Scaling photos into Light Box or Slide show

I will look for a tutorial on this but...
I dont seem to be able to find a way that images (photos) of different sizes can be correctly displayed to size and proportion in a Light Box or Slide Show.
I have tried the "fit" and proportion" options to no avail. I thought these might auto scale the photos to fit but no luck.
Am I missing something or do these assets need to be created to size?
If so ...how does one determine the size? ( I looked for the size properties of the Lightbox "screen")

Thank you.
Not quite what I was hoping for but at least I know now.
How does one get a measure on the "image box"? (trial and error?)
I guess one needs to know so that one can create images scaled to that size or a tad smaller.
Thinking ...Maybe I just pick a size for images and then scale the box to fit in the design mode.

If you are using a standalone version of Lightroom, you may have updated with the CC-licensed update. That will not work. If this is your situation then it will be necessary for you to uninstall Lightroom and then install an update from a different website. Assuming that you are using Lightroom 5, this is where you need to download from:
Product updates
After you make the change you will be able to continue from where you left off. The switchover does not affect your images or your catalog.

How can I change the font size and placement of photo descriptions in an iPhoto slide show?

With an iPhoto slide show, how do I change the font size for titles and descriptions and position the text when preparing a slide show?

to change the pixels crop to 100x100 and export with maximum dimension of 100 - see the user tip on exporting foo details on Export options - Exporting From iPhoto
As to DPI - digital photos have no DPI since DPI is Dots Per Inch and digital photos have no inches hence no DPI - when you print a photo then DPI is a mathematical calculation - dots divided by inches - it is not a setting
Print a 480 pixel photos as a 1" square and the print it 480 DPI (480 / 1 = 480) and print the 100 pixel image as a 1" square it will be 100 DPI (100 / 1 = 100) - print a 480 pixel photo as a 4.8 inch square and it is 100 dpi (480 / 4.8 = 100) - just a calculation - not a setting

How do it change the color of the background in a still photo in a imovie picture slide show

how do it change the color of the background in a still photo in a imovie picture slide show

LOL - I had the same problem. Hidden in plain sight! All I saw was Numeric, and thought "Duh! Of course it's numeric - it's a slider!"
I do think NI could do a much better job on this, perhaps with more informative labelling. Slider Scaling or Scale Format might be better. Also, since one can select the Digital Display by itself on the front panel, one should be taken directly to the digital display formatting when Properties is selected, instead of still having to change the dropdown. By selecting the digital display instaead of the slider, you're implying that you want to change its format only.

I-Photo crashes while creating a slide-show

Hello, i have a big Problem with iPhoto. While creating the slide show and setting the time how long a Picture possible to see for each image, the program crashes.
I have re-install the Program and install it new and check if i have the newest version. After this I try again, but the Problem is the same.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
These are two different crashes. So, I'm not sure if the solution will work. Going from the second one:
That
Exception Codes: KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE
is always a Data Related issue.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Can't import photos into light room

Have Lr5 won't let me import my raw photos in Lr5. Tried from HD, Flash Drive and from ex hd..

get the photos off of the card and reformat the card using the camera format command
Can you import the photos from disk once you have moved them from the camera to the disk? If not try opening one preview and saving as to create a new file and import that

How to properly stitch together many nearly identical photos into a slide show.

I'm not too sure if Final Cut Pro has what I need to complete the following question, but I'd like to ask the group any way. If not, then maybe you can steer me into the right direction.
I just started taking dozens of weekly photos of the same exact view from one location in our town. My final goal is to eventually put one shot from each of my weekly shoots into a time-lapse slide show/video. I have a dominant landmark in each of the photos, and that landmark is "almost" in the same identical location within each of my photos. However, it's not perfect enough. I'd like to edit each photo so that the landmarks within each photo are located as close to the same location within each photo. This will make for a much smoother slide show in the end.
I do have Final Cut Pro, Aperture, and iPhoto. I have iPhoto pretty much mastered, but have yet to put much time into FCP and Aperture. iPhoto offers no type of grid to use as far as cropping photos. Straightening yes...but for cropping...no.
Would anyone happen to know how I can create this slide show with the best results?
Again, each photo taken is being taken of the same landscape from the same location. However, I'd like to be able to stitch (possibly a hundred, or more) photos together to make as smooth a slide show as possible.
Thanks in advance, Gramps.

What version of iPhoto?
Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

Adding photo collage image to slide show in photoshop elts 9

I created a photo collage page using photoshop elements 9 and saved it as a jpg file. It looked clear and sharp on screen. When creating slide show, I added this page but when I play the slide show full screen, the image for this page is blurer than normal. Other regular photos I added in the slide show are ok. Why does this happen and is there a way to overcome it?

Maybe it's me, but... scoobie... i don't think your reply has anything to do with her question lol. I believe she's saying she is having trouble figuring out how to do something, not that the program is crashing.
Anyway, I'm starting a similar slideshow project. I think it's easiest to simply edit the photos in iPhoto. Photoshop is on a different level from iPhoto and obviously has capabilities iPhoto lacks, but I think it should be fine for just editing digital photos.
One of the things you said was "how do you format... resolution"
I don't think iPhoto can change the resolution of a photo like photoshop can, but since you want to make the FINEST quality slide show I assume you'd want to scale the resolution up... and although photoshop can do that, I don't think you'll see a significant increase in quality. It won't look anything like if you had actually taken the photo at a higher resolution.
As far as importing pictures into iMovie goes, that should be pretty easy. If you click on the "media" button in iMovie, and then click on the "Photos" tab on the upper right of the window, it will display your iPhoto library the same way it would display it in iPhoto (organized by albums). You can then drag whatever photos you want to include to the "timeline" at the bottom of the screen.
I'm not sure what to tell you about pixel ratio and RGB vs. CMYK....
The last step, exporting to iDVD is just as simple as adding pictures... just click on the "Share" menu at the top of the screen and select "iDVD". What you do from there depends on what kind of final product you want... and I haven't actually used iDVD so I would just be guessing on that part lol.
Also, I suggest going here: http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/imovie/index.html and looking at the tutorial. I viewed most of the movies there and they were helpful.

I have albums in my iMAC with description for each photo that I can show up on slide show so that I know the place that is in the photo. If I synchronize my photos to iPOD, I am unable to get the Descriptions also copied. How do I ensure this?

I have two questions:
1) I have multiple logins in my iMAC. How do I move photos/albums from one login to another?
2) I have created albums with "Description" for each photos, so that, in a slide show, any one can see what is being shown on the photo. When I sync albums to my iPOD, the "Descriptions" are not getting copied. How do I ensure that the "Descriptions" also get copied so that it can be a real back-up?
Thanks

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto thumbnails - this may take several tries
Also what version of iPhoto? What recently changed?

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.

Photo names in slide shows.

Hi. Simple question. I can see how to add captions to a slide show (under preferences) but I would like to know if you can add the photo name to it (Besides the obvious of copying the name to the caption)? I'm using Photoshop Elements 6.0 on Windows Vista. What I need to do is take the photos, put them in a slide show, and give to a friends family so she and they can look at them and pick out which one(s) they want to print. With the photo names it would make life a lot easier. Thanks.

Best way to do a quick 800 photo slide show...

We have 500-1000 photos we just want to project for a youth project with some music. Would it be best to go through iPhoto or iDVD (or both)to do this? What is the best workflow? I just need to put in some basic transitions and music...
Thanks in advance.

Note 500 to 1000 photos is a lot of slides for one presentation. 500 slides at 3 seconds each is 25 minutes. You are limited to 120 minutes on a DVD but you have to leave time for menus and transitions also so, the slide show will need to be 100 to 110 minutes long.
To play on a commerical DVD player, using iDVD you are likely limited to 99 slides using iDVD to create the slide show. Exceeding 99 slides can be problematic with some DVD players which either won't go beyond 99 slides or may have a "stall" or glitch in the audio/video when the 99th slide is reached.
Using iMovie would produce the best quality and flexibility (multiple transitions and music etc) but is time consuming as you will have to import pictures and work on the transitions individually. Global changes to transitions and timing cannot be made.
iPhoto might be your best bet but has less flexibility, but you can make global changes to transitions and timing (but all transitions and slide times will be the same). Create a photo album of your photos and arrange them in the order you want (you can skip this step if you want but I have found it easier to rearrange the photos) and then create a slide show choosing your transition and slide times and music. Now share your slide show directly to iDVD or share to a full quality quicktime file for better quality, in this case you will have to insert the file in to iDVD yourself. Note, if you have 1000 photos, this step will take the computer some time to complete.
Use iDVD to create your disk. Strongly suggest for maximum compatibility with DVD players that you save it as a disk image and then burn the image to DVD using Disk Utility (included on your system) at 2x or lower. Use a good brand DVD-R (not -RW or +R) such as Verbatim or Maxcell.
Hope this helps.

Why do photos pixilate in slide show mode pse 11

Photo quailty pixilates when in slide show or full screen mode in pse 11 organizer. Used to have PhotoAlbum 2 and this did not happen, photos used in full screen mode with other software are still fine.

Hi Dave
The slideshow editor is only a preview window. It enables you to order and re-order your slides, transitions, pan & zoom etc. The images get rendered at the output stage e.g. when you burn a disk, save a wmv or PDF file, send to a connected TV card, or output to Premiere Elements where many other formats are available.
To view your actual images select the first thumbnail in an Album or anywhere in the Organizer, hit F11 and click play.
