Images used in an iPhoto Slideshow are clipped top and bottom. Why?
After importing images into iPhoto I incorporate them into slideshows. But when I view the results even after removing title and Ken Burns effects, they are clipped on the top and bottom by a signifiant amount. How do I correct this. I have had to add extra areas top and bottom to compensate. I'm using iPhoto version 9.5.1 on the latest Mavericks OS on a mid 2011 iMac.
I tried expanding the canvas (using Photoshop) to a 16 x 9 width-to-height ratio with Black fill. Worked perfectly in iPhoto.
Thanks for the tip about the wrong aspect ratio.

Using PNG format with max width without clipping top and bottom of image?
I am using PNG format to preserve the transparency and drop shadow I am trying to incorporate to give the illusion that this slab object is floating above the other layers. I first tried file>place to position the menu object on edge of header/beginning of content. Doing that leaves no options to force the image to span the width of whatever screen. I need that so I've tried using object>fill> and then clicking the max width of the rectangle (which does solve the max width problem), but I am now dealing with a clipping problem of the top and bottom of the image. The next thing I can think of is to go back to Photoshop and distort the image so it isn't as tall. I feel there has to be a simpler way to accomplish this that won't also give my image a unnatural look. Thoughts? Thanks in advance.
Thanks, that helps. I also found that I cropped to much of the canvas. After increasing the canvas area AND setting to fill all is well now. I think your suggestion may help with the scrolling affect problem I'm having when using different resolutions. I am going to try to set the size in one dimension (height) so that different resolution screens see the same scroll actions. Thanks Mylenium!

How to crop a QuickTime movie to delete black top and bottom areas?
How to crop a QuickTime movie? I mean, a ".mov" movie that shows a black area on top and bottom, which I want to delete.
I have tried with iMovie 8.0.5, yet its "Window - Cropping..." to fit, crop and Ken burns does not allow to select the area that I want, which is extra wide.
Thanks.How to crop a QuickTime movie? I mean, a ".mov" movie that shows a black area on top and bottom, which I want to delete.
Basically, you have two options. 1) You can use an application like MPEG Streamclip (free) which allows you to reset the top/bottom/left/right screen edges (i.e., crop the active viewing area) and then re-compress the remaining content as a new file (as recommended by QTKirk) or 2) if you have QT Pro, you can simply "mask" the player display which crops the display screen to the desired mask dimension and location within the original area. The advantage of the latter work flow is not having to re-compress the file which can be very time consuming. Since the latter method may seem confusing to some, I have prepared a "quickie" tutorial which may be able to "talk" you through the process:

After importing images from my card using LR 5.4, the GPS data does not show in the metadata panel. However, when I look at the imported images using Bridge, the GPS data is visible. Anybody know why LR is not seeing the GPS data? Camera is Canon 6D.
Ok, the issue seem to be solved. The problem was this:
The many hundred files (raw and xmp per image) have been downloaded by ftp in no specific order. Means - a couple of files in the download queue - both raw and xmps. Most of the time, the small xmp files have been finished loading first and hence the "last change date" of these xmp files was OLDER than the "last change date" of the raw file - Lightroom then seem to ignore the existence of the xmp file and does not read it during import.(a minute is enough to run into the problem)
By simply using the ftp client in a way that all large raw files get downloaded first followed by the xmp files, we achieved that all "last changed dates" of the xmp files are NEWER than the related raw files. (at least not older)
And then LR is reading them and all metadata information has been set / read correctly.
So this is solved. -
Since I unloaded OS7 and started using I cloud, the photos taken are smaller. The picture doesn't take up the whole viewer of the I phone. Therfe is a line,top and bottom. Any suggestions?
Hi shldr2thewheel,
it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
Sincerely in need of help once again,
Kim -
Using my ipad 3, with ios 6.0, I can access the itunes store and app store by pressing the icons, but the screens are all blank pages, I have tool bars at the top and bottom of the viewing screen, but when I touch the individual tabs, the viewing screen is either white or dark grey...nothing else appears. Help.
Having the same issue, can someone please enlighten us?

Firefox upon opening an image in a new tab, centers the image from top and bottom and surrounds the image with a grey frame. Just started having the problem today, searched Google to no avail.
Oh wow, looks like a new feature.
The "page" links in a stylesheet with the address "resource://gre/res/TopLevelImageDocument.css". If you remove that reference, then the image displays in the old style.
'''''Edit: Please skip the rest of this post and check out the next one.'''''
There might be a more elegant solution than that, but you could use a bookmarklet to strip out that link when you want to view the page in its old style. A bookmarklet is a snippet of JavaScript you save on the Bookmarks toolbar for quick access.
First, copy the following code to the clipboard (it's all one long line):
<br>javascript:var ssheet=document.querySelector('link[href="resource://gre/res/TopLevelImageDocument.css"]'); if(ssheet)ssheet.parentNode.removeChild(ssheet); void 0;
Next, if you are not displaying the Bookmarks Toolbar, use View > Toolbars > Bookmarks Toolbar to display it. (If you aren't using the classic Menu bar, press Alt+v to call up the old View menu. Right-clicking the gray area just below the page address also allows you to display the Bookmarks Toolbar.)
Right-click on the Bookmarks Toolbar (or Mac equivalent of right-click!) and choose New Bookmark.
Paste the code into the Location box (the second box).
Then type a useful name in the Name box (e.g., Oldstyle Picture) and click Add.
Now, when you want to tweak the image display, click the button to run the script.
Manual clicking is a hassle, so it might make sense to look into other solutions. (Greasemonkey didn't seem to work; I think it might not run on .jpg files.) -
I have all my clips with an extra edge around the top and bottom I want to remove
As you can see from the image below, I have all my source videos recorded at 1024x820. I want to, using Premiere clip this to 1024x768 removing some from both the top and bottom. I'll have hundreds of clips of this shape (1024x820) I will import into premiere. Is there some kind of transformation I can do that will clip the top and bottom so that my exports come out at 1024x768? I don't want to shrink the full picture, I want to clip the top and bottom edges cleanly.
All I am doing is the following:
import my mov file that is 1024 x 820
create a sequence that is 1024 x 768
export the sequence
I made a video showing the steps (very boring, sorry).
I'm sure there is something simple I'm missing. i'm 99% sure my result is wrong from the looks of it in the movie player.

I am using Elements 8 [with a recently installed Mac IOS 10.9] and a new Epson Artisan 1430 printer . When I print 4" X 6" borderless photos, the top and bottom 1" are now cutoff in Portrait orientation and the right and left 1" are cutoff in Landscape orientation. I do not have the same problem printing from iPhoto. Epson tech support says this is not an Epson problem. Does anyone have any suggestions? Maybe I should just install Elements 12 and see if this might solve the problem. Any ideas?

Why does the top and bottom of my clips get cut off?
Hi, I'm new to iMovie and I've encountered an annoying problem. I imported all my movie files from my flash drive without any issues. I dragged a clip from the section with all the clips to the play reel. I previewed the clip, both normal screen and full screen, and both times the top and bottom of the clip was cut off. I tried it again with different clips but the same thing kept happening? Can anyone tell me why this happens because my head keeps getting cut off and I don't like it one bit.
First, you can go into File/Project Preferences and adjust the aspect ratio of your project to either widescreen (16:9) or standard (4:3), to match your footage.
You can combine footage that is widescreen and standard in the same project. In this case, you have to tell imovie how to handle the clips that do not fit the overall project aspect ratio. To do this, you can select a clip in your project and use the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns Tool. If you select FIT, it will preserve the whole frame by inserting black bars (letterboxing). If you select CROP it will cut off the top and bottom. You can select the default for this in Project Properties. -
Why when almost completed editing a video on imovie, have almost half the clips developed narrow aspect - the rest is still widescreen? The faulty clips have developed grey bands top and bottom.
Tried to duplicate the situation.
Most probably I got it wrong but when adding in
• a photo in 16x9 then I get a black letterbox-ing
• an 16x9 video taken from a small compact digital Camera and in wrong frames per seconds (30fps) in a PAL (25fps) project - I get this gray banding too. Strange
May be it has to do with matching different fps in same project - never liked to do that as quality usually suffers and it goes jumpy.
I use JES_Deinterlacer to get all my material into the same standard first - not letting iMovie or iDVD do that conversion as that gives ME BAD RESULT.
Someone with clear knowledge on this - Please feel free to fill in and correct.

How do I remove top and bottom margins when printing using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard.
How do I remove top and bottom margins when printing using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard. (I selected 'Fit to scale' and there's a huge gap on the top and bottom).
Those margins are usually reported from the printer settings to Acrobat. Meansif you have, for example, an inkjet printer and that printer can not print seamlessly, then there will be a minimum margin.
Check your printer's page settings. -
While types a blank document on pages, there are "invisible" boxes at the top and bottom of each page, and they only appear when I scroll over them. Does anyone know what these boxes are, and how i can get rid of them from my paper?
Those are the Header and Footer spaces. You remove them using the Document Inspector. Uncheck the "Headers" and "Footers" checkboxes shown checked here:

Hi,
Just switched from CS6 to PS CC. I am very comfortable using ACR in previous versions. I liked to use the preview checkbox located in the upper right-hand corner to see before and afters. That checkbox is no longer in my version of PS CC. I see that they have side-by-side, top and bottom and right and left before and after options in the lower right-hand corner in this version. Is there anyway to get that legacy preview checkbox back so that I can use it?Hi Warunicorn,
Thank you very much. I just could not find it on my own. I will have more questions as I get into it.

When I use Garageband the window is so large that I can't reach the bottom corner to decrease the window to fit inside the display so that I can see the top and bottom of the window at the same time.
Any suggestions?You can reduce the window by grabbing any edge or corner. You don't have to use the bottom right anymore.
You could also temporarily move the dock to the left/right so you can reach the bottom.
