Lightroom Slide Show

I do all the web work for our SCI chapter members. I use Lightroom for all the photos I get and put them up on the web. Most all the members love the slide shows I do with Lightroom.
My question is: I get photos is all sizes, either in JPG or Raw, what is the best size to start with so I do not lose any photo quality?
Do I resize them down to 200K, 100K or keep them at 1250K or larger. The major problem with the Lightroom Slide show is that when you export it to the web site it has four folders of photos. Large, Med, Small and Thumb. There are sometimes I do 50 to 200 photos at a time. That is a lot of Mb uploaded to the server. Any way to get around this problem.
Thanks,
Mike J S

Post-Script:
I am fairly well versed in Lightroom though it is entirely possible that color labels and flag status can be added to a slide show template through some means unknown to me. With that said, I am open to being educated should someone know how to do it... feel free to educate me (-:

LightRoom Slide Show Pro

Having difficulty with inserting a SWF created by Light Room - Flash Gallery; I used the Slide Show Pro pluging and exported the Album to a folder. I tried insert>media>swf> and selected each of the swf files in the folder but none of them would play.
I have previously uploaded the SSP folder directly into a folder on my site and it works fine there. Dreamweaver just doesn't seem to invoke the slide show with the method I've been attempting.

Displaying the file name in a slide show?

In a Lightroom slide show, how do I display the filename with each image?

In the Slide Show Module, below the image, in the toolbar click on <ABC>, and then on the small double triangle. In the fly-out menu select <filename>.
See screen shot:
You can adjust the location and size of the text. Click directly on the text to make the bounding box visible. Then drag to wherever you want the text, and/or resize the box to size the text.
While the bounding box is visible, the <Text Overlays> panel on the right side is activated. In it you can choose a different color for the text, and also a different font, font size, etc.

Slide show import - Elements 8 to LR3?

I have an older slide show that was made in Photoshop Elements 8. It was also output to my hard drive as a PDF file. I want to know if there is any possibility, or anyway, other than to remake from scratch, of "upgrading" this to Lightroom as a Lightroom slide show. Thanks.

You will need to remake the slideshow.
Thanks dj_paige and Ian. I was thinking that would be the answer, but I had to ask the question, you know, just in case...
Its a one shot effort, so I will keep it in Elements.

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.

Lightroom 5.7 slide show crashing

I just moved Lightroom 5.7 to an I mac retina. Overtime I try to use the slide show module, it preps the slide show, then crashes once it begins the show. It was working well on my old iMac 27 in. Any suggestions? Running latest Yosemite operating system and 32 gigs RAM. Also noticed the slow processing speed in develop mode which I saw reported in other posts.
Thanks

Adding sequential numbers to a slide show using Lightroom 4.4?

How do you add sequential numbers to a slide show using Lightroom 4.4? I want images to show sequentially with each having a specific number such as 1 of 25, 2 of 25, 3 of 25 and so on. Please advise.

Sorry, that computer is not connected to the internet right now- husband is using wifi to watch World Cup. Here's a picture from my phone. If it's too hard to read I can take a screen shot in an hour or so.
Thank you both in advance for your help.

Lightroom 3.6 Slide Show auto-advance

I just got a new computer and use Lightroom 3.6. Now when I make a slide show and save it as a PDF it won't auto-advance to the next slide when running. When I review it in Lightroom it auto-advances fine but when I run the PDF file it sticks on the first slide and must be advanced manually. I believe I'm running the latest version of Adobe Reader as I just downloaded it last week when I got my new computer. Can someone explain how to get the auto-advance feature running like it did on my old computer? Thanks.

I don't use the slideshow module very often. But I just quickly created a small slideshow. In my little test the images did not auto-advance until I went into full-screen mode. Then it worked just fine. Also, make sure you haven't checked "Manual Slideshow" in your options.

Adding music to a slide show in Lightroom 5

I have created a slideshow with Lightroom 5 that has 807 photos. The duration of the slide show is 1 hour, 33 minutes. When I try to add music in LR 5, it will allow only one song. How do I add music that will cover the entire slide show?

Lightroom only allows for one music file. If you want a longer file, you'll have to splice together your music files in another application (such as Audition) and use that larger file in Lightroom.

What is problem with Lightroom 5 slide show??

This is a repeat question since it is impossible to get an answer from Adobe. Possibly THE worst technical support of any product I have ever purchased!! I upgraded to LR 5. The slide show does not work. I only get a black screen while the slides advance. This was not a problem with LR4. My saved slide shows do not work and new ones created in LR 5 don't work. Adobe gave some ridiculous answer about the name of the files with some sort of ID in them. The answer made no sense. I have changed nothing in my OS or my file structure. Some people are experiencing this problem since there were several people posting the same issue. Why can't we get a timely and credible answer from Adobe on this problem? Anybody have a solution? I went back to LR 4 and no issue with the saved slide shows. Help please!! LR 5.4 upgrade did not fix the problem either.
Come on Adobe fix your very expensive software product that I paid cash for!!
Thank you!
MAC OS 10.7.5

I posted this 8 months ago with NO responses. Incompatibility of Lightroom 5 and Mac OS 10.7.5 on a MacPro. I bought Lightroom last week and struggled to get a slideshow to be exported. After many hours of testing I have concluded that the slideshow export delivers blank slides and blank video (though audio comes through) EXCEPT that the picture shows up during the transition ONLY. Please correct this problem. The problem does NOT occur on my MacBook Air with OS 10.8.5
I saw Rob Cole's suggestion: what can be corrected in either the monitor profile or video driver?

Lightroom 3 Slide Show Quality Issues Anyone?

I am experiencing slideshow quality issues with LR 3.2 using Canon 5D MKII 21 Mp RAW files. My Canon Digital Rebel 6 Mp RAW files produced high-quality slideshow PDFs using LR1 and LR2. The 5DMKII RAW files produce soft PDF imaging, regardless of preview rendering or slide show export settings in LR3, and I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING! I then went back and tried doing a LR3.2 slideshow PDF with my Digital Rebel 6Mp files and they are much higher resolution, regardless of the settings in LR 3.2 – The exact opposite of my 5DMKII slideshows. Go figure, the 6Mp images are superior in LR 3 slideshow than the 21Mp 5DMKII images!
I developed a simple work around that improves the quality of slideshow PDFs when using larger Mpixel file images:
1)      Select the images you want use for your slideshow and export them to JPEG, sRGB, 80-100% Quality, Resize to fit: 1536 x 1024 Resolution, NO Output Sharpening
2)      Import the 1536 x 1024 JPEG files and place them into a collection, sort their order, and add caption or title information if needed.
3)      Open the collection in Slideshow Module and select a template you like, or create your own custom template.
4)      Play the slideshow and let it create previews when prompted. Adjust slideshow template settings until happy with the layout.
5)      When finished with the slide show template, save as it as a ‘New Template’ for future use.
6)      Next select ‘Export PDF Slideshow,’ Quality 80-100, Width 1600, Height 1200, and Save.
7)      View the slideshow ‘Full Screen’ in PDF reader. It should have much higher resolution than normal slideshow export when using > 8 Mp files.
It takes a few extra steps, but not much additional time to create slideshows using this method.
Adobe must be aware of this problem, and probably does not apply sharpening to files >8Mp for PDF slideshow export to correct for over sharpening of Portrait images. This is just a guess! If you export RAW images to full size JPEGs and use these JPEG files to create a PDF slideshow, the Portrait images will look over-sharpened in Adobe reader! Using my work around process, the landscape and portrait images appear fairly uniform in sharpness, even though the portrait images are 2/3 the resolution of the portrait images ( 1024 x 683 versus 1536 x 1024). This is one of the issues Adobe needs to correct with the Slideshow Module PDF Export program module.
That must be hard to do! Let’s see, who is the developer of Acrobat and PDF format…Oh I forgot it’s ADOBE! As a 45-year veteran of the computer technology industry I've seen worse things, but this is very disappointing when you consider Lightroom is now a “mature” version 3 generation program! Yes, Separate slideshow programs are available, but why should you need to use one if all you want is “basic” slideshow capability!

After much trial and error I discovered using the 'Widescreen' template provided in the slideshow module provides very sharp imaging for PDF export. I haven't tried video export, but I would assume it is similar. I cannot explain why this is, because even when I change the guides from 0px to say 60px (i.e. no longer widescreen fill) the images are sharper than using any other template.
Try using 'Widescreen' template. Then try adjusting the guides using 'Widescreen’ template, and save as a new user template. I have no idea why it makes a difference, but it does!

Multiple music tracks on a slide show in Lightroom

I asked at Photoshop World this month whether or not Adobe has included the ability to place more than one track of music in a slide show. Unfortunately, this is not possible with the latest release of LR5. However, I would find this incredibly useful for longer slideshows without having to resort to a third party software. Is there any plan to do this in the near future?

Your preaching to the converted - I've p...d and moaned about the half baked slideshow module for years. And whilst the Lr team have added features over this period they've generally been to satisfy folk more intertested in video output than fixing the basics.

What's the Best Free Software to create slide shows?

Hi,
I have to edit a movie on FinalCut ProX that includes beside interviews, a lot of photographs.
I usually animate them using the program it self (transform features and motion) but it takes too long.
Could someone advice me if there is any application available and free that I can download from the Internet?
I've tried Picassa which is Ok but a bit too simple with not too many templates.
It has to be an application that permits to export the slide show and use it further in The FinalCut Pro X project.
Thanks a Lot!

What does that mean?
JBRVideoProductions wrote:
Have you used Motion by chance?
Yes.
Motion can do a lot of amazing things. But if you're looking for speed ("FCPX…takes too long") and templates, you need to look elsewhere.
Perhaps you should download the Lightroom trial.
Or for a dedicated slideshow app, Foto Magico.
Best of luck.

PSE12 slow loading Fujifilm files in slide show

I have just upgraded from PSE10 to PSE12 and now when I use the Slide show (full screen) in organizer with Fujifilm Raw files it take about a minute and a half to load up and same again when you zoom in. Is there any way of speeding this up in PSE12? It was slow in PSE10, but it did take over a minute in total.

To me also Reply #11 seemed key. But I think on first read through the significance of:
With the lossy compressed DNG (scene-referred), you can do all the normal edits you're accustomed to with raw: white balance, highlight recovery, changing camera color profiles, noise reduction, sharpening, lens corrections, etc. With the normal JPEG in DNG wrapper (output-referred), you cannot
had escaped me as it seems counter-intuitive - "lossy compressed" just sounds more image degrading than "normal".
The jpeg compression algorithm is generally used to compress image files like tiffs or psds. It is based on the fact that our eyes are much more sensitive to the luminosity than the colors, and that results in a 'simplification', not a 'degradation' of the data. Imagine you have a very detailed map of an island printed 1 meter x 1 meter. You want to print it 30 cm x 30 cm. You'll downsample the image so that you get a good 300 ppi picture : you simplify to discard all details your eyes could not see in the 30 x 30 print ; that is lossy in the sense that you discard the less meaningful bits of data.
Note that using the jpeg compression algorithm on the just demosaiced raw file is possible because you can process the luminosity and color information from that stage. At that stage, the 'jpeg' compressed data is still an undefined image unlike the usual output-referred jpegs. Another compression algorithm could have been used, with less visual efficiency.
Since the link I gave in this post, the new version of Lightroom has taken advantage of the lossy dng compression in a very smart way. Lightroom keeps a catalog and a preview file for quicker browsing on its library. Instead of using normal jpegs as previews, you can use lossy DNGs of about the same size. The advantage is that if the catalog and previews are stored in a computer and the library in another drive, you can edit the raw files and store the results in the catalog even if the other drive is not plugged in. When you plug the drive in, you can sync the parametric editing in the catalog to the real full size raw images.

Slide Show in Dreamweaver?

I'm trying to find a way to place a continuously playing slide show on my site. I have ten photos that I want to automatically display one after the other. Adobe GoLive made easy work of this but the ability to do the same in Dreamweaver eludes me. It's gotta be in here here somewhere. Anyone? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If you have Lightroom, there is a wonderful plugin called SlideShowPro -- http://slideshowpro.net/. It costs $35, is very easy to use and outputs beautiful Flash slideshows.
I used SSP for my new site -- www.johnblaustein.com (still under construction).
