PC Monitor of TV for slideshow viewing

Hi All,
I've created several slideshows to be used in our lobby area.
The boss wants to use a plasma tv screen for viewing the
presentations. I suggested maybe a large pc monitor would be
better. Anyone have any suggestions on this?
thanks

Hey there,
I have had this issue forever...and just today successfully gave a pc user some nice footage. There are two ways to deliver nice Hd footage to a pc user. 1.Export from your Final Cut Pro timeline to Quicktime Coversion...MPEG4. Once you are here, change the 64 kbits/second to "5000". Put key frames to either "Automatic" or "24". If they are making a DVD in standard def. put the size to 720x405. 2. Export you Final Cut Pro sequence to Uncompressed 8bit 4:2:2.....then take this to compressor. Choose the DVD settings as if you were making a best 90min dvd. the result will be a mpeg 2 file that pc's love! the only problem with this is the audio file will be separate, but they can link them in their pc world.

Setting up Monitor for Newspaper viewing

Hi,
I have a quato 213e series monitor which is properly calibrated. The problem that I am facing is as follows:
when I Proof Setup PS to view to ISOnewspaper26v4.icc standard, because paper white is not set, I see very bright colours, if I turn on the "Simulate Paper Color" Option the image looks more or less OK but the image looks very flat compared to the printed sample. am I doing any thing wrong here?
Just for information the images are already CMYK in ISOnewspaper26v4.icc color space and the test printed sample is very close to the ISOnewspaper standard, so thinking that either the image is not properly tagged or the printed sample is not good is not an option.
I have no problem with any other kind of images except newspaper images that too I presume is because of such huge difference in the paper white of the newsprint media.
Thanks
Tarun

Tarun,
ISO Newsprint 26v4 has a paper white (I hesitate to call it "white") of 85L, 1a, 5b, which is a very dull, yellowish-whitish gray. The black point is 32L, 0a, 1b, which is a very weak black (more of a dark gray). The dynamic range is pitiful on newsprint. I know you are aware of all this.
Soft proofing super low dynamic range in Photoshop is not easy. First, I would definitely check the "Paper White" box. Hit the Tab key to hide all your palettes, make sure the white ruler is not displayed, and repeatedly hit the "F" key on your keyboard until you have the gray background showing, without any other photoshop elements (especially pure white and pure black elements). Yes, it will still be washed out, but at least you won't be comparing your dingy soft proof to bright white and dark black components on the screen. These will make the comparison look even worse. I'd also turn the ambient room lighting down low and be sure you don't any bright lights or objects in your field of view. This will help a little.
The monitor black point and ambient viewing conditions are critical when viewing low dynamic range processes, and checking Black Ink or Paper White takes some getting used to. I never find it truly accurate either. Your eye gets fooled easily by any brighter or darker elements so they should be avoided. The higher the dynamic range and gamut of your final print, the better the soft proof appears. The lower the gamut and dynamic range, the worse the match, at least in my experience. You have to learn to interpret what you are seeing and what to expect on the printed page.
If you have verified that your inkjet simulation is a decent match to your output on newsprint, I'd rely on that as a guide. And when simulating newsprint on your inkjet, use Relative Colorimetric with BPC OFF, or Absolute Colorimetric, otherwise you will remap blacks to the higher Dmax capability of your proofing paper, and they will be darker than newsprint can reach. I'd also use an uncoated, matte, dingy proofing paper if you have it.

Best, export slideshow in iMovie, for online viewing

I tried exporting my 5min slideshow in iMovie using this setting:
go to>share
export using quicktime
export as: mpeg4 settings>
file format: mp4
video format: h.264
data rate: 1500 kbits/sec optimized: cd/dvd
image size: 1280x720
key frame: 12
frame rate: 12
video options>
restrict profile to: main
encoding mode: best
~
So far, this is good file size for online uploading, and good quality. Good enough. But there are still color issues, like some color blotching, and color transitioning, and the quality of the photos in the imovie when exported is not as good as when I view the slideshow in imovie. It's very important that the quality of the photos remain top quality as this for fine art photography promotion.
If you have any ideas how to export slideshows from imovie, in top quality, please reply. This is for online viewing, to be uploaded in free-hosted sites like youtube, facebook, multiply, etc. I am aware that youtube and facebook have HD options for video viewing. I need someone's help. Thanks.

Yes, I did. Not so good. The settings I mentioned above is actually the best I've tried so far.

Optimizing for computer viewing

Forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere, but I have searched without success.
I am creating a DVD for an artist that is chock full of TIFF files (all of which are 720x480). The DVD looks great on NTSC monitors, and in simulator, but when played on computer monitors the images are soft. I do understand the difference between computer monitors and NTSC monitors, but is there a way to build a DVD that is optimized for computer viewing? I know this is not what DVDSP is mainly used for, but any suggestions will be appreciated. Again my apologies if this has been covered. Thank you.

Hi:
At what magnification are you playing the DVD in your computer? REmember that playing in computer full screen can double (or more!) the size of your video format.
What is the scope of your project? If you need just computer playback probably a Video DVD is not the highest quality you can get. Probably a multimedia application can gices you more resolution. Just an idea.
If you do need to create a Video DVD, probably you need to change your workflow. What size (in pixels) are imported images? What encoding settings did you use? What kind of images are you using (I mean, the content of the images)?
DVDSP Slideshows don't gives you too much control. You can get full control of your edit and encoding working in a FCP timeline (i.e. using a low compression codec like uncompressed or even DVCPRO50) and using Compressor to encode it to MPEG2.
Just some ideas !
Hope that helps !

USB Pointer problems with Preview slideshow view

I often give talks for which my slides are in PDF format (typically produced using LaTeX). Under Mountain Lion I could open the relevant PDF in Preview Slideshow View and click between slides using a Logitech pointer (Model R-RB5). Since updating to Mavericks, however, the pointer will no longer advance slides. It seems to work as expected to move between pages if Preview is not full-screen, or if it's in full-screen mode, just not in slideshow mode (and full-screen mode isn't ideal for giving talks). All seems to be fine in Adobe Reader, but I prefer Preview for one or two reasons, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Everybody, report preview problems to apple at:

My biggest problem in preview 4.0 is it freezes while trying to view large images across four apple LCD's. Sometimes I see a gray screen.

How to get Iphoto out of slideshow view and into edit, by default

Iphoto recently began showing all my albums in slideshow view rather than its customary edit view. I can switch to edit by clicking on the edit icon or just clicking a photo but I want to view and work in edit mode. It just won't show me any albums/folders in edit mode. I posted this once but it has vanished. Any help out there?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Go into iPhoto's Preferences and under the Events section set the Double-click Event: menu to Magnify. See if that's what you want.
The edit mode is only entered when you double click on a photo's thumbnail.
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.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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 08 libraries 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.

External Monitor will not display full view MS apps.

I have a HDMI monitor that was previously working fine. The other day I went to use Word and Excel and the applications would only appear in the lower toolbar. When I would select them they would not enlarge. They remained in a thumbnail view. My email and Internet work as expected. Any ideas what's causing this?

The PDF file and slideshow view corrupted using iPhoto. Macbook air only get corrupted slideshow and Mac Mini both slideshow and PDF file is corrupted.

The PDF file and slideshow view corrupted using iPhoto. Macbook air only get corrupted slideshow and Mac Mini both slideshow and PDF file is corrupted.

Saving as a PDF file for some users have been a problem. If you boot into Safe Mode and run iPhoto you can create undamaged PDF files. We don't know why the problem but this is a workaround.
This problem prevents many from ordering books, calendars and cards since iPhoto creates PDF file of them for uploading and printing. Booting into Safe Mode lets them successfully order those items.

HP LP2065- Need to connect 2 together for extended view

Hi,
I'd like to connect 2 HP LP2065 monitors together for extended viewing. ( Dragging files from one screen to another, not mirroring ). Can this be done without a Dual Monitor KVM switch? Thanks for any feedback or help in advance.
Note:
I currently run 1 HP LP2065 monitor with 2-3 laptops using a 4 port single monitor KVM switch. This set up works fine for one monitor. Online forums suggest getting a Dual Monitor KVM switch to run 2 monitors. But those switches cost $225 plus. And I can score another used HP LP2065 for less than $75

My first thought would be to add the Radeon 2600, it does work in 2007 models running Leopard. And the cost is acceptable.
As long as the X1900 is fine, no need to swap out for the newer 3870 just yet.

Encoding to output for HDTV viewing question

I would like to know what presets are best for the most prestine output to watching an encoded clip in HD. e.g. Given a HDV input, worked in FCP 5 then then encoded. What presets encoding are going to give the best results to watch on a HD monitor, and how long should it take on a G5 dual 2 for say an hour of clip? h.264 in 1080i or 720p or Mpeg4 in 1080i or 720p... consider I don't want to wait a week for encoding. I would like to know if anyone has figured general times for encoding with these conditions.
thanks in advance

I have found the answer. In capturing in dv or hdv I can encode in DVD 4 Pro once it is imported and then selecting the encoding option by right click on the dv file and chose my preset. I watch it thru a hd monitor/tv with a dvi cable and the dvd 4.6 player and it works great. So, I found a way to gather in cable tv using a canopus advc 100 720x480 of a hd program so the res is much improved going in, then process/edit and send to DVD 4 Pro. There is some loss but for home view it works great. I did find some not so know exceptions when you go to support and look for h264 encoding help and it tells some gems about how and what presets to use. I didn't find it in the manual. Also used the latest update to DVD 4 Pro 4.02.

Because the XP597A3 (actually any of these product numbers; XP597AA, XP597A3, XP597AS) is a HP 2011x 20" LCD/LED widescreen monitor. The OP was looking for an A/C adapter power supply for the HP 2711x 27" LCD/LED widescreen monitor, which is product # XP600AA or XP600A3. The adapter power supply I linked to, is the correct part for the 2711x monitor.... that is why not those other parts.

Setting font size for code view

On my 19" desktop monitor the text size in code view is easy enough to read, but on my hi resolution 17" laptop it is really, really tiny. I can't find any prefs setting or another way to make the font for code view larger. Is there such a setting somewhere? (Yes, I can change the resolution settings for the laptop but this is not preferable because the screen is blurry at anything other than the native 1920 x 1200 pixels.) Thanks.

Play around with the preferences shown above to see what works for you. I changed mine recently to use Consalas font and it's much better than the default :-)

Copying iPhoto folders to CD for TV viewing

I'm looking for a way to copy 6 mos. worth of iPhoto folders with jpegs and TITLES to a CD that I can play for TV viewing. The real problem is getting the folders with titles out of iPhoto in jpeg form so they are catalogued. Any suggestions?

The tip refers to the file "Library6.iPhoto" that is in the iPhoto Library folder. That's the file that often gets damaged or corrupted and makes iPhoto think there are no photos in the library or that the files are missing but the thumbnails are there. I just select it and type Command-D to make a copy of it which ends up as "Library6 copy 1.iPhoto". When I need to backup again I delete that file and make another copy of it.
For protection of HD problems and really losing your files I suggest an external Firewire HD. An 80G drive is not that expensive and can hold your iPhoto Library folder and, in general, your entire User folder. That folder contains all of your important, non-replaceable files. The system and applications can be replace
That being said DVDs can be used with iPhoto's Share->Burn Disk menu option to burn multiple rolls to disk in the iPhoto format. This will allow you to mount that disk in iPhoto like this to copy back those rolls into a new library is that were necessary. As you get a number of new rolls you can burn another disk. Or use a CD and burn fewer rolls as they are added. That preserves the keywords, albums they were in, comments, etc. You can also burn slideshows.
The external HD is the easiest and quickest way. By backing up the entire iPhoto Library folder (i.e. copying it to the external HD and then keeping it current with a backup program like Synk, you can avoid most any catastrophic crash on your HD. I don't have my external drive running all the time. I only turn it on and mount it when I have some backups to perform.

Photo order for slideshow

I have a directory of 300 photos, numbered 1-300, which are in the order I want them in...they are not in date order at all. how can i preserve my order when pulling into the organizer in elements for slideshow creation?
a related topic...any batch renumbering utility in elements?

Hi,
I'm not too clear on how you have numbered the photos. If you have just renamed each photo with the number then there could be a problem in ordering the photos in PSE. In PSE, the folder view displays the photos in alphabetic order not numeric order.
So, photos could appear in a different order:-
Numeric order : 1, 2, 10, 20
Alphabetic order : 1, 10, 2, 20
When renaming photos, to preserve the order for other viewers, it is best to use leading zeros to pad each number (e.g. 001, 020, 300).
To get them int PSE, just do Get Photos and Videos -> From Files and Folders and point to the folder containing the photos. Note that the getting of the photos does not take a copy of the photos, it just catalogs them.
Once they have been imported, switch to Folder Location in the Display options (top right) and select the folder where your photos are. If you have the naming right, the photos should appear in the correct order.
Now create an Album tag and apply it all the photos.
You can now switch to Thumbnail View in the Display options (my preferred view to work in) and if you select the album tag, the photos should be displayed in the correct order. In album view, you can drag the photos around into the order you want.
When you want to create you slideshow, just select all the photos in the album.
Personally, I don't bother renaming photos, I just import them into PSE and select the ones I want and allocate an album tag to them. In album view, I then move the photos around into the order I want and then create the slideshow.
For you last topic, why do you want to renumber the photos? There is the Export facility which enables you to copy the photos to an new folder and you can apply a sequence number.
Hope that the above was helpful

Slideshow Viewer with music - Flex example code??

Hello.
I am not a Flex programmer at this time. I have only started looking at it because a client of mine wants a slideshow viewer that fades between images and plays music on her website. The site is done with simple PHP. Can someone point me in the right direction? I have no problem learning Flex but I need this asap.
Thanks in advance,
Noble

Noble -
There's no point in reinventing the wheel for that solution...
This is a free flash-based slideshow app that will solve your problem quick, and if you dont like that one, try google'ing Flash-based slidewhow...
http://www.flshow.net/carousel_download.php - by the way, it is FREE
Flex would probably do what you want, but you would be a ways off from deployment, and learning it to solve this problem seems like overkill.
If this post answers your question or helps, please indicate above
