Jagged images in slideshow

After creating a slideshow in iDVD 7.0 and viewing it on my TV (42" Toshiba) I get jagged images.
They seem to loading fine between transitions but as soon as they do the image is jagged.
I used all kinds of different images with different resolution and that doesn't make a difference.
I noticed that when I don't use any transitions and select "none" under transition menu there are no jagged edges, could it be the transition?
Please help this is my second day trying to fix this problem.
Thank you in advance.

I have found similar effects. From a very close look at it (in .img format.. since I don't like to waste media...), it seems that when the slideshow is supposed to stop at the still image, instead it stops one frame into the transition.
so as the picture transition ends, you see the image dissolving and then sharpening to the still photo, then a quick flicker where the resolution decreases, you can see pixilation and sometimes a ghost image of the next image on the still frame.
After I updated using iLife Support 8.2 most of the egregious flickers seen using professional quality encoding went away.. but for a 40-photo slideshow with approximately 5sec viewing (cross dissolve transition on all), about 40% of the images show this still frame overshoot.
if the frame stops at the correct spot/chapter on the actual still photo (and not on the first frame of the transition), the image looks superb, even at full screen mode on a 17" CRT. but when it overshoots it, you see pixiliation, color distortion and sometimes ghost image of the next image.
anyone else noticed this? any thought on fixing this?
I've noticed this starting to happen more obviously in iDVD 06. iDVD 04 didn't have this issue at all, and iDVD 05 had some, but not as bad as '06. '08 was the worst until iLife Support 8.2 came out. encoding in either Al-book or MacPro (1/2008) didn't make any difference other than encoding speed

Change position images in slideshow

Hello,
I am trying to change the position of the images in my slideshow, but I don't know how I can do this.
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks in advance!

You can resize and reposition both the Hero Image container and the Image inside that (by double-clicking the Hero Image).
Although your Hero Image size/position is fixed for all the images in slideshow, you can definitely move/resize the actual images inside individually. See if that helps you get it to work for you in the Slideshow itself.
Else you can always for go the Composition Widget which allows you to place individual target slides in different positions and have different sizes.
Cheers,
Vikas

How do I import images in slideshow with the caption?

I imported images in slideshow. but I have to write down in each field the caption of the image. is it possible to import the caption as well?
thanks for response

Hi
I am afraid, its not possible to import "Captions" within Adobe Muse. You need to manually type in caption for each individual image.

How to replace images in slideshow?

I would like to replace images in slideshow, but I can see only ADD option.

Thanks Parikshit.
Looks the trick would be to turn on Thumbnails, delete the image and turn it off.

Soft images in Slideshow

When I go to view my images in View>Slideshow they are very soft almost blurred. The thumbnails are fine as are the preview images in Bridge.
If I left click on the image in slideshow and zoom on the image it becomes sharp, when I right click to zoom back to full image it becomes blurred again.
This is very annoying as I have used the manual slideshow in CS3 to quickly assess and rate my images with no problems.
What am I doing wrong? Please help

Most of the problems in slide show are realated to the video card or driver. Make sure you have the latest driver installed.
If this does not work in advanced preferences click "use software rendering" and see it that solves problem.

Blank images in slideshow

I have just downloaded iphoto 11. I am able to see thumbnail pictures, but am unable to see images in slideshow. I only see blanks. Anyway round the problem?
Imatong

Are you able to see the full sized images of those photos in the Event or Photos mode? If not what do you see?
If you see just a blank window or this image in the window:
Then try the following:
If you have the space available on your hard drive and don't aready have a backup copy of the library make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Poor quality images on Slideshow

Hello all,
I recently downloaded Aperture from the Mac App store - seemed to good a bargain not to and I was already considering upgrading from iPhoto 08.
I imported all my pictures (along with the captions) into Aperture and created a slideshow from an album. I was quite disappointed to see that the image quality was really poor and very grainy. The photos themselves were fine in the album - but not so in the slideshow.
I thought this may have been down to importing from iPhoto, so I experimented by adding other images directly into Aperture. The same slideshow quality issue arose. I also possess a MacBook Pro and decided to re-perform the steps described above. The images and slideshow are absolutely fine on my MacBook pro.
I wish to maintain my photo library on my main iMac and will be very downhearted if Aperture cannot give me the same picture quality on slideshows that I achieved in iPhoto. Can anyone help me figure out why I'm suffering from poor quality images in slideshows on my iMac?
Thanks in advance,
Simon.

Hi Simon,
Aperture uses the image Preview in Slideshows:
_About Displaying Sharp Images in Slideshows_
To display slideshows at the best quality, you should set Aperture to create high-resolution previews. In addition to setting previews to their highest resolution, you should also use full-size previews to prevent upscaling with large displays. If previews are not available, images in the slideshow may not be as sharp as they would be otherwise. For more information about creating high-resolution previews, see Working with Preview Images.
From the [User Manual|http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter=21%26se ction=2]
What size Previews do you have?

Frequently Asked Questions

Can't fix jagged images and horizontal lines when scanning

Hello, I just bought the HP Envy 5660 and it prints fine but scanning is horrible. I keep getting jagged and horizontal lines after scanning. They came out fine a few times but even on 300 ppi it looks bad. Please give me some advice. Thank you.

Hello Hulkamania,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having some issues with the scan quality with lines and jagged images.
I have seen this issue before and I was able to resolve it quit easily by doing one simple step.
Please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
Use the ON/OFF button to do a proper power cycle on the printer once it has been connected to a wall outlet. This will do a Semi Power reset on the printer.
Try another scan and let me know how it turns out. Try multiple scans if you like.
Thanks for your time.

I want to publish slideshow to youtube; every time I export all I see are original images, no slideshow

I want to publish slideshow to youtube; everytime I export all I see are original images, no slideshow. I am missing a step here but where?

Did you press the Export button in the slideshow Album

IPhoto rotates images in slideshow even though the thumbnail for that images has the correct orientation.

This problem seems bizarre to me considering iPhoto 11 has worked with out a hitch since I upgraded from 09 ages ago. The photos in my album suddenly changed orientation from landscape to portrait and vice versa and sometimes upside down. I first notice this problem after I tried to click and drag a large number of photos directly from iPhoto to Finder. I did a Command-A to highlight all the photos from my album and tried to drag them to a folder in Finder. There are 34,000 photo in this album but only half were copied, (I guess 34,000 items is too much for Lion to copy all at once). I tried fixing this orientation problem by highlighting all affected photos and selecting "Revert to Original" which fixed the orientation of the thumbnails. But when you double click on a thumbnail to view the pictures or view the album in a slideshow, some of the pictures still have the incorrect orientation but most were corrected. Also if I double click on an affected photos to edit it with iPhoto image editor the image suddenly orientates itself correctly. Then as soon as I close the image editor and view the photo or start a slide show it's displayed with the incorrect orientation again. How is that possible that all my thumbnails are orientated properly but when I view the photo it's rotated sideways or sometimes rotated upside down? Any help or insight to my problem would be much appreciated.

Revereting to original will not fix the problem. When you invoke that menu option iPhoto will read the file again, see the tag that tells it to rotate the file and will rerotate it.
The most reliable way to fix this is to rotate those file before they are imported into iPhoto. Upload from the camera to a folder on the Desktop, rotate those that need rotating, rename if desired and import. I use Xee for that because it can rotate the file losslessly.

How do I edit image viewer slideshow created in CS3, in CS4?

I apologize for posting this twice...once in a previous post and once here. The reason being...the other post was old (2008) and I'm afraid it might get overlooked. So I thought I'd create a new discussion.
I created a bunch of slideshows in CS3 using Insert - Media - Image Viewer. I was looking for an easy way for my client to update the site themselves. Even though it creates a Flash element, it is easy for them to go in and switch out the images. All they do is click on the slideshow box, hit Window - Tag Inspector and click on the little folder at the side of the Image URLs' line. Nothing could be simpler. Well...I went in to see my client to show her how to do this but she has CS4. When I tried to do the same thing, nothing looked the same. The tag inspector did not have the same elements in it at all. Does this mean she cannot edit the slideshows I have created? Ugh...
If anyone can help with a work around to this...I'd be very grateful!
Thanks.
Pam

Thanks for your reply via e-mail David. I tried to reply but it's a no reply address so I'm posting here:
Do you happen to know if my client who has CS4 would be able to open the slideshows I created in CS3 using the method mentioned here:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Bridge/3.0/WSCF044571-2772-4d28-9EBD-2C9F46AF008A.html
Not having CS4, I can't even play around with it to see. Or will the slideshows have to be recreated in CS4? Has my work in CS3 over the months gone to waste in other words?
Alternatively, would it be better for us both to purchase a $29 Dreamweaver extension such as the one below, so we could both access the slideshow from CS3 and CS4 at the same time?
http://www.dwuser.com/flashslideshow/v3/
I need to keep building the new site using the slideshows while she maintains the old site (no slideshows) until we upload the new site this summer. I don't want to continue building slideshows she cannot access.
Thanks a lot for your help!

Black (blank) images in slideshow

Hi All.
Bit of a newbie here.
I have selected a group of images (each thumbnail shows an image) and when I create a slideshow there are numerous images that show up blank.
Is there anything i can do about this?
If I hit the spacebar they also show up as blank even though there is a thumbnail image.
I am accessing the iPhoto database off an external hd due to size limitations on my laptop.
Thanks in advance!

I've got an iomega 500GB drive connected with two usb connections (I guess this helps with power?).
Yep it needs more power than a single USB connection can provide, so one connection is the data connection, the other just takes power from the computer. Not all USB drives are like this. Just the way that one was made / the type of drive inside the enclosure.
It looks like I have 70 KB available (I know) on the external.
Eek. This is issue #1.
Is there a way to check it?!
Boot to the install disk for your computer and use Disk Utility to check and see how Available space it thinks you have: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
Also, can I please ask you if there is a sort of "due diligence" maintenance (other than leaving enough room for the library, not disconnecting the external without ejecting it and backing it up) that I need to do for iPhoto?
Not really. Just keep regular backups and even multiple backups of the library.
If you have now freed up space on your external drive and the issue is still happening, follow this article and rebuild your iPhoto Library checking off the bottom 3 options: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638

How to get crisp jpeg images for slideshow on a Mac with Final Cut?

Hi, I imported a large number of jpegs into Final Cut Pro and when I export to Quicktime Movie (not modifying the sequence size or settings I notice the quality of the jpeg images looks rather washed out and a bit fuzzy. The image dimensions of the jpegs are actually 2848 x 4272 and I was originally using a sequence setting of 720 by 480 (which scaled the images to about 12%). I experimented with doubling the sequence setting to 1440 by 960 and scaled the images to about 25.5% - still a bit washed out look.
Basically this will be a presentation on a computer and output via projection. Looking for best possible and clearest photos. I experimented with iPhoto and when you play a slideshow it looks very crisp - this is what I am aiming for. When I export using the Slideshow export at the largest size 640 by 480 in iPhoto to quicktime - the quality seriously deteriorates.
What would be the best way to maintain the crispness of the photos in Final Cut for an export to Quicktime that would be show on a Mac via a projector? Thank you

Hi Nick, I do see information on creating a slideshow with Quicktime at: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/slideshow.html
however it appears Quicktime X removed that capability. There is no 'open image sequence' option from the File menu in Quicktime X.
If I do end up sticking with Final Cut - would you recommend any codec and/or dimension size that would result in the best quality or the most crisp image? I also need a few fade in's and out's on various parts - I don't believe I would have the control without Final Cut.
Would resizing the image files in Photoshop to 1920 pixels by 1280 before importing them into Final Cut result in crisper images? Thanks.
