Image number attached to slide show images

I am a photographer and would like to offer dvd proofs. is there a way to have the existing image number show up in the slide show presentation, either on the photo as some sort of watermark or as the file number displayed when they fast forward or rewind through the images?

Julie:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I've not found any way to automatically add the file name to the images. To do that you'll need to use a 3rd party editor like Photoshop or Photoshop Elements to add the file name to each photo. Then use that photo in the iDVD. If you're using iPhoto you can then do a Revert to Original to get back the untitled image. If you're using some other image management application then you'll need to create duplicates of those files to add the file names to.
You could create the slideshow in iMovie and add the file name as a sub-title and then add the movie to iDVD.
Hope this has been of some help. Good luck.

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).

Prevent slide show image resizing

Is there any way to prevent iweb from resizing images for the slideshow? My images are already resized to the exact size that I want them to be displayed. I don't want the software to mess with them!!!

Re-Toast DVD - is it the same as IDVD - That is can you burn a number of .mov slide shows on the same disk? Thank you

Re-Toast DVD - is it the same as IDVD - That is can you burn a number of .mov slide shows on the same disk? Thank you

Toast can author and burn video DVDs but it's not nearly as versatile as iDVD is in creating video DVDs. Toast can only create one menu so all items must be on it, i.e. no sub-menus, no animated menus, etc.

I would like to know how to add images and create a slide show

The image I try to add to my web page show up as grayed out boxes and never show up.
I would also love to learn how to make a slide show to enhance my home page.
Thank you!

The easiest way is to go to:
Insert >> Image
This method will allow you to browse the image you want to insert. I am, of course, assuming you have defined your site and that you have created a folder for images in line with "best practice" of good web designing. If not, it doesn't matter because you will get a prompt to move the image to your site if it is not already there.
Good luck anyway and post back.
For slide show, your best option is to google for it because there are some really good scripts out there that can do a fantastic job for you.

Why can I not check the 'shuffle images' box in a slide show settings in iPhoto 9.6?

Why can I not check the 'Shuffle images' box in settings of a slide show in iPhoto 9.6? All other settings I can check but this one.

Hey Brad,
If you are unable to select the shuffle images checkbox, follow the steps in this article -
iPhoto '11: Change slideshow settings
Specifically -
To display slides in random order, select “Shuffle slide order.” If you don’t see this option, play the slideshow, move the pointer to make the slideshow controls appear, and then click the Settings button.

Image vibrations in display slide show on iPad and Apple TV

I am using iPhoto 11 to create slide shows. I use the standard export option for I wish to run the same movie on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV.
Running the slide show in iPhoto the quality is good, however on iPad and Apple TV some of the images become very unstable and vibrate or shake for some seconds.

Rentals are one-time only downloads, they will not show on other devices/computers for redownloading.
If you rent a film on your iPad or Apple TV then you can only watch it on that device. If you rent it on your Mac then you can move it from there to your iPhone or your Apple TV (if it's a first gen Apple TV) : FAQs about renting movies from the iTunes Store :
If you rented the movie on your computer, you can move it to an iOS device or Apple TV (1st generation). To do this, connect the devices and sync using USB. When you move a rented movie from your computer, it will disappear from your computer’s iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as much as you want, but you can only have it on one device at a time.
If you rented the movie on your iOS device or Apple TV, you can’t move it to any other device.

Slide shows images too big. How to scale??

OK, I've been pulling my hair out over this.
I create a slide show but the images crop off the tops and bottoms, as they drift along. I've played with the settings (fill screen/ 4:3/16:9) but no luck. Also, vertical images are a joke in slide show.
Q: How can I make the iPhoto slide show truly fit images to screen? Thanks.
-Dooki

Thanks Larry. By default it's turned off,though I've tried on as well.
I played more by adjusting the size of the images in photoshop. The default was something like 32"x 27"(thereabouts) @ 72dpi. I reduced it to 11 x 8.5 @100dpi. This reduction did not work either. It still cropped off the top and bottom.

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.
Jorge

See Preparing images for DVD slideshows at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/17.html

Basically, that's an overkill. At this point (pre-HD capable burners) we are limited to the less than 640x480 pixel resolution of the NTSC system (or 768x576 pixel resolution of PAL).
You slide show should look 'fairly good' on a TV set or on your computer monitor viewed at 640x480.
Sorry.

Slide Show images gallery XML

Hi,
I need to do a slide show with a XML File, the XML document
is for save the path of the images, but I don't know how to load

sample, I will appreciate...

What is the best import size for slide show images?

I have imported images sized 720 pix on the long end, and I'm not happy with the iDVD 08 quality - the images are soft. It's only a 50 image slide show. Can I use full resolution images and if so does iDVD size them down ? I am exporting Jpegs out of LightRoom so I can make any size/quality required.
Or, is there another app I should try that would give more professional results. I do like the themes in iDVD and the general interface. Is there an app that would perhaps take slide show produced elsewhere (like ProShowGold, SWF n Slide) and produce a theme/menu list/background etc., Soundslides Plus)
I am burning at 1X speed, and Pro encoding.
Thanks

I'm not sure if you are in NTSC land or PAL land and the recommended sizes are slightly different. See Preparing images for iDVD slideshows at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/6675.html
Can I use full resolution images and if so does iDVD size them down ?
My experience has been the trying to use large, hi-res images actually produces slightly lower image quality than images I have resized and sharpened in Photoshop to the recommended sizes.
Or, is there another app I should try that would give more professional results. I do like the themes in iDVD and the general interface.
I just did some recent test and iDVD '08 gave as high a quality images as any of the others (and was better than iPhoto or iMovie created slideshow movies). It's important to remember that the images on the DVDs we create are low res (640x480 square pixels for NTSC) which is only about 0.3 megapixels. They were designed to be viewed on 'old-fashioned' CRT TV sets which have that same resolution. Viewing such a slideshow full screen on a computer monitor with 4 to 8 times more pixels is less than optimum.
I am burning at 1X speed, and Pro encoding.
Under 4 x is good. Pro encoding is a waste of time for such slideshows- you would get the best quality using 'Best Performance'.
If you ONLY want to view your slideshow on your computer - and NOT on a TV set - there are better, more high-resolution approaches you can take than using iDVD.

Losing connection to Time Capsule share of slide show images

My 10.6.latest iMac screen saver references a folder on my Time Capsule external drive over a WiFi network.
Lately (10.6.5?), instead of seeing the screen saver images, I see a "unable to find" sort of message. I can still connect to the Time Machine through the FInder.
My hunch is that the Time Capsule drive has gone to sleep and the OS X screen saver is timing out before it comes online.
Anyone see anything like this?
I'm thinking of running a script or utility that would simply access the Time Capsule NAS frequently.

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to solve the problem. ITunes still periodically complains that it can't find the library - this happens both when the Mac has been on for awhile and I first start up iTunes, or if iTunes has been running for awhile as well. In either case, I have to click through to the Time Capsule share with the iTunes library on it. I can tell the Mac has lost the connection because it takes some time for the share and its folders to show up as I click through the path.
Anyone else run into this???

Ctrl + click on the songs you want to group - then right click and click get info and it will ask you if you want to get info for multiple items click YES then under album name it whatever you want and them songs will be grouped into 1 album.

Same procedure but hit SHIFT instead of CTRL.
Actually, it's right click or ctrl click, same as windows.
