How to get Best Resolution from iPhoto to iDVD

I have some excellent photographs in a slide show that I want to burn to iDVD. I have tried sending to iDVD but am not happy with the resolution. I have read on this forum that the resolution will always be less when transferred to iDVD.
So my question is in two parts
1. If using iDVD what steps can I take to ensure the best resolution? I can't crop to screen size at it ruins the composition.
2. If not iDVD then what will give me resolution as good as or nearly as good as the original slideshow?
Cheers

Hi Olie,
It's late so I'm to lazy to google it but is Australia PAL or NTSC? In North America we are NTSC. This means that a DVD will have a resolution of 720x480. It won't matter how high of resolution your files are or what program you use to create the DVD: a standard definition DVD will have 720x480 pixels. Next, the whole DV/DVD specification was designed for motion video, not for still images. So, in general, it is a good idea to apply at least a slight motion keyframe (Ken Burns effect). The following tutorial actually uses PS and After Effects but it gives you an idea:

Of course there are some high-defination DVD options on the market now... in the $1,000 range for a burner!

  • Can anyone tell me how to get my pics from iPhoto to Adobe Photoshop Elements?

    Can anyone tell me how to get my pics in iPhoto into Adobe Photoshop Elements?

    Are you talking about iPhoto for iOS or iPhoto on your Mac?
    If iPhoto for iOS export the photo to iTunes. Then sync with your Mac and drag the photos out of the file sharing section of iTunes on your Mac. Then open them in Adobe Photoshop Elements.
    If iPhoto on your Mac then export the photos. I believe that's Menu > File > Export.
    Select export at full resolution and choose a location for the files. Once they have been exported you can open them in Adobe Photoshop Elements.

  • How 2 get edited photo from iphoto app back into iPhoto?

    I have the new iPhoto app.
    I can't seem to get my edit photos back into iPhoto on my imac.
    I thought save to iTunes would do it but it doesn't seem to do anything.
    Sure would like to just go back to my mac and find the photo updated.
    I have the photo stream turned off and just sync with a cable.
    Problem 2
    The photos and albums seem to be in random order.  This makes it almost impossible to find the photo I want to edit.
    Can anybody please help?

    <If you are using the cable: Connect your iPad > open iPhoto > select your iPad on the left under devices > Import <button top right of iPhoto (blue button).
    < 
    <Do not import through iTunes.
    Sorry - that was no help.
    If I edit a photo in e iPhoto app then connect and bring up iPhoto on my mac the iPad device has no photos to import.
    I have imported hundreds of photos from iPhones and iPads - I know how to import.
    Even if there was a photo laying there to import - that is not what I want because...
    Imagine if I had 100 photos then edited all 100 photos on my iPad.
    Then if I imported them I would now have 200 photos in iPhoto on my mac.
    I want the edited photo to update the original just as tho I edited it in iPhoto on my mac.
    So I could "Revert to Original" if I needed to but probably never would.
    So the question is when you share to iTunes where does it go?
    Also the new album it creates "Edited" - What's the story on that?

  • HT1535 how do i transfer photos from iphoto on my imac to my new ipad

    I have read and reread the ipad manual and under importing photos and videos -  this is all it says,
    "To transfer the photos to your computer, connect iPad to your computer and import the images with a photo application such as iPhoto or Adobe Elements."
    There are no explicite instructions on how to get the photos from iPhoto onto my iPad.  There is nothing in iPhoto either.

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    You can't.  iCloud is not for general file backup from a Mac. It's for backup up and syncing data between mobile devices and and Macs and  The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: Backup and restore overview.
    iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your (mobile) device using iOS 5 or later. Once you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .....
    What is backed up
    You get unlimited free storage for:
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
    Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails
    But not from a Mac.  If you want to backup your photos and other important files I suggest you get an external hard drive and use  it with Time Machine.

    How can I get the photos from iPhoto copied to a disk in the order I want??

    To ensure a custom ordering, sort the files in an album and rename the files with a sequentially numbered filename.
    File > Export > Version/Originals
    Then use "Filename > Sequential"
    or "Filename > Album name with index"

  • How to get the data from mysql database which is being accessed by a PHP application and process the data locally in adobe air application and finally commit the changes back in to mysql database through the PHP application.

    How to get the data from mysql database which is being accessed by a PHP application and process the data locally in adobe air application and finally commit the changes back in to mysql database through the PHP application.

    If the data is on a remote server (for example, PHP running on a web server, talking to a MySQL server) then you do this in an AIR application the same way you would do it with any Flex application (or ajax application, if you're building your AIR app in HTML/JS).
    That's a broad answer, but in fact there are lots of ways to communicate between Flex and PHP. The most common and best in most cases is to use AMFPHP (http://amfphp.org/) or the new ZEND AMF support in the Zend Framework.
    This page is a good starting point for learning about Flex and PHP communication:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/flex_php.html
    Also, in Flash Builder 4 they've added a lot of remote-data-connection functionality, including a lot that's designed for PHP. Take a look at the Flash Builder 4 public beta for more on that: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashbuilder4/

    Do you have a SD slot? If not you get a USB to SD memory card adpater at the computer/office/online store and use that.
    It appears as a drive on your machine and you can use Export from iPhoto or drag and drop methods too.
    Make sure you backup

  • How do i save photos from iPhoto to jpeg

    when i import photos from my camera they save in the iphoto section but how do I then save those as jpeg files so that i can upload them to emails or to kodal gallery etc.

    Another easy method if you're only dealing with a small number of photos, just drag the best shots from  iPhoto to the desktop.  Then they're easy to find for uploads.  Delete off the desktop when your done.  (they're still in iPhoto).

    It is better to export (file menu ==> export) since when you export you control exactly what you get - see the user tip on exporting for details
