Image Captions in Slide Show

Is there a way to capture the metadata title and use that as the image caption?
Failing that, is there a way to alter the image caption without changing the file name?
Finally, is there a way to delete the stars that sometimes appear under the image in Bridge?

Justin, I am having the same problem as you. I will look into what Cyclosaurus is saying to do, but it is probably a bit complicated for my brain. One thing you can do without any coding, is to space down your captions 3 or 4 times on the page where the full size version of your picture is. Then, your captions will not have a line through them when viewing in the slideshow mode that includes the thumbnails. Also, the full truncated captions will not appear in the true slideshow. I have the first line showing and then I spaced all the rest of the description down. It is hard to explain, so here is an example that I am working on for a friend. http://www.karenmardis.com/TheJewels/Pages/The_ExpressionsCollection.html One thing to note, your page has to be at least as tall as what the longest caption will need. It's a bit clumsy but it worked for me. Hope that is helpful.

  • How can I exchange all the images in a slide show with new ones

    I have 18 slide shows each is a different competition for our camera club. How can I exchange all the images from each slide show with new images as our club competitions commence? I am reluctant to just delete the slide show because I will have set it all back up. I want to leave the size shape and format of the show as is, but just exchange all of the current images with new ones. I am hoping there is a quick way to delete and replace all images for each show? Each slide show has around 40 images and I have 18 shows
    thank you for your help

    1. Activate "thumbnails" in the configuration panel
    2. Select one Thumbnail.
    3. Rightclick and choose "Select same"
    4. Press "backspace"
    5. Open the configuration panel and load the new images.

  • Roll over images in a slide show

    I am trying to make a slide show of before and after images for a client.
    Rather than just have them all one after the other, I want all the after images to display as normal, and the before to display on hover for each slide.
    I can make this work in a basic slide show when rather than adding an image to the Hero Image box, I use the fill and states.
    However this only allows me to do one, as I can't add any more empty Hero Image boxes (or I don't know how to do that, is it possible?)
    When I add an image via the slide show menu it appears on top of any fills, and I can't seem to give images added this way a roll over state.
    Can anyone tell me how to either add extra blank Hero Image boxes, or how to apply the effect I want to the images in the Hero Image boxes.
    Thanks in advance, if there is any further info I can provide about my problem, please let me know!

    Hi,
    You cannot add multiple hero image boxes within the same Slideshow. Now , you can use different slideshows for your different images but that wont give you the slideshow effect but you will be able to see all your after images at once and then if you rollover them you would be able to see the before images.
    Now, In order to create the effect that you want, what I would suggest you is to use a 'Composition widget'. In the composition widget, you can make the triggers as small thumbnails for your images and in the Target you can set the fill as your after image and in rollover state you can use the before image. After this you can use the Autoplay feature available in the composition widget and you will get the desired result.
    Hope this helps

  • Is there a limit to the number of images in a slide show?

    I am making a slide show for an event and would like to use lots of pictures, is there a limit in the number of images in a folder? the number of images in a slide show?

    is there a limit in the number of images in a folder? the number of images in a slide show?
    None that I know off. But why are you asking? Did you notice any performance problems or problems to render the slideshow? Then it would help to know more about your hardware RAM, disk, CPU ..
    If you already encountered problems, you may wish to have a look at this thread - although it relates to Aperture 3, not 2:
    Is there a limit on the number of photos you can use in an Aperture slideshow?
    And as I said in that thread:
    I'd expect the limiting factor to the length of a slide show to be the patience and "Good Will" of your intended audience

  • Rating images while in slide show mode?

    Is it possible to rate images while in slide show mode? I didn't see a reference to it in the manual. If not this would be a very handy feature (you can do this in LR)

    I have used full screen and other layouts to do ratings. I was running through my 1st major project and fine tune - wanted to filter out some images by lower ratings. Actually I would like to pause a slide show and do whatever to images, then continue, and have the music continue as well - without starting over. As aperture is mostly flexible in regard to adjusting image settings whenever (as compared to LR, which seems more modal), it seems like slide slow is more limited then it could be. Its sometime nicer to sit back rather than working the keyboard constantly. And i'm not thrilled about using a 3 key combo to explicitly set ratings. that's a 2 handed operation for something, so I mostly end up using the -/= keys.

  • Image quality of slide shows using Aperture 3 seems inferior to iPhoto '08

    I haven't previously used Aperture. I've been using a copy of iPhoto '08 for several years. I've shot everything in RAW for the last several years and process it in
    DXO on my Mac Pro (3 1/2 years old with 7 gigs of RAM). I then load the jpegs into iPhoto '08.
    I downloaded Aperture 3 yesterday, and it certainly is impressive in what it can do for improving existing jpegs. I think I could do most touch-ups with Aperture
    instead of Photoshop 3. Because of some glitch, I couldn't load or link to my 37,000 images from iPhoto but I did export about 4000 images as full jpegs into
    a separate file and then imported these images into Aperture. Touch-ups are an order of magnitude better that trying to use iPhoto to do the same.
    I'm an amateur and aside from a fair amount of print making and a few thousand images uploaded to a new Picasa account
    http://picasaweb.google.com/jamesn88888
    I enjoy a lot of my images via slide shows on my 23" Apple monitor, usually sequenced at 3 seconds per slide.
    Comparing slide shows of identical jpegs run with iPhoto '08 and then with the files uploaded to Aperture 3 there is a very subtle loss of definition with Aperture. It's not so
    obvious when viewing relatively large detail but is is very noticeable when running slides containing small detail. When both of these programs are just used to display static images full screen I note no difference in readability. Someone suggested that I check the preferences for preview displays. Sure enough, it was set for relatively low quality. I decided to re-do all 4000 images maximum preview display quality.
    Using the import settings that came already selected on the trial software, the total size of my
    Aperture 3 trial library was a little over 25 GB. The quality of the slide shows did not approximate
    the quality of the slide shows of the identical jpegs included in my iPhoto '08 library.
    I therefore re-processed all of the previews to the "don't limit" in the photo preferences. The total size of my Aperture 3 trial library grew from 25GB to 41.37GB, an increase of 17 GB. With 3926 jpegs in the library that means the average additional size added to each preview image was 4.33 Megabytes. Inasmuch as the original jpeg images that I imported into Aperture 3 were more in the neighborhood of 1.7 to 3.5 Megabytes each (I have DXO output most jpegs @ 90% quality- fine for my purposes), this is an extreme measure to take in order to be able to use Aperture 3 the same way that I used iPhoto '08. In comparing slide shows between the two applications I still get the feeling that there is a very slight loss in acutance when viewing the slide shows. iPhoto still wins out.
    I think that I'm better off staying with iPhoto and continuing to do the RAW processing with DXO and slight file modifications with iPhoto. More elaborate changes can continue to be done using Photoshop 3 and Viveza. It's a shame, because I really like the image processing abilities that are contained in the new Aperture.
    Have any of you compared slide show views on your computer between Aperture and iPhoto?
    Is there any workaround for best slide show viewing- importing or referencing my existing iPhoto library of 37,000 images does not work for me. My copy of iPhoto 7.1.5 get the message that Aperture cannot import or link to iPhoto earlier than 7.1.5 (?)

    I think I've solved my problem with a Google Search. I came across a free slide show generator
    (contributions requested) that shows much higher quality slide shows than either iPhoto or Aperture 3.
    You click on a folder of jpegs and it almost immediately generates thumbnails and within a few seconds
    I can be viewing a full screen, tack sharp, slideshow of all of the files in the folder. Much sharper than
    I'm used to seeing.
    I think I'll keep the Aperture 3 and use if for the purpose it's intended for in the future. I'll also redo the
    image preview files to the small size it started with and then I'll copy all of the files I'm interested in from
    iPhoto into a separate folder on another disk. I'll use Aperture to catalog and to perform image manipulations
    on but I won't try to use it as an iPhoto replacement. I don't think I'll be using iPhoto much as an image
    viewer in the future either after I finish moving my favorite pictures to the Phoenix Slides folder.
    The name of the free program is Phoenix Slides. It's free to download and try, free to keep (though I
    think you'd want to pay the small amount requested) and fast. My pictures have never looked so good
    before.

  • PSE 4  Use Filenames as Captions in Slide Show

    Most of my files have meaningful filenames. However when I want to make a slide show I can't figure out how to get the filenames to display as captions so people know whats going on. Is there a way of copying the filenames to the captions field. I would hate to have to copy and paste each one.

  • Adding images to a slide show

    I'm sure this has been asked a bazillion times here but I'm
    so new to Flash (we're talking a couple of days) that I wouldn't
    know what to search on much less what question(s) to ask. That
    having been said I'm tasked with adding images to an existing Flash
    site that has 4 slide shows (it's for a photographer). I have all
    of the .fla files and I can successfully change an image but when
    it plays it's taller than the other existing images (even though
    they are the same height in pixels) and I'm sure fixing that is
    just a couple of clicks.
    He said with false self-confidence...
    I have other, more specific, questions but it's better to ask
    them in
    this
    image to be more clear about what I'm referring to (without
    knowing the correct terminology).
    I know Photoshop, ImageReady, Illustrator and GoLive (so I'm
    no knucklehead) but Flash is a whole new ball game so I apologize
    for my ignorance. Once I get up to speed with Flash I won't be
    asking dumb stuff like this.
    As a sidebar question what's the best way to get up to speed
    with Flash? Is Lynda.com any good?
    TIA

  • I have the most horrible muse bug ever with slide shows mixing images up

    Hi there.  I'm making a comic. I uploaded multiple episodes of the comic - each to it's own slideshow in adobe muse.  However the pages in the various slideshows are mixing up with my other slideshows.  At first I thought it was just a caching problem in preview mode of muse because after uploading all looked okay and my on-line website looked perfect.  However suddenly today several of the comics have the wrong images in them. I did nothing in the assets window.  It was all working (at least on line where it counts) until now.  this is a disaster.  My poor website.
    I uploaded it to my own website but if anyone wants to see I can also upload to BC.
    this problem appeared again (but on upload as well today) after I switched off the thumbnails.  maybe that is a clue as it was working until then (at least online).
    Please help me - I am desperate.  And no, I do not wish to rename all the pages in my comic from page 1.jpg to page 1_comic4.jpg etc to give each image (page of my comic) a unique name.  I would have thought I could have same name assets that are different images.  To rename all my images and put them back into muse would be so much work it would probably be easier for me just to go back to iweb and wait for easyweb to come out.

    I have batch renamed all my assets, deleted all my slideshow thumb nails and replaced them so none of the images in my slide show have the same name as other assets anymore. I am sure this is what caused the problem.  I am about to reupload my website, so you won't be able to see the problem anymore (I sincerely hope).
    The problem wasn't always reproducible. To be able to reproduce the bug you need 10 different slideshows (all with images called page_1.jpg, page_2.jpg etc with more than 50 pages in some of the galleries, and then you have to upload the slideshows, make changes to the website,upload again, then make more changes to the website, then go to all the galleries one at a time with the thumbnails visable then uncheck the show thumbnails box for all the different slideshows and upload again.

  • Why are slide show images less sharp than preview images?

    Dear Aperture users,
    as documented in the manual and on Apple's support pages, Aperture 3 uses the preview images for its slide show. However, when I compare the quality of my preview images in full-screen mode with the quality of the slide show images, the preview images clearly look sharper.
    Apparently, Aperture's slide show does not simply use the preview images as documented, but applies some sort of "adjustment", resulting in less crisp looking images. Since I haven't found any satisfying answer yet, my questions are:
    1). What exactly is the adjustment that slide show applies to the preview images?
    2). Can I somehow tweak this adjustment, say, with a terminal command?
    Best regards,
    Dirk61.

    iPhoto can make two different types of slide show movies. It would help to know which you're making.
    One is made via the File/Export to QuickTime movie and makes a 4 track file with a simple fade effect. These use the Photo-JPEG codec.
    The other is a 30 fps "video" using H.264 video codec via the "Share" menu.
    A third method (rarely used) is to Export to iDVD. This makes an absurdly high data rate MPEG-4 video. This is also found under the Share menu.
    The MPEG-4 video codec also includes an "automatic" gamma correction feature which compensates for the gammas difference between Mac's and PC's.
    Try one export to iDVD. Include your audio track prior but use a high quality (.aiff) sound file. No need to actually "burn" the DVD. You can even close iDVD after it opens. You'll find the new movie in your Users Movie folder.
    Open it with QT Pro and export to a new .mov file. Adjust the data rate to something more reasonable and add some audio compression.
    If the colors still look too dark you can use the built in Filters in the Export dialog. You can adjust B&C or HSL or even use ColorSync Profiles that can help correct the image quality (if needed).

  • Low image quality on idvd slide show DVD

    Hi, I am trying to create a DVD that will play wildlife images. I have the images (In high ressolution, edited at photoshop CS2) and an audio file (Wildlife sounds)
    I went to IDVD, choosed a theme, added an image as the entrance, add a slide show, added the images to the slide show, added the sound to the slide show and exported.
    My settings in idvd are set to best quality.
    The resulting DVD presents very low quality, saturation has decreased immensly, sharpness is gone. Audio VERY loud.
    Is this the best quality iDVD can provide? Shall I use FCP (I wish to avoid it since I will like to make new versions of the cd as long as new images arrive, iDVD, if it provides good quality, will make life much easier.
    By the way, I tried exporting a slide show from iPHOTO to iDVD but the resulting quality is extremely poor. I also tried to prepare the slide shows on iMOVIE but the results I get are not good either...
    Is there anything I ma doing wrong? Should I change the settings somewhere womehow? or Should I forget about iDVD?
    Hope to receive an answer soon. Thanks for your time. Cheers.

  • Slide show does not Play Images Worked on in CS2- 2nd post
