Photo Magico Slide Show on my Sony Bravia via MBP

Hello,
before you all get upset: I have searched the forum already but I couldn't find the correct answer. I would like to connect my MBP to my 40 inch Sony Bravia to watch photo slide shows from Photo Magico.
Waht is the best connection not to loose any quality? I think whatever I will do it will never get to the TV as good as it is on my MBP. In other words: The use of HDMI connection is not really necessary?
Thanks

What you have is an extended desktop. If you move the mouse cursor off the edge of the MBP's screen you will see it appear on the TV. Similarly you can drag windows from the MBP's screen to the TV. At present the MBP's screen is the primary display and shows the menu bar and dock, and the TV is the secondary display. To change this go into System Preferences -> Displays -> Arrangement. You will see an image of two screens, a smaller one representing the MBP's display and a larger one representing the external display. At the top of the smaller screen in the image is a bar, this represents the menu bar at the top of the screen. Drag it from the smaller screen to the larger screen. The external display will become the primary display and the menu bar and dock will appear there and any new windows or applications that you open subsequently will appear there too.
davscanlon's suggestion to use mirroring will work, but you won't be using the native resolution of the TV which could result in fuzziness or bluriness of the image on the TV.

AppleTV: How can I see what song is playing if I am viewing my photos in slide show mode on Apple TV and streaming from my iTunes?

How can I see what song is playing if I am viewing my photos in slide show mode on Apple TV and streaming music from my iTunes?
Thanks.

Thank you Winston. I guess we need to ask that this feature gets added at least as an option in an upcoming release. When someone is using shuffle, it helps to know what is playing while viewing pictures.
Where is my Apple request button when one needs it ? :-) Cheers, C

I have a photo PDF slide show in an email. How do I get the photos into my camera roll on iPad ?

I have a photo slide show PDF file in an email. How to I transfer the photos in my camera roll on my iPad?

Well I guess you can press cmd + shift + 3 to take a picture of your whole screen or cmd + shift + 4 to take a picture of a selected area, that will create a file called "screen shot yyyy-mm-dd at hh:mm:ss.jpg" on your desktop then you just select those files and drag them into iPhoto.

Need help rotating photo in slide show...buttons aren't highlighted

I'm trying to create a slide show in Photoshop Elements 5.0. For some reason some of the pictures are showing up in my slide show with the wrong orientation. When I click on the picture, the buttons on the right side that allow you to rotate and do more editing won't highlight. Any tips would be helpful. Thanks!

Some questions to hopefully help us understand what is happening -
What is the file format of the files where photo shows in the wrong orientation and the buttons to rotate and edit are not available? - For example - are they jpg or psd or tif ? Are these portrait photos that are shown laying on their side?
Did you add these photos to the slide show from the Organizer or from a Windows folder? Some people have reported that not all functions are available to them when the photo is added to the slide show from a Windows folder.

Full Screen Photos In Slide Show & Other Questions

Hi - I'm using Premiere Elements 4. I have a few questions since I'm new to using the program. First of all, how do I get the photos to take up the whole screen (instead of showing a black border) when they are played back? They were taken on a 7.2 megapixel camera at the maximum quality setting. Also, the resolution is bad when it's played back but fine when you see the preview of the photos in the program. I've seen other posts about needing to change the resolution but I was wondering if I got the photos to play full screen if that might fix my problem because I can play the photos as a slide show in the Windows Photo Gallery Program and the resolution is perfect and the photos take up the whole screen.
Secondly, how do I delete a menu from the Disc Menus Section? Also, how would I delete the "Scene Selection" button from the menu screen that I want to keep? I want to be able to have a menu with just a "play all" button.
Thanks for your help.

The only way to remove Scene Menu button from Disc Menus is to physically remove it from the template by editing it (They're PSD files) in Photoshop Elements.
As for photos, DO NOT use photos from that 7.2 megapixel camera at full resolution, niagara. It's a sure recipe for disaster. RAther, per the FAQs at the top of this forum, rez those photos all down to no larger than 1000x750 pixels in size.

That done, you can get your photos to fill your screen one of two ways:
a) Leave the Default to Frame Size option checked in your preferences. The only case in which this won't work is if you're using 4:3 photos in a 16:9 widescreen project.
b) If this is the case, go to Edit/Preferences and uncheck Default to Frame Size BEFORE you import that photos into your project. (It won't work if you do it after.) Then, after placing each photo on your timeline, right-click on each, select Show Properties and, in Properties, open Motion and set Scale to 85%. Note that, because your photos and the widescreen have different aspect ratios, you will lose some of the vertical off the tops and bottoms of your photos.
There are many more ways to do it -- but it all depends on what you're trying to accomplish.

Photo gallery slide show - automatic start

I have created a web photo gallery in Adobe Bridge and successfully
opened it in my Dreamweaver site, but I want to the slide show to start automatically because it is on my
first page and I don't want people to have to click on the play button. Can someone tell me if this can be done and if so, how?
Thanks

Hi,
I will gladly help you with your problem but please give me a
link to your gallery wither as a private message or by email
([email protected]). The files here pasted are incorrect, look to
the SetSlideShowTimer() or the StartSlideShow() functions above
that are incomplete. Not mentioning that the CSS are really make
the difference.
It will take me more time to try to reconstruct your
structure, not having all the files you reference and probably not
being able to duplicate your problem because the deployment
failure.

Loading photo to slide show after movie has been created

Hi Everyone,
I created a slide show on iMovie and thought I was done so I created a movie through the Media Share feature (to eventually burn on iDVD). Then, I realized there was one photo I hadn't yet included; so I went back and tried to insert that photo but it won't let me. Does iMovie know that you've already "finalized" a project and not let you make any changes to it after that? Is there any way around this without having to do the entire show over again?
Thanks,
Jen

Hey Dazlari,
I'm so sorry but I actually can't remember what I did! I haven't used iMovie for over a year. I'm not that tech savvy though so it couldn't have been that hard to do :-)
Keep experimenting...I hope you figure it out!
Best wishes,
Jen

Can you download music to burn on cd with photos as slide show?

Hi, I have a funeral for my father in law in less than 12 hours and I am trying to find a site that I can download the music to my desktop, combine it with photos and create a slide show for the services. I need to know if I can do that with Apple if I buy the songs one and two; can anyone tell me how to combine the 2? I have all the photos ready, I just need to obtain the music. Any expedient assistance would be so greatly appreciated.

If you have an iOS device the iMovie app would be perfect. You can probably do something similar with Windows Movie Maker which should already be on your computer though you may need to convert the format of the audio files before adding them in. I can't offer detailed advice for either but YouTube will no doubt have some short tutorials.

Deleting Photos in slide show modus trashes the wrong photos

In my Library are 13500 photos. Some good, many not so good. I find it comfortable to delete some of them by browsing a slide show, but when looking into the trash I was very surprised that I found photos that I for sure not deleted even not viewed...
one example: let´s say I want to delete photo "01.jpg" and photo "girl45-1" (it depends not on the names).... and I delete them by pressing the "delete-key" on the keyboard...
In the trash bin in iPhoto I found: photo "01.jpg and "car.jpg" (just an example)
This behavior is identical on both Macs.

Import photos from slide show cd

I have a cd slide show that was given to me that was created with lightroom. How do I import the pictures to lightroom3? When I try to import it shows no photos because they are embeded in the slide show application.

What format is the slidshow in?
If it is a pdf, then you can open it in PS (as long as it hasn't been security protected) and extract each image as a individual file.
If it is in a video format, you will need to open it in a video editor and create stills from each image.

PSE 7: How do I turn off the automatic text insertion on photos in slide show

When I create a slide show, PSE 7 creates text on each slide that states my cameras name: "SAMSUNG DIGITAL CAMERA" How do I turn-off this feature?

In the settings dialogue when you start the slideshow, uncheck the "Include Captions" box.

Import photos for slide show, in order, to key frames?

How can you import a folder of images straight into the timeline as a sequence of key frames for a slide show?

Steve,
in flash cs3:
make sure images are in a folder.
go to file.
select import.
select import to stage.
flash will display a message: File appears to be part of a sequence of images. Do you want to import all of the images in the sequence?
obviously you answer yes.
you shoud be good to go.

Connecting my macbook pro 13" to Sony bravia via mini Displayport to HDMI

Hi,
yesterday I bought a new LCD TV Sony Bravia KDL-32EX600 (Full-HD LED) that has 4 x HDMI inputs.
I also bought a mini Displayport to HDMI and HDMI to HDMI cable.
When I connect it to my computer, the screen goes blue for a second and it doesn't recognise any additional displays. There's also no video or sound in the TV, on the right HDMI channel. (I've tried every HDMI input and every channel)
I've tested the TV with another laptop that has straight HDMI output from the gfx card and it works perfectly.
I have up-to-date MacOS and I also upgraded my TV's firmware to the latest.
I thought that maybe the miniDisplayport to HDMI connector is broken but why does the computer try to do something when I turn on the correct channel on the TV?
I'm out of ideas..

Hi madhenry,
I know it's a month on from your post, but I thought I'd add that I'm having exactly the same problem. I'm trying to connect my new MacBook Pro (15" core i7) to my Sony Bravia KDL-40EX600 using a mini displayport to HDMI adapter. When I plug the cable in, the MBP screen goes blue for one second then goes back to normal, but the system just doesn't detect the external display.
I've tried the MBP on other monitors and it works fine, so there is nothing wrong with the adapter or cable.
I've also tried plugging two other Macs into the TV (a 2008 15" MacBook Pro and a 2008 MacBook) and the TV works great with both of them.
So, it seems there's something specific to the new MacBook Pros that makes them incompatible with the Sony EX600 TVs.
I just talked to AppleCare about it and after trying a few things (resetting the PRAM, etc.) I was simply told that there's nothing wrong at all with the Mac and that this is simply a "compatibility" issue that I have to put up with. So, it looks like we're out of luck until (hopefully) a new Mac OS update fixes the issue.
