Sharpness and clarity of Photos in Slide Show lacking

I've noticed that my photos displayed by the screen saver are sharp and crisp in appearance, not so the same images viewed the the slideshow utility inside iPhoto. I don't see any preferences or settings that would modify this. Why do the pictures in the slideshow look soft and fuzzy when they are from 6mp D70 images???

AppleTV: How can I see what song is playing if I am viewing my photos in slide show mode on Apple TV and streaming from my iTunes?

How can I see what song is playing if I am viewing my photos in slide show mode on Apple TV and streaming music from my iTunes?
Thanks.

Thank you Winston. I guess we need to ask that this feature gets added at least as an option in an upcoming release. When someone is using shuffle, it helps to know what is playing while viewing pictures.
Where is my Apple request button when one needs it ? :-) Cheers, C

SharePoint 2010 and PowerPoint 2010: Open PPTX File in Edit Mode and Open PPSX in in Slide Show Mode

I have the following issue while opening PowerPoint PPTX file and PPSX from the Document ID link provided by SharePoint 2010.
Issue
Initially when I opened PPTX file from the DOC ID link from SharePoint 2010, it is opening up in Slide Show mode which is not how we want it to be.
For PPSX, it is opening in Slide Show mode which is what we wanted.
Thus, I did some research online and found this article at support.microsoft.com/kb/q299824 which requires some modification to the Registry of the client machine.
I did the change as follows
Open Registry
Look for “Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PowerPoint.Show.12”
Set BrowserFlags value to a
After the change, PPTX is opening in Edit Mode in PowerPoint which is correct but PPSX is also opening in Edit Mode in PowerPoint which is not correct
This issue only occurs if I open the document from the Doc ID link in SharePoint. If the documents are downloaded, it will not have this issue.
Questions
Can I set PPTX to open in Edit Mode and PPSX to open in Browser Mode?
Is this fixed as in if I change the registry setting it will affect both file types?
Is there other ways I can achieve opening PPTX in Edit and PPSX in Browser Mode?
[Environment]
My Client machine is running on I.E 9 and Office 2010.
Thank you.

Hi,
To make the PPTX file open in Edit mode and PPSX file open in Slide Show mode, I recommend to edit the registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PowerPoint.Show.12 to 8.
I tested the scenario in my environment with changing the key value to 8, after that PPTX file opened in Edit mode and PPSX file opened in Slide Show mode.
Best regards.
Thanks

When I try to open certain slide shows, my computer gets the spinning wheel and times out. Other slide shows open fine. What am I doing wrong?

Hard to say but most likely you are not doing anything wrong but have some library corruption
What version of iPhoto? Of the OS?
backup your iphoto library, depress the command and option keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your database

I have a photo PDF slide show in an email. How do I get the photos into my camera roll on iPad ?

I have a photo slide show PDF file in an email. How to I transfer the photos in my camera roll on my iPad?

Well I guess you can press cmd + shift + 3 to take a picture of your whole screen or cmd + shift + 4 to take a picture of a selected area, that will create a file called "screen shot yyyy-mm-dd at hh:mm:ss.jpg" on your desktop then you just select those files and drag them into iPhoto.

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.

Full Screen Photos In Slide Show & Other Questions

Hi - I'm using Premiere Elements 4. I have a few questions since I'm new to using the program. First of all, how do I get the photos to take up the whole screen (instead of showing a black border) when they are played back? They were taken on a 7.2 megapixel camera at the maximum quality setting. Also, the resolution is bad when it's played back but fine when you see the preview of the photos in the program. I've seen other posts about needing to change the resolution but I was wondering if I got the photos to play full screen if that might fix my problem because I can play the photos as a slide show in the Windows Photo Gallery Program and the resolution is perfect and the photos take up the whole screen.
Secondly, how do I delete a menu from the Disc Menus Section? Also, how would I delete the "Scene Selection" button from the menu screen that I want to keep? I want to be able to have a menu with just a "play all" button.
Thanks for your help.

The only way to remove Scene Menu button from Disc Menus is to physically remove it from the template by editing it (They're PSD files) in Photoshop Elements.
As for photos, DO NOT use photos from that 7.2 megapixel camera at full resolution, niagara. It's a sure recipe for disaster. RAther, per the FAQs at the top of this forum, rez those photos all down to no larger than 1000x750 pixels in size.

That done, you can get your photos to fill your screen one of two ways:
a) Leave the Default to Frame Size option checked in your preferences. The only case in which this won't work is if you're using 4:3 photos in a 16:9 widescreen project.
b) If this is the case, go to Edit/Preferences and uncheck Default to Frame Size BEFORE you import that photos into your project. (It won't work if you do it after.) Then, after placing each photo on your timeline, right-click on each, select Show Properties and, in Properties, open Motion and set Scale to 85%. Note that, because your photos and the widescreen have different aspect ratios, you will lose some of the vertical off the tops and bottoms of your photos.
There are many more ways to do it -- but it all depends on what you're trying to accomplish.

Photo gallery slide show - automatic start

I have created a web photo gallery in Adobe Bridge and successfully
opened it in my Dreamweaver site, but I want to the slide show to start automatically because it is on my
first page and I don't want people to have to click on the play button. Can someone tell me if this can be done and if so, how?
Thanks

Hi,
I will gladly help you with your problem but please give me a
link to your gallery wither as a private message or by email
([email protected]). The files here pasted are incorrect, look to
the SetSlideShowTimer() or the StartSlideShow() functions above
that are incomplete. Not mentioning that the CSS are really make
the difference.
It will take me more time to try to reconstruct your
structure, not having all the files you reference and probably not
being able to duplicate your problem because the deployment
failure.

IPhoto and Frontrow: can not click and drag after using frontrow slide show

Recently I received my new MacBook Pro, I started using iPhoto and noticed the following problem:
1. Open iPhoto and perform normal tasks, click and drag photos, etc.
2. Close i-Photo
3. Open Frontrow Slide Show(Pictures)- play for a few seconds
4. Close Frontrow
5. Reopen i-Photo and photos will not move(click/drag)
6. Close i-Photo/reopen and all is fine
Anyone else???
Thanks!

I discover that there is no parameter to set slide duration
Using the Finder, drag all the images from the folder containing the images on to the Navigator pane ion Keynote, this will place the images centred on an individual slide
with at least one image selected in the Navigator, select all, (command A)
Inspector > Animate > Start transition: in the drop down menu, select: Automatically
seethe delay to the time you want the image to appear on screen, you can select individual times by selecting one slide at a time
and no choice of slide transition and timing

Photo Magico Slide Show on my Sony Bravia via MBP

Hello,
before you all get upset: I have searched the forum already but I couldn't find the correct answer. I would like to connect my MBP to my 40 inch Sony Bravia to watch photo slide shows from Photo Magico.
Waht is the best connection not to loose any quality? I think whatever I will do it will never get to the TV as good as it is on my MBP. In other words: The use of HDMI connection is not really necessary?
Thanks

What you have is an extended desktop. If you move the mouse cursor off the edge of the MBP's screen you will see it appear on the TV. Similarly you can drag windows from the MBP's screen to the TV. At present the MBP's screen is the primary display and shows the menu bar and dock, and the TV is the secondary display. To change this go into System Preferences -> Displays -> Arrangement. You will see an image of two screens, a smaller one representing the MBP's display and a larger one representing the external display. At the top of the smaller screen in the image is a bar, this represents the menu bar at the top of the screen. Drag it from the smaller screen to the larger screen. The external display will become the primary display and the menu bar and dock will appear there and any new windows or applications that you open subsequently will appear there too.
davscanlon's suggestion to use mirroring will work, but you won't be using the native resolution of the TV which could result in fuzziness or bluriness of the image on the TV.

Loading photo to slide show after movie has been created

Hi Everyone,
I created a slide show on iMovie and thought I was done so I created a movie through the Media Share feature (to eventually burn on iDVD). Then, I realized there was one photo I hadn't yet included; so I went back and tried to insert that photo but it won't let me. Does iMovie know that you've already "finalized" a project and not let you make any changes to it after that? Is there any way around this without having to do the entire show over again?
Thanks,
Jen

Hey Dazlari,
I'm so sorry but I actually can't remember what I did! I haven't used iMovie for over a year. I'm not that tech savvy though so it couldn't have been that hard to do :-)
Keep experimenting...I hope you figure it out!
Best wishes,
Jen

Can you download music to burn on cd with photos as slide show?

Hi, I have a funeral for my father in law in less than 12 hours and I am trying to find a site that I can download the music to my desktop, combine it with photos and create a slide show for the services. I need to know if I can do that with Apple if I buy the songs one and two; can anyone tell me how to combine the 2? I have all the photos ready, I just need to obtain the music. Any expedient assistance would be so greatly appreciated.

If you have an iOS device the iMovie app would be perfect. You can probably do something similar with Windows Movie Maker which should already be on your computer though you may need to convert the format of the audio files before adding them in. I can't offer detailed advice for either but YouTube will no doubt have some short tutorials.

Deleting Photos in slide show modus trashes the wrong photos

In my Library are 13500 photos. Some good, many not so good. I find it comfortable to delete some of them by browsing a slide show, but when looking into the trash I was very surprised that I found photos that I for sure not deleted even not viewed...
one example: let´s say I want to delete photo "01.jpg" and photo "girl45-1" (it depends not on the names).... and I delete them by pressing the "delete-key" on the keyboard...
In the trash bin in iPhoto I found: photo "01.jpg and "car.jpg" (just an example)
This behavior is identical on both Macs.

Import photos from slide show cd

I have a cd slide show that was given to me that was created with lightroom. How do I import the pictures to lightroom3? When I try to import it shows no photos because they are embeded in the slide show application.

What format is the slidshow in?
If it is a pdf, then you can open it in PS (as long as it hasn't been security protected) and extract each image as a individual file.
If it is in a video format, you will need to open it in a video editor and create stills from each image.
