LR5 Slideshow export issue - small images

I've been having quite the difficulty exporting 1080p slideshows from Lightroom 5. After exporting to a 1080p slideshow, some images will fill the screen correctly, while others appear much smaller. I rendered full 1:1 previews to try and fix it but that didnt help. Im at a total loss. Has anyone else experienced this and/or know of a solution?
The first image is one that exports correctly, while the second is whats happening with the other smaller ones.

If you Zoom to Fill the Frame you risk loosing part of your image (the Slideshow module works in a similar way to the print module but doesn't allow you to maximise space).
This slide is Zoomed to Fill Frame (and is wrong)
This slide is not Zoomed to Fill Frame (and is right, the full photo is shown, the derelict road marker is visible and the whole sky is visible)

I've made a slideshow using a white background, zoomed to fill frame and used identity plates. It turned out exactly how I needed it to be. Now I'm making a second slideshow using all the same intro and ending screens and identity plates but with different pictures (same size as the first slideshow) and it's not the right size when exported. I feel like there is some sort of glich happening...
Are you a 100% sure you are using the same settings and the exactly the same version of LR (2 slideshows with LR5.7 for example and the same settings)?

LR5.3 Export issue with Sequence Renumbering

I just discovered an issue with the LR5.3 Export module on my Windows 7 system when exporting JPEG image files with 'Sequence' File renaming and 'Original' File Settings to a subfolder. When exporting approximately 100 JPEG image files LR shows a file count in the subfolder of ~1/2 the actual file count and the ability to 'Synchronize Folder' disappears. The correct number of files appear in the subfolder using Windows Explorer, so they all were successfully exported and renamed properly. LR must be closed and reopened to restore the ability to 'Synchronize Folders' and/or 'Import' images using the Import module. I've never encountered this problem before since I normally process raw image files, which do not exhibit this issue.
Here are screenshots:

Action batch export issue with image trace

So, currently I'm working on batch processing jpeg sequences using illustrator's image trace and distortion effects. I have batch exported the image traces of the sequences via Adobe bridge. Now I'm trying to create an action which opens the .ai files containing those image traces, apply a graphic style to the trace, and export a png from that. I'm banging my head against the wall trying to get this to work right now. If I do the steps (step by step... not using a recorded action) I want on a single file, it works great, but the moment I batch export using the action I've created, it puts the original .png image that the image trace was linked to, on top of the image. The result is a bunch of .png exports that look exactly like my original image sequence. If I add a "save" function to the action and open the resulting .ai files, I can see that the image trace vectors are in the file. The "linked png" however visible on the layer above those vectors. Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? How do I get rid of that pesky linked image.
Also, for anyone who might be thinking that it has something to do with expanding the image trace before applying effects, this issue I'm running into, I've determined, is happening higher up in the hierarchy of the actions... If I simply make an action to open the image trace illustrator file and save it back out, the same issue occurs... placing the .png "linked file" on top of the vector image.
While I'm at it, I might as well ask if anyone knows how to change the illustrator default image trace preset.... Without being able to change it, or much less specify in the action sequence that I'd like to use a user created image trace preset rather than the default setting, it's greatly overcomplicating my workflow. Makes what could easily be one-step batch processing into two. Seems pretty silly if you ask me.
Please, if you guys have any insights on this, let me know. It's super frustrating... By the way, if you're wondering what type of effect I'm going for, the idea (as well as some explanation into their own process) starts at 12:44 of this video (http://vimeo.com/77427470).
THANKS!

Just wanted to let you guys know, for anyone who might be having my same issue... My home computer, even after a fresh install of Illustrator, was still placing the linked jpeg over the traced vector shapes when batch exporting... I did however find a workaround. Rather than using Bridge CS6 for the batch image tracing, I used Bridge CS5 to trace in Illustrator CS5. Then, I used Illustrator CS6 to batch export an action that imported and applied an effect to those image traced sequences. When you do this, it forces you to expand the tracing on import (because of the difference in Illustrator versions I'm assuming). This way, when you batch run the action, it's already working with expanded vector shapes. Not sure why this works, but it does.
Also, I was having some issues getting Illustrator to apply the graphic style when batch exporting. I got it to work by copying an object with that particular graphic style to the clipboard, then adding in the action I was running a "paste" command, followed by a "clear" command. I can only assume that Illustrator was having issues loading custom graphics styles while batch exporting. The paste/delete technique is annoying, but gets it done.
Anyways. Just wanted to check in on this one. I'm happy I was able to muscle my way through it all.

Slideshow export issues

I'm running Yosemite 10.10 & iPhoto 9.6. I've created a 28 minute slideshow using the Scrapbook theme. The Slideshow plays fine in iPhoto. I export the Movie 1080p without error using the export button. The resulting file starts to play fine, and then after a minute the video continues to play but reverts to the first frame picture. At 10 minutes the video plays normally for 1 minute and then the same thing happens. At 20 minutes the same thing again. When I imported the file into iMovie I can see that the video has been made that way by iPhoto export (this is not a playback issue). This is totally different to how it plays within iPhoto itself. Any Ideas?

Bill,
It looks like they are all 400x300.
I can increase or decrease that in Photoshop if need be.
Thanks.

Slideshow export issue

I have 2 slideshows that export just fine. BUT when i combine them and then export them as a single slideshow aperture produces a file that will not open (only 4k, no alert boxes pop up to tell me anything went wrong).
Is there a maximum length or size to a slideshow?????

I was with the same problem and followed the instructions from another discussion in this forum.
Try this:
. Do a simple file search (via spotlight) on the files related to "3ivx" codec.
. Remove the files or uninstall this codec
. Try to export from iPhoto again.
That should work.
Hope this helps.

IPhoto slideshow export issue

Greetings,
I am runnng iPhoto 11 v9.4.1 and cannot export a 100 picture slideshow. I have a MacBook Pro runing 10.7.5. After creating the slideshow, I click on the export button, select the display option of 1280 x 800 and then click OK. iPhoto starts the export and then will quit, finder will come up with an error message: The operation can’t be completed because the item can’t be found. The slideshow QT movie does not get created. I also created a new iPhoto database, imported 5 pictures, created a new slideshow and then exported - I got the same error message. I am stumped, any ideas or suggestions?
Thank you,
Matt

Only small images will export...

Today I had problems exporting full-sized images from LR3. Using the Export menu, I tried to send images to my mac's desktop. They arrived as small, sub-100KB image, though shot as RAW/MRWs on Sony and KM DSLRs at 6-12 MPx). On the Export panel I chose 100% quality and no compression, but images still exported as small files. Dragging and dropping instead of exporting, the LR images lost their LR corrections, so that was an even worse option. Exporting as TIFFs made no difference, still small files were produced. I did not try burning LR files to a disk and copying them onto the desktop from disk, but that shouldn't be necessary, should it?
I'm a newer LR user, who relied on iPhoto for years. I love LR3's capabilities and ease of use, but my photos seem to be stranded inside it. I feel like I'm following the instructions to the letter, but something is happening in the background. Any guesses?

Hi Minoltan,
It sounds lke you have the 'Resize' option, or the 'Limit to File Size' option accidentally set in your Export parameters.
Here's a screen print showing these two options;
Make sure you haven't clicked the 'Limit File Size to' box, and that the Image Sizing is set to the correct number of pixels, or, if you don't want to resize the photo, that the 'Resize to Fit' box is unselected.

Slideshow exported to pdf: jagged lines

Although this issue has been brought up before in this forum, it has never been properly answered or resolved. Therefore, I will be pretty precise about the procedure in the hope that knowledgeable people will take a closer look at the issue.
For test purposes on this forum, I make a "slideshow" in LR 2.1 MacBook Pro using one single 10Mpx RAW image that has been pre-rendered 1:1 in Library. For this demonstration, the slideshow has no borders, no text, and 0 pixel margins in layout.
First, I play the slideshow i LR 2.1 so it shows full screen on my 1920x1200 SpectraView monitor, then, to make you see the result, I do a screen shot and then crop the relevant detail from the image, then 'Save for web' jpg to make it web friendly so you can easily see it.
The following image is the relevant detail of the full-screen LR image, namely a car (a very nice beautiful good-looking car, since it happens to be MY car:-)
(http://tmp.bragit.com/slideLR.jpg)
Then, in LR 2.1, I export to pdf, choosing Screen as resolution, which in my case is 1920x1200, at 100% quality, 'automatically show full screen'. Then I open the pdf in Acrobat 8.1.2, which shows it in full screen on my 1920x1200 monitor. Since the monitor matches the chosen resolution, the result SHOULD be at least as good as the way LR "plays" the slideshow, but preferably with some suitable amount of output sharpening.
However, the car in the image now has very ugly jagged lines. To make you see the result, I do again a screen shot and then crop the relevant detail from the image, then 'Save for web' jpg to make it web friendly so you can easily see it. (This jpg sRGB procedure has not affected the visual result of the artifacts in any relevant way.)
The following image is the relevant detail of the pdf-exported full-screen image, namely the car:
(http://tmp.bragit.com/slidePDF.jpg)
It should be pretty obvious that the result is unacceptable. It is not primarily sharpening that causes the jagged behavior, it looks more like a very bad resampling. Many people seem to have reported the same thing, so I wonder how come this hasn't been addressed at all in the last few versions of LR? Or do you really have a workaround?
PS: increasing resolution further (to for instance 3000x2000 pixels) on export does NOT solve the problem; it only makes the artifact somewhat smaller.

As to why I export pdf slideshows: there are three reasons and usages for this:
1. Making relatively small (eg. 900x1440) slideshows to be sent over email to people. For about a year I have noticed the quality is lousy, but I first thought it was because LR did a much too strong sharpening on export, but much later I came to realize that the problem has a much more severe origin. I took for granted that Adobe was trying to do something about it, but obviously not.
2. I can merge several pdf slideshows into one slideshow, so that I can have an Intro Screen at the start of each new "event", where each "event" may be only a few slides.
3. The native quality of slideshows as shown by LightRoom is lousy in deep shadows, just as bad as in the Library module, despite it has been rendered 1:1. It is ONLY in the Develop module that shadows are rendered decently, or on export to jpg, or export to a pdf slideshow (but the latter has other problems as I have shown above). So, to make the shadows better, and to avoid various problems with the Slideshow module (such as starting or stopping on the wrong image), I often export to pdf. In addition, color management can behave differently when displaying the show on a separate monitor or projector, where LR and Acrobat sometimes differ, especially on Plasma screens.
I have discussed the issue of bad shadow rendering before in this forum (long ago), and Jao thought it was due to a corrupt monitor profile, or at least an improper rendering intent, but I don't think so, and I showed screen shots so that everyone could see the effect. Some people only saw an almost black image, but that is because their monitor is bad. I have a very good monitor (SpectraView) that shows almost the entire Adobe RGB, and the profiling makes me able to see colors all the way down into the deepest shadows. Whenever color management is not working as it should, I see that immediately. It is in those shadows that the Library and Slideshow modules do a very bad job. Maybe the reason is that the previews are based on jpg, and jpg itself is extremely bad in shadows, usually causing severe posterizations.

Remove fade in/out from iPhoto slideshow export?

I'm bringing in some pictures from iPhoto and I've had bad luck with photo resolution when I used iMovie to import the picture and apply Ken Burns effects, etc. I've seen some suggestions here to use an iPhoto slideshow export instead.
I have my settings for 1 second slides, no transition and a ken burns effect. I'd like to make an export for each picture, but iPhoto insists on opening the slideshow with a fade in and closing with a fade out. Is there any way to prevent this? I'd like to add the transitions in iMovie instead.
(I realize that the iMovie forum might be a better place for this so forgive the crosspost)

Thanks, I think I'll skip the Ken Burns for now since I've had nothing but problems with it. My issues before were that 1) iMovie would play the images in sequence just fine during playback but at export would mix up the order. 2) The resolution on the pictures was absolutely terrible. I have a new movie now and haven't seen either problem.

Iphoto slideshow export error

I am getting an error message "can not export, file can not be found" when I try to export a slideshow created in iPhoto. I can play the slideshow within iPhoto without issue.
How do I solve this issue?

There probably is a photo in your slideshow, where the original image file cannot be found.
To find this file, try if the photos can be exorted or you can use the command "File > Reveal in Finder > Original". If you get an error message, when you try that, replace that photo by a different one in your slideshow.
To fix the missing original(s), try, if rebuilding your iPhoto Library will help.

CS3 export missing still images.

Hello All,
I'm trying to produce a video which is essentially a slide show timed to a music beat. It's a lot of still images that play really fast. It's almost like stop-motion video, but in some areas of the video, the images are up on the screen longer to match the music. All the still images have been formated as jpgs that are 1920x1080, for 1080p resolution video. When I watch the video in the preview window, all the images play. When I render the work area, all the images play.
However when I export the video out to a mpg4 coded *.mov file, there will be a couple of images that stays on the screen longer it's supposed to. It's like certain pictures get stuck, and subsequent images get skipped. It skips over the next 4-5 images, before resuming the rest of the video which so far seems to export just fine. The images that get skipped over are the images that are intentionally meant to be on the screen longer.
I can't seem to find any differentiation in the jpg files themselves other than some have the icc profile, and some do not. But both types of jpgs images
(w/ & w/o the icc profile) do appear in the export, as well as get skipped over.
The project has even exported at a lower resolution, 720x5XX, and the same thing happens in the same places over the same length of time. I've exported a smaller piece around those areas that get skipped, and it's just a different image that gets stuck on the screen, and the video skips over the images that are intentionally left on the screen for longer.
I'm completely baffled for what could be causing the issue. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, and let me know if there's any information I can provide that can help lead to a solution.

Don't use the MOV format. And don't use the QuickTime player. See if that helps.

LR 4.4: Slideshow Export as PDF - sequencing wrong

Hi all,
I am exporting a 32 image slideshow to PDF (30 photos and a Intro Screen and Ending Screen). I add Sequence as a Text Overlay and it looks fine in LR; the first photo slide, after the Intro Screen, shows as 1/30 and the last, before the Ending Screen, shows as 30/30 in Preview and in Play.
The problem is that, after exporting, viewing the PDF (on my MacBook Air running OSX 10.8.3) shows the first photo slide as 2/30 and the last as 31/30!
I have tried creating the Sequence text overlay manually (by editing Custom and inserting Image and Total fields) but the same thing happens on export.
Is this a known issue? Will I have to export the images and create the slideshow outside LR? I do hope not - I much prefer staying in the LR environment until the workflow is complete.
All help gratefully received.
Ian.

Lightroom JPEG export VS Photoshop Image Processor

Hey guys:
Long time photoshop and lightroom user (long time user of all things Adobe). First post here in the forums. I did a search for my question but I think it was too specific, so it returned zero results.
My question is about Lightroom's JPEG export vs Photoshops Image Processor. When I export a RAW file to JPEG from Lightroom, the file size is freaking huge. The JPEG is as big as my original RAW file (~25mb). Settings are set to default - 100 quality. Everything else remains untouched.
However, when I use Photoshop's image processor (I launch it through Bridge, easier that way for me) and process the RAW images that way, my JPEGs are roughly 5-10mb in size. Settings in Image Processor are quality 10 and thats it. No actions being run or anything.
Can anyone shed some light as to why Lightroom exports JPEGs that are roughly 2-4 times the size of Photoshop's JPEGs? My initial thoughts are that the 100 quality setting in Lightroom is more like Photoshop's quality 12 (that always makes me think of Spinal Tap - "Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?" "These go to eleven.") Ideally, exporting out of Lightroom would be much easier for my workflow.
Thanks in advance.

You are correct: LR Quality 100 = PS Quality 12
Despite LR having 101 Quality settings (0 to 100) it actually only has 12 Quality settings the same as PS 'Baseline Standard':

How can I export an edited image to a file?

I can't seem to find a way in iPhoto 09 do this. Can I export an edited image to a file, keeping the edits intact, or do I have to use a 3rd party editing app when I edit from inside iPhoto 09?
I would prefer to use iPhoto's editing tools so should I import previously cropped images into iPhoto? If yes, what file should I use? I was wondering if anyone does this on a regular basis and if there issues doing this.
I like the editing tools in iPhoto very much. In other apps I have always cropped, resized, corrected levels and a bit of color. I am not a power user by any means and I am close to doing this all in iPhoto if I could only export the edited image to a file.
The reason I want to do this is because the printing portion of my work flow is to upload files to my merchant who prints them and are ready for nearby pickup within an hour. This is all done at a very reasonable price and the color accuracy is very close.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Jim

You can edit from iPhoto by dragging to the desktop or exporting using the File -> Export command, setting the Kind to anything except original.
But you probably don’t need to:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 Only*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Small images not showing in design view

Desperate for help! I've been trying to diagnose this for a
long time. For some strange reason, images that used to show up in
my design view are now displaying the 'missing image' icon. I've
narrowed it down to this--if the image is less than 8px high, the
image will not display. When I increase it to 8px or more high
(width does not have any bearing on it), the image is displayed.
Same exact image name, same placement, path, file type, etc. The
only variable changed is the image height. Someone please tell me
what is going on. By the way, this just started to happen. These
small images were displaying fine up until yesterday.

You have two id="header" elements on the page....
I can see both the 5px tall GIF and JPG images just fine in
