PSE 6 slide show photos too large for TV screen

I have been collecting, scanning and saving family photos for over a year to create a slide show for my 81 yr. old Dad. I create a slide show with PSE 6, save to a CD and play on the TV. No matter what pixel size I resize the photos to they are still too large for the TV screen - not just one TV screen but different ones I try. I loose heads at the top, feet at the bottom, people on the sides. I have been researching but have not found the answer to solve my problem. Anyone have the answer or some suggestions I would be very appreciative. Thanks.

Well, first of all, choose the right resolution and frame-rate...
Are you working in NTSC (30 fps), or PAL (25 fps)...?
Use one of the common DV formats /
if you choose HD, 1080i, then your TV must be able to recognize that format,
otherwise images get cut off...
Format Rectangular Size Square Size
DV NTSC................................................720x480.............................. ...720x540
DV PAL...................................................720x576............................ .....768x576
HDV 720p..................................................NA................................. ....1280x720
HDV 1080i.................................................NA................................. ....1920x1080
Stay with your chosen format through-out your whole project...
(PNG, TIFF or PSD), import those files into your video editor.
Depending on the Operational System (Mac or Windows), one has many choices...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_editing_software
After editing, import those files into your chosen Authoring software for burning,
they will take care of the appropriate compression.
(I would recommend burning to DVD, not CD, one will achieve much better quality...

HT1338 Since having my Macbook Pro attached to a large display screen, everything is too large for the screen. Is there a cure please?

Today I had my Mac linked to a projector screen, and since disconnection evrything from the desk top onwards has been too large for the screen. Before that evrything was perfect. I have tried zoom buttons etc, but nothing seems to work. Any help gratefully rceived.

So it's not the Zoom feature? Open System Preferences Universal Access pane Seeing tab. Make sure Zoom is turned OFF.
If it's not that, then you may have the resolution set so that it is not optimal for the built-in display. Open System Preferences Displays pane Display tab. The optimal resolution is usually the one at the top of the list of choices.

I updated to iTunes 11 on my Windows PC. Since the update, when I open iTunes its window is too large for my screen. Resizing is a pain, because I have to change my screen resolution. And when I restart iTunes,it has reverted back to being too large.Help!

I recently updated to iTunes 11 on my Windows PC. Since the update, each time I open iTunes its window is too large for my screen. Resizing it is a pain, because I have to change my screen resolution. And then when I restart iTunes, it has reverted back to being too large. Please help!

Having the same issue here....a quick fix is to just minimize the window, and immediately maximize it. It will now fit the screen. Trouble is, after you close it, you'll have to do it again when you re-start itunes. The good news is it takes all of about 2 seconds. Apple should fix this. Should.

TS1717 Everytime i open Itunes in windows 7 despite me specifying maximised it opens in window that is always too large for the screen. EVen windowing the frame and then remaximiseing puts the buttons outside the edge of the screen

Every time i open Itunes it starts in a window that is too large for the screen (despite me setting "start maximised" in the launch options). Then hitting the "maximise" button expands the window slightly pushing all the buttons and edge of the frame out of the screen and behind the taskbar at the bottom. I have to move the window to a place where i can resize it smaller than the screen then and only then does maximising the window fit it properly to the screen.

Okay, I just opened up Itunes this evening and it's not working again! Sheeshy Peetz!
HOWEVER, this time I followed some different steps and got it working.
(1) Uninstall Quicktime
(2) Uninstall Itunes
(3) Re-download Both
(4) Install Quicktime First! (Read #6 below first though)
(5) Install Itunes Next! (Read #6 below first though)
(6) Here is the CAVEAT for me: I have an SSD as my C:\Drive, which is where I originally installed both of them. So this time, I installed both Quicktime and Itunes to a Non-SSD drive, which was one of my SATA Drives.
(7) Start Itunes and Test your Movies now. For me I was able to play them finally. Who knows how long this will last lol.
Maybe this work for someone.

Photo too large for drop zone

Often when I drag a photo into the drop zone of a main menu, the photo goes in but is displayed so large that much of the subject is cropped out. Anyone have a way of shrinking the photo down so that the entire photo can be seen in the menu?

I have found that size of the photo is rarely a problem. The problem is simply getting that portion of the photo you are interested in to show. The drop zone photo areas are small, therefore, you generally are placing photos of people that were taken from distances of 5 to 10 feet. The faces are the key to being satisfied with the photo in the drop zone ( or the car, or the motorcylcle, etc.) FORTUNATELY, you can drop the photo in the zone, and then place your cursor on the photo and move it around so that exactly the area of the photo you are concerned with will show! By moving my photos ( in effect a cropping occurs without the loss of any part of the photo. It would be like looking at a 4X6" photo and placing a 1X3" frame on it. Move the frame around to get what you want and VOILA! Hope this enables you to accomplish your drop zone objective.

PSE Workspace too large for screen

I'm using PSE v.11 with OSX on an iMac.
The PSE workspace is too large for the screen e.g. the five icons to the left of "Add Event" on the lower control bar are not visible.
Have noted previous discussions have mentioned a "green button" - what's that ?
Help appreciated.

But I'd try going to system prefs>displays and changing your resolution a few times till it snaps into place. You aren't running this on a first generation macbook air, are you?

OS10.3.1 a disaster! Among other things, the dsplay is too large for screen

I do not like OS 10.3 ! After my Z10 was updated to 10.3.1.1779 about a month ago, I access it because the password entry keyboard displayed for about 1/10 sec leaving a black screen.
After a device reset the device the keyboard remained visible but did not respond to touches (actually it did respond randomly to some). Finally another reset gave me a usable keyboard.
But the device always opens with an icon display about 20% too large for my screen and requires several shrink attempts before the proper size displays. Each attempt simply bounces back to the oversize state.
Unfortunately, this also happens with every app (including "Settings") opened. Yesterday, I couldn't return to the main of Settings because the sub-page wouldn't shrink to expose the "<' button - a close and re-open was the only way to get back to the main page.
Other points I hate about the OS: I've noticed my active wallpaper (not custom but from 10.2) is not listed in the the new 10.3 wallpaper list and since I don't know where its stored I can't try one of the newer ones without giving up on the present wallpaper.
The date displayed on the home screen is too faint to be read with my wallpaper. I know there are some people who think black on black is cool; they obviously have great eyesight. The new 10.3 compass is now totally useless and the new clock is not much better but is at least still usable by a change to a digital display.
I recently tried to check the time on a sunny afternoon and gave up because I couldn't make out the white lines on the black background. I find the stupidity of black on black unfathomable and in over 40 years of software development I have never seen something as wasteful of engineering time as products with poor user interfaces (i.e. black on black). Why can't these apps offer the user the ability to change the colour?
The calculator has also regressed. Again all black (cool!), though that's not the issue here. For the longest time I thought it no longer supported scientific operations until I accidentally got a lucky swipe to bring it into view.
However, the requirement of a half-dozen swipe attempts for each display change reduces this app to a space waster or only to be only useful for simple operations and units conversion. I'm going to try a reload of the OS but unfortunately that won't improve the apps.
Is this standard procedure that Blackberry destroys all (blackberry) apps of the previous version with new ones at each update and offers no way to get back or protect against such changes?

I don't understand when AR open item amount is USD 100.3, and incoming payment 101.12, The system can auto clearing by current configuration, but change the AR open item amount to USD 0.3 and change incoming payment amount to 1.12, The system alert error message "The difference is too large for clearing". The same system configuration and the same "Not assigned" value in choosing open item screen, but produce different results!
How should i change the configuration?
Best regards,

HELP! Display appears too large for screen!

Weird thing happening... The display on my iPhone for some reason is appearing too large for the screen, as if I zoomed in on the display slightly. I can't figure out a way to fix this.
Here's what it looks like. Notice the bottom half of the "scroll to unlock" is cut off... the whole thing is off-centered bcause of the zoom) http://i37.tinypic.com/25qvpr4.jpg
I updated to the latest software/etc... because I figured that that might resolve the issue. Restarted the phone. Can't fix. Trying to avoid my local Apple store, since it's an absolute mob scene. Any advice?

You have zoom on, probably.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf
The manual will tell you how to turn it off.
Page 190:
"Turn Zoom on or off: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > Zoom and tap the
Zoom On/Off switch.
Note: You cannot use VoiceOver and Zoom at the same time.
Zoom in or out: Double-tap the screen with three fingers. By default, the screen is
magnified by 200 percent. If you manually change the magnification (by using the tap-
and-drag gesture, described below), iPhone automatically returns to that magnification
when you zoom in by double-tapping with three fingers.
Increase magnification: With three fingers, tap and drag toward the top of the
screen (to increase magnification) or toward the bottom of the screen (to decrease
magnification). The tap-and-drag gesture is similar to a double-tap, except you don’t
lift your fingers on the second tap—instead, drag your fingers on the screen. Once you
start dragging, you can drag with a single finger.
Move around the screen: When zoomed in, drag or flick the screen with three fingers.
Once you start dragging, you can drag with a single finger so that you can see more
of the screen. Hold a single finger near the edge of the display to pan to that side of
the screen image. Move your finger closer to the edge to pan more quickly. When you
open a new screen, Zoom always goes to the top-middle of the screen.

Display unaccountably gets too big for the screen

This has happened maybe a dozen times, and I don't know what I did to make it happen. Suddenly, the desktop display gets too large for the screen, and I have to scroll around to find the dock or the menu bar. Whatever else I'm working on, e-mail, etc., gets outsized, too. Does anyone know how to correct this? So far, restarting has worked, but that's a pretty time-consuming way to do it.

Cindy,
Hold down the CNTL key and scroll down with the mouse or trackpad. That should change it back to size. This is called screen zoom.
Cheers
You can also deactivate it in System Preferences for the Mouse and/or trackpad.

Contact photo's show us too large?

Not a big deal but just wondering if anyone else is experiencing or have even noticed when some of your contacts call you their contact photo is too big for the screen? Like it was resized or something? I upgraded from 3G to IP4 so I'm sure that's the problem but is it a photo compatibility issue or something else?

Hello. I'm having the *exact same issue* since restoring up my iPhone 4 as a new phone.
When a call comes in or when calling someone on my contact list, the photo associated with the contact person is *skewed larger*. Too big for the screen.
Other than resizing every photo in your contact list, have you found a fix for this issue yet?
Thanks.
Dan

I tried to download an app for the iPad and was told the file was too large for the iPad; so I tried to download it on the MacBook but it never showed up; any suggestions? PS, I got the receipt from iTunes store so it was paid for

On apple tv why are photos too large on slideshow

I set up album in my iphoto,
selected it on apple tv
why are some photos too large and chopping off top of photos?

When you first sync photos to your iPod, or everytime you add new photos, iTunes goes through a process of optimizing your photos for the iPod before actually sync'ing. You can see it countdown on the screen. The results are kept in the "iPod Photo Cache" folder.
I was under the impression that this optimizing was more a process of collecting together 25 thumbnails and putting them together in a single file together so that it enabled the ipod to show 25 pictures at once with the option to select one.. Are you sure the thumbnails are actually altered in any way.

Sidetracked to a Slide show but too much flicker!

Hi all.
As my wife is a pro photographer...I've been asked to do a slide show with audio track for a client.
I've spent a few hours now reading so many posts on this forum relating to why still images flicker on a DVD when played on a TV. Amazing what you guys know it really is. :-)
So having now made numerous tests with: image sizes and formats (PSD TIF JPGetc), Blurs, Contrast settings etc, I am left with a hugh pile of used DVDs, but still cannot get the photos in my slide show to stop flickering when played on any LCD or CRT TV.
I have read posts advising that there are better products for slide shows than PrE8, so I'm currently dowloading an evaluation version of ProShow Gold.
I guess I am just looking for confirmation that I am on the right track with this mode of thinking..? It would seem that using PrE8 for a slide show is kind of like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut?
Thanks
Craig.

When you say a DVD s/w player....? Is that a separate application?
Yes. I use CyberLink's PowerDVD, but the freeware, MediaPlayer Classic HC is a good one too. As I have the full-paid versions of CyberLink on all machines, I have it set as the default DVD player, though I do have MPC HC too.
When you say you 'Import those into Encore for authoring' are you saying that it is the Encore application that burns your final DVD? Does the method of DVD authoring actually have any bearing on the flicker issue?
In my case, Encore is my authoring application of choice. Good news - it's great and works beautifully with both my PrPro and with Photoshop. Bad news - it is no longer sold as a stand-alone application, and is ONLY available bundled with Adobe PrPro, as of CS3 and now CS4.
All that Encore does is author DVD's and BD's (Blu-ray Discs). My version, EncoreDVD 2.0, does not have BD authoring capabilities, but, as of now, I only work in SD DVD Projects, so that limitation is not of consequence to me - yet.
Most of my Projects are Burned from Encore, though I can and do use ImgBurn (or Gear DVD) to do some Burns, especially if I have Burned to Folder, or done an Image (ISO), in my workflow.
Encore does have a very rudimentary SlideShow creation feature, but I do not use it. There are too many limitations, and the only thing that it offers, beyond what I do in PrPro, is Random Pan & Zoom, something that I would never do, as I view each image as unique, requiring my eye to determine exactly how the Pans & Zooms are applied, and adjusted. It also has a 99 image per SlideShow limit. I just have zero reason to use it.
I have never had an issue with flickering, and really cannot comment on flicker removal in Encore. Never needed it, so never looked for it. Also, since it is an authoring program, ONLY, I rather doubt that it has this. It would be an operation for the NLE, not the authoring app. Encore can do no editing (except for that SlideShow feature), in either Audio, or Video - none.
The image output was JPG.
As I've stated elsewhere, I am not a fan of JPEG compression, even at lower compression levels. This is both for print and video work. I only use JPEG, when I am doing work that will go onto a client's Web site, and often choose PNG over JPEG. I find that I can see slight pixelization with JPEG's, and eschew that format. As most of my images are in camera RAW (NEF's in my case), all of these come into PS through ARC, and are in .PSD format. I will do all of my image editing in that format, then resize for video and Save_As .PSD, which will then be Imported into my NLE (Non Linear Editor). I just never get to JPEG. Depending on your source material, and exactly how you are editing these images, you might want to explore not using JPEG in the scheme. As your wife is a professional photographer, test whether she can see a quality improvement. Some do not, but I can with my images. Not saying that PSD will eliminate your flickering problems, but it might be worth a look.
As for the ProShow programs, they do look good, and many professionals, who do major SlideShows are very pleased with them. One such producer on the PrPro forum got me to look into Producer, and it seems to be excellent. I just need to justify the purchase (and learning time), against the number of SlideShows that I am likely to do.
Last, with regards to the DVD RW's, remember that those are just for testing, and NOT for delivery. For that, I strongly recommend Verbatim, or Taiyo Yuden blank media. Nowadays, the -R vs +R is not the issue, that it once was. I always use +R for all DVD-9's (DL), but will use either for DVD-5's.
Good luck,
Hunt

Time Machine backs up one MacBook, but "backup is too large" for second

We have two MacBooks running OS 10.5.8 and both are connected wirelessly to Time Capsule. My daughter's laptop backs up fine. But my wife's laptop fails. It backed up one time when I first installed it, but never since. The error message I get is that the backup is too large for the backup volume -- 71.8 GB required but only 7.4 GB available.
My daughter's machine has a lot of photos and iTunes files on it, so it shows 141 out of 150 GBs are used up. The Time Capsule, which I understood to have 1 TB actually shows only 7.4 GB out of 463 GB are available.
And actually, when I try to manually run Time Machine on my wife's machine I get the really long Preparing message, and then the Time Machine Error message about not enough volume.
Should a machine with 150 GB capacity really be taking so much space on Time Capsule, and why the difference between the 1 TB advertised capacity and the <500GB of memory that actually appears to be there?
Does any of this suggest I need to restore the external or internal drives?

Does it make sense that it's trying to back up about 60 GB (Time Machine adds 20% for temporary workspace) from that Mac?
If so, see if it has the +Warn when old backups are deleted+ box checked in Time Machine Preferences > Options.
Click the Time Capsule in a Finder sidebar. If the Finder is in +Column View,+ you should see something like this:
|
except there should be two +sparse bundles+ listed in the third column. Right-click each one in turn, select +Get Info,+ and see what's shown for Size. Report back with the numbers. Also tell us if you have any other data on your TC, besides the 2 Mac's backups.

That sounds like it's doing a "deep traversal," perhaps after a long time since the last backup, where it has to compare everything on the Mac to the backups, to figure out what needs to be backed-up.
Should a machine with 150 GB capacity really be taking so much space on Time Capsule
Sure. Time Machine will use up all the space available to it, then begin deleting the oldest backup(s) when it needs room for new ones.
and why the difference between the 1 TB advertised capacity and the <500GB of memory that actually appears to be there?</div>
It does sound like you have a 500 GB Time Capsule. The original ones were 500 GB; I'm not sure when the 1 TB version came out, and now you can get them with 2 TB. How old is it, and why do you think it's a 1 TB model?

Page header plus page footer too large for the page in crystal report 2008.

regds,
samapth

This is a really hard post to read. See if you can take a bit of time to reword it, but one thing I do understand is that you are getting this error:
page header plus page footer too large for the page.
Typically, you can trust that if the error is thrown, it is true. E.g.; this is not one of those errors that says one thing, and means another. I suspect that you have some field(s) in the header(s) that grow, depending on the data. If there is too much data or the data is too long ( a text for example), the error will be thrown. To resolve this, see if placing the field(s) into a group footer / header will help.
