each frame was shot that gives the "jaggy" lines. A TV knows how to handle these fields whereas a computer monitor does not.

I cannot import a Quicktime file (.mov) which I generated from a slide show out of iPhoto8 in iMovie8 (filename is grey); what did I wrong?

iMovie 08 will only import files that contain codecs that it can edit. It will generally import audio and video codecs that iPhoto generates. However, if your iPhoto slideshow contains a manual advance track, iMovie cannot edit this and therefore will not import. In iPhoto, check to see if you can do a timed advance rather than a manual advance. Then it should import.

You cannot.
Why are you opposed to paying for some software to help do what you want?
You can restore the backup to your iPhone then sync the photos to your computer.

How to extract photos from iphone to Computer

I have an important photos in my iphone backup ,I would like to extract photos from iphone backup to Windows,but I failed,When I was ready to plug in cable extract,I can't do that,Whether you have any advice?

Photos are not extracted from backups.
Pictures taken with the device are copied from the device to the computer.

Hello, I am have problems with coruption of the photos in a slide show after burning the DVD in iDVD. This coruption does not always appear when you preview the project. I have slowed down the burn rate to 1X and kept the quality to professional.

I am having a great deal of problems with Data coruption in slide shows after I have burned a DVD in iDVD. I have changed burn rate from best to 1X with no difference in the coruption. I have the quality set to professional with no improvement. The size of the project is near 3.95, so it should fit on a single layer burn. Should I use either iMovie to create the slide show or "Photo to Movie"? Also, can anyone comment on how I preserve the highest quality picture resolution with a slide show? If I do use iMovie or Photo to Movie, the file size should exceed the 4.2 size so, will I have to buy new DVD's which are capable to handle the double layer burn and upto 8 GB? What DVD's are recommended? Any preferred brand? Are there problems with burning with double layer? I read on this blog of numerous problems.

DVDs are LOW resolution by today's standards - only about 0.3 megapixels - so there is no way they your images on a TV set will look "High Definition". See Preparing images for iDVD slideshows at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/6675.html for recommendations on image sizes to use. Using larger images won't give you better quality, andf in some cases, will lower you image quality because the Quicktime resizing that occurs isn't the best.

Extracting photos from backup of iPhoto Library without iPhoto

I recently had to do a clean install of Mac OS X 10.7.5 because I had some funky file structures in my hard drive that were rendering my 8 year old Macbook unusable. I have a full Time Machine backup on an external hard drive and had to drag and drop what I wanted from the backup over to the cleaned hard drive as opposed to doing an automated restore (because I didn't want to restore the funky file structures that had screwed up my mac in the first place). So now I have everything I want back on the cleaned Mac except iPhoto won't open after being copied over from the backup. Fine - I didn't really care for iPhoto anyway so I don't want to buy it. Now I am trying to extract the photos from my backed up iPhoto library to get them on the Mac in plain old folders. I right click the library, select show package contents, select "originals" and then try to copy that folder to my cleaned hard drive - I get an error that I do not have sufficient permissions to do that. Same thing with any folder level.
I have tried iPhoto Library Manager - but that needs a working iPhoto application...
How can I get these photos out of this back up library without having to copy each one individually???? It's driving me nuts. grr.

Here's how to restore an iPhoto Library from Time Machine:

In PE11 the quality of the photos in the slide show are inferior to those in the catalogue. Why?

I have been on the phone for a few hours to Adobe but they are stil investigating. When I produce a slide show using Elements 11 the pictures are no way near as clear as they appear in the folders. I just want to show my pictures without them looking like crap. They were taken using the highest quality photo on the camera, which is a new Nikon and look great when viewing through Elements Organiser. They also look amazing in the original source, eg My Pictures files. When making slide show it asks the quality and I select high.
Does anyone else have a problem Or better still a solution????
Driving me nuts so any help appreciated.

DVD Standards are 720 x 480 NTSC, 720 x 576 PAL. So it doesn't matter how good the resolution is in your original images when you burn to DVD those resolutions will be reduced to one of the above.
So I suggest you follow the instructions earlier for File> Process Multiple Files and reduce the size in PSE to 720 x 576 (as you wanted a PAL DVD) and then create your slide show for further editing in PRE.
The reason for this suggestion is that it is generally considered in the PRE Community forum that PRE has a cruder image resizing algorithm than PSE.
If you think you may want to do Pan & Zoom on some of your images resize them to say 1000 pixels wide (with constrain proportions set).

How to properly stitch together many nearly identical photos into a slide show.

I'm not too sure if Final Cut Pro has what I need to complete the following question, but I'd like to ask the group any way. If not, then maybe you can steer me into the right direction.
I just started taking dozens of weekly photos of the same exact view from one location in our town. My final goal is to eventually put one shot from each of my weekly shoots into a time-lapse slide show/video. I have a dominant landmark in each of the photos, and that landmark is "almost" in the same identical location within each of my photos. However, it's not perfect enough. I'd like to edit each photo so that the landmarks within each photo are located as close to the same location within each photo. This will make for a much smoother slide show in the end.
I do have Final Cut Pro, Aperture, and iPhoto. I have iPhoto pretty much mastered, but have yet to put much time into FCP and Aperture. iPhoto offers no type of grid to use as far as cropping photos. Straightening yes...but for cropping...no.
Would anyone happen to know how I can create this slide show with the best results?
Again, each photo taken is being taken of the same landscape from the same location. However, I'd like to be able to stitch (possibly a hundred, or more) photos together to make as smooth a slide show as possible.
Thanks in advance, Gramps.

What version of iPhoto?
Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

Apple TV photo order in Slide Show

There are several posts relating to the order that photos are shown on Apple TV Slide Show. The problem is that when photos are moved via iTunes Home Sharing from iPhoto or another folder, the exact order is lost when they arrive at the Apple TV. Many of the previous posts suggest causes and fixes, yet NONE of them really solve the problem. So, I have started this new post to see if somewhere out there there is an answer. When photos are arranged in a particular order (ideally by file name, which makes the most sense and is easiest to work with), either in iPhoto or in another folder, they should STAY in that order for presentation as a Slide Show on Apple TV. I have tried several ways to export the photos; none of them achieve the desired result - some photos always get out of order, even with as few as 10 photos. This really makes Apple TV unacceptable for Slide Shows. Who wants to watch a slide show that keeps jumping around by date or by place or whatever?
To date, I am using a second generation Apple TV, iPhoto 9 ver 8.1.2, iTunes 12.0.1.26, on a MacBook Pro OS 10.9.5.
Is there a solution that works consistently? If not, or unless I have missed something, why hasn't Apple addressed this?

I have the exact same issue and I have tried everything....
It really *****. It must be a config or similar issue, as there's not many postings on this....anyone with a cure? Let me know!
