Great 3rd Plug Ins for Photo Slide show? (Sample attached)

Looking for something like this (slide show), and would like advice.
Thing is, some say you have to update the whole thing every time you add a photo, not sure why that is, interested in seeing what's out there. Appreciate any and all advice. Also looking into Rapid Weaver, seems okay, Themes are a little dull and the plug ins don't really explain the situation well, therefore, for now, I will stick to iWeb. I too am interesting in building a music site and this is why I am using this example.
Thank you.

If you create a web gallery with iPhoto, embed it into your web page you can then update the gallery and slideshow from iPhoto very easily without having to use iWeb again. Embedding a MMe gallery in an iWeb page is shown in this demo page: MobileMe Galleries and Quicktime Movies.
If you create an photo page in iWeb you can add new photos to it via the Media Browser and republish. Depending on where you're hosting the site you don't have to upload everyting each time. With MobileMe you can just use the Publish Site Changes and you'll only have to upload those pages that have been changed.
If you use a 3rd party hosting service you can publish to a folder, use Web Site Maestro to optimize and upload only those files that have been changed.
I don't know of any method that would allow you to just add more image files to a folder on the server as a way to add to the online photo presentation and slideshow.
If you're interested in a music site be sure to visit Roddy's iWeb for Musicians

What is best app for photo slide show with music

Photoshop, Elements, or LR - for photo slide show with music

Are those the only choices you want to consider? Which do you already use? Here's my take on the slideshow capability in each:
Photoshop CS6 and CC: You can create slieshows in a video format but you will have to crawl through hoops and climb barrels to get what you want. The timeline feature of Photoshop is not exactly intuitive.
Elements: Can't comment since I have never used the software.
Lightroom: much easier than Photoshop to create a slideshow but also extremely feature limited. Slideshows can run directly from the software or rendered as a video. Only one music track is allowed with limtied transitions effects. Want the fabled 'Ken Burns' effect? Forget it!
Neither of these choices specifically target slideshow creation and I would certainly not pick any for this purpose (unless you already use them). Best to seek software dedicated for slideshows. Several are free.

Lightroom plug ins for photo frames

I do all my digital processing in Lightroom and would like to experiment with printing photos with retro analog-style photo frames, i.e. slightly ragged black film edges. However, all plug ins I have found seem to require the layering capabilities in Photoshop. Do I have to get Photoshop or does anyone have a suggestion that works in Lightroom?

Have you tried OnOne's PhotoFrame plug-in? You can operate that out of LR. Although, that might be what you mean by layering in PS. Not sure how/if the plug-in works w/o PS. What I've found simpler is to take one of the photoframes I like in PS and fit it to the size I want and save it as a png file. Even if you don't have PS, if you can create a png elsewhere with the necessary transparency, that would work. LR will let you use png files as overlays in the identity plate part of the Print module. LR might protest that the file is too big, but seems to take them anyway. I've only needed up to a 12x14 size, but it works great and is quicker than a plug-in.

Photoshop plug-ins for photo CD files

How can I dowload the Photoshop CS6 plub-in for photo CD files? There was nont in the photoshop flug-ins folder.

Hi Hayes,
That plugin was discontinued for photoshop several versions back, but depending on your operating system, you might find some useful info in the following threads:

If you still have an older version of photoshop that has that plugin, then using that version of photoshop would probably be the way to go.

Project settings for photo slide show for Elements 9

Hello everyone. Making a wedding slideshow of photos with pixels set to 1000 x 750 with elements 9. Which project setting should I choose? there is so many from the new video camera format, to HD Cameras, flip etc.. Widescreen, Standard, too many to choose but nothing for straight pictures.
output will be computer to LCD screen, also will burn copies for viewing on LCD widescreen TVs via DVD. Any direction would be appreciated and which setting to choose. I am at a loss.
Thanks in advance

I would choose the NTSC (or PAL, if you live in PAL-land) DV Widescreen, based on that target DVD-Video.
With Still Images only, one can then let the output determine the Project.
One additional option, but the 1000 x 750 preculdes that, would be to do an HD Project, as per output to BD. Then, Export/Share that Project as a DV-AVI and Import that into a DV Widescreen Project for the DVD-Video. One would still have the BD, HD Project, should they ever wish to produce a BD.
Now, are the Still Images originally from larger files, say 4000 x 3000? If they are, I would probably go with that HD Project, re-Scale the Stills to 1920 x 1080, or very similar, and work with those. As there ARE more pixels, one consideration would be whether there are too many of the Stills for the particular computer to handle.
I always try to work with the highest def material, that I can, and then down-rez upon Export (with but a few exceptions).
To summarize, either the HD Project (with re-Scaled Stills), and then Exported/Imported into a DV Project for the DVD-Video, or just starting the DV Widescreen, and going straight to DVD-Video would be fine.
Good luck,
Hunt

Themes/templates for photo slide show in iMovie6

Hi:
Wondering if anyone know how to use other themes created in the past (iMovie5). I am using iMovie6 and it comes with 5 themes.
Thanks

No, you can't use the iDVD templates in iPhoto, but you can make a slideshow with iDVD or iMovie!
Perhaps that will help?

Transitions set for entire slide show?

In '09, can one set transition times for an entire show or are they still set individually as in '08. Can't decide whether to use iMovie or Keynote for photo slide shows and this is a key factor due to the number of slides.
thanks

As in '08, in the Slide Navigator simply select all the slide thumbnails and apply a transition and set the timing -- all slides will be affected. (You can select all the slides by a) clicking on the top slide, then shift-clicking on the bottom slide, or b) click-and-drag from the bottom of the left sidebar below the last thumbnail up to the top, or c) click in the sidebar and then in the Edit menu choose "Select All".)

Microsoft HD Photo Plug-ins for Photoshop are Released

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hd_Photo
"HD Photo has been announced by Microsoft and the Joint Photographic Experts Group to be under consideration for a JPEG standard, tentatively titled JPEG XR.
"The HD Photo bitstream specification claims that "HD Photo offers image quality comparable to JPEG-2000 with computational and memory performance more closely comparable to JPEG", that it "delivers a lossy compressed image of better perceptive quality than JPEG at less than half the file size", and that "lossless compressed images are typically 2.5 times smaller than the original uncompressed data".
http://blogs.msdn.com/billcrow/archive/2007/12/06/hd-photo-plug-ins-for-photoshop-are-rele ased.aspx
"HD Photo plug-ins for Adobe® Photoshop® CS2 and CS3 have been officially released for both Windows and OSX. They're available now from the Microsoft Download Center. [Links on this webpage]
"The Windows version is supported on Windows XP and Windows Vista, and works with Photoshop CS2 and CS3. While not officially supported, it will also work with limited features with older versions of Photoshop and with Photoshop Elements. The included README file has details.
For PSE6, I installed it to
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 6.0\Plug-Ins\HD Photo Plugin for Adobe Photoshop\
It works properly, as far as I can tell, for both Opening and Saving.
File size and processing speed seem consistent with the claims for the format.

Regular JPEG is capable of high definition (size) images.
The "HD" in "HD Photo" is a reference to the fact that the bit depth can
greatly exceed the 8-bit limitation of regular JPEG. That's primarily
of value in high-quality photo editing, and for archiving originals.

DVD player upconversion is no better than the upconversion built-in to
any decent HD TV; i.e., it's mostly just marketing hype.

In iOS 4, you could make separate photo slide shows with separate songs.
In iOS 5, this has changed. Now only 1 song is allowed at a time. It will not save separate song selections for each slide show.
Is there any way to fix this? This is something I use every day.
I am on an iPad 2, 32gb, wifi...
Thank you

My Photos app works the same on iOS 5 as it did on iOS 4 i.e. I can have a different track for each album. When I select a track for a photo album I then start the slideshow so that it shows the first couple of photos with the track playing - I'm not sure it's necessary to start the slideshow but I always do and it remembers that track for that album.

I need to do non-constrained crops for Ken Burns effect in photo slide show

I am making photo slide shows in imovie '09. I understand the Ken Burns effect and how to set a start and an end point. I want to use the effect on vertical or portrait mode photos. i would like to have the entire photo displayed in portrait mode and have it zoom in a bit. The problem is The start and end points seem to only be horizontal or landscape mode. I can't ever get the entire image selected. How can I do this?
Thanks,
Tim

You need to add the letterbox (black space) in another application. iMovie's Ken Burns effect will not do it for you. You can do it in Photoshop if you like.
However, there is a way to do it in Automator, and you can do hundreds of vertical photos very quickly. That is the way I do it.
Here is more detail:
There is also a quick way to pad your images without using Photoshop. This method will pad hundreds of images in just a few seconds.
You do it with a tool that comes with OS/X called Automator. It should be in your Applications/Utilities folder.
Automator is basically a workflow tool. It allows you to string together commands and actions into a workflow and then execute the entire sequence at once. If you have Snow Leopard, you can even add these workflows to your contextual menus that come up when you right-click.
There are many workflows that would work to pad your images. Here is an example:
In Automator, start a photo workflow and drag the following actions into the workflow from the Action palettes on the left.
You should have something like:
1)Ask for Photos (You must select one or more photos and hit Select - you can make this easier by putting them in an album beforehand)
2) Copy Finder Items (give it a folder to copy to- so you can find them easily)
3) Pad Images. (put a check mark in "scale image before padding" Pick the pixel dimensions of your project...like 640x480 or 960x540. or 1920x1080
Hit Run and a dialog box will come up asking you to select photos. When you are finished, press SELECT and the Automator script will keep running.
Then at the end you should have padded images in the folder you created in step 2.

I installed Nik:s suite of plug-ins for LR5 but for some reason not all of them were installed. In the end I uninstalled all of the Nik programs from my Mac but before I reinstalled them I opened LR5 again to check. Under "photo" and "edit in" the plug-ins were still presented but no programs opened, of course. after reinstalling the plug-ins one of the programs appeared twice in the list but not the others. I´m going to reinstall them again and I´m wondering if there is anyway of erasing the links to the plug-ins under "photo" and "edit in" ???

Wow that was really quick, thank you so much. Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it. I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names. isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

Fix for AppleTV photo slide show music stopping after abut 20 minutes?

Fix for AppleTV photo slide show music stopping after abut 20 minutes?

Just ran another series of tests ... I am now convinced that AppleTV's slideshow/screensaver is broken.
Too often it will 'get stuck' on one photo for minutes then show no photo and finally move on; in fact it is doing it right now.
I don't ever remember seeing this occur before the last upgrade.

Screen Saver Photo Slide Show...

...Hello... This used to work but for some reason it doesn't any more. Whenever I go to the screen saver preferences and choose a folder full of pictures to use as a photo slide show screen saver, it says 'folder contains no pictures'. However, is DOES contain pictures but won't recognize them. All the other screen saver features work besides this one. I tried to download and install some screensaver a while back and it hasn't worked since then... Any ideas? Thanks =)

Photo Slide Shows - inconsistent quality

Last summer I burned a very complicated idvd photo slide show using digital photos in RAW format from my Nikon D70 and the slides looked really great. I just tried to do it again - same camera, same lens, still in RAW and the photos - while looking good during construction and test runs, come out very fuzzy on the burned dvd. I'm really puzzled. Can anyone explain what I might have done differently to yield such different results? [and how I get back to the good results?)

Tom,
I hope you have read Preparing images for DVD slideshows at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/17.html
The best you can do is get about a 640x480 equivalent image on a DVD - that's about 0.3 megapixels - so there is NO way you can match the image quality of your high resolution digital images.
Despite their names, you will get slightly better image quality using the 'Best Performance' mode than you will with the 'Best Quality' mode. Perhaps you used BP before and BQ now.
I have used FotoMagico for creating slideshows and feel I got better image quality than iMovie or iDVD and some people like Photo to Movie.

Modifying Photo Slide Show Template

Hello All,

consideration.

Hi Sisilla,
I was just thinking that if you need to get a nice slideshow
with effects going on your website quickly you could use another
program that specializes in just that. There are lots of
these Flash slideshow programs that you can download. Here is one..
http://www.amarasoftware.com/flash-slide-show.htm
(I never tried it myself) If you put "Flash slideshow maker"
in a google search you will see there are lots of em.
Also, other Flash creation programs like SwishMax have
built-in transition effects that you can use. It is much easier
than trying
to do the same thing in Adobe Flash. You could get your
slideshow going quicker since it takes longer to learn Adobe Flash.
luck,
tralfaz
