PSE 10 slide show

When I upload my slideshow PSE10 to my gallery page, some of the pics in the slide show are turned upside down or to the side. How can I fix this?

Hi. Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Photoshop Elements forum for specialized attention to your situation.

"Invalid file" error playing PSE Slide show with audio through TV via DVD...

I have just made a slide show with audio and burned it to CD using photoshop elements....it will play on my laptop but when I try to play it through the TV via a DVD it tells me that the file is invalid.

VCD is an old format that is largely deprecated these days. Fewer and fewer devices understand it. If you have a burner, try outputting your slideshow as a wmv file and using whatever else you have to burn it to a dvd. Even windows movie maker or something like that.

PSE 7 Strips Out Slide Show Music

I have created a PSE 7 slide show of about 150 pictures. I have included a music track as background while the slides play. I full screen preview the slide show and all is good -- I can also save and go out of PSE 7 then go back in and open the slide show and re-preview and all is still good. I then select to output the slide show to DVD and let PSE and Premier run their standard course to get to a burned DVD. All is good, no errors, and the process completes ending in a burned DVD.
Problem is that near the beginning of the process, when PSE 7 creates the .wmv file, it strips out the music track for the slide show. I know this is where the problem occurs because I have gone in and played the .wmv file in Windows Media Player and the slides are fine but no music.
I have done the exact same thing with only 6 slides and music is in fact included. The burned DVD of that small slide show plays fine and with music.
What is going on??? Does making a slide show with 150 pictures push the limits of what PSE 7 can handle, even though I get no error messages???
Thanks!

PSE slide show has some issues with high resolution images. Please reduce the size of the image 1000 x 700 and create/burn DVD.

PSE 9 Slide Show error message

I get message "The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor installed Codec) when I try to add a song from Itunes library to a slideshow. What doies this mean? How do I fix it? I tried in on my Dell and Toshoba laptops. Same thing happened. Thanks.

Whats wrong with this PSE process - anyone know?
more information may help analyze your problem
1 -- What are the pixel dimension of the photo files that are used in this slide show ?
2 -- Did you add Pan or zoom when making the PSE slide show ?
3 -- When you say you exported to Premiere Elements,
-- did you only make the DVD menus and burn the DVD disc in Premiere Elements ? OR
-- did you also Edit the video in Premiere Elements using its Timeline or Scenes functions ?
4 -- Are you creating the DVD as Widescreen (16:9) or as Full Screen (4:3 aspect ratio) ?
General comments --
Since you are creating a DVD (which is standard definition with pixel dimensions of 720 x 480 for NTSC in USA or 720 x 576 for PAL) inputing a high pixel resolution photo file to the slide show process can actually produce a lesser quality image in the DVD video in the final image. Generally recommended are using a photo editor for downsizing the photofile resolution to approx 1000 x 750 for 4:3 aspect ratio before you start making the slide show.
If you respond that you did use pan or zoom and you respond that you worked with (edited) the slide show video in Premiere Elements,
-- then there is a Premiere Elements parameter of Scale to Framesize that may be a significant factor in why you see pixelation.
-- Also it will be good to check the Premiere Elements project setting
When playing a DVD on a high resolution screen (either HD TV or computer monitor) the effectiveness of the upscaling hardware or software doing the playback is a factor in the quality of image that you see. I don't suspect that this is your only problem, but it can be a factor.

PSE 9 Slide Show pixelated

I have created a slide show in PSE 9 with sharp JPEGs of @ 3MG each.
When viewing the photos in full screen, they are badly pixelated.
Any ideas? Thanks.

PSE 7 Slide Show Music

I am using PSE 7 to create a slide show. I am attempting to add music but cannot seem to download songs from my itunes library where most of my music is stored. I am runnig Windows 7 and have been able to download from my Windows mucic folders. Is there a way to import music from an itunes library? Any advice would be appreciated.

Best way to create slide shows in PE4 and PSE 6

What's the best way to create a fancy slide show in PE 4 and PSE 6? I need to create a slide show of about 600 pictures. I'm on Windows XP with 3gb RAM. I've done this a few years ago in earlier versions of PE and PSE. Before i plunge into this again i wanted to get some overall guidance for what to do or not do.
My ultimate goal is to create a slide show that:
1. uses pan and zoom on every photo
2. transitions between every photo
3. has an audio track
4. has some nice special effects -- words and graphics that appear on slide at precisely the right moment to match the song, and stay on the screen as one slide transitions to another. i want the text to be able to move and fade in and out.
My view is that it's easy to accomplish #1-3 in PSE 6; it's quite simple to create a slide show, add pan and zoom, and transitions. However, #4 is not doable because adding text and graphics can only be done on a slide at a time and only when the slide start/stops (i.e., you can't have text appear 2 secs after the slide has started displaying and stay on screen while the next slide appears). Need PE 4 to do that.
What i'm wondering is:
-- is it best to create the basic slide show in PSE6 and then export to PE 4 to do the final fancy stuff, or is it best to just create the show in PE4? Seems that doing the pans, zooms, and transitions are easiest in PSE 6.

eric,
I am going to offer some reasons NOT to start this slide show in Photoshop Elements. This is despite the fact that I have used the workflow of starting in Photoshop Elements and used the Send Slideshow to Premiere Elements in PSE5 - PE 3 and PSE7 - PE7.
1- Timing differences between the PSE and PE slide show construction and processing
There are many differences in timing between the two products. Transitions can start/end slightly offset from their timing in PSE once they arrive and are processed in PE. Same for pan and zoom. Does this matter? Well the more precise your timing, the more potential for a show stopper.
Example: one person who wanted continual motion using pan and zoom needed to go modify the transition positioning and the keyframing of the pan/zooms on every single slide after sending a slideshow from PSE to PRE.
2- your requirement to
"words and graphics that appear on slide at precisely the right moment to match the song, and stay on the screen as one slide transitions to another. i want the text to be able to move and fade in and out."
You can't really sync the audio to a slide in PSE. The text can't move or fade in/out. I think that it will be more grief to retrofit these functions to a slide show that was created in PSE than it will be to do the all the work in Premiere Elements.
3- "Add the sound track for the ENTIRE slide show (this will be longer than i currently have slides for because i don't have all the photos"
I am suspicious that adding the ENTIRE sound track in one PSE slide show will not work.
I have done multiple sends from PSE slide show editor to Premiere Elements. However, I decided on the approach of using no audio in the PSE slideshow editor and adding Audio in Premiere Elements AFTER sending all the slide shows.
Again, your objective of syncing specific photos to music points is good artistically - but I am concerned that it will make your PSE to PRE workflow problematic.
4- "as new photos arrive, do the arrangement/pans/zooms in PSE and move them to PE"
As Steve mentioned when you do subsequent sends of the slideshow, it appends to the end - does not seem to fit your objective of replacing part of the middle.
Also if you get new photos in for the second section of the slideshow - but over in Premiere Elements you had already made other changes in the second section. There is no function to combine new changes doen in PSE and changes done in PE for that same "section" of the slideshow.
5- you did not say whether you will be outputting this slide show in Full Screen or Widescreen format. Will you be burning a DVD? If you will be doing widescreen output, additional problems with specifying pan/zoom in PSE have been identified on various forums because the PSE pan/zoom boxes are not widescreen aspect ratio.
Conclusion:
Some of my comments here are definitely subjective - however, it is my overall conclusion that your objectives and work plan are not a good fit for the Photoshop Elements slide show editor to Premiere Elements workflow.
My perspective on the Photoshop Elements slide show editor is that it is designed to simple, quick and easy. Therefore it has limitations.

Trouble adding iTunes songs to slide show displays

When displaying a group of photos in a slide show (view photos in full screen), I am unable to use my iTunes songs. I know how to "browse" and add the sample music from my music files (and that works fine), but it won't work w/my iTunes songs. I click on the iTunes file and it shows me the artists. I can then click on the folder and choose one of the songs. However, when I try to "Select" or "Open" the song, the title of the song disappears and it reads "No items match your search".
I am able to open and listen to my iTunes songs when I am not in PSE. I have PSE 7, and am new to PSE.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

My guess is that your songs in iTunes are not in a file format that PSE can use - what format are they? And they might also have DRM (digital rights) restrictions.
I suggest that you try using iTunes to burn an mp3 file of one of the songs that you wish to use and then try that mp3 file in the PSE slide show.

Sequence order of a Slide Show exported?

I just spent some time reordering 86 pictures in a slideshow in an order I like. Now I'd like to make a web gallery in the same order. I "Share" my pictures with myself via email to get 640X480 Jpegs but they retain the file names my camera gave them and assume that order when I use Adobe Photoshop's Batch Web Photo Gallery Action Hero. Can that Slidewhow be made into a web gallery, album, book, or...? Or should I have done my sequencing in an Album first. Thanks.

Since you have the symptom of black images for slide show editor preview playback and the output file, I wonder
1 -- if the Windows userid under which you are running has Administrator authority ?
If not, then using an Administrator userid may solve your problem.
It has been a relatively common problem in various versions of PSE to have the black screen on the playback within the PSE slide show editor if you run under some type of limited authority Windows userid. Then the problem of no image in the output video also happens.
2 -- What version of PSE and what operating system are you running?
If point 1 did not resolve your problem .....
What other versions of PSE (including trials) have you had installed on this computer ? Which version of PSE was installed most recently ?
There have been some experiences where installing a new version of PSE (even a trial) looses some settings required for the slideshow editor of a previously installed version.

Slide shows on DVD

I compiled and burnd a DVD with 5 slideshows and 1 movie using iMovie5 and iDVD5. Why can I not pause the slideshows as I can the movie? I would like to look at some slides (especially maps) longer than the few seconds given by the application.

Just output the slideshow as a .wmv file and import it to the program of your choice to create the final video dvd.
If you are running Vista Home Premium or Windows 7, it includes a program of Windows DVD Maker, which can make the TV playable DVD disc using the WMV file from the PSE slide show editor.
Use a good quality DVD disc : DVD-R discs seem to be the most universally accepted by TV DVD players.

Slide Shows on TV DVD Players

I have old family photos, which I've scanned, loaded into PSE8, set dates, and created captions. I've also organized them into albums. Now I want to create a DVD slide show that my parents can play on their DVD without using a computer.
Seems I need some Adobe product called Premiere to do that. Do I have that right? If so, is it an seperate product that I can add at minimal cost, or do I need to now buy a bundled package of PSE and Premiere?

Elements 7 Slide Show - resolution

I am doing a slide show for the first time. Photos were clear on the screen until I put them in the slide show. In the slide show, they are no longer sharp when I run the slide show on my computer. I need to put these on a disc to be shown on a screen for a group to watch. Is there something I can do to make the pictures clearer?
If you can help me, please use very basic steps. I am very new to using this. Thank you!

please post some additional information
(I know these are alot of questions, but we do need more information. So just ask if you do not understand my questions.)
- post the specific choices that you made when you did the Output command from the PSE slide show editor.
-- what is the resolution of the monitor on which you did the slideshow playback ?
-- what software did you use for playback and did you play back at full screen ?
I need to put these on a disc to be shown on a screen for a group to watch.
We also need more information on the method of playback for viewing by the group.
Projector hooked to a PC? What software on the PC will be used for playback? What is the resolution setting for the projector?
As an example, when I play back in a classroom where the projector is connected to a computer running Windows and playback is done using the Windows Media Player software, I found I get best results if I match the output of the wmv file that I create from PSE slide show editor to the resolution at which the projector will be set.
However, if the disc that you will be creating is a standard video DVD and the playback will be from a DVD player or DVD playing software, then you don't have a choice on resolution - it needs to be DVD-NTSC (in the USA). In that case it is better to evaluate playback quality using DVD player software on your PC instead of evaluating full screen slideshow preview within PSE.

Completed a slide show - won't play the audio

I have completed a slide show and added 3 songs. The songs are showing up on the audio bar at the bottom, but when I do full-screen preview there is no audio. My speakers are working fine, i'm able to play songs from other programs. I am working in PS Elements 9 on Windows 7.
And another question, if i want to burn the slide show onto a DVD - what type should I buy?
Thank you.

1 - I suggest that you post information about the format of the music files that you are using in this slide show. Also include whether these files have any album art (which has been known to create problems within the slideshow process).
And I wonder - did you import these music files to the Elements Organizer and if yes, can you play each of these music files from within the Organizer ?? If not, try importing one music file which will not play in the slideshow preview to the Organizer then attempt to play it within the Organizer. (why - sometimes playing a music file from within the Organizer is a good indication of whether the slide show editor can use this music file)
2 - You are asking about burning a slideshow to a DVD - I suspect that you want to burn your slideshow to a DVD that will play in your TV DVD player and Photoshop Elements does not supp[ort the function of creating this type of TV playable DVD. Adobe Premiere Elements is a separate video software product which does support creating TV DVD player DVDs. However, I suggest that you read my next point before purchasing Adobe Premiere Elements - because there is a simpler process you can try now.
3 - your Windows 7 software license provides a program of Windows DVD Maker which can be used to create a TV playable video DVD format.
Using Windows DVD Maker with the PSE slide show editor is a 2 step process -
- First, create a WMV file output (standard definition 640 x 480) from the PSE slideshow editor:
- Second, use that .wmv file (which you saved on your computer hard drive) as input to the MS Windows DVD Maker software.
4- Both for troubleshooting and for future potential use with Windows DVD Maker, I suggest that within the PSE Slideshow Editor you do the Output command to create a .wmv file (640 x 480 standard definition), give it a name and save it on your hard drive. Then attempt to play that .wmv file using Windows Media Player. Do you hear the music with playback from Windows Media Player ?

Making A Slide Show To Burn To A DVD

His I just started using photshop elemnents 13 from a previous 11 version.
In the past I picked some 300 slides to make a slide show with music and then exported it to a WMV and then imported the WMV into premiere elements and burned a DVD. In phtoshop elements when I selected my slide and created a slide show I could choose how many seconds each slide, the color of the borders, the manner in which slide changed and I used random.
You could then do zoom in or out, make extra slide with information, add music and then save and export to a WMV and then import that into premiere elements and then burn a DVD.

Reason I thought PSE4 would burn to a DVD is, there is a button in the slide show screen that says "burn to DVD" in the PSE4 book we were reading.
If Premiere Elements 2 were also installed with Photoshop Elements 4, then it was possible to burn to DVD from the PSE 4 slide show editor by using Premiere Elements 2. Not all writing on that workflow made it obvious that the Premiere Elements software was required.
Would I be better off getting a different program for making slide shows? The pictures I'm trying to make into a slide show are from a 90th birthday party I shoot over the weekend and want to give out copies of a DVD to the guest.
Option 1
If you have already made a slide show in the Photoshop Elements slide show editor, then you might as well do some investigation of the alternatives.
-- What Windows operating system are you running ? If it includes Windows DVD Maker, then I would give that a try. Write your output of the slide show from PSE to a File - WMV - with Size of DVD,NTSC (or DVD,PAL if your TV is PAL format). Then use that WMV file as input to Windows DVD Maker.
-- If you don't have Windows DVD Maker then you could investigate whatever DVD software came with your PC.
FYI - One warning about the photo files that you use in that PSE slide show. If you use hundreds of high resolution photo files, then PSE can have problems. If your output will NOT be High Def (and yours probably will not be since you mentioned a DVD) then "downsizing" the photo files to approx 1000x 750 pixels will decrease the probablility of your having problems with the slide show.
Option 2
If you have not yet started the PSE slide show, then you might consider a program that many people like for slide shows ----- ProShow Gold from Photodex. It does have a trial.

Add Music to a Slide Show - Editing Together Multiple Clips

I want to create a slide show using three songs, and I need to trim each song. Is there a way to do this in Elements? If not, what software should I use to edit the music into one audio file that can be added to Elements? I can't seem to do that in Windows Media Player. Thanks!

Which version of Photoshop Elements ?
1 - The PSE slide show editor does have a very basic capability for trimming music.
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-photoshop-elements-8/getting-started-22-creating-a-slide-s how/
demonstrates using a trim of the audio which I think will also apply to other versions of PSE
2 - Do you also have Adobe Premiere Elements ? If yes, you could add your music and trim it within Premiere Elements.
3 - Or a free editor for audio for which I have heard recommendations is - Audacity.
I think that it would be capable of creating the single music file for your slideshow.

Adding videos to a slide show

I have added a video to my slide show in Elements 7 and when I try to preview the show, Photoshop completely closes. What is going on?

I plan on using a DVD player to view the show. I have tried Movie Maker but I could not figure out how to get the show off of my computer since a DV camera is required and I do not have one. The DVD software that came with my PC is Cyberlink PowerDVD. I cannot use this because I do not have a DVD burner.
Thank you.
You say that you do not have a DVD burner on your PC - so please explain in some detail how you plan to use the DVD player for your TV. For example, does your DVD player for the TV have a slot where you can insert a USB device? What is the make and model of the DVD player machine? Or did you mean that you will use DVD player software with your computer connected to your TV?
Movie Maker - you don't need a DV camera : you can output a WMV file from Movie Maker just as you can from the Photoshop Elements Slide Show Editor. The dilemma seems to be that neither of these programs will produce a video DVD conforming output.
Here are some ideas that I was developing - however, we do need to understand what type of output you have the capability to play in order to determine what will help for your specific situation:
I was thinking that an approach might be to make each section of slide show in PSE Slide Show Editor and separately output each as a separate WMV file. Then use Windows Movie Maker and layout sections of the slide show with your video files in between the slide show sections as you wish. Then you could output a single wmv file from Windows Movie Maker. Another alternative would be to do everything in Windows Movie Maker and not use the PSE slide show editor at all.
