Making a photo opaque

I would like to make a photo opaque iPhoto. I know how to do it iWeb.

sewquilt:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What degree of opacity do you want for the photo? Default opacity is 100%. There's no tool in iPhoto that does the same thing as the opacity slider in iWeb.
Do you Twango?

Making a Section of a Photo Opaque

I have a background b&w photo for a book cover. I want to put red text over the middle third in a rectangle. Is there a way to make just this part of the photo opaque without doing it in Photoshop (which I don't really use). The text will be more readable if I do.

Thanks Peter.
More description. The photo to the left found here;
http://deadliestfire.info/
will be the back cover of a book. In the middle third I want to overlay red text (the back cover blurb). To make it readable I want to make the middle section of the building more opaque (maybe 25%) so the overlying red text is legible, but you can still make out it is the building underneath. Does that help?

How do I sort the photos in the photo pane when making a photo book?

There's a certain order that I'd like to see the photos I want to use when making a photo book. But the order that I have it in (which is done manually and not by date) in the album does not appear in the same order when I want to turn some of those photos into a photo book. For some reason the photos that appear on the right side of the screen, "photo pane" show the photos in a different order. Is there some kind of setting that I'm missing?

No - they are in date order - the only solution I've seen is to ues teh batch change command time & Date command on the photos in the album to put them in date order to match the album -- or just drag them to the book pages in the order you want them

Making a photo gallery

I am having trouble with actionscript. I am making a photo
gallery and my buttons and layout are just dandy everything's
looking fine. The buttons do nothing, and i know i need
actionscript to make it work but i have no idea how to even begin.
I have what i want the buttons to show made in a movie clip I just
need to know how to how to have the clip come up and be centered
when clicked. Please help me.

depends on whether you are using AS3 or AS2.
either way, however, you're looking to work with "event
handlers"
onRelease()
onPress()
onRollOver()
onRollOut()
etc...
so in AS2, if you have a button named "test_b" on your main
timeline, you would assign an action like this...
test_b.onRelease = function() {
trace("this is a test to see if this button works.");
AS3's event handlers are a little different.

When making a photo book, my iPhoto freezes during uploading the book to the store after assembly. I have attempted this 4 times now and I don't know what to do! I know the file size is massive due quantity of large images. How can I get past this?

I know the file size is massive due quantity of large image files, but I don't want to reduce the image file size and compromise quality in the book. How can I get past this?
My macbook air is os x 10.9, using iPhoto 11 9.5 (902.7).

Hi shldr2thewheel,
it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
Sincerely in need of help once again,
Kim

Making a photo your desktop background

I just installed thee new iPhoto 6 and now I no longer have the option of making a photo my background from iPhoto. The button appears greyed out and the menu option is greyed as well.
Any ideas as to why?

Hi Hdebar,
Go into system Preferences>Security
uncheck the box that says "require password to unlock
each secure system preference"
Hopefully, this will apply to your situation.
I am unable to select "desktop" also. However, I checked my pref:sec and the box was not checked. Do you have another suggestion?
Thanks

im making a photo slide show using imovie. how will i make a dvd copy that can play in both pc and dvd player. i dont have an idvd anymore. m using a mbp early 2011 osx 10.8.5.
after making the photo slide show, i clicked share>export movie. after which i burned using toast. the file became a .mov. i tried playing it in my mac and it worked. my fear now is will it also play in a regular dvd?... i read from google that mov files won't run in dvd players. what format should i convert it to so it'll play in a dvd player. can you suggest a faster way i can burn my projects for it takes me almost an hour to export. im going to make 28 slideshows for my kids in school. *=( if i need to do this process 28 times, i may not be able to finish it on time. please suggest a software or an alternative as to how i should do this... m more comfortable using imovie than iphoto. thanks and i hope to hear from someone soon *=j

Thank you QuickTimeKirk...used toast to burn project... my project was in .mov, i tried to play it a dvd player, it did play... will try again tomorrow using another dvd player just to be sure it'll will really work with dvd players. thank you again for your reply *=)

There are numerous posts on the forum with the same issue. It seems it is an issue at Apple's end, but I have not seen any Info from Apple.

Hello, is there a way for making a photo transparent with iPhoto are another software?

Hello, is there a way for making a photo transparent with iPhoto are another software?

Not with iPhoto, but different apps have different capabilities.
There are a couple of considerations: How is this transparent image to be used? In a Deskop Publishing environment something like Pages' Instant Alpha might be useful. Or if you're trying to overlay one image on another on a photograph then some editor that supports layers would be required.
Further, Jpegs as a format doesn't support transparency so you'll need to work ina file format that does.
But if you can explain what you're hoping to do we might be able to point you in a more useful direction.
In order of price here are some suggestions for editors:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

I'm making a photo album and have decided to cut it in half and mak

I'm making a photo album and have decided to cut it in half and make 2 books. Has anyone been able to save the half of a photo album so they don't have to start again?

When I want to split a book into two, I duplicate the book (ctrl-click it in the source list, then select "duplicate book").
Then remove the first half of the pages from the second book and the second half of the pages from the original book.

How do I make just a section of a photo opaque in Pages? So that I an read the text I'm placing over it.

How do I make just a section of a photo opaque in Pages? So that I an read the text I'm placing over it.

If you're asking about Pages for iOS (this forum is for iWork for iOS), I don't see an option to make part of an image transparent.
If you're asking about Pages for your Mac, you can use the instant alpha tool to make the background transparent. There is a separate forum for Pages on the Mac here.

HT201170 Force quit iPhoto while making a photo book

I had to force quit iPhoto while I was making a photo book. The photo book is still there but the photos I recently added (after laboriously scanning them in) are no longer viewable in the side bar with all the project photos. They are also gone from my iPhoto library. When I view each photo page individually the 'missing photos' are still on the pages yet when I view 'all pages' they are not there. Worried if I go to purchase, they won;t be on the pages at all.
Help?
