Iphoto and adding slideshow pictures...

Hey everybody,
So I have a slideshow together and it is perfect pretty much the only thing is that I need to add another piture and when I try to add it I drag it to my hard disk and then into my slideshow and it always turns up double. Then when I go to delete one picture the other one is automatically deleted along with it. What am I doing wrong?! Thanks so much in advance.

Is this slideshow made in iPhoto? If so, why are you dragging the pic to your HD. Just drag it from the iPhoto Library (Top left, in the Source Pane) to the the Slideshow icon, also in the left hand pane.
Regards

Iphoto and MobileMe - duplicate pictures, distorted...

I posted this originally under MobileMe and have received no answers at all and it's more an iPhoto 11 issue I think.....
I'm having trouble with iPhoto and my MobileMe gallery. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
I upload photos to the MobileMe gallery from iPhoto 11. I just click on that share button in left corner. That goes fine.
But when I to go my mobileme gallery there are duplicates and some of the duplicates are distorted (and when you open them they are sideways). It has something to do with the feature that automatically uploads to my MobileMe. Even when I'm not clicking on the "share" button when I open iPhoto I can see on the left side where is says "library" then "Albums" below that is "web" and it gets that little sort of sync symbol each time I open iPhoto.
Once I close iPhoto, I go to MobileMe gallery and delete the duplicates and distorted photos and all is fine..... until I open iPhoto again then that sync symbol happens and it uploads the photos in that folder under "Web" (which is called Susan) and then I have the doubles and some distorted photos. Oddly when I look in the folder in iPhoto called "susan" under "web" in iphoto there are no duplicates or distorted photos. And it doesn't make duplicates of all of the photos in that "susan" folder under "web" in iphoto, just a few of them.
Take a look at the gallery: http://gallery.me.com/pixiegirl#100025 The problem is in the "pixie, family, friends" album.
In the top row, ""Cay and Ms Pix" is a duplicate and distorted. And the "Chris" pix is a duplicate. How do I make it so it stops update with the distorted pix every time I open iPhoto. And why since in iPhoto none of the pix are distorted or sideways are they distorted in MobileMe? If I delete the folder in iPhoto under "web" will it also delete the photos in MobileMe.
I'd just like to understand what the heck is going on here.
Very confused. Thanks for any ideas.

The rotated pictures usually occur with portrait photos that come from cameras with the auto rotate feature. I've not see landscape photos do that.
Export those two from the top row to the desktop as full size, max quality jpegs and open them in in Safari. Safari does not read the tag which tells applications how to display the photo. If the photos are OK in Safari then you can import them into iPhoto and use them to replace the original two.
As for the duplicates, I don't know. Here are some fixes you can try:
Backup the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select options #1, #2 and #6.

Then launch iPhoto and republish the gallery.
I noticed that may of the photos are of low resolution when enlarged. Are you aware of that?

Geotagging and adding the Picture to Map

I got a 5800xm
Ok, so first lets get to Geo-tagging. I turned it on. Never used this feature before in any of my phones, but considering the time it takes for the phone to get a satellite fix, how does this work on the phone?
And I was wondering if there was a way to add pictures to the maps? Or at least for Landmarks? Can't seem to find the option.
If you find my post helpful please click the green star on the left under the avatar. Thanks.

Hi,
Do I have to add the picture to the cameraroll in order to add it to the AIR apps display list?
Both examples from Adobe claim that their examples work. Do they not?
In the example, the event handler asyncImageLoaded is never called. The output text field shows - result_txt.text = "Asynchronous media promise."; So the Event.COMPLETE is being added. But I don't think it's being dispatched.
Any ideas?

The photos is question don't show up in the Last Import smart album?

I want to burn a DVD and keep the pictures in the files

I am using iPhoto 8. I have 46 albums that I created for one vacation. I have organized all of the pictures from 5 cameras and want to burn a DVD keeping the pictures in those albums so others can create a slideshow from them. When I burned a DVD the files did not show up, so all of the work was for nothing. How can I burn the DVD and keep the files intact so other people do not need to do the same work that I have already completed?

As Terence mentioned for those with Macs and iPhoto select the albums you've created and use the Share ➙ Burn menu option. This will create a mini library on the disk that others can view in iPhoto and run slideshows from the photos in the album or copy those albums into their library for more control.

IPhoto and finder file structure

Hi everyone,
How can I make iPhoto use the file structure of Finder?
I understand the concept of "rolls" and the download from your camera is a new roll and these end up in your originals folder as well.
So in the course of a vacation I could have been in 5 cities and want to create albums of these. Is there a way to make the album show in finder? I tried to make a folder but you can't drag pictures into a folder. At least I couldn't.
I'm just trying to simplify life a little when I'm not using iPhoto and need a picture. Hope there is a setting to save stuff in folders outside if iPhoto.

RonsMac:
First, delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that's in your User/Library/Preferences folder. If that doesn't help the try the following:
NOTE: When you use BatChmod there's no indication of the process working after you enter your admin password except when it's done you get hit up for a donaton. Those settings I suggested can also be applied to your User (home) folder. I've done it several times. But only on your home folder!
Have you run Disk Utility and verified the hard drive? If no do so and see if it indicates that some repairs are necessary. It it does, boot into your system install disk, open Disk Utility from the Utilities menu in the first window after the language select window. Repair the disk and reboot.
If you have another account on the Mac, log into it and see if you can get iPHoto to export OK. If not, then I'd do the following:
1 - reapply the 10.4.10 COMBO updater.
2 - run the Quicktime 7.2 updater
3 - reinstall iPhoto (when you reinstall iPhoto you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder).
If iPhoto exports OK in the other account then there's something in your primary account that is the culprit. One test is to determine if there's another preference file that's affecting iPhoto. Here's how to run the test:
Trouble Shooting Preferences
Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Preferences folder (in its entirety) to the Desktop and make a second copy of it so you have Copy A and B. Now try the the process again and determine if problem is fixed.
If the problem IS fixed, then go to the new Prefs folder that the OS will have created and open it up.
Open Copy B on the Desktop and select all of the items inside. Drag them into the open new library folder. When the Copy window comes up check the Apply to All check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here. That will keep the new files created and bring back all of the others.
If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the intact Copy A folder back to the Library folder .

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Setting up and running iPhoto and Aperture together.

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to use iPhoto as my main image library. I want to be able to import pictures from my camera straight to iPhoto. But i would like to also have it set up to be able to edit pictures in Aperture but save them back into iPhoto.
Basically i would like to have my library contained in iPhoto but edit pictures using Aperture. Also if there is anyway to get this same setup using Adobe Lightroom.
I just really love the speed you get from iPhoto, But I love the feature set from Aperture and Lightroom.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Here is something I tried when I downloaded the trial version of Aperture 3.
I had a picture in iPhoto that I liked but had a blemish that spoiled it. The blemish was a dark black line at the top margin. Nothing I tried using the retouch tool in iPhoto removed the blemish. So one of the first experiments I made was to move this particular photo into Aperture 3 and use the retouch tool there. The blemish was gone in one swipe.
Next I dragged the photo to the desktop, then opened iPhoto and dragged the picture into "Events" and finally into the specific event it belonged to. The Aperture edit held.
Is this not one way to use the two together? I cannot retest the process because my trial download has long since expired. I didn't have time to really get to know Aperture in the trial period and so have not bought it.
Further, I recently Googled "integrating iPhoto + Aperture" and found this:
+iPhoto - Because of the availability of options for books, cards, and calendar templates, you might want to use your Aperture pictures in iPhoto. To access the images from your Aperture Library within iPhoto, click on File > Show Aperture Library. When the window opens, you can browse, select and drag the images you want to use in iPhoto.+
+The tight integration of all Apple software, and even with some other 3rd-party applications, makes it possible to make the most out of your photos in Aperture.+
Again, because I don't have Aperture 3, I can't test this process. But I thought it suggested a fairly simple way to do what I want to do. Has anyone tried this?
(PS. I am interested in Aperture because I shoot exclusively in RAW.)

After adding 5 pictures the file size is 10x bigger

Hello,
I designed a web site and added 7 pictures (all together 800kb) with layer stack and blending options.
The svg file was 320kb now it' apx. 6mb ...
how to get the file smaller?
Greetings

You can scale down images to make the file sizes lighter.
Are you using the Clipping Frame (Insert > Media Objects > Clipping Frame) to add images to your file? If so, follow these steps to resize an image. If you are just working with an image in the workspace, without the clipping frames, just use steps 5 and 6 to downsample an image.
1. Double-click on a clipping frame image to enter into editing mode. The percentage indicator on the sliding magnification bar will tell you if the source image is large (12% is a very large image!).
2. Ensure the image is selected and click the Copy button.
3. Exit image editing mode by returning to the Sheet level by clicking in the document breadcrumb.
4. Paste the image into the document. It will be very big on the stage.
5. Scale down the down to a smaller size by grabbing a corner handle and scaling the image, or using Transform and adjusting the WIDTH AND HEIGHT percentages. (Conveniently, if you input 12% into the Width or Height box (while keeping the Lock Aspect Ratio option selected) the image scales down to the same size as the clipping frame you were using previously.)
6. Double-click the image again to enter into Bitmap Image mode and select Transform > Downsample to Screen.
7. Select the image and click the Copy button, then delete the image from the stage.
8. Double-click to get back into your clipping frame.
9. Select the image already in the frame, and delete it.
10. Click the Paste button to insert the new image into the clipping frame. It should display a better percentage such as 98 or 100%.
11. Save the file. You should find the file size to be much smaller now.
OK, looking over that now it is quite the list of things to do to optimize images for the screen. Hopefully there will be an easier way to downsample or optimize images for screen and print in the next coming releases.

I created an album in iPhoto and every time I click on slideshow it plays the pictures backwards from the order in the album. How do I change that?

I created an album in iPhoto and every time I click on slideshow it plays the pictures backwards from the order in the album. How do I change that?

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.

Why don't pictures from a slideshow made in iPhoto and then burned on to a DVD in iDVD not use the full screen?

Why don't pictures from a slideshow made in iPhoto and then burned on to a DVD in iDVD not use the full screen?

All I want to do is send my family the pictures for them to be able to see them on most dvds and use manually control.
If you want set top DVD player playback, I suggest you create a a series of slideshows IN iDVD that each contain a MAXIMUM of 99 images. Do not create the slideshow in iPhoto or iMovie.
Is there an easier way to do this, bypassing iDVD?
Some DVD players will play a disc containing jpeg images

Random sequential groups of photos missing from Events and iPhoto Slideshow but are in an Album. How do I recover or copy photos back to Events and rebuild slideshow?

Random sequential groups of photos missing from Events, an Album I created, and a slideshow using the photos. This "appears" to have happened when upgrading to Yosemite. When I use iPhoto Library Manager, I see two entries for the Event Information for the date in question, same name, same number of photos, but different sizes. The smaller has the image number but no photo for the given date; the larger has the photos.
Image path for the version with all photos: /Volumes/Promise Pegasus/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Previews/2010/2010_05_24/IMG_0697.jpg
Image path for the version with missing photos: /Volumes/Promise Pegasus/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Previews/2010/2010_05_24_2/IMG_0697.jpg (NOTE the _2 added to the image number.)
I assume that I have to get the missing pictures back in Events so I can reload back into the Album. Hopefully, the slideshow will magically be better.

HT1229 Tried moving my library to an external hard drive and now when I open iPhoto, there are no pictures there!!!!

I am using iPhoto '08 and moved my library to my external hard drive exactly as all the instructions online explained how to do. I renamed the original "iPhoto Library.old" and ,y external hard drive shows a iPhoto library using the same amount of memory as what it shows on my internal hard drive. Here is where is becomes a problem. When I hold the option key and open iPhoto, the only box that comes up does not give me a list of libraries to choose from. It give me the option to "Create new library" or "choose existing library". When I click "choose existing library" I can find the copied library on my external hard drive but when I open it, iPhoto shows No Photos. When I have tried opening the original iPhoto Library (the exact same way using the option key and choosing library) that I have not done anything to, except rename it, it does the exact same thing: No Photos. Both my internal and external hard drives show about 137 GB of space being taken up by photos but I can't access them. My other big problem is that ,y internal hard drive is completely full, which is why I am trying to transfer them to an external, to free up space so I am very limited on what I can do because I have no free space. Also, when I open iPhoto and try to go to the Preferences to change to path under advanced settings, it freezes and I have to force close it.
Ay advice would be greatly appreciated as I am getting stressed out that I can't open my thousands of photos!

My guess is that the library has been corrupted from being run on an overfull HD.
So, try rebuild the Library on the External
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
