How do you drag to edit duration of photos in iMovie '11?

I'm putting together a slideshow, with still photos, on iMovie '11, but it won't let me drag the edges of the photos to edit the duration of each one. I used to be able to do this, but for some reason, can't anymore. How do I get this feature to work?

Double-click the photo to open the Inspector and change the duration by entering a new time.
Note that dragging the edge of a photo will work only when shortening the duration, that is, dragging inwards. Click on the photo before dragging so that the yellow border appears, then drag either of the handles. Right-click within the adjusted yellow frame and select "Trim to Selection" from the pop-up menu.

Edit duration of photos in imovie 10.0.6

I need to edit the duration of a bunch of photos in iMovie 10.0.6. The are JPG's with a resolution of 3088 x 2056 if you are wondering. I can't find anywhere to change the time it displays... it's looked at 10 seconds. All of the thinks people have suggested on the forum are grayed out for me and I can't click/use them (Adjust, Movie Properties, Right-Click, etc). Please Help!!!

Hello ThatSmoggyGuy,
Have you tired click and dragging at the end of a photo to drag out the duration of the photo? If you have not, give that a shot and to see if that works. Take a look at the article below for more details if you have not done so already. If you have let me know and I can offer another suggestion.

How do you drag and drop samples in the ex24 on pro x now that the edit button next to the option tab is no longer there?

Well, it's aggravating seeing foolish limitations to the program. Having some experience in education, offering a professional program in a limited version is condescending to the user and has never been proven to help students move forward. Plus, some of the choices made to keep Logic simple are confounding... "removing the edit button on the EXS24"? That's silly!

How Do You Drag A Document You Have On A Mac Onto An External HardDrive??

Ive just recently bought a Macbook Pro and was wondering how can you drag a document onto an external hard drive. Is it the same as Windows?? Because everytime I try that, it wont let me :s.
If anyone could help it would be awesome because I need to know how to do this so I can put my cousework I have done on my MacBookPro, onto my external hard drive.
Thanks
Carol-Anne

Your external drive is likely formatted NTFS.
Take the drive to the PC and remove all the data on it and right click on it and format it exFAT or FAT on the PC, then place the files back on.
(Formatting a drive will remove all data on it.)
Take it to the Mac and it can use it just fine.
No need to buy any software, it will have to be constantly updated and tends to cause problems and glitches.

As said above, you can click down, ons use the other finger to drag the object. I had turned on the setting to use three-finger drag, so you can drag objects with three fingers. To change gesture settings, go to the system preferences>trackpad. Here you can also see all of the gestures of Mac OS X.

When I drag ANY JPEG into a new folder of ANY kind, I get an alias, not an original. And, when I drag aliases onto a blank disk to burn it, I get burned aliases, NO originals. That's what I'm asking. How do you drag a JPEG and NOT get an alias?

My guess the problem you are running into is the drive is formatted for a PC as NTFS. OS X can read files from NTFS however it cannot write to it. Check the formatting on the drive, if it's NTFS then it should be reformatted to Mac OS Extended (Journaled), you can use Disk Utility to do this.
If you still have a PC and want to share the EHD with the PC and Mac please read MacWorld's Share an external drive between a Mac and a PC article.

CS4 - how do you drag adj. layers to other images?

I used to drag adjustment layers between opened image files in CS1. Recently I upgraded to CS4.
Using CS4, even if you open several images at one time, only one of those images is visible on screen at a time.
With only one image visible, how do you drag adjustment layers to other images that are "opened" but not visible on screen?

The application frame isn't the ultimate cause of or solution to this problem. It's the tabbed documents that make the difference, because if you have the tabbed document preference turned on, they'll open as tabs even if the application frame is turned off.
There are a couple of more direct solutions.
If you like tabbed documents, you can still drag one layer to another but you have to use the Move tool. Select the adjustment layer, grab the Move tool, and drag from the document to the tab of the destination window. The destination tab will light up, letting you know you can now drop the layer in the other document.
Or, if you don't like the tabbed documents and want to see them all, split the documents apart. You can drag the tabs out of each other so that the windows float. Or, if you have the application frame on, it's a lot faster to just click the Arrange Documents button in the Application Bar and choose one of the n-up display options to get a nice tiled display. The tiled display is a lot easier to manage than several floating documents.
In any case, you can do all this while leaving the Application Frame on.

HOW DO YOU MAKE A VIGNETTE AROUND A PHOTO IN PSE 7?

HOW DO YOU MAKE A VIGNETTE AROUND A PHOTO IN PSE 7? ALSO, HOW DO YOU MAKE THE PHOTO KIND OF HAZY LOOKING? JUST A SLIGHT BIT FOR EFFECT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!

1966desertrat,
There are various ways to do this; here is one:
Open picture file
Duplicate background layer
Open new blank layer, and fill with white (Edit>fill>white)
Drag this layer between the background layer and the background copy layer
On the top layer, make a selection of the subject by dragging with the Elliptical marquee tool, position it to embrace the subject - can use arrow keys on keyboard to fine-tune
Go to Select>inverse
Go to Select>feather>try 25px - experiment for degree of feather
Hit delete on keyboard
Go to Select>inverse
Go to Select>deselect
To blur, go to Filter>blur>gaussian blur and adjust slider to suit

How do you change the resolution of a Photo?

In iPhoto, how to you reduce the resolution of a photo in order to reduce the file size? This makes it easier to email because of the smaller file size?

Let's say I have a photo with a resolution of of 3264 x 2448 pixels.
Tat's not a measurement of resolution, that's the dimensions (length x breadth) of the photo, expressed in pixels.
Resolution is a vague term most used to describe the density of pixels - i.e the pixels per inch.
1) I want to edit it and reduce the resolution to 1024 x 768 pixels.
No, you want to reduce the dimensions of the image to 1024 x 768
2) Do this within iPhoto without using the export feature thereby keeping the edited photo in iPhoto?
You can't. It can only be done on export. Why? When you edit a photo iPhoto preserves the original and makes a copy of the file containing the edit. As most people reduce the dimensions, file size or resolution for a specific purpose (to upload it for instance), it's thought best to export it, upload it nd then trash it.
Of course, you can simply import the export back in, if you have a burning need of it in iPhoto.

How do you auto tone a group of photos. I selected them all and tried to auto tone but it keeps doing only one

How do you auto tone a group of photos. I tried command a to select all and then auto tone but it only did one Photo. I troes several times and yes all photos were selected

In Develop you can highlight a group of thumbnails in the filmstrip, then right-click and choose Develop Settings -> Auto Tone
In Library you can highlight a group of thumbnails in the Grid and click the Auto Tone button in the Quick Develop area.
What you can’t do is click the Auto button in Develop and have it do more than one photo—this is by design, except, maybe if you have Auto Sync enabled.
