Ordering Photos in iPhoto09 Slideshow

I have iPhoto 09. Thank you to anyone replying and helping.
I guess there is no way to order photos the way I want them once a slideshow is made.
For example - if I choose the sliding panel theme - iPhoto automatically
puts the photos where it wants in the various sliding panels. This often
' results in undesirable effects.
I wish there was a sliding panel TEMPLATE where I could just put the photos
where I want that would match up better.
Does Fotomagico offer one templates where one can manually put the photos
where one wants after one selects a theme format ? Or is there actually a way to have more control over how one wants photos placed in various theme?
thank you very much

Thank you Terrence for your reply, but you must be more adept at this than I am.
When I click on a thumbnail all I get is the picture in full blown up mode.
I still have no idea whether the picture will be placed in the slideshow theme.
If I totally rely on iPhoto09 to distribute my pictures I get mis-croppings nor do I get the photo associations or pairings that I want.
It is all hit and miss just moving the thumbnail photos around and then I have to play the whole slideshow to see the results of my thumbnail shifting.
Which brings me to another problem. I actually got a photo album to run a slideshow pretty much how I want with lot of trial and error. BUT when I select an album and choose to have it converted to a slideshow - it jumbles and re-arranges the photos that I had set up the way I wanted them in the album.
The only reason I convert an album to slideshow format is so that I can share it with iTunes.
Suffice it to say - I wish iPhoto had templates or storyboards so that one can manually arrange the photos and place them in the panel or place you want them.
I did send a query to Fotomagico and am awaiting a response.
Thank you for your time and willingness to help.

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).

Every time I add a photo to a slideshow it messes up my entire slideshow. It puts the pics in a completely different order. What can I do to stop this?

When using iphoto, every time I add a photo to a slideshow, it rearranges all the photos in the slideshow. Then I have to go back and put them back in the order that I wanted. What can I do so it doesn't do this?

Are you using a particular theme? In the Classic theme when I add a new photo to the mix it ends up at the end of the slideshow or at the farthest right in the thumbnail tray.

How do I arrange photos in ATV2 slideshow

How do I arrange photos in ATV2 slideshow?

Thanks, that is what I am doing and it works. But when the folder contents are displayed for Slideshow, the photos are not in the order that I want. I can't figure out what controls the order in Slideshow because it is different from the order in the original folder and doesn't correlate with any of the columns (eg, Name, Date Created, etc). It seems like there is a random element in the transmission from iTunes to Apple TV, but that doesn't make sense.

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 change positions of photos in a slideshow?

How do I change the positions of photos in a slideshow?

Are you saying you can't change the order of the slides in this tray in the slideshow mode?
One should be able to drag and drop photos into any position you want. If you can't then try this:   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.

Need Help Ordering Photos

Hello. I am having trouble getting my photos in order on my New Ipod 20G.
The photos always appear in a different order on the ipod than they do in the window on my pc. I have tried naming in them in order etc, but they are always mixed up when they appear on the ipod. If anyone could explain how to order photos on the ipod, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.

Here is one way I discovered to deal with this problem. Make a separate sub-folder under the main folder you use to sync photos with i-Tunes. When you update your iPod it will copy this folder and it's contents. If you have a specific order you want the photos in, use a number or letter prefix in the name or some other sequential naming convention. (for example I used 01_filename.jpg, 02_filename.jpg, etc.) If you start your slideshow from this sub-folder, it will display in descending alpha-numeric order.
The photos will also show up in the folder the iPod creates by default in its default order, which seems to be first in/first out. I haven't determined whether this means there are two copies of the photo on the iPod or not.
Hope this helps.

How do I align photos in a slideshow?

Hello,
I have been trying to find out how to align photos in a slideshow so that they don't "jump around" in the page, when they have different formats. Unfortunately I just read this discussion and learned that it isn't possible.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/6071838
But Iguiva then writes: "Now I only can do it manually, one by one..."
If I can't controll exactly where the photo is shown, I don't see that I can use Muse.
So here is my question: How do I do it manually?
Thanks,
Tine

Hi Tine,
You can go to the Hero Image level in the Slideshow and then double click the Hero Image.
That would give you access to the actual Image (you will see the Control Strip left corner reads "Image" rather than "Hero Image").
Once at that level you can manipulate and place your image inside the Hero Image container as you see fit and it will keep the position you set.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Vikas

I spent hours building a photo album for my parents only to find out that because my mac is earlier than 2007, even though I have 10.6.8, I can no longer order?! What is with that? This makes no sense. I can go online to various "photo shop" place and regardless of the OS and computer I am working from I can order a photo album so why can I no longer do this through iPhoto on my MAC?
How do I order my album now? If somebody could please explain as I am going home in 1 month and really wanted to surprise my aging parents with this book.

How can i link a text to a photo into a slideshow?

hello, need some help please! i want to link a text to a specified photo into a slideshow, another word to another photo and so on...I've tried any slideshow, and composition with anchor points and it doesn't work. How can i realize that please?

There's no support within Muse to cause click on a word within a flow of text to result in a slideshow turning to a specific image.
A composition widget can be used to have clicking on or rolling over a trigger object cause a target container to appear.

How do I add captions to the photos in my slideshow?

Prior to the new Photos program, I was able to add captions to each photo in my slideshow - especially important for travel slideshows. I can't find any info on that or any function for that.

Thanks for your response but I can't find those apps under the list of apps in my settings.
What do I next?

How do you add captions to photos in iDVD slideshows?

Is there a way to add captions to photos once you've put them into slideshows on iDVD? Or, if not, is there another way to add captions to them, though another apple application such as iPhoto? I haven't been able to figure out how to make captions for photos in iPhoto slideshows either. Please help!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. if you're creating the slideshow from stills in iDVD use the Settings button at the bottom to bright up the pane where you can add titles and comments. The downside of that is every photo will automatically have it's file name or title entered. If you don't want that then while you're in iPhoto use the Photos->Batch Change->Title->None option before you import into iDVD. Then none of them will have the titles entered and you can add them to just those that you want. Or you can add them while in iPhoto before importing.

HT4236 what determins order photos are transferred, photos have been numbered and appear in the correct order on the laptop but transfer in a random order in some albums

Can anyone assist witth the following query
What determins order photos are transferred, my photos have been numbered and appear in the correct order on the laptop but transfer in a random order in some albums irrespective of title or date taken.
Can i alter any setting to ensure photos will transfer in a logical order to track the history of the events in any particular album folder.

Thanks for this, I have checked the dates in case the camera settings had been lost unfortunatly in this instance all pics are dated in correct order but not transferred in date order, or date modified order, or is the date config based on US date atyle?

Here's an example of E Books. They're created in iWork and loaded into iWeb as a compressed PDF for download. The photo of the front cover is used for the link.
