Images in mp4 slideshow are 'soft'.

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong here. I've just completed a quick experiment in Slideshow and exported w/a short-enough piece of music for the 12 slides I'm using.
The slideshow looks great when I play it back in Preview.
However, when I export as a 'video', images in the slideshow look 'soft', out of focus! (Both in the 480x320 and the 720x480 presentation size.)
Now this is the first time I've putzed around w/the Slideshow module since LR2. In the past I had produced PDF slideshows at various presentation sizes with fabulous results. In fact, the fade's were good and w/Adobe's most current Reader installed the transitions were nearly spot-on to what I had built into the slideshows in LR.
What is it I'm not getting about exporting as an mp4 here in LR3?
As well, is there a way I can trim the 'fat' from these finished movies (eg. imovie, etc.)?
For only 12 slides (w/music) at 480x320 we're looking at 3.6MB, the 720x480 file jumps to nearly 14MB!
And, last but not least, any suggestions on good places to shop for mp3 files that are drm-free?
In my experiment I used a piece by Merry Clayton, from the 'Performance' soundtrack; but when I publish something I don't want to be ripping someone's ©'d work...
thx,

See both versions of slideshows I am referencing HERE. (Videos play just fine in Firefox. NO playback in Safari.)

T.R.,
Thanks for the input and your suggestion. If you follow the link I posted in my (very late) response to Pete's post (from back in October) I was finally able to wrestle a 'reasonably sharp' version of the slideshow movie I wanted to make through the Slideshow module w/LR.
What I did was this:
1) Exported images sized to 720p wide. Then
2) Re-imported the smaller TIFF's back into LR and sharpened them almost till my teeth ached (were WAY-too 'crunchy' for my liking when viewed in the content window), then
3) Brought the new, smaller and Über Sharpened images into the Slideshow module where I exported the thing with music AGAIN!
Miraculously this procedure seemed to work... WRONG. (Only temporarily!)
Why do I say this? Because when I decided to make a new slideshow sans music – using the exact same image files w/the same (Snapshot) settings I saved back in October (it is now 5 months later) – the resulting slideshow's images are back to MUSH AGAIN! (Grrrrrrr.)
So I tried your idea T.R., your work-around experimenting with the 'Widescreen' template Adobe provides... NO GO: Got the same garbagy reproduction of images no matter what export size I use for the movie files!
I'm going to keep on trying – BUT I really don't understand why Adobe would roll-out a generally impressive application like LR3 and have included a feature it would seem to me to be of real utility to many of the folks using LR. (Not only wedding shooters, which, I'm going to assume, would totally glom-on to being able to make 'cool' slideshows of the events they make their livings on; but also 'artists' that might create something more 'edgy' or engaging: Combining, say, an mp3 version of some spoken-word story or poem in tandem with an engaging series of images.) But no.
I find myself almost embarrassed now, the praise I continue to heap on this application – and Adobe – when I talk to others about Lightroom. I REALLY have no use for the Print module. The Web module is really quite nice – lots of controls to make clean, sophisticated (HTML) designs – though I still find myself doing additional, followup work in D'weaver to get rid of some clunky design issues w/my exports here. (*It would be great if we could easily adapt templates so that those of us who want to get rid of, for example, that ugly, clunky Old School link underlining that is generated with whatever is typed-into the 'Web or Mail Link' field...) C'est la vie.
Do we really need to purchase ANOTHER app to make wonderful slideshows that look as good as they should?!

Using slideshow function yield very fuzzy/soft focus show. Same images in MS slideshow are sharp.

When I view a selection of images using the slideshow function in Bridge, (CS6) it significantly softens the focus of every image. If I view the same images in the MS slideshow viewer, the images, same screen size, of possibly even slightly larger, are very sharp. Why the problem? Typically I am working with 3-8 MB files.

Thanks for your reply and for the link. However, the link addresses the problem for TV appearance while mine was concerned about the playback on my iMac.
When I burned other DVDs from Keynote, there was no "blurring or fuzziness" with photos or text on playback with my iMac or TV!
Also, the playback was automatic when the disk was inserted. When the latest one was inserted, the disk icon etc had to be clicked for it to run after which full screen had to be selected as well.
I do not want to make a DVD from iDVD - just one that will run the slideshow.
Any other suggestions on burning would be appreciated.

Images exported using Leopard are soft compared to Tiger.

I've been working on exporting images for client preview and noticed that the images I'm exporting under Leopard seem a bit soft. I checked my export settings and everything looks the same as it did under Tiger.
For comparisons sake, I exported several images that had previously been exported under Tiger and there is a definite difference. Side-by-side, the images exported using Leopard are much softer than the images exported using Tiger. The edits on these images were all previously done using Tiger.
Has anyone else noticed this?
I'm using 1.5.6 on 10.5.1.
Thank you!
Cheers,
Anthony

Everything looks fine for me from Aperture and LR. I did a clean install of Leopard and all my apps on a Macbook Pro. Are you looking at images in photoshop to compare them? Preview is not a reliable way to check for sharpness right now, since some rocket scientist decide it would be cool if you couldn't scale in set increments anymore, and the randomly scaled rendition can be very soft. As a follow-on to that thought, are the images on your web site displaying at the size you exported them at? If they're being scaled on the web page, and safari is using the same rendering engine as Preview, it's possible that it's making the images look soft.
hope i said something useful.
Hi Janet,
Hmmm, perhaps the fresh install is the way to go? I'm using Photo Mechanic view the exported images, not Preview or Safari. I only mentioned Preview in an earlier thread because in other discussions I've found, Preview appears to exhibit some of the same softness that myself and a few others are experiencing with our Aperture exports.
Here's a screen grab of two images rendered side-by-side in PhotoMechanic. The top image was exported using Tiger while the bottom image was exported using Leopard. The actual edits on the image (white balance, sharpness, etc) were done previously in Tiger. The only thing I did to the image in Leopard was export it.
http://www.barbatto.com/misc/comparison.jpg
In this example, it's pretty obvious that the image exported with Leopard is much softer. Also note that the file size is slightly smaller for the Leopard exported image.
As for the images on my website, most of them were exported with Aperture under Tiger. Since I've upgraded to Leopard and have been experiencing soft images, I've been using Canon's Digital Photo Professional to export any newer shots I've placed on my site.
Regarding Lightroom, I installed the trial and its exports were flawless. They don't exhibit any of the softness I am experiencing with Aperture.
So, right now, I'm at a loss. I experience this softness on both my MacPro and MacBook Pro. It should be noted that both machines were upgraded. Perhaps I should take some time and do a clean install on one of the machines and see if my results are any different. Or keep my fingers crossed that 10.5.2 will solve my problems
Thanks for your comments!

Images in ACR are softer than when viewed in Photoshop?

Greetings,
I'm finding that when I view a RAW image in ACR 4.1 that the image does not appear as sharp as when I open the image from ACR into Photoshop and view it in Photoshop. I open my RAW files from ACR into Photoshop as PSD files. The image as viewed in Photoshop looks sharper at values less than 100%. Here's a screen grab of the same image (Photoshop on the left, ACR on the right), side by side at the exact same viewing size (23.1%), and the Photoshop image has more sharpness and clarity to it. It's minor, but noticeable in the leaves and bricks and it gives the ACR image an overall soft feeling.
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1jidvrPRXgXSfq8c5IHonNL13oeEI
Do the programs handle interpolation diferrently when viewing images at less than 100%? Or, do RAW and PS files inherently display differently when not viewed at 100%? When both are viewed at 100%, they match. This isn't a major deal breaker -- but the lack of clarity at smaller viewing sizes in ACR is unfortunate, since I rarely view images in ACR at 100% size when I'm reviewing images and images that I think are soft are, in fact, not.
The disparity seems more pronounced with images in portrait orientation.
I'm using a Mac Pro, Radeon X1900, 23" ACD. Canon 5d images.
Anyone experience similar? I love ACR, but wondering if someone can shed some light on this.

Thanks for the clarification now -- it makes sense. I knew ACR only showed the effects of sharpening at 100%, but had forgotten to take into account Photoshop shows the effects of sharpening at all sizes, including under 100%

IDVD is stripping most color from my images in my slideshow. Please help!

I have received so much help from this forum....
I am running iDVD 7.1.2 and Mavericks 10.9.5.
So I started an iDVD project about 18 months ago on a different computer.
I saved the project to an external HDD so I could move it from an iMac with a bad DVD drive to a MacBook with an awesome superdrive. This has always worked for me.
But I don't think think that information affects my current problem.... just tossing it out there because sometimes information we don't think is relevant is certainly relevant to a knowledgeable person!
Fast forward 18 months or so. I open the project on another computer, but iDVD is stripping all but the brightest colors from the images in my slideshow.
Is this a Mavericks thing?
I have tried, in numerous variations, even to the point of starting a completely new DVD project and dropping the images into the app..... still the same problem: all the images are mostly black and white (or gray tones at best), with the occasional colored brightest elements from the original photo. (It's a cool effect, just not appropriate or desirable for this particular project.)
I have tried the project on different computers, both with opening a new project and with building a new project. It just doesn't matter. The slideshow images lose color. Except, an interesting caveat is that if I pause the playback, click the previous slide button, then play: the image has full color again. But subsequent images are again B&WwC.
I figure it must be something awry with the settings in Wirecast.....
Thank you so much for any assistance.

Hi
In what kind of format is Your photos ? .jpg, .tif, .bmp else
What size are they ?
How many ?
How many slideshow set's ?
You are aware of the 99 photos per serie limit. And 99 series/chapters limit per DVD disk ( not iDVD but DVD-Standard in general ).
Yours Bengt W

Repeating images and replacing images in a slideshow

does anyone happen to know if I can select a set of images and basically copy them so that they are duplicated within a slideshow? I have a rotation of an object and I would like the slideshow to show it rotating twice whereas right now it only rotates once. Is there a way to copy the 60 images and paste them within the slideshow (even though they will have similar names) so that I can put them at the end of the first 60? I have a front cover image and a end image so I can't just loop it.
Is it preferable for me to import the images into Aperture again by copying them into the slideshow?
Also, is it possible to alternatively /write-over/ images in the slideshow? RIght now I have some images at the front that I would like to redo and I am wondering if I can redo them outside of Aperture and simply copy them into the slideshow and have the old ones written over or if it necessary to delete the old ones and import the new ones...
thanks for any help with this.

Hi Gibbah,
You'd have to place the line with:
var imageLoader:Loader;
within the loop.
Now the same loader is told 5 times to load an image and to
report when done. Each time overwriting the previous commands.
With the variable declared inside the loop a new loader is
created each time.
In the eventhandler you'd have to point to:
Loader( e.target.loader ) instead of 'imageLoader'
apart from that i will aways trace 5 since it is declared
outside any function and thus reports the last value it was
assigned. This also means all images will end up at the same
position.

How do I go from a link to a specific image in a slideshow?

I have a two-part question.
1. How do I go from a link to a specific image in a slideshow? If you take a look at the attached screenshot, here's what I'd like to accomplish. I wan to click on a link like B for examply at the top of the page. It scrolls down the page to ANCHOR "b" where I have a slide show. Once it scrolls down, I would like to have the slideshow to slide over to the image set that matches the link that was clicked. in this case, if i click on B at the top, the slideshow would slide to image set "B".
2. Each piece of work I want to display has three images. One which is our main image seen inside the black outlined box below. There are however two additional images tied to each piece being shown. What is the best way to set this up? The default way of using the slideshow is limiting.

Unfortunately I don't have an answer for you as I have the same problem!
I want to link images on one page to certain slides on another.
Have you had any luck solving this?
I've spent hours looking for a solution... I'm very frustrated!!!
Will post again if I get some answers.
Best of luck

David, as of right now there is no way to click a link and have it go to a speficic image inside of a slideshow on another page. It will only show the first image in the slideshow on that other page.
So, perhaps you could just have the image you want to jump to on the other page, be the first image in the slide show. Make sense?

Arranging/Ordering images in a slideshow

It seems that when I upload images to a slideshow, they play in a random order. Is it possible to have the images appear in a certain order?

Hi Alanna,
The images in the slideshow appears in the order they appear in the thumbnails box, unless you have the option to shuffle, checked. Screen shot - http://prntscr.com/3mq8if
I will recommend that you, in order to arrange them in a certain order, use the thumbnails box and if you are not willing to use the thumbnails in your design then you can disable that once after you have arranged the images.

Scale images in a slideshow

Greetings
Is there a way to scale or position images in a slideshow such that they are within title safe? My slideshow images are getting severely cropped on my tv. Or, do I have to adjust them in photoshop so that they have a black border around them? I'd rather not do that.
Thanks!

William:
Or, do I have to adjust them in photoshop
Yes.
In Photoshop CS2 select New file and choose from the presets list the video format your are authoring, i.e. DV NTSC. This way you'll get a blank canvas with your video dimensions including the Tittle safe area. Use as a base canvas to resize and/or recenter your pictures.
REmember using the Acion & Tittle safe references lines active in DVDSP. That way you can check if something important in your picture (... i.e. a head !!!) is outside the action safe zone.
Hope that helps !

Slideshows are Choppy in Front Row

Hi all, thanks in advance for any advice you may have.
I can view slideshows smoothly when played directly from iphoto. However, when I view the same slideshow from within Front Row, there is a slow down when transitioning from one image to the next. This means the show gets out of sync with the music. I use the slideshows for my business, so this is unacceptable.
I'm fairly certain that this started happening with I upgraded to from Leopard to Snow Leopard.
Any ideas on what I could try to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Have you also inquired over in the Front Row forum? Your situation hasn't been discussed before here as far as I can tell.
Try clearing out iPhoto's cache folder, User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto, and rebuild the library's database, backup and launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed to rebuild the library. Select the last three options.

See if that makes any difference.
If the slideshows are critical you might want to consider creating them as QT movies so the music stays in sync and playing the movies in Front Row.

What resolution and if I need to do anythig with digitalstill images files?

Use an image editing program like Photoshop to resize the images to the correct resolution
and pixel aspect ratio (PAR) of your DVD before importing them into PPro. PPro does not resize images very well.
You will also find links to many
free tutorials in the PremiereProPedia that will quickly show you how things are done in Premiere Pro.

CS6 Bridge Previews are Soft

The previews and thumbnails in Bridge are soft (previews softer), so I chave to open up an image to decide whether to keep it or trash it based upon sharpness.
Somebody please help!!!

Someone else will need to answer whether the images should always look the same as what you see Photoshop in a practical sense - I don't use Bridge regularly. I just know a few of its options.
Regarding getting a filmstrip on the right... I fooled with Bridge just now for about 30 seconds... Try selecting the Preview workspace up at the top, then moving the divider to the right and swapping the positions of the tabs. There may be another way, but this works:

Can I link an image within a slideshow to an external link?

I have tried to link one of my images within a slideshow to an external link. However, when I select the image within the slideshow or it's thumbnail, the 'Link' option in the toolbar is not available. Is there a different way to achieve this?

Hi avary.s
" Image Option" : http://prntscr.com/svhz7 Tells that its actually the whole image that is being placed within this slide show container. check :
check : http://prntscr.com/svine
However, "Hero Image" as show in screen shot provided in above reply, is a container which shows the edited part of the complete image : check : http://projectuni01.businesscatalyst.com/screenshots/2013-02-16_0217.png
So in this case, In slideshows, the links are actually get applied on Hero image or on the slideshow containers.
I hope this information helps
