How to play book as slideshow in Photos or export it?

Hello,
In iPhoto I made several books and printed. Additionally I could play these book into slide show and export them as m4v into my Apple TV. Now on the Photo I do not see option to create slideshow from book and/or export it?
Does anyone know if this feature was dropped from Photo. I have used this with several books and is something I really enjoy and could not find how to do it.
Appreciate all the help

First, this is one of those shortcomings with the current state of affairs. ID doesn't combine booked documents when exporting spreads.
So why do you want spreads? Is this for reader proofing (readers spreads which is what you'd get if you export a single doc as spreads)? If so, why not just fix the initial view in the PDF properties dialog? Export as single pages, then set the PDF to open as facing pages with cover page.
Or are you trying to impose into printer's spreads? That's not the same thing at all, and ID doesn't impose except through Print Booklet (but you can use that to print to PDF?

Iphoto. When I play an album "slideshow" some photos show up as a blank/black screen. Please help if you know what I am doing wrong.

Iphoto Question
When I playing a "slideshow" album, a few photos show up as a blank screen. Also, when I select a photo in an album to make it full screen - some photos won't "hold" - they go full screen for about a second, then the screen goes blank. Any ideas about what I am doing wrong? Thank you.

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: 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. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: 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.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/ Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help: As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

How come all descriptions in slideshow were lost after exporting to video?

Hi, I'm new to iPhoto 9. I'd made a slideshow & tried to export it in different ways, but not successful:
1) when I exported it as a video, all photo descriptions in the slideshow were lost, only the music was kept.
2) I'd also tried to export the slideshow diretly to either an external harddisk or iDisk. It kept saying that the disk space was not enough, even I'd removed many files to release some more space.
What can I do then? I'd like to share the slideshow with friends on PC or TV.
Thanks!
Fochan

In the slideshow mode in iPhoto click on the Setting button at the bottom and check the Show Captions checkbox and select Description in the menu. Did you do that?
Click to view full size
Then click on the Export button at the bottom of iPhoto's window and select the size of movie you want to create.
Click to view full size
That should get you the text in the slideshow to match what you see when you play it in iPhoto.
If you're not getting the text after following the above delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, empty the User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder, launch iPhoto and try again.,

How to preserve or embedded history in photo when exporting?

Does anyone know how to preserve a photo develop history when exporting to new folder so that editing can continue?

Thanks Jim and DJ - perhaps my process needs to change. I use a folder structure within each photo shoot. Capture (for all raw files) - Master (for working photos that are being edited / developed) - and finally an Output folder for photos being printed or posted to web etc. I export to each. I understand that you can always go back to the original raw capture or any point in the history but sometimes I want to compare different editions of develop settings for an image against each other while preserving both. When using a copy of an image the develop settings only start at time of copy and likewise when using an exported image the history starts from the export going forward
What I want to do is take photos from the various Master folders that have develop changes to them and move or copy them to another folder; as example a "2015 Art Show folder" for an upcoming photo exhibit etc. and then do additional develop changes specific for the Art Show - being able to see the previous develop settings would be useful during this edit phase and you could continue to work in the one folder without needing to hunt around to numerous folders all over Lightroom
I hope that explains what I am trying to do, I appreciate any ideas you may have
Thanks,
Paul

Cant edit photos after exporting

Hello all. Relatively new to Lightroom here so Im not sure if this is a dumb question or not.
I imported about 220 photos and worked on just about 20 to 25 of them. I then selected those 25 from my collection and exported them to a folder on my PC so I could then import them into Picasa.
After doing that, I returned to Lightroom to edit more from that collection but could no longer do so. I couldnt make any changes to the ones I previously worked on, but more importantly, I couldnt make any changes to any of the ones I hadnt even touched yet. When you export photos from a folder, does Lightroom automatically prohibit you from changing anything else? It seems the only way I can bypass this problem is just to delete the folder and re-import the photos from my camera again, creating a new folder.
Am I missing something? How can I go back and edit photos after exporting? Can it be done?
Thanks!

Hi Judy
On the bottom left of the left tool bar there are two buttons. Import and Export. I exported my photos using the Export button. When you do that, the screen that comes up prompts you to set up an export location on your C drive. So I exported the photos to a folder I set up.
I did not set up a catalogue or export any catalogue.
I seriously doubt that Picasa had any effect on the folders in Lightroom. The two software application are totally separate. You dont directly transfer photos from LR to Picasa. You need to export from LR first to a location on your PC then Import from that file on your PC into LR. So I dont see how Picasa could effect the photos that are in LR.

How to publish a photo book and slideshow in iWeb

Is it possible to (or how do you) publish a photo book and slideshow in iWeb created either in Aperture or iPhoto?

Here's an example of E Books. They're created in iWork and loaded into iWeb as a compressed PDF for download. The photo of the front cover is used for the link.

For a larger file, you can upload it to a folder on your server and create a link to it from your website.

Photos: how to play slideshow withOUT music?

Does anyone know how to do this in the new Photos when running it in Yosemite? I don't EVER want to hear music during a slideshow, so I'd love to turn it off in preferences. But I would settle for just knowing out to do it whenever I launch a slideshow.

In the slideshow click on the Music button at the right.
Move the cursor up to the small window at the top and the X button will appear when you're over it. Click on the X and the selected music track will be removed.

How can I create a slideshow that depicts only a version of a photo rather than the original? Since the original and new versions are saved together, the aperture slideshow often choices the original rather than the desired version to display.

There are two things we use the name "Slideshow" for in Aperture: a Slideshow Album, used for making Slideshows, and the Slideshow that is made. (Imho, it is a design mistake to not call the containers used to create Slideshows, Books, etc., "Albums".)
The Slideshow will use the Album Pick from any Stack. A good way to use Aperture is to promote the Image you want to regularly use (such as, for example, a Version with adjustments) to the top of the Stack. This makes it the Stack Pick, and will be the default Album Pick. If you haven't done that, you can still change the Album Pick for any Stack in a Slideshow Album. Expand your Stack(s), select the Image in each Stack that you want to be the Album Pick (and thus shown in the Slideshow), and "Stacks➞Set Album Pick". (Note the keyboard shortcut; there is also a Toolbar icon for this.) The change is immediate. The Slideshow will always show the Album Pick (or, if there is not one, the Stack Pick) for every Stack in your Slideshow Album.

How to play a slideshow (with movies) from Iphoto to Apple TV second gen

Hi,
Does anyone know how to play a slideshow with movies, that I normally play perfect with Iphoto (I even can add music)to let it stream to the Apple tv second gen?
So I have some movies on Imac from a holiday in Egypt and Iphoto alows me let it play as a movie.
How can I setup my Apple TV so that it is the same on my Apple TV? So with nice fade ins and outs?
Thanks

Ok Thank you, but I have one more question.
The Iphoto library is loaded with different movies and Photos. They are sorted by date.
Is there a possibily to make folders in Iphoto. So that I have on folder called for example "vacation Egypt" and put all the movies in this folder within Iphoto?
And then when I select this map it will make a slideshow from all this movies with music? Just like in Iphoto?

How do you run a slideshow with no music in new Photos app

In the new Photos app I can find no way of running a slideshow without music - either the standard themes or selecting my own music. How can I run a slideshow with no music at all? No setting, tab or option seems to be available to achieve this.

Hit top right arrow for slide show; click on Music, click button next to search; choose Theme songs, click on blue check mark to remove it, then hit PLAY SLIDESHOW.

I made an album in iPhoto and when it plays through the "slideshow", heads are cut off in some of the pictures. How do I fix this?

I made an album in iPhoto and when it plays through the "slideshow", heads are cut off in some of the pictures. How do I fix this?

When running a slideshow from an album it will not run properly if the photos are sorted manually. Sort them by any of the other options, title, date, rating, etc. and it will play correctly.
Send a report of the problem to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
If you must sort them manually create the slideshow in the slideshow mode in iPhoto, not from an album.

IIwas viewing a photo book in slideshow mode and it froze so all I can see is the cover page of the book. I let the battery die down but when I powred up...there it is again the first page. F3 allows me to see pictures of a few other screens

i photo, I was viewing a book in slideshow mode and it froze on the cover page. I let the computer battery die out but when I powered up again the screen is frozen on the 1st page of the book. if I F3 it allows me to see a few other screens but if I click on them I am back to the frozen cover page again.

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

How can I add music to my photo slideshow

How can I add music to my photo slideshow

You can only select one track via the slideshow button in the Photos app. If you have a long slideshow then you can start music playing in the iPod app and then switch into Photos and start a (no-music) slideshow.

How do you add pictures to your photo book after saving it? Can you re-save it to send to blurb?

How do you add pictures to your photo book once you have saved it? Moreover, can you save it again and send it to Blurb.

Go back to Library and drag the extra photos into the book collection.

When viewing slideshow my photo playlist stops and randomly plays for a view seconds only

When I go to view a slideshow of photos the playlist I assigned to play either doesn't play or randomly kicks in during slideshow. I have assigned several different playlist to my photo slideshow and they all do the same thing. I am connected to a Mac. No problems with pictures just my playlist.

When I say playlist I mean music playlist.
