Photos rotate in Slideshow

I imported a batch of photos from my Canon camera into iPhoto. Some are vertical, others are horizontal. When I view them in the library or an album they are oriented correctly. I created a slideshow from them and when I view the photos in the photobrowser at the top of the slideshow edit page they are also oriented correctly.
However...
when I play the slideshow, the vertical photos are rotated to a horizontal position. What's going on? And is there an easy way to fix it? I have a LOT of vertical photos. I noticed I can go through each one and rotate it so it shows up horizontal in the photo browser, but then displays correctly during the slideshow. That seems crazy. If they look vertical in the photobrowser, then they ought to look the same way when the slideshow is played.

This has happened to me also - ONLY after upgrading to iLife '06. My camara is a Sony and doesn't have the option for auto-rotation enabled (doubt it even has such an option). I import into iPhoto '06 and manually rotate my profile images to their correct orientation. Playing the slideshow reveals them in landscape once more. If I use the rotation controls within the slideshow, this can be corrected - BUT if I close the slideshow and go back to iPhoto '06, the once correctly-oriented (before the slideshow) images now appear in landscape - in the OPPOSITE direction of their originally-imported landscape direction. So it looks like iPhoto '06 image orientation is not being relayed correctly to the slideshow.
Additionally, my settings for slideshow to NOT have music playing is not saved no matter how many times I revisit that option and click save after unchecking the "play music" box.
Looking forward to iLife '06.01!

Apple TV doesn't rotate photos correctly in slideshow

Hi,
In ATV OS 2.4, a new bug was introduced by Apple where photos taken in vertical portrait mode were not rotated correctly in the photos slideshow. In prior releases (v2.3 and earlier), there was not problem and portrait photos rotated just fine in slideshow mode (I've had an Apple TV since v1.0).
The problem is only in slideshow mode, because when you browse the photos in the viewer they are all rotated correctly, so any discussion about "you should go back and manually change your photo orientation on all your photos" is moot to me. If Apple TV can rotate them in the photo browser, and it used to rotate them correctly in slideshow, it can do it again as long as Apple fixes the bug.
What I'm wondering is when Apple is going to fix this problem. I am currently running ATV OS v3.0.1, and I assumed that since there were so many other posts on this issue since ATV OS v2.4 that they would have fixed it by now. But sadly, no. It is still a bug even in v3.0.1.
If anyone has any news about this problem from Apple, and what they intend to do about correcting it, please post.
I'm getting tired of turning my head sideways when I look at my slideshows.
Thanks!
My setup:
System: Dell Studio 17, Windows 7, iTunes 9.0.2
Photo Software: Adobe Photoshop Elements 8
Cameras: Canon XSi and Canon SD790IS

you should report the issue here - http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html
this is just a user-to-user support forum, with no input from apple.
no-one here will know when (or if) any particular issue is likely to be fixed (or not).

Auto-rotation of photos in iWeb slideshow

HI
How do I make iWeb to auto-rotate the photos in my slideshow. In the template I have both landscape and portrait photos. When I run the slideshow all photos are shown as landscape and thereby crop the photos in a weird way.

Then you'll have to try a different theme or different slideshow application. One that I like that has over 25 animated themes is PhotoPresenter. This demo page has examples of a number of the themes: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes

New upload issue - bad photo rotation on homepage upload

When I upload my homepage from iPhoto 5.02 to Homepage, some (but not all) the photos that I had rotated to portrait format have reverted to their original landscape format - so they are displayed sideways. They are all on the correct orientation in the page that iPhoto displays as you compose - it must be a problem somewhere in the upload.
Can anyone offer any help? Am I missing something? Or is this a new glitch in the upload process?
Paul G,

Further to this - a bit of perusal of the discussions under the searches "photo rotation" and "photo orientation" show a varying bunch of problems relating to differences of photo orientation between the full-size and the original. (I have checked, and my photos that Homepage is displaying wrongly also display wrongly within iPhoto in edit mode). They all seem to crop up in May - none before, with one exception; issues of photo rotation when syncing to iPod Photo, which crop up from Feb/March.
So my guess is that there was a fix for the iPod sync problem, that has thrown everything else out. Homepage uploads, slideshows, possibly photo-albums, export to iDVD - all the things that work off the (incorrectly oriented) full-size, rather than the correctly oriented thumbnail. (I expect the preview of Homepage works from the thumbnail, whereas the actually uploaded page is processed from the full-sized image).
Another factor might be that all (?) that specify their camera are using Canon, models that automatically embed camera orientation. They note that iPhoto used to orient the photos automatically on import, but now they need to manually rotate. Could just mean a lot of Apple users choose Canon though...
I've reported it as a bug, so I guess we just wait for 5.0.3. In the meantime, faulty homepages are an unfortunate public advertisement of an embarrassing Apple iGlitch.

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

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 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 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).

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.

How to publish a photo book and slideshow in iWeb

Is it possible to (or how do you) publish a photo book and slideshow in iWeb created either in Aperture or iPhoto?

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.

For a larger file, you can upload it to a folder on your server and create a link to it from your website.

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.

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?

Does the iTouch use the EXIF Orientation info for Photo Rotation?

Just got an 8GB iTouch. Adobe Photoshop Elements and other programs I use on my computer use the EXIF rotation data in the jpg created by my Canon SD500 camera to correctly orient the photo on my computer. The iTouch apparently does not. This seems to be a big missing item. I would not want to have to rotate portrait photos before sending to the iTouch! Orientation data has been used for years. Am I missing some setting or did Apple miss this feature?
So basically, landscape photos come up ok, but portrait photos come up 90 deg rotated. Then of course when you try to rotate the iTouch to see it correctly, the photo rotates another 90 deg because of the built in iTouch sensor. Very aggravating.

OK...
