Photos are layered
I am a newer user to iDVD and know just the basics with my computer. I created a slideshow and have previewed it several times and some (not all) of the photos are layers over one another. All of these photos were taken with my iphone so I don't understand why they are different sizes. I've messed with the transitions and that didnt fix anything. So now I'm totally lost and clicking boxes I probably shouldn't be clicking just to see if anything will fix it. Do I need to fix photos in iphoto before moving the pictures to iDVD? I created one last year and it worked out fine. HELP!
Can you give us some detailed info on your slideshow?
Where are you creating the slideshow?
In iDVD with still photos or in iPhoto and sharing it to iDVD?
What aspect ratio do the images have and are they all the same?
What format are the images?
What version of iDVD, iPhoto and the system are you running?
How many photos in the slideshow.
What Mac do you have and how much free space do you have on your hard drive?

My photos are not showing up as layers in the layers panel, only as one layer, so I am not able to make changes to the layers. Does anyone know why this is happening? Am I downloading them from my camera wrong? I have watched the video and the photos don't open that way on my layers panel. Any help would be appreciated, I would like to edit out the background and turn it a different color.

Photos from cameras or scans have only one layer (the 'background' layer).
You can start with that 'background' layer and duplicate it or add other layers in the editing process. For instance you can make a selection of a subject and put it on another layer; a common use is to desaturate the 'background' and to keep the color in the selected subject in your newly created layer. -
I have manipulated a photo using layers etc and then flattened it and saved it under a new name. When I use 'Preview' (mac) to view the finished photo it doesn't look right. It's as the layers have not flattened correctly. When viewed in Elements 12 it looks OK. The photo looks incorrect in other software such as photo books.
Looking at the same photo before flattening, what is being shown is only the top layer.

The top layer is indeed the one that is visible, unless there is/are area(s) of translucency on that layer, so that you can visualize a portion of the subjacent layer.

Are your settings targeted to have the printer manage colors, or, to have PSE manage colors? -
Hello
I know how to combine photos as layers.
However, I would like to delete some ares from one of the layers, and merge it with the first layer to one photo.
I used the brush tool, both black and white color, but all I get is black/white spots on each layer I use.
Can't I merge them to one photo, deleting the areas I would like to?
Thanks a lot

LG Nexus4 with Photoshop touch.Hello there-
It seems like you want to make a photo Composite. To start off there is a great PS Touch for Tablet tutorial here.
1. Below you can see I have two photos I would like to merge into "one". I selected an eraser tool to erase portion of the image I have selected. I will only need the woman's head, so erasing it is a great way to eliminate a portion of the painting.
2. Below you can see how I have just the woman's head remaining from the top layer. The painting below reveals the woman's hat, which I will next want to remove.
3. I am going to transform the size of the woman's head, by tapping the outlined tool.
4. Below I have changed the size of the woman's head. Tap the checkmark when you are done.
5. I am not going to eliminate the bottom layers woman's hat. By tapping the clone tool, I can clone the surrounding area to eliminate the hat.
6. Below you can see the woman's hat is now removed.
7. Now I am going to merge the layers. Tap the top layer, then the layer icon and tap the "merge" icon.
8. Select Merge Down > Done.
9. You now have created a composite.
Please let us know if you have any questions.

If I go to PS and add layers can I bring the photo with layers back to Lightroom?

This is more complicated than I expected: I had to go back to LR to check what I did previously. Here is what I found. I hope this helps to explain what can be done. You can have both layers and LR adjustments; you just cannot see the layers in LR nor can you see the LR adjustments in PS. The good news is that they are both there and can be changed as needed.
I have a photo (Raw) of a blue jay sitting on a branch with the background out of focus.
I made many of the usual LR edits such as exposure, contrast, whites, blacks, sharpening, etc.
I wanted to print it as a Birthday Card so I sent it to PSCC 2014 as a smart object.
In PS, I added a type layer "Happy Birthday"
Back in LR, I now have a psd Happy Birthday file stacked with the original raw file.
Fine and as yet, no ADDITIONAL LR edits AFTER rendering right?
I made some LR adjustments to the psd file such as crop to a different aspect ratio and add a vignette.
I printed the psd file on a folded card.
So far so good, you're still in LR. LR can take the new edits made there AND the layers and spit out a print. Nothing new or special here.
Later I wanted to use that same image as a anniversary card.
I told LR to edit that same psd file in PSCC 2014, this time not a smart object, but selecting "Edit Original".
You got your original layered file. Nothing new or special here.
PS opened with the "Happy Birthday" type layer intact and with the smart object background layer. Of course, the LR edits, crop and vignette on the psd file were not visible in PS.
Because they don't exist there! They will when you render them.
I clicked the eye of the Happy Birthday to render it invisible.
I added a new "Happy Anniversary" type layer.
Saved the new revised psd file and returned to LR.
In LR, I still have only 1 psd file stacked with the original raw file, but now it says Happy Anniversary. Note: sometimes it may take a few moments for the new PS edits to appear. By selecting another image and then reselect this psd file tends to speed this rendering of the new image.
So where in all this is the LR edits you produce AFTER up created the layers after opening the layered doc in PS?
I now have a new card ready to print just as before with all the LR edits originally made on the birthday card including the LR edits, crop and vignette made on the original psd file.
And as far as I can tell, all those edits were applied in PS AFTER rendering.
If I send that psd file a third time to PS, I still have the smart object layer, and both type layers. I can add a 3rd type layer "Happy Easter" if I so desire and return to LR.
Again, the crop and vignette are seen in the one psd file in LR.
So...yes, I can have both layers AND LR adjustments including the original raw adjustments through the smart object background.
No, you have a layered file and you have instructions but the layered file isn't rendered with those instructions and doing so would flatten the results. -
After migrating data from Time Machine, some of my photos are not showing up in iPhoto LIbrary view. I get a 'dashed rectangle." When I click on it I get ' ! in a Triangle" When I click on that, I actually can see the photo. I want to see all my photos in 'Library' view, and I can't figure out how these photos seem to be arbitrarily hidden. Help, please.
Try these for the first attempt:
First be sure to have a backup copy of the library if you already don't have one.

I received your emai stating that my photos are safe and are present in the folder on your computer that you specified when importing them. If you used Photoshop Album Starter Edition to import your files from the camera without changing the default folder, look in this folder. I have tried looking in the default folder and there is nothing there to help. Some of these photos were scanned in from my Cannon Printer. Surely if Adobe are requesting me to register and telling me they will send me a code no. that is all that needs to be done.

How to compare Elements to CS5 or 6?
Can I upgrade from Elements to CS?
Is Elements 13 comes in DVD format?
I'm interested in upgrading my Elements 10 to????
Your advise please?
I'm so sorry, but in today's world, the support of low cost products through personal contact has become very uncommon. It simply does not pay to sell a product for $50 or $100 and then pay people to sit in cubicles to talk on the phone that may cost $50 or $100 an hour.
That said, I'll try to help for free!
CS5, CS5.5 and CS6 are products from the past that, as far as I know are not being updated or maintained. Adobe has replaced them with the "Creative Cloud" or "CC". So, if you want a current version of "Premier CC", you "rent" it for $20 a month. For $50 a month, you can rent everything Adobe makes for photogrphers, videographers, designers and graphic artists.
If "upgrade" means "get a cheaper price", no.
The easiest way to buy the DVD version of Elements 13 is to order it from a major retailer like B&H Photo or Amazon. I've checked and both have it. The cheapest way to buy it is to wait for holiday season pricing. -
Lightroom says photos are already in folder - but they aren't
Hello lightroom users,
Am hoping you can shed some light onto a problem I'm having. I had to move my lightroom folders between external harddrives and in doing so, the folders seem to have duplicated, with the photos shared between them. So I have my 2013 folder twice (with subfolders by date) and my photos are spread between the two folders.
I obviously don't want two folders for 2013, so I am trying to move the photos from one set into the other. Unfortunately, an error prompt appears each time, saying that the photos I am trying to move already exist in the other set. They don't! They are missing from the other set.
Is the problem that the folders/subfolders share the same name? In which case, would it suffice to change the names of the folders (how do I do that)? How can I fix this?! Thanks so much for your help, I am at my wit's end. ..Email clients only interact with the Inbox on POP email servers.

Hello Support Group!
All of my photos are in folders under the "Finder", "Favorites", "Pictures" category on my IMac. ( Mac OSX version 10.7.5) Each folder has sequentially numbered photos to keep them in order for viewing. For example, my folder titled " Travel - Hong Kong 2004" has 50 photos in it showing the trip from start to finish, each photo numbered 111, 112, 113, etc. I do not use any 0's, so the numerical sequence will go 118, 119, 121, 122. This process works well to keep the photos of my trip in sequence when I am looking at them on my IMac.
When I watch the same folder on my Apple TV the photos are displayed randomly. The Apple TV is instructed not to shuffle the photos on slideshow. Can anyone tell me how I can get my photos to show in sequence on Apple TV? My Apple TV is Model MC 572C/A and the software is 5.2.1 (6025) updated today. Thanks very much!
Doug MayI can't recall whether slideshows are ordered by title or date, but you can manually re-arrange the albums in iPhoto, then batch change them once you have the order you want.

Within the last 36 hours my photo albums have turned into a real jumbled mess. Random photos have appeared at the bottom of my Recently Added album. In most cases it's a copy of a photo that was taken months or years ago so now it appears twice.. 200 random photos have appeared in an unrelated album. Some photos are missing completely. The date order is correct in some places and then it goes back and forth over the months and years. The "collections" appears to be okay. This morning when I went into the photo app About 50 photos that were permanently deleted 3 months ago reappeared on the Recently Added Album which I deleted again. if I delete these irreplaceable photos from the unwanted album it will delete the photo completely. Help please - this is so annoying and frustrating. I hate to think when I turn the iPad on tmoor row what else will have changed .
Quick Update:
I usually have my Mac laptop up with Messages running on it. As you know, it will receive the same messages you send/receive on your iPhone. I thought all my old photos would be there too, but they have all disappeared as well except for the last few.
Messages is supposed to archive all old photos to a directory called ~/Library/Messages/Attachments. On my mac, this was a 0 byte file that was created back in Jan 2014. As a result, none of the old photos got saved on my Messages app either. I looked at a Time Machine Backup and it has been the case since September (no earlier backups available). So, it's unclear how long this issue has been going on for my Messages app and how related it is to my iPhone problem.
In any case, if any of you use Messages, you may be able to recover your photos in that directory provided it didn't get trashed like mine did. I moved the file and created a new Attachments directory. Upon relaunch, Messages started properly storing new photos in there again.
Either there was a really terrible bug in the Apple software or something malicious has happened.
P.S. I'm running OS 10.9.5 Mavericks. There is a thread of people with this problem on Yosemite here:

At the AT&T store. Tried using iCloud but only 120 songs were transferred and when I access my iTunes account now it only shows 120 and not the 450 anymore that I purchased on my old phone. Tried to sync again from the phone to iTunes and it still not working.
I purchased everything under the same apple ID account I called apple support and spent almost 2 hours with tech support for assistance and we got disconected and they never called me back.
I'm at the point where I'm about to never purchase anything anymore from apple go to another company retrieve every single charge made on my bank account from iTunes and file a law suit against the company. It's being a week that I called for assistance and no one called me back to help me with this matter even after I responded a survey with a complaint about not getting a resolution to my problem.
If you could please help me I will appreciate, I'm out of the country now and can't stay on the phone for a long time.
I need to sell my old phone but as right now besides all my bank statements the old phone is the only evidence that I purchased the songs. -
I am new to PSE 12 and am trying to import my photos from folders on my desktop which I have organized by the categories I had in my previous program (Creative Memories). Many of my photos are located in multiple folders, i.e. one photo could be in "Family," Vacations" and "Birthdays." When I try to import the contents of each folder on my desktop I am often getting the message that many of my photos were not imported as they are already in my catalog. Is there a way that I can import any one photo multiple times so that it ends up in all the folders I want it to be in? I know I can locate the photo in PSE and copy it to a different folder(s), but there are so many not being imported that this would be a huge task!
By design, the organizer (and any other database management systems) is there to prevent you from duplicating your media files. The catalog management allows you to have the same image in different categories or albums. Duplication in different folders is to be absolutely avoided.
The same image file can have multiple tags like 'family', 'vacations', 'birthdays' and be present in three different albums with the same names. On obvious advantage is less disk space. Another one with your present folder system is that if you edit one of your duplicates, the other ones are unchanged.
I don't see an easy way to make your present folder structure simplified for the organizer ... -
HELP, HELP, I am having difficulty making a DVD-R of some photos I have in one of my folders in iPhoto 11. I use iPhoto on my external HD. I have never had problems before today making copies of my photos using DVD-R disk. I am doing the same thing that worked before. Some of my photos are going to be put in a gallery for showing and I need to make a DVD so they can choose which ones to display and enlarge the photos. It was due TODAY! Yikes! At the end of each try I get a window saying "BURN FAILED - The burn to the OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5670S drive failed. The disk drive didn't respond properly and can't recover or retry." help...........
How are you getting the photo onto the disk to burn? Have you tried exporting then to a folder on the Desktop and then burning that folder to disk using the Finder. That will give you a data disk with just the jpeg image files in the folder.
If that's what you're doing and getting the burn failed then it's a system or optical drive issue.
If you're using the Share ➙ Burn menu in iPhoto that will create a disk with a mini iPhoto library on it that can only be used by another Mac running iPhoto.
Can you elaborate on your workflow.
