Moving slideshow with 100 plus images from iPhoto to iDVD

When creating a slideshow in iDVD you have a default limit of 99 images. This becomes a problem when trying to create a large slideshow with no interuptions. My partner and I almost figured out a way around that. We created the slideshow in iPhoto rather than iDVD and then went to the "Share" menu and selected "Send to iDVD" and it sent the slide show over to iDVD exactly how it was created in iPhoto. The problem is we want to make sure that all transitions from slide to slide and the music are smooth.
Please comment on this topic.
Also in iPhoto there is a default movement (simular to Ken Burns effect) that we can't figure out how to turn off. There is an option to turn on Ken Burns effect but not to turn off all image movement during show.Note: these movements are differnt than Transitions. Let us know your thoughts.
Thanks

Instead of using iPhoto, how about using iMovie? Simply drag the photos from your desktop folder (if that's where the originals are located) directly into the clip pane of iMovie. Once the photos are in the clip pane, drag them into the time-line, then you can adjust the duration of each slide, add transitions and add music. This is the way I've always made slide shows and I have had excellent results. In iMovie, you can also easily adjust where the music aligns with the slides and overlap one song to the next. Also, if you drag the photos into iMovie directly (rather than using iPhoto), the Ken Burns effect will not be activated, which I think it is automatically if you import photos from iPhoto. But if you want the KB effect, I think you need to import the photo from iPhoto.

  • Moving pics location and removing images from iphoto

    Here is the basic breakdown.
    1. Imported pics from camera into iphoto.
    2. I want to remove some of the pics from iphoto.
    3. I do not want to use delete due to I want to burn/move a copy to CD or a different folder on my HD.
    4. I moved a couple for test purposes from my iphoto lib to my home folder.
    5. Reboot.
    6. In iphoto I can still see the photos in the smaller views. but when I try to full screen the photo I get an grey screen ?x type of thing.
    I do not want the small pic either.
    Advice or direction?
    Thanks.

    To add to Terence's suggestions I'd like to expand on:
    3. I do not want to use delete due to I want to burn/move a copy to CD or a different folder on my HD.
    To copy those photos to another folder use the File->Export->File Export menu option. This will copy the files to the location of your choice.
    To burn the photos to disk so that iPhoto can access them at a later date then use the method described by Terence. To burn just the jpg files to a disk without the iPhoto format use the Export route again to a folder on the desktop and then burn that folder via the Finder.
    And do not take the warning about messing with files via the Finder lightly. As you found out it can really mess up the library.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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.

  • EFilm card reader with a fuji film HD card can't transfer images from iphoto to sd card

    I have a MacBook Pro running OSX.  I am using an eFilm card reader with an XD picture card.  I want to transfer my images from iPhoto on my macbook pro to this XD picture card.  iPhoto doesn't recognize the card and photos will not transfer.  Help!  There was one photo on the card and it successfully transfered from the picture card into iphoto but I can't get it to do the reverse.  Thanks so much for the help.

    Select the photo(s) in iPhoto and export (file menu ==> export - see this user tip for export options) to a desktop folder and then drag the photos from that folder to the desired location on your XD card

  • How can I import images from iphoto with the albums and folders?

    How can I import images from iphoto without losing the albums and folders I already created?

    In Organizer, you can choose File>get Photos and Videos>From iPhoto.
    Importing from iPhoto'09: If in iPhoto, you organize your media using photo references, that is, the media actually does not reside inside iPhoto library package, and are referenced through original locations, Organizer does not create new copies of those media and just refer to the original location. but if your iPhoto media reside inside iPhoto library, Organizer creates a copy all media in your pictures folder, also imports albums and tags and other metadata.
    Importing from iPhoto'011: In this case, Organizer always creates a copy of your photos in your pictures folder which resides inside iPohto package. It does not import the albums and other metadata like star rating, caption etc.
    Hope this information helps!

  • How can i delete images from iPhoto?

    I can not delete images from iphoto. When I try to move pictures to the trash they do not move, and if I try to delete them by pressing "right click> Trash" they do not move! pretty much the only way I can delete pictures from iphoto is to delete the library.
    Can anyone help me? I'm about to permanently delete iphoto from my macbook pro.
    it is nerve-wracking!

    Where are you trying to move these photos from?  The following are the key combinations for moving from different entities in the library:
    Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library:
    1 - from the Event or Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
    2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin.  Then empty the trash bin as above.
    If none of the above work try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If the problem persists in the new library make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • When exporting images from iPhoto library to Aperture 3 library the highlights go red and the shadow area goes blue.  This happen to all images in the Aperture 3 library, why?

    For some reason all the images in Aperture 3 library have had their highlights go red and the shadow area goes blue.  I can correct them one at a time with contrast control.  This just happen on its on after I uploaded MOuntain Lion.  Now when I go to transfer images from iPhoto this happens.  The images are all right in iPhoto but this is not the case with Apeerture.  I have 15,000 images in Aperture 3 and I can't afford the time to correct them one at a time.  What is it that I did to cause this problem?

    You have "Highlight Hot and Cold Areas" turned on.
    Toggle this on/off from the View menu.
    Thresholds are set at "Aperture➞Preferences➞Advanced".  (I have mine set to 100% ~ it's not clear what the scale is.)

  • If I barrow an image from iPhoto, that is drag it to another file or the desktop it seems to half disappear.  It still shows until I try to enlarge it then I get a triangle exclamation mark in the enlarged field, once I return to Photos or an Album it is

    If I barrow an image from iPhoto, that is drag it to another file or the desktop it seems to half disappear.  It still shows until I try to enlarge it then I get a triangle exclamation mark in the enlarged field, once I return to Photos or an Album it is there.  However it can no longer be dragged into another file.  How can I recover these images?  Is there a better way to duplicate a image to locate in outside of iPhoto?
    I never had this problem in previous versions of iPhoto.

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the link to the original file.
    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Export images from iphoto filled SD card very quickly

    I have been trying to copy images from iphoto onto a 1 GB SD card via a universal card reader. I want to copy 220 photos (100 MB) but the card thinks it is full after 130 photos. I have tried to copy the photos as JPG, TIFF, PNG, copied by 'export', or dragged one at a time, copied the full image or limited in size, with or without extension, but always the same result. I was able to copy the photos onto a 4 GB card, where then 3.61 GB is still available. Why can I not copy the photos onto the 1 GB card?? Please help.

    Susanne
    You can reformat any card using Disk Utility - but I would advise against it as the card probably won't work with the photo frame then.
    Have a look at the card on your Mac and see if there's a folder heirarchy already there. Perhaps the folder needs a special name to be visible to the frame, but other than that you'll need to contact the frame maker.
    To back up iPhoto you should make a back up of the iPhoto Library Folder at in your Pictures Folder. An external HD, burn to CD or DVD, online storage are among the possibilities.

    Photoshop is not a format.  It's an application.
    What you are looking at are not true JPEGs, just iPhoto's "tease" representations of the hidden images it swallowed, as explained above.

  • Apple TV slideshow with video and images

    I want to make a "slideshow" with alternating video clips (from one movie) and pictures.Can I tell the movie to play for a certain amount of time and then switch to an image and then go back to the movie, repeating until the movie is over and then have the whole thing start over? Or can I use iMovie to break up the video and insert the image and make a movie to sync with the AppleTV? Is there an easy way to do this?

    Try unplugging all cables for a few mins then try again, if no improvement it's almost certainly had it.

  • How do I Export Raw images from Iphoto to Adobe Photo Elements 4

    I recently purchased Photo elements 4 because I could import images from Iphoto in Raw format and work with them. Everything I have read and the instructional video sent to me by Adobe make it look and sound very easy but so far I have had no success.
    I have been able to open Bridge and view photos from Iphoto so it seems to me that everything that I have in Iphoto is automatically transfered to Elements 4. However I can not find my Raw images. What am I doing wrong or failing to do and is there some logical sequence that I have to follow to import Raw images.
    I am using a Nikon D200 and just to be safe I have been shooting so the images are saved both in JPEG and RAW.
    Thanks for any help you can provide

    dakota8,
    iPhoto and Adobe Bridge are incompatible, so you need to decide which one you want to use (for which photos). iPhoto is a database, with many flexible features for organizing your library and finding your photos. Bridge is a file browser with some organizing capabilities. You absolutely should not use Bridge or any other application (Finder included) to browse the files inside your iPhoto Library folder, as it will damage the iPhoto database. To verify, click on iPhoto's Help and read the section "About using the iPhoto Library."
    If you want to keep your RAW files in iPhoto, then you'll need to open them from iPhoto. As Dave E said, this can be done by setting the iPhoto pref to export RAW files. You also need to set PE 4 as the external editor in iPhoto's preferences. With this setup, you can select photos using iPhoto, open the RAW files into PE 4, then edit. Now comes the wrinkle in the workflow. Normally, you would do a Save to cause your edited file to be saved back into the iPhoto library. This Save, not Save As, requires that the filename and extension stay the same. Works great with jpeg files. However, once you edit the RAW, the extension (and file format) must change. Save will not work, because any save at this point is treated like a Save As. So you have to Save As to a folder OUTside of your iPhoto Library, and then import it in as a new file. There will be no link between the edited version and its unedited RAW file. You could organize inside iPhoto to display the edited file beside its original RAW, or keep separate rolls for the originals and edits.
    With that in mind, you might not want to save the RAW files in iPhoto at all. You could create your own filing system for them, which you would browse using Bridge. Upload using Image Capture to save your files to a folder of your choice. Once you edit the RAW files and save as another format, you could them import into iPhoto for cataloging or further editing. You'll just have to find the system that works best for you.
    BTW, don't save your edited RAW files as Adobe RAW. I tried and discovered that iPhoto refuses to import them at all.
    I have been able to open Bridge and view photos from Iphoto so it seems to me that everything that I have in Iphoto is automatically transfered to Elements 4.
    There's no transferring involved at all. Bridge is rooting directly inside the iPhoto Library folder. Did I mention that it's best to avoid this?
    However I can not find my Raw images.
    When you import a file it is saved into the Originals folder. Your RAW files are there, along with any video clips you may have imported.
    iPhoto automatically creates a jpeg version of your RAW files and stores it in the Modified folder. It has to do this in order to display the picture on your screen. With video clips, a jpeg of the first frame is created for display purposes.
    I am using a Nikon D200 and just to be safe I have been shooting so the images are saved both in JPEG and RAW.
    If you import both versions into iPhoto, then you have
    Originals - RAW
    Modified - jpeg
    Originals - jpeg
    (Modified - jpeg - if you edit the jpeg version or if they are auto-rotated to portrait orientation)
    I don't shoot in RAW, so I can't really comment about which workflow would be the most efficient. I just played with it long enough to realize that there is no easy way to do it.
    Regards.

  • Removing Images from iPhoto

    I don't know how to remove images from iPhoto 8 or 6. I prefer to use PhotoShop Elements and I want to move the iPhoto images from wherever they are into a separdate folder so that I can put them into Bridge CS3 and use Elements. But I cannot figure a way to do this. Thanks.

    Terence
    I purchased the Duplicate Annihilator that you recommended and with about an hour it had detected almost 5,000 duplicates, so I went ahead and identified them, also did the thumbs and found about 300 there, so I put them in the trash and deleted all that came up and now I am down to 5,000 - pictures. I will run it again tomorrow
    Thank you for your help, and a bargain to boot, I must tell my Mac store about this!
    Very much appreciated.... the reason that I hesitated to bring over the old iPhoto is that a few months back a bunch of my pictures from there 'disappeared' -so I didn't want to import a corrupt application?

  • Images imported from iPhoto to iDvd are not as sharp as originals. Any solution?

    Trying iDVD for the first time. Imported images from iPhoto. However on the DVD, the images are not as sharp as the original files which are very sharp and well-focused. Any solutions or is this kind of degradation just to be expected?
    Thank you!

    Hi
    There are several layers to this.
    a. There are no HD-DVD - DVD is as standard only Standard Definition as on old CRT-TVs and can never be anything btter as iPhoto showes on Your Mac screen (5 to 10 times higher resolution)
    b. One can get a result less than iDVD SD quality and down to really bad by
    • Using iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - as they discard every second line in the picture = 50% loss
    • Using iMovie HD6 and NO Ken Burns effect AND "Share to iDVD" as this also results in disaster (heavely pixelated Bad bad pictures) - (as iMovie will render badly)
    c. I build my SlideShow in
    • iMovie HD6 - and no Ken Burns effect - BUT I close iMovie and import iMovie movie project (SlideShow) from within iDVD and now iDVD will render and so much better.
    • FinalCut also delivers maximal quality over to iDVD
    (from FCE/P - Export out as QuickTime .mov - NO QuickTime conversion (Important))
    • iMovie'08 to 11 - I Share to Media Browser and as Large (not HD or other)
    iMovie HD6/FinalCut + iDVD will give as high quality possibly to the resulting DVD.
    I use
    • Verbatim DVD-R
    • set down burn speed to x4 (Plays better on many DVD-Players)
    • Pro Quality encoding - I got the time and like the result

Please Help!!! My misuse will kill me if find out that we have no more videos from our honeymoon...
    You may need to prepare yourself for a "World of Hurt" from your wife...
    Since the average 0.9 megapixel JPEG photo file of normal graphic complexity stored at a high quality compression setting is 125-135 KBs in size, I would have to assume any QT video files you created of more than a fraction of a second in duration were most likely saved as "reference" files to only be 50-150 KBs. Basically, a reference file is q QT (MOV) file that tells a video player how to play data that is still stored in its original source file container(s). For instance, you could trim and merge a number of files together and save the result as a "reference" file that takes up very little room on your hard drive. Or, you could post fles to a server and create a "reference" file that is small enough to be sent as an email attachment that plays the uploaded data on someone else's computer as long as they are connected to the Internet. Unfortunately, for these reference files to work, all of the resources referenced within the file must continue to exist in their proper locations in order to be found and played by the reference. Since you did not indicate what "but they won't play" really means here or how you actually "moved" your iPhoto library files to the external drive, I can only make some "educated guesses" at this point. (BTW: for future reference, iPhoto has a built-in function that allows you to copy your library to one or more back-up locations and then connect to them by default when iPhoto opens or switch source libraries at will within the opened application.)
    If you created reference files and saved them to an external drive, you should be getting an error message telling you the app needs to know where the source files are located so the reference file can re-connect to the resource data. If the original files were also saved, then simple navigate to the source files in oder to tell the app where they are now located. If the source files were deleted as part of the reformatting process, then you are up the proverbial creek whithout a paddle with little or no hope of doing anything about this issue. (I.e., reformatting and then re-installing a system drive usually means you would have little hope of recovering the specific "lost" data you want as there is always a good chance that some of the data segments were overwritten during the process.)
