Numbering the images in a Slideshow

Does anyone know how you can add a number to each slide (ie, 1-99) on a slideshow in iDVD5. The slides are numbered in the setup but I need to show that number (or any numbering!) when the DVD is viewed. Anyone got any ideas?

Julie,
Welcome to iDVD Discussions.
I have no idea if this will work, since I never use manual advance ("Display navigation" in the images window). Might try that option and see if it displays a number when the DVD is played. Might be player-depend too. I've seen many players, and they seem to have their own personalities...

How to change the images in a slideshow

What is the best way to change the collection of images in a slideshow? I realize you can delete images by deleting individual thumbnails, and then add new ones, but that seems rather crude. If I want to swap out a collection of images in a slideshow and then replace them with a new collection, which may or may not include some of the original images, is there a simpler way to do that?
And related to that, is there a publish plugin for Adobe Lightroom that allows one to publish from Lightroom to a Muse slideshow?
Thanks.

1. Temporarily switch on the thumbnails and drag the thumbnails to a new place.
2. Locate the slide show in the layers panel (using the magnifying glass at the bottom of the panel) and drag the images to a new place within the slide show.

Creating a button that changes with the images in a slideshow in Adobe Muse?

Are you able to create a new button inside or outside of a slide show that changes with the images? I want to have the images change and contain a title and link to the project they are related to. Whenever the image changes, whether automatically or someone clicks the "Next/Previous" buttons, the button link and title will change with it.

Sorry, not sure exactly how to describe it. I have a link to a page that uses this technique:
www.roofstudio.tv
The first page ("Featured" page) contains the what I am looking for. The title of the project changes with picture but the link on the "view project" button (probably just a new button in the same location) also changes. So when the picture of project X is up the button will take you to project X's page. When it changes to the project Y picture, the link will take you to project Y's page. My problem is that I'm not sure how have my button or even the text to change. Slideshows only change pictures not buttons. Since it's a widget i can't seem to add any new buttons. Hope this is a better description of my issue.

How do I change the size of the images in a slideshow?

I want to build a slideshow with images that are 150 pixels square, but Muse seems to keep a white space all around the photo. It's the same size as the dummy slide show that you start with when you first use the widget. The original images are built to 150 pixels square.
In preview mode, the big white space sometimes obscures other elements on the page and sometimes it seems to affect the position of the slide show.
I've tried all combinations of Fill Frame Proportionally and Fill Content Proportionally in all five types of slide show.
How do I get rid of the white space around the slideshow?

I figured out how to eliminate the problem I was having. I had the slide show on the front layer, so it obscured everything behind it, even elements that were in the white space around the slide. By sending the slide show to the back, the problem was solved.

IDVD is stripping most color from my images in my slideshow. Please help!

I have received so much help from this forum....
I am running iDVD 7.1.2 and Mavericks 10.9.5.
So I started an iDVD project about 18 months ago on a different computer.
I saved the project to an external HDD so I could move it from an iMac with a bad DVD drive to a MacBook with an awesome superdrive. This has always worked for me.
But I don't think think that information affects my current problem.... just tossing it out there because sometimes information we don't think is relevant is certainly relevant to a knowledgeable person!
Fast forward 18 months or so. I open the project on another computer, but iDVD is stripping all but the brightest colors from the images in my slideshow.
Is this a Mavericks thing?
I have tried, in numerous variations, even to the point of starting a completely new DVD project and dropping the images into the app..... still the same problem: all the images are mostly black and white (or gray tones at best), with the occasional colored brightest elements from the original photo. (It's a cool effect, just not appropriate or desirable for this particular project.)
I have tried the project on different computers, both with opening a new project and with building a new project. It just doesn't matter. The slideshow images lose color. Except, an interesting caveat is that if I pause the playback, click the previous slide button, then play: the image has full color again. But subsequent images are again B&WwC.
I figure it must be something awry with the settings in Wirecast.....
Thank you so much for any assistance.

Hi
In what kind of format is Your photos ? .jpg, .tif, .bmp else
What size are they ?
How many ?
How many slideshow set's ?
You are aware of the 99 photos per serie limit. And 99 series/chapters limit per DVD disk ( not iDVD but DVD-Standard in general ).

IDVD '08 - image order in Slideshows

Just noticed a big "bug" with iDVD and the image order in Slideshows.
Say you have a folder of images that are number in sequential order, because, I don't know, the photographer wants them presented in the order they were taken in.
If you have iDVD's slideshow window open, and you drag those images from the Finder in to the window, their order is all messed up. I can't even begin to understand what logic the ordering takes when imported using drag and drop.
If you select the images by using the Import menu, they are arranged in the correct order.

+If you have iDVD's slideshow window open, and you drag those images from the Finder in to the window, their order is all messed up.+
I do that all the time. Mine don't get "all messed up." I think iDVD uses the date/time code. Since I prefer them arranged chronologically in most cases, it works for me. Maybe the Import function goes by file name sequence?

Is there a way to change the image numbers in a file in Aperture?

Is there a way to change the image numbers in a file in Aperture? We shoot with two photographers and so the img numbers are not in order but I would like to have the photos in chronological order on the disc when I give it to them. Does anyone know how to do this? I have them all in order ready to go in Aperture but when I move them to the disc to be burned they default back to the img number order. Thanks for your help!

What do you mean by "image number"? The file names like "IMG_7822.CR2" or "IMG_7822.jpg"?
You can create custom names with appended numbers, when you export your image files to be saved on a disk.
Sort your images by date in the browser, select them, then use the command "File > Export > Version" to write the files to the disk. Set the name format to "Custem Name with Index" or "Custom Name with Counter" to create numbered names in your current sort order.

How do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3? i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow. i see how you do it when you just play a slideshow.

how do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3? i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow. i see how you do it with presets when you just play a slideshow, but i don't see an option to randomly shuffle the slide order when you create a new slideshow. i know you can sort it by different fields, but i want it to be random. thanks.

If you want to rearrange images in random order you can try an AppleScript:
retrieve a list of selected images from Aperture
shuffe the list properly
create an album in Aperture and add the images from the list to the album (make sure that the album set to be orederd manually)
Here is a sample script that shuffles the selected images and displays them in random order in Full Screen Mode:
on removeItem(ims, i)
-- remove the item at position "i" from a list ims
          if ims is {} then return {}
          if (length of ims is 1) then return {}
          if i < 2 then return rest of ims
          if (i = length of ims) then return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims)
          if i > (length of ims) then return ims -- should be error?
          return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims) & (items (i + 1) thru (length of ims) of ims)
end removeItem
on shuffle_items(ims)
-- shuffle the items of the list "ims" randomly
          local numitems, ims_shuffled, nextrest, nextpick, i
          set numitems to length of ims
          if length of ims < 2 then return ims
          set ims_shuffled to {}
          set nextrest to ims
          repeat until nextrest is {}
                    set i to (random number (numitems - 1)) + 1
                    set nextpick to item i of nextrest
                    set beginning of ims_shuffled to nextpick
                    set numitems to numitems - 1
                    set nextrest to removeItem(nextrest, i)
          end repeat
          return ims_shuffled
end shuffle_items
on shuffleIms()
-- retrieve the selected images from Aperture
-- and display them in random order in full screen mode
          local imageSel, shuffled, i
          tell application "Aperture"
activate
                    set imageSel to (get selection)
                    set shuffled to my shuffle_items(imageSel)
                    set fullscreen to true
                    if imageSel is {} then error "Please select some images."
                    repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                              reveal {item i of shuffled}
delay 3 -- chnage that to the time you want
                    end repeat
                    set fullscreen to false
                    return shuffled
          end tell
end shuffleIms
shuffleIms()
Some more code snippets to go from here:
To create an album:
                    tell library 1
                              if not (exists album "shuffledAlbum") then
make new album with properties {name:"shuffledAlbum", image version:shuffled}
                              end if
                    end tell
And to add the images from the shuffled list to the album:
                    repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                              duplicate item i of shuffled to album "shuffledAlbum"
                    end repeat

IPhoto 11 slideshow mode decreases the image sharpness and quality

The images that weight over 5 MB and are fine and sharp become somewhat blured when displayed in the iPhoto '11 slideshow mode. The loss of image sharpness is just too big. The pictures look like they were made with a 100$ camera or even worse. I know the images are fine and big enough. I used picasa slideshow mode just to check. I saw a much better image quality and no noticable lose of sharpness.
Anyone has an idea why the iPhoto 11 slideshow mode looses so much image sharpness?

We all like iPhoto and its ease of use, good looks and fancy features.
However Aplle must concentrate on the core .... sufficient quality of the displayed images. The colors, sharpness, tones - the essence of photography
I understand that iPhoto is not the Aperture. But if the Slide Show mode virtually washes the sharpness away from the pictures than something is not right! Picture that is not sharp is worth the trash
If picasa slide show can do it I am sure iPhoto slide show can do it even better! We are waiting for the upgrade

Does Muse optimize the original file because my images in a slideshow resize after I have used the image more than once.

iif I import a photo into my website and make it a small size then when I create a slideshow and add that photo from my computer it comes in too small every time. It's as though Muze is optimizing the original photo and that is very frustrating. I have to open that photo in Photoshop and save it again to fix it. Very annoying. Will this be fixed?

Muse does not touch the original image, but it does maintain an optimized copy of the original. You can verify by locking the original image file to prevent Muse from touching it.
Muse performs the optimization at export/publish time based on the largest instance of the image in the project. In this case, when you re-import the image, Muse is incorrectly assuming you want the new image at the same size as the first instance that you resized smaller. We'll look at fixing this behavior in the next release, but in the mean time there is a workaround.
Instead of opening the image in Photoshop and re-saving, which changes the modification date of the image and signals Muse to re-import the image, try double-clicking until the image is selected. The selection handles will be smaller and solid if you have the image selected. The handles will be larger and hollow if a container is selected. Then resize the image to the dimensions you want. Initially, the image will be pixelated because Muse is still using the previously optimized copy. However, if you choose File->Preview Page in Browser, the image will be re-optimized for the new dimensions and you should see a higher resolution version in both the browser and on your page within Muse.
You can more easily verify the optimization behavior as follows:
1. Place an image at 25% of its original size.
2. Select File->Preview Page in Browser, which will optimize the image at the 25% size.
3. Duplicate the placed image and resize the duplicate to be twice as big (i.e. 50% of the original). Initially, this duplicate will be blurry after the resize.
4. Select File->Preview Page in Browser, which will re-optimize the image and redraw at the higher resolution.

How can I fix the image size in a "Picture Library Slideshow Web Part"

When I upload images to be used in the Slideshow Web Part they become skewed because they are different sizes. Is there a way to fix this besides uploading images that are all the same size?
Thanks,
Kathleen

Display Slide Show Images within fixed size
The Picture Library Slide Show Web Part show the images stored in a picture library with slide show effect.
This slide show web part displays the images with it's original size. Due to this the web part changes its size according to the image size. If we want the slide show to run within the specific size on the page then we need to control the size of the images
to the fixed length during runtime.
To achieve this we need to add the CEWP above the picture Library Slide Show web part & insert the following script in that web part.
<style type="text/css">
.ms-WPBody TD {
    PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING- WIDTH: auto !important; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; HEIGHT:
auto !important; VERTICAL-ALIGN: middle; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; PADDING- 0px
.ms-WPBody TD DIV {
    PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING- WIDTH: 100% !important; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; HEIGHT:
auto !important; VERTICAL-ALIGN: middle; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; PADDING- 0px
.ms-WPBody TD IMG {

190px !important; VERTICAL-ALIGN: middle; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; PADDING- 0px; align: center
.s4-wpcell-plain {
    PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING- WIDTH: 100% !important; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; HEIGHT:
auto !important; VERTICAL-ALIGN: middle; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; PADDING- 0px
.ms-PartSpacingVertical {
    MARGIN-"color:#783f04;font-family:'Courier New',Courier,monospace;" />}
.style1 {
    COLOR: #808080
}</style>
We can fix the height & width of the image in the .ms-WPBody TD IMG css.

How to display original images in SlideShow web part
Step 1. Save below JavaScript code to file, for example in SlideshowObjectInitializer.txt and upload it to SiteAssets Library
<script type="text/javascript">
function SlideshowObjectInitializer() {
ShowPic = (function(ShowPicOrig) {
return function() {
var ssObj = arguments[0]; //SlideShow object
var curPicIdx=ssObj.index; //current picture index
ShowPicOrig.apply(this, arguments); //call original ShowPic
//apply some changes to display original picture in SlideShow control
ssObj.image.src = ssObj.linkArray[curPicIdx]; //display original image instead of web image
//change picture & container size to auto instead of fixed (by default web image size is used)
ssObj.image.setAttribute('height','100%');
ssObj.image.setAttribute('width','100%');
var cell = ssObj.cell;
cell.style.width = 'auto';
cell.style.height = 'auto';
cell.style.display = '';
var pcell = ssObj.cell.parentNode;
pcell.style.width = 'auto';
pcell.style.height = 'auto';
})(ShowPic);
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(SlideshowObjectInitializer, 'imglib.js');
</script>
Step 2. Add CEWP on page where Slideshow web part is located and in the Content Editor tool pane, under Content Link, type
/SiteAssets/SlideshowObjectInitializer.txt.

Unfortunately, those slideshows aren't all that flexible. I
don't think
that Adobe supplies the source for the Flash slideshows. But
if you use
the spry slideshow, you should be able to edit the HTML in
Dreamweaver to
add links.
Have a look at one of Project Seven's graphics presentation
products -
Lightshow Magic, Slide Show Magic or Image Gallery Magic.
They're $95
each, and extremely flexible in what you can do with them.
