Iphoto save instant slide show

I created a book in iPhoto with a specific theme, titles, photos etc. The "instant slideshow" that I can play while selecting the book under "Projects" takes all the specifics from my book and puts them into a slideshow format that I would like to save. I am unable to find a way of doing this.
In reasearching online, I have found suggestions of selecting the book and then creating a new slideshow based on it. However, while that keeps the actual photos, it does not retain the theme, placement, titles etc. Since I have spent a good deal of time creating this book, I don't want to re-create it again just so I can have a slideshow/soft-copy version of it.
How can I save the instant slideshow that is based on my book?

It can be done but it's more than a one step process. First go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
Next go into the book and start a print process:
1 - go to the View All Pages mode in the book.
2 - type Command+P to start the print process.
3 - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
4 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered and 200 for slideshows, etc.).
5 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto.
6 - immediately rename the images in order with the Batch Change ➙ Title to Text ➙ Page with Append checked. This will let you keep the pages in order if they get mixed up for any reason as their original titles are really weird and not in any order.
6 - select the images of the book and create a slideshow. You can set the theme and transition and add music to it if so desired. This demo page has such a book converted to an iWeb slideshow. It will give you an idea what the page images will look like: iPhoto Book as an iWeb Slideshow
Note: I use this method to create an iDVD slideshow of each book I create and give as a gift. This allows several viewers to view the book at one time on a TV set. iP05 - Creating an iDVD Slideshow From an iPhoto Book

Instant Slide Show resetting

When I start a slide show for a new album it requires me to set theme, music and settings. Even though I do NOT check the box "use as default settings" on any of these tabs, when I hit the play button for an instant slideshow on any album where I have previously played an instant slide show, it reverts back to and starts immediately playing using the prior settings. What am I doing wrong?

It can be done but it's more than a one step process. First go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:

I have lightroom 5.7. Now I have apple TV to connect my Mac to the TV scree. I wish to do a slide show on the TV. However, on the Mac, using ITunes to share photos with the TV, I cannot locate all photo files. What is the best way to save the slide show and put it where the Mac sharing can find it? So far, I made on one folder in Lightroom, put some photos there and I found them easily. Can this be done with a slide show? Please help quickly! Also worried that the photos I put on the new folder are hard to find afterwards, when the show is done. Where do they go when I delete from from the new folder?I am not alone

Not that I'm aware of. You just export JPEG copies to a folder that you can point iTunes to. For instance, I have created a folder in my Pictures folder called Apple TV. And within that folder I have other folders of pictures that I can choose from in iTunes to share with Apple TV. But there doesn't seem to be any way to share a Lightroom slideshow. If you have laid to create a video file that would probably work. Apple TV is a little clunky in my opinion. Some things are a little more difficult to do now than they were a while back. I probably haven't provided you with much help, but just keep experimenting and I think you will figure it out.

IPhoto 6.0 slide shows looks very distorted

I have a new 19'' widescreen TFT monitor on my mini mac and now my iPhoto 6.0 slide shows looks very distorted.
This widescreen TFT have a 16:9 aspect ratio (1440x900 pixel).
I found no setting in iPhoto for the screen with an 16:9 aspect ratio. There are only format settings for 16:10, iDVD or act monitor. But no one works fine!
Is there any possibility that I can show my "slide shows" in the correct format? (Also with black bars)
Can anyone help me fix this problem?
Thanks in advance

I am experiencing a very similar problem. Michael, have you solved your issue yet?
With my setup (PowerMac Dual G4 533 MHz with an NVIDIA GeForce2 MX graphics card, and Gateway FPD2185W monitor, native display resolution 1680 x 1050), iPhoto slideshows show pictures off center (taking up the right 2/3 of the display and leaving the left blank). The entire picture is also not visible. I'm sure it is switching resolutions when doing the slideshow since when I stop the show, some of my apps are in different positions on the display. I have tried switching stuff in the preferences, as well as trashing my old iPhoto prefs file. Nothing worked.
Thanks in advance for any insights!

BridgeCS3 -How to save a Slide Show?

Is there any way to save a slide show made in Bridge CS3. I need to use Bridge's Revolving Door transition. I cannot find a similar transition in any other software that supports slideshows. Perhaps someone knows of a script or an action that simulates the Revolving Door transition. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thanks.

I can't figure out how to save one either. One person said it could be exported to a pdf file, but if he knows how to do that, he should tell someone. There is certainly no menu option for it.

Need Basic advice on save format & slide show project

I have started a project to scan and save approximately 5,000 color slides and 5,000 plus Photos of Family and Friends over a 50 year period.
My goal is to use Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 to edit and save files to hard drive and then use PSE 9 to Organize, add tags etc.
and then produce slide shows to view primarily on big screen (52 inch plus) HDTV sets.
The equipment I will be using 1ncludes: 1. Epson Perfection V600 Photo Flatbed Scanner
2. Nikon Cool Scan IV Slide & Film Scanner
3. Dell XPS 8300, Intel i7 3.4ghz processor, 12.0gb installed memory, 2 each 1tb hard drives.
4. Windows 7 OS
I have been working on scanning and saving pictures for over 2 months and the deeper I get into this project the more questions arise.
I am looking for advise now rather than later so I won't have to re-do hours of work later. I have visited Forums and viewed all the Tutorials I could find for help.
Some things I don't entirely understand and really need help and advice on are: 1. What is the best sequence of workflow?
2. What format, size and resolution would be best to" save as" for my purpose?
I see no need to save in high quality PSD if I am not going to Print Photos later?
3. Should I do re-sizing to 1500pi X 1000pi (Or ??) during the initial edit or later in Organizer?
I have been cropping and saving photos in a multitude of sizes and resolutions.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I have a lot to learn. Thanks, Donald

There will be lots of opinions and your mileage will vary. Get the book ScanTips - www.scantips.com. It da bomb
I had a similar Epson flatbed and number and my workflow was like this:
* Use the Epson scan software
* Set to 2400 bpi and save to TIFF (I now wish I had saved most to high quality JPEG. Sigh).
* Use Digital Ice where it mattered (Ektachrome) and not where it didn't (Kodachrome)
* Organize belt and suspenders -- directories (and Organizer tags) identical to the date stamp on the slide. It will help you a lot when you correct the EXIF date later and if you ever want to find the slide again in the tray or a more compact box storage (I threw away a lot of trays)
* Expose the slides to air as little as possible. I found it better to go direct from carousel to scanner with only enough time to dust carefully and orient
(it takes less time to throw away losers on the scanner display than on a viewer box)
* Throw away the loser
* Start with a stack and as I lay them on the flatbed, dust carefully. I used an old-fashioned StaticMaster - saved lots of time versus a blower brush
* Learn the histogram on the scanner software. It does a good job on bottom and top values but the mid-tones almost always benefit and it will save you oodles of time
* set the correct date (as close as you can) in your organizing software
* If I cropped, it was to a 12x9 ratio (good for prints and not bad for conventional TV)
* I found Microsoft Photo Story 3 did a nice job and handled resolution and cropping fine.

Screen Saver Photo Slide Show...

...Hello... This used to work but for some reason it doesn't any more. Whenever I go to the screen saver preferences and choose a folder full of pictures to use as a photo slide show screen saver, it says 'folder contains no pictures'. However, is DOES contain pictures but won't recognize them. All the other screen saver features work besides this one. I tried to download and install some screensaver a while back and it hasn't worked since then... Any ideas? Thanks =)

IPhoto books and slide shows vs. iMovie

I have put an iBook together and it looks great. To play it in a slide show with text and titles is wonderful. The problem is that I cheated. I fooled iBook into making double trucks (two page spreads) of some of my photos...Looks great in book form but plays as left page/right page in a slide show. Not good. I could just make a slide show from a folder...But then I get no text page or title page. If I make an iMovie of my images, they look soft (out of focus) and I am limited in the amount of text I can output. If there is a way to get print into the iPhoto slide show, I would be happy. Any ideas?

If you had iDVD on an older Applications DVD disc that came with an older Mac install that and then make sure you use Software Update before you try to start the program. You could also try doing software update now and see if any newer upgrades/updates are available.
I suspect what they transfered is an older version that will not run on the new OS X. Once updated/upgraded to a newer version it will work.
But then you may need to do a reinstall first.

Is it possible to save a slide show in Elements 11 Organiser to a USB and show on TV?

I took the pics in the highest quality with a great camera but when I make a slide show and put it on to a USB for viewing on the TV the quality is poor. How do I fix this. I have many many photos that I wish to view on the TV and would like to know the best way of doing this. Any help would be super.
We have numerous TV's including a smart TV if this helps at all.
Cheers

by default they are saved in the iPhoto library and show in the source pane on the left
If you want it outside of iPhoto export it

How do I save the "Slide Show" functions when off line ?

I'm working on an interative porfolio (to use off line) using IWeb. But once saved in a folder on my computer, the Slide Show functions (black background, reflection effects, sliding thumbnails, etc.) are not existing (?)
By the way, can anybody tell me about a good (and simple to use !) shareware for editing iteractive slideshows ?
Thanks !

Thanks a lot !
Those links are perfect !
The slideshow effects you mention are only available
when you publish to .Mac.
It is possible to enhance the slideshow you get when
you publish to a folder, but you need the help of
third-party expertise. Your first port of call should

I have elements 6. What is best way to save a slide show to a CD/DVD with the best quality?

I have Photoshop Elements 6. What is the best way to save a slideshow to send by email or on CD/DVD and still get the best quality.
I save as a project and then email and when you open and play the slideshow the pictures are not clear.

Save a slide show so it plays from a dvd on regular tv

I want to know the quickest method for creating a slideshow in aperture, with music and then saving it in a format that can be burned to a dvd and played on a standard dvd player on regular tv

You can create Slideshows directly in Aperture; there are several predefined themes. Arrange the images in the Time Line, drag music from the Media Browser into the timeline, press the "export" button and render a movie (this step will take some time - be prepared to wait for an hour or longer, if the slideshow has many effects). See this section in the Aperture User Manual on how to create Slideshows (Creating Slideshow Presentations).
You can play the exported movie on your mac, but to burn a video DVD to be viewed in a video player, you will need additional software, for example iDVD or Toast, see this User Tip by Karsten Schlüter:

This is my first time using iphoto, I am trying to make a slide show that I can then burn to a dvd. The slide show is complete, but I'm not sure where to go now. Can I burn the slide show from iphoto or do I have to export to imovie or idvd?

I have completed the slide show i am making, but not sure what to do now. I want to burn it to a dvd, but not sure if i can do that from iphoto or do i need to export to imovie or idvd? If i need to export, will iphoto save a copy in iphoto? This may be really stupid, but I don't see an obvious way to save my slide show in iphoto. Please Help!

Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
NOTE: If you're running iPhoto 9.5 the export options will be different.

Exporting slide show from iPhoto to QT raises contrast and darkens images?

I have been using iPhoto to create slide shows (with transitions) which I then save as QuickTime (.mov) files. I add soundtracks to the QT.mov file in QuickTime Pro and burn the finished slide show to CD's for my friends and coworkers.
The original photographic image files come from several sources; mostly a digital camera, but often scanned color slides (from the dim, distant past). All of the images have been (painstakingly!) corrected in PhotoShop, and saved as finished size Jpeg files.
When I import the images into iPhoto, edit and arrange them in a folder and preview the show as a slideshow in iPhoto, the images still look perfect.
When I save the show by exporting it to QuickTime, all of the images get darkened and the image contrast increased.
This is making me nuts.
To quantify the unwanted "enhancement" that iPhoto seems to be applying to my images, I experimented in PhotoShop; I can make the original (correct) image match the "QT enhanced" image by decreasing the "Lightness" slider by -8 to -12, and increasing the "Contrast" slider by +11 (in whatever units PhotoShop sliders are calibrated).
The resulting change in the images is infuriating: the darkening increases the color saturation and blocks up the shadow details so that many images are unusable.. black skin tones, for example, become a dark red/brown color with an unnatural gradation from light to dark.
Further experimentation using IDVD and QuickTime slide shows (without transitions) made from sequencial files directly in QT seem to indicate that the problem is not in QuickTime itself, but rather in the transition from iPhoto to QuickTime when I export the finished folder as a slide show.
It seems like iPhoto is "enhancing" or "tweaking" the images as it exports them to QuickTime: It adds contrast and reduces brightness, both of which might serve to add "snappiness" to a lot of generic snapshots that people shoot, but my images have already been fixed (thank you) and really don't need anyone's generic "tweak"
Does anyone know what it's doing, and more importantly to me, how do I turn the damned thing off?
G5 dual 2.3Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6) Terabytes of disc space.

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).

HT2178 I do not have sound on my computer. It was fine last night but when my husband turned it on this morning, there was now sound. Also My iPhoto shuts down when I try to run a slide show. I have just had my computer for 2 1/2 weeks.

I had sound on my computer last night but when turning on this morning there was no sound. It is not muted. Any suggestions. Also, when I try to run an event in IPhoto as a slide show, it shuts down.

Just to clarify, does iPhoto unexpectedly quit or does your computer shut down? For the sound problem, try here:
