Ordering of photos in iPhoto 11 slideshows

A few years ago while using iPhoto 09 I made several slideshows from albums where I had manually arranged the photos. I simply selected all the photos in the album and created a new slideshow from that album and the order of images was retained exactly. Now I am using iPhoto 11 on MAC OS X 10.6.8 and the images get all rearranged once I add them to an existing slideshow or create a new slideshow from the album. I am able to move them back into order but it is highly inconvenient compared to how easy it is to arrange the images in an album. Additionally, the "View" options are all disabled and greyed out on the menu bar.
Am I doing something wrong, or did iPhoto 11 lose some functionality that iPhoto 09 had?
Thanks.

When ordering enlarged photos from iPhoto, must I purchase them one at a time and pay a shipping fee for each and very one of them. Sort of a ripoff but I can't figure how to purchase many and pay one shipping fee.

You may have better luck posting in the iPhoto forum if no one on this forum is able to assist. I'm sure you are doing something wrong though.

How can I change the order of photos in iPhoto so I can create the slide show I want?

How to change the order of photos in iPhoto on my iPad, so I can create the slide show I want.

Here's what I did to generate a slide show with Ken Burns effect on the iPad...with the exact same slide order I created on the iMac. I have iOS 5.5 and iPhoto App on New iPad, and iPhoto 11 on iMac.
In iPhoto for the Mac, create a new Album and give it the name of your Slide Show. Drag or import the photos you want into the album. Rearrange the order of the album photos as desired. Do this by selecting Manual Sort under View/Sort Photos or simply start dragging thumbnails to the places you want them (the sort method will automatically change to Manual).
When you have the order you want, shut down iPhoto on the Mac to make sure iPhoto's database gets updated with the new photos and their order.
Restart iPhoto and go to File/Export on the top menu. Select File Export at the top left of the Export window. Set JPEG quality to Max, Size to Full Size, and File Name to Album Name and Number. Set Subfolder Format to None.
Click Export to bring up what looks like the Finder. Create an empty folder on your hard drive under Pictures and give it the name of your slide show. Click on the new folder and then click OK at the bottom right of the Finder-like window. The new folder will contain JPEG files with file names in the form, Album Name - 001.jpeg, Album Name - 002.jpeg, etc. There will also be an iPOD Photo Cache folder. Click at the top of the Name column to order files by file name. 001 will be your first slide, 002 your second, etc.
Now start up iTunes. You are going to force the Mac to sync these new photos with the iPad. Click on your iPad device in the list at the left. Now click on the Photo button at top right. Make sure the Sync Photos check box at top is checked, then select Choose Folder... from the list at right. In the Finder-like window that opens, select the folder where your slides are. Make sure that All Folders is checked, then select Open at the bottom right.
Now click Sync at bottom right. The slides will be copied to your iPad. Both the Photos app and the iPhoto app will properly handle the slide order, and the Ken Burns effect is available using the iPhoto app.
I ran across this problem in preparing a Ken Burns slide show for a wedding. Drove me nuts for a week why the order changes when syncing an iPhoto album from iMac to iPad. But this worked and gave me several options. I plan to use the digital AV adapter for iPad and show slides on a large screen TV using HDMI connection from iPad to TV. TV essentially acts as an external monitor for the iPad.
Hope this helps!

When I export photos to Iphoto slideshow they crop more after each play. Is this common?

When I export photos to IPhoto slideshow they crop more and more after each play. Is this common?

No. In fact, I've never heard of it before.
It might help if you could give us some details. What do you mean by "export photos to iPhoto Slideshow"? DO you mean you're adding photos to a slideshow in iPhoto? Or hat you created a slideshow in iPhoto and exported that to the Finder?

How do I arrange photos in iPhoto slideshow?

On my iPad - the album that I created in Photos appears in the iPhoto app as expected. Only now the sequence is out of order in the iPhoto slideshow. It does not match what is in the Photo album. How do I move the slides in the iPhoto app to the correct order? Thanks!

How to order the photos in a slideshow

how to order the photos in a slideshow

Just like for any other photo - select the photos in the album and use the command "File > Order Prints".
Be careful, not to include any text slides. If it is difficult to select the photos in the slideshow, create a new album from the photos in the film strip (File > New Album).

I saved photo into iPhoto slideshow, but now I can't find it. I wanted to open it in iPhoto so I could edit the photo and make it lighter. How can I find the photos I saved into iPhoto slideshow?

I need advise about saving photos into iPhoto. When I chose to save a photo, I chose it to be saved into iPhoto slideshow because that's the only choice I had that mentioned iPhoto. Now I can't find the photo in iPhoto. What did I do wrong?

Post in the iPhoto forum where those experts are.

Deleting photos in iPhoto slideshow - need assistance asap!

I'm making a slideshow in iPhoto. I have tried to delete photos from the slideshow by first highlight the photo, then clicking on "Photo" in the menu and then clicking on "Delete from Album". I deleted several photos and it appeared as if they had been taken out of the slideshow. When I go back to view it the same photos that I thought I deleted again show up in the show. Huh? What am I doing wrong? I've got to finish this slideshow this weekend! Thanks in advance.

Click on the thumbnail of the photo in the tray at the top of the slideshow window and use the Delete key. Deleting them from the album they were imported from will not delete them from the slideshow.

Extract Photos from iPhoto Slideshow DVD

I made a DVD via iPhoto for someone for the purpose of viewing pictures without actually having possession them, and I heard they found a way to get the pictures off.
Is this true, or was the iPhoto slideshow made incorrectly?
Thanks,
DiFFeReN7

Coincidentally I just saw this:
If you play the slideshow DVD with VLC (Video LAN Client)
<http://www.videolan.org> you can use the "Snapshot" command (Command-Option-S) in the "Video" menu to generate a file from each slide. The resolution will only be about 640 x 480

Photos in iphoto slideshow change order when i close iphoto

Basically, I put all my photos in a desired order for my slideshow and closed the application after working on my slideshow. I came back to it my project sometime later and I watched the slideshow to see what needed to be fixed. All of the photos that I had ordered had been unordered. Is there a way to prevent this? I'm using iphoto '09 on a macbook pro (mac os x). The slideshow I tried was made from an album of pictures.
Thank you!

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

How keep original order of photos in iPhoto album when transferring to Photo Stream?

I want my carefully organized photos in a iPhoto Album to remain in SAME order when sending the album to my iPad from my MacBook Pro via Photo Stream. How can I do this? Also, does anyone know how to keep the captions below photos when using Photo Stream?

I want my carefully organized photos in a iPhoto Album to remain in SAME order when sending the album to my iPad from my MacBook Pro via Photo Stream. How can I do this?
Are you asking about "My Photo Stream" or a "Shared Photo Stream"?
"My Photo Stream" is only a temporary buffer, not meant for long term storage. You have no control over the order of the photos in the stream. Mostly they will be ordered by the date.
"Shared Photo Streams" will be ordered in the same order as add the photos. SO you can control the sequence by adding the photos one by one.
The captions will not be transferred, only the file names.

How do I determine the order of photos displayed in slideshow?

I'm using my ipod to teach art, using a dlp projector. I've got pictures sorted by topic. But I need to know how to organize the photos to display in the order I want them to. Can you help?
Thanks!

You need to rename your photos using 001.name.jpg, 002, ect.
Your best bet is to open the set of images in your photo editor, like Aperture or Lightroom then sequence them to your liking then export the set of images to a seperate folder numbering them 001 to 999.jpg should be good to go.
Although I would think there must be a better way.

How do I change the order of photos for a slideshow?

Not sure how to do this. It's not as intuitive as I had hoped.

When the slideshow is selected you can drag/drop the thumbnails at the top of window into any order.

Controlling order of photos in slideshow

Apparently the Photos application that comes with the iPad doesn't let you determine the order of photos displayed in a slideshow. All of the posts on this topic involve changing the file name, which is not possible on the iPad as far as I know. Is there a workaround for this, or another application that will allow you to control the order of photos in a slideshow? (I can't believe this is an issue -- it seems like such a basic feature to me...)

You could try Photo Manager Pro from the store - it's not as restrictive as the built-in Photos app, and allows you to sort the photos within the app (reorder photos)

Can I change the order of photos in Events

I am in the process of scanning my old film photos so that I can put them into iPhoto. As I have no scanner I take them to Wal Mart and scan them onto a CD then import them into iPhoto at home. Because the CD holds the photos from a number of events I then distribute them to a number of different Event folders.
Once I get all the photos into their correct Event folders I would like to rearrange their order. Using drag and drop, or cut and paste, simply leaves the photo in it's original location. If I use the 'Moving photos from one event to another' feature the moved photos will still go into the new Event folder in the same order as they were in the originating folder, regardless of what order I drag or paste them.
The help menu has topics on how to change the order of photos in a slideshow, book or calender, but not an event. I could arrange the photos beforehand so that they are scanned in the order in which I want them to appear in Events, but with 500+ photos in completely random order it will be fairly time consuming. It also will not help with the disc of photos I have already made.
So, to finally get to my question, does anybody know if there is a way to rearrange the order of photos within an Event folder?
Rgds

Events are strictly time based. If you put those photos in an album and in the order you want, you can set their date and time by using the PHotos->Batch Change->Date and set the date and time you want with the checkbox to add the time differential you'd like between photos. That will reorder them in the Event also.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
