IPhoto slideshow background color

Is there a way to change the background color in a Slideshow on iPhoto? It is currently black, and I would much rather have white.
Thank you!

No. But you can if you use some of the 3rd party slideshow applications. One, PhotoPresenter, can change it as well as offering over 25 animated themes. At $8 it's a bargain.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Slideshow background color

Can I change the background color (from black) for a slideshow created in iPhoto '11 ? Just want to make sure I'm not missing something before I purchase Aperture (where that option is available).
Thanks

IDVD Slideshow Background color change

I am working on a project where i have a slideshow that i want to have on my DVD. I have looked at all of the settings for iDVD and i have not see how to change the black default color of the background for the slideshow images. I would like to make it white vs black. I tried to make a slideshow in iPhoto and the some situation is there, no preference to change the slideshow's bg color. Is there anyone that had or knows how to change this preference. Thanks

Slideshow background color, way ugly

Hello,
Way back, when Lightroom still was a beta product I downloaded a copy and
played with it for a while. Then I decided to use it, so I bought a copy of
ver 1.0, went through all updates and now as everybody else I am on 1.41.
My problem is that one of my early experiments with beta still haunts me.
Playing with the Slideshow I created a background, a way ugly background.
And now, years and thousands of photographs later I can not get rid of it.
No matter what I do, if I open LR, select some pictures and hit instant
slideshow my background is still with me.
Yes, I can go the Slideshow panel, unclick the background and everything is
fine. But I have no idea how to save a new setting as a new default.
Maybe I just don't know where to look, but I think I exhausted all the menu
items and mouse clicks.

Iphoto: problem with background color on Calendar. Help!

I have made 4 calendars using iphoto now. The first time I did it, I was able to custom background color the pages, including the bottom half with month and days. Since then, the only page that works for making background color changes is the top page (the border between photos). What am I doing wrong? When I go back to my original calendar (which I saved), I can still change the colors, but it doesn't work on any subsequent calendars. Can someone please advise?
Thanks,
Catherine

Catherine,
you might try to change the "Theme" of your calendar. Not all themes allow to change the background color for the calendar page. For example, the "Colored Paper" theme lets you select the background color for all pages - click the "Layout" button and select a page in the page browser; then select a colored background tile, like this:

Iphoto 9.6.1 how do I leave pix space blank, filled in with background color

I'm making a photo book using iPhoto 9.6.1 How do I leave pix space blank, filled in with background color? I want half the page taken up with a picture and the other half colored in.

There's actually an option to iPhoto Library Manager that makes this all almost work flawlessly (and work well enough for me). With the exception of Photo Albums that the pictures are part of, if you select "Library > Rebuild Library..." and then select "Scavange Orphaned Photos" check box, then it will put all the Photos and Movies into the "Scavanged Photos" album. It matches the modified pictures to their originals. It preserves all the event names and photo groupings. All the meta-data I could spot check it got right (although with 44k pictures, I only checked a few). If you fail to select this option, however, it will find no pictures at all when it goes to rebuild the library (this was true of the small test libraries I tried as well as the big, monster 280GB library I just finished converting). The conversion process took 5 hours to run, but in the end produced a library my new iPhoto can read and that I can interact with. I'll be suggesting to the iPhoto Library Manager folks a notation that would estimate the number of Orphaned Photos and display that number as a hint to the user that the option would be useful.
Edited: Thanks to Old Toad and LarryHN for their help in finding which of the many options to transition this library to 9.5.1 I needed to use. Sorry if I took my frustration of the past several months out on you guys for generously trying to help me.

Contact sheet background color options iPhoto 9.10.1

I just upgraded to OS 10.9.1 and I can't figure out how to choose a black background when printing a contact sheet. In the older version I could select contact sheet and then from the print option at the bottom I could pick a background color, enabling me to print a contact sheet with a black backgound instead of white. Has that option been discarded in OS 10.9.1?

Has that option been discarded in OS 10.9.1?
Yes. Possibly Apple considered offering a black background to be too wastefull of ink., or not.

Discovery: Border color trumps project background color, sort of

I just made an interesting discovery. My project background is set to #FFFFFF white (Edit > Preferences > Defaults > Background color) and my borders are set to the "company" orange (FF7900, REALLY orange). During normal viewing all is okay. However, if there's a lag between a published project ending and another loading, I see this gigantic orange box. Aha! if I disable my borders, I only see white during a loading transition. Apparently the borders are filling in the area during preloading?
I'll submit a feature request. --Leslie

In the Layout menu for two photos per page try selecting one of the top two options. That seemed to give me pink borders every time I selected it.
Do you Twango?

Is there a way to change the WHITE background color of the photo gallery/COLLECTIONS to BLACK. IPad 4 ios 7

As a Professional Photographer, I chose to buy an IPad 4 for only one reason and that was the amazing color and clarity of the Photo Gallery as a mobile Portfolio.
Originally the background color of the IPad 4 Gallery was BLACK and this facilitated the photos greatly, photos look better and stand out better on a BLACK background. White backgrounds cause a glare eminating from the edges of the photo and cause iris in our eyes to close down, degrading the quality of the photo being viewed.
I updated to ios 7 and now my IPad 4 has a WHITE background, which is unacceptable for viewing photos.
HOW DO I CHANGE the WHITE background on the Photo/Gallery/COLLECTIONS to BLACK?
Apple should ALWAYS give USERS/OWNERS of their products control of such details. IT'S JUST GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE!

Vancouver22 Thanks for your help... the SLIDESHOW turned black for me automatically when the slideshow began. That works most excellent!
Now if I can just get the White Background to STAY BLACK, this might not be as painful as I feared.
My IP4 does lag slightly, but not enough to set fire to it yet.
The gallery/COLLECTIONS/ALBUMS are the most important thing to me.
Thanks!

Footer now floating in middle of page and no background color

Hello all,
Been working on this for days with no luck. I hope someone can spot the silly mistake, because I know it has to be something silly but it's driving me round the bend! The page has always been just fine until I recoded part of the body (the four columns with titles, photos, and text) to help with 508 compliance. Since then, the orange footer that was firmly at the bottom has started floating half way up the page and the background orange color has disappeared.
I've gone through my code line by line, marking off each beginning and ending div tag and everything is fine there. Below, is a screenshot of the lower half of the page showing how the footer should look.
Here is a screenshot of how it looks offline right now:
as you can hopefully see, the footer has lost it's orange background and is sitting halfway up the page.
Here is the HTML code:

What I found after taking out the heights from the text areas is that I was left with uneven text column lengths (alternating beige areas). So I created a repeatable jpg with the same alternating beiges and put it as the background of the bodyArea tag. Again, if there is a better way, please let me know!
A repeating background image to 'fake' equal height columns is perfectly ok.
It won't work IF your page is responsive but it isn't so no problem. If it were responsive a better solution would be to take advantage of the css property display: table; and display: table-cell;
In reference to your footer background color not showing I would assume you have floated items within the footer container. If so then you need to clear those floated items which allows the footer container to wrap itself around the floated items inside it.
You would do this by using css - overflow: hidden; - on the parent container which has the floats inside it.

Awkward Background Color

I just got a new MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard installed. (ye~)
I installed iWork '08 and tried Keynote, but I got some problem.
On the editing mode, the background colors(or gradient) of themes look strange.
They're kind of inverted, not exactly though.
The colors look just normal on the slide show mode.
I see a similar problem on Pages, too.
I created a text box and typed in some letters, but I can't see them.
If I drag on the text box, then I can know the letters are there.
Changing font color doesn't work.
Please help.
Thanks.

I had a similar issue running iWork '08 and snow leopard on my macbook. I couldn't see the background unless I was viewing the slideshow. I just ran software update, and made sure everything was updated to the latest, and now it works fine.

Changing default background color in Imovie

How do I change the default mode of the background being black on the sides of a picture in portrait when using Imovie?

It's an excellent resource Karsten - you'll love it. Most people probably assume it's just for presentations, but it has plenty of other uses. I often prepare slides in Keynote for use in an iMovie (or iPhoto) slideshow. Otherwise, you can do the full slideshow in Keynote, using all the animations for titles and transitions between slides. That can also be imported (as a .mov file) to iMovie for further refinement and addition of other media. I use slides with a size of 1280 x 720 - this would suit your method of capturing 720p video for use in iMovie.
You can also add video clips to slides (as many as will fit on a slide). I posted information about this recently in the forum. The poster was wanting to place 2 video clips side-by-side on a black background, with each clip enclosed in a frame - very easily done in Keynote!
Have fun with Keynote (I do).
John
PS. Here's an example of what I just described. There is a video clip in each frame, but not playing of course:

Changing background color in Edit mode?

Is there any way to change the background color in Edit mode. My background is white, very annoying.
Also full screen mode is Black. Also annoying, wish it was dark grey.
Thanks,
Ed

no
suggest to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

Why are photos hiding behind background color on pages?

I am building a large book with over 350 photos as a gift for my 93 year-old father. I've done a number of books in iPhoto and am fairly experienced with the software. After the last system upgrade, this book seemed to be missing over half the photos. Upon closer inspection, I could tell the photos were there but with a colored background in front of them. I have moved and changed photos. Some stick and show; some don't.
When I view the book on All Pages, I can see all the photos are there, albeit very small. However, when I click on a page to work on it, or enlarge the All Pages any, photos start to move behind the background colors and I cannot tell what photo is there. After much work on this last night, I can see all the pages had all the photos showing (in thumbnail view). At last, I thought. Made a PDF version to preview it, but the PDF has colored background in front of half the photos.
I have spent hundreds of hours on this book and wanted to get it to my dad for Christmas (which will be late now) or before he dies . . . I have never encountered this issue on my other equally large books. Did the operating system upgrade cause this to happen?
Please can someone help me? LaVell

I found the black pages to show fingerprints.

Shatter theme background color

I love the shatter theme... Only problem with it is its whie background color. I use this to show slideshow on lcd's in bar and the white kind of lights up the place... way too much.
Is there any way at all to change this? Would be great to go from #ffffff to #000000..

No you can't edit the Slideshow themes.
There are other SIideshow apps that have a variety of themes. Check out PhotoPresenter for instance
