Single photo slideshow /changing image?

Okay, so here's what I'm trying to figure out:
On the welcome page of my website I have one large photograph. I'd like this photograph to change roughly every 3 seconds to a new photograph, and cycle through about 6 photographs in total. It's not exactly a slideshow that I'm after, more of a changing image. I also don't want any buttons or text around it, I just want my changing photograph...
How do I do this?
Thanks in advance!

see my instruction in this thread on how to build slideshow using iweb photos page:

My Mac Air iphoto will display thumbnails but will not display photos in any way - single photo / slideshow etc - any ideas

My Mac Air iphoto will display thumbnails but will not display photos in any way - single photo / slideshow etc - any ideas?

Are you seeing this
when you double click on a thumbnail file? If so it's an indication that the file path/link between the thrumbnail and original, full sized file has been broken. Therefore, and assuming you're running iPhoto 9 or later, try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

Why does iPad photo import change image appearance?

I've been editing some very colourful raw images in Adobe Lightroom. They look amazing on my retina macbook pro screen, so I wanted to save them to an iPad. I exported them as JPEG files and tried to transfer them both via wifi (photo transfer app) and an SD card using the camera connection kit.
When I went to import on the iPad, the thumbnails of the images look right, nice and vibrant, full of colour. Then once it has imported they suddenly become quite desaturated with dull colours.
Does the iPad have some sort of auto correction process when importing to the photos app? If so can I turn it off?
Or what sort of image colour settings do I need to change on my mac to ensure they display correctly on iPad?

guess it would be helpful if you can upload the photo somewhere and include a link here for others to download and inspect it.

IPhoto09 v 8.1.2 Problem- Double clicking on thumbnail results in glimpse of photo and changes to ! with black background. No photo, no slideshow.

iPhoto09 v 8.1.2
Double clicking on thumbnail results in glimpse of photo before changing to ! with a black background.
No photo, no slideshow.
(Preferences set to magnify with double click)

That indicates that the iPhoto database has lost the connection to the high resolution photo - if you have not made any changes to the library (like cleaning uyp, deleting using thrid party software or form the all images list) then rebuilding will probably resolve it - Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto database

Want single photo instead of double photo on slide in slideshow

Hi
I'm making a slideshow of photos from a recent holiday and I'm using the Vintage Prints theme. On some slides of the slideshow there are two photos but on some there is only the single photo. There are certain photos that I would like to be on a slide on their own and I was wondering if there was any way to make iPhoto put these photos on a slide by themselves.
Thanks
Nick

You can't change how the theme groups photos. If you want just one photo per slide use the Classic theme. Some of the other themes use just one photo per slide, like the Ken Burns theme, so test each to see which might be a good replacement for the Vintage theme.
Or you could use a 3rd party slideshow application like PhotoPresenter. It contains over 25 animated themes, some of which are demonstrated on this web page: PhotoPresenter Themes

How has every SINGLE photo in one of my events been renamed - I did not use Batch change?

Yesterday I imported a photo, added it to an existing event. Then I changed the title of that ONE photo and closed down. Today when I opened that event EVERY SINGLE photo has that title. There are 72 photos which have all now got the same title. I did not use Batch change and am very very upset at the prospect of trying to re-title all these again.

Apple need to sort this out. I have spoken to Apple Genius at their store, to their technical support and other forums but no one seems to be able to help.
I have tried to view the images in my back up on Timemachine but THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE! Come on Apple what is the use of a Timemachine back-up which you cannot view if you accepted an iPhoto update recently!!!!
I looked in the photo library Data and found some of the titles attached to thumbnails and am laboriously copying and pasting these back in place of the multi-duplicated title.
I now live in fear of this happening across my entire iPhoto library - nightmare scenario.

IE 7 and 8, photos not loading, image slideshow not working

I have invested hours and hours and hours on my website, only to find out that what I see on my computer is not what others (users of IE versions 7 and 8) see. I have determined from reading other queries on this forum that the Spry Image slideshow widget is a problem for just about everyone. If this widget does not work in IE 7 or 8, is there another widget or another solution so that photos can be displayed on the website?
I would also like to know why some of the single photos on various pages do not load properly.
The website is:http://nhcstar.org

Spry version 1.6x does not work very well with Spry version 1.7. Hence you will have to treat both versions with soft gloves.
If, for instance you were to place version 1.6x above version 1.7, you might find you you will get some kindness in return.

Photos Export Options to Change Image Resolution

iPhoto used to let you export photos and change the resolution (setting pixel size, for example). This is a function I used a lot to help my wife who is an artist who needs to export images to post on eBay with the optimum image size.
I signed up for the Photos Beta to make sure this function was going to be available. My recollection is that the first Beta version did have this feature in Photos. I didn't check the later betas, but now that the production V1.0 is out, I discovered that this feature is not available.
Does anyone remember seeing this feature in the original beta software? I was pretty sure it was present, but I might be mistaken. It seems strange to remove features in the beta process.
Now I have to use Lightroom to do this. LR handles this function easily, but it is a lot more complicated.
David

I am still seeing the option to change the resolution in the "File > Export > Version" panel.
Have you searched all options, David? I have to click the little disclosure arrow tin the Export panel to get to the "custom" option.

How to rearrange single photo in grid view

This seems like a silly question, but my library was imported and one photo out of 1000 shows up at the beginning in the grid view. I'd like to move it to the correct chronological location so it fits in with all the the others.
I can't figure out how to select a single photo and reinsert it into another location in the grid or filmstrip.
What is the easiest way to complete this operation? Seems to me I should be able to select it and simply drag the image...
The help file seems to show only global methods for rearranging order. I want to manually move a few images around.

I use LR 1.2 on a mac. I can arrange/drag photos when they are in library in all photographs, quick collection.
As soon as I put them in the categories/keyword tags (in library) I can"t sort them anymore. Sort by user, drag them from center..... nothing works.
anybody can help??!!! pretty frustrating..

User order only works in Folder or Collection (including Quick Collection) Views. And only the lowest (non Parent) level unless Menu/Library/Include Photos from Subitems is unchecked.

Lightroom does not open from the dock or out of applications (directly). I only have the lightroom bar on the top of the screen. It allows me manually to select a catalog that I want to open but then I get the message "an error occured when attempting to change modules and a blank lightroom opens.
Sometimes I am able to create a new catalog but as soon as I close LR and want to open it again the next day or an hour later everything is gone/cannot open LR again.
I tried to reinstall LR. No change.
I am using Lightroom 1.3.1 on a Mac Book Pro 10.4.11
Hope somebody can help!!!

Fitting a photo slideshow to music

Just starting my first photo slideshow in 08 (having done many in 06 and earlier).
Am just about getting over the lack of a timeline for fine tuning the audio, but figured if I select the music carefully, it should naturally fit the duration of the slideshow.
However - I can't seem to find a 'fit slideshow to music' option - just the choice of setting a slide duration to an individual slide, or to all the slides.
So what is the best way of getting the photos to fit the duration of the music added?

So what is the best way of getting the photos to fit the duration of the music added?
I assume what QT Kirk was trying to point out in his own way is that such an automatic function does not currently exist in iMovie '08. (It would, however, probably make a good enhancement request for iMovie '08 feedback if you want to follow up on it.) The process of duplication such an action is, of course, not all that hard if you want to duplicate it manually.
1) Import all photos to the project first.
2) Locate and drop your selected music with desired total duration to the project background.
3) Now reset the the duration of the sides to match the music duration by
a) Use a calculator to calculate the number of whole seconds for each slide by dividing the total duration of your music by the total number of slides and noting this number for later use.
b) Now subtract the whole number calculated above from your answer leaving you with just the fractional part.
c) Now multiply this fraction by the frame rate standard in which you are editing. (I.e., 25 for PAL or 29.97 for NTSC)
d) Now round off your answer to the nearest whole number. (I.e., number of frames)
e) Now select one of your images and choose the "Set Duration" option.
f) Enter the number of "whole seconds" calculated in step "a" above and the number of frames calculated in step "d" above. (Ex. 5 seconds and 25 frames for an NTSC slideshow would be entered as "5:25" in the duration box.)
g) Don't forget to set the "Applies to all Photos" option before pressing the "OK" button.
4) At this point you can add transitions if desired.
These steps should give you a reasonably close approximation for your slideshow. Since the error in approximation for the process is determined by the number of photos included in the slideshow, some adjustment may be required for large numbers of slides. What I might do is simply lessen the duration of each slide by a frame or two and add a "Title" with a duration equal the required adjustment between the changed slideshow display and the original music background to ensure a good final match between the two -- i.e., to take up the "slop" in our fudge factored approximation. While the process may sound complicated, it only takes a matter of seconds to accomplish.

IMovie Photo Slideshow -- photos `flicker' when played

I have been working on a photo slideshow in iMovie '08 for a couple of days. Everything has been fine, but all of a sudden today, nearly a quarter of the photos seem to flicker or jump when they come up during the show. The `jump' only lasts a fraction of a second and then goes into the Ken Burns effect I set up.
I have it set up for each photo to be on screen for 3 seconds. Any ideas or thoughts on this would be appreciated.

i am experiencing this as well. the weird thing is i have made 4 image slideshows in iMovie and the first 3 i made are fine. i came back and made a fourth and it has the "jump" in the image as it changes images.
it looks like the original image is being displayed initially and the repositioned as specified in iMovie.
any help is greatly appreciated!

Photo Slideshow Help

I don't much care for most of this new iMovie, but the Ken Burns effect controls are way better in '08.
For this reason alone (and that if offers a couple additional bells and whistles that iPhoto doesn't have) I am using it to put together a 350 photo slideshow for a friend's wedding.
The friend gave me all the chronologically ordered images on a CD which I imported into a new project and set about applying the Ken Burns effect to all of 350 of them.
THEN.. she changed her mind and wants to group the images thematically (i.e. Friends, Family, Travel, Camping, etc.)
What is the easiest way to move the photos/clips around?
It seems I can only move one at a time and there is no bin I can place the clips for organizing purposes.
Moving one at a time is going to be a major PITA... but so would starting over and redoing the KBE's.
Also... this isn't a question, but.. the audio management in '08 is super lame. No crossfading? Come on. Don't give me the "take it to GB and bring it back" workaround. I don't want workarounds. I want a piece of software that works.
On the upside, it is faster. No rendering delays. That's nice. Thought I'd end on a positive note.
Any help with the reordering of clips would be appreciated.

What is the easiest way to move the photos/clips around?
Unfortunately, as you've already discovered, there don't seem to be any "internal" shortcuts. Would likely remove all transitions, overlays, and titles and, starting at either end of the project, use a "bubble sort" algorithm to manually move each photo to its new location (and hope KBEs don't change). Then finish by rebuilding transitions, audio, and titles. Would be more likely to use this approach if and only if KBE are not changed while re-ordering the individual photo icons. On the other hand, if you do re-start the entire project, then you could "import" the photos as ordered groups (if you alredy have them grouped this way externally) and use the "auto add" feature to insert them into a new "project" and automatically apply the transitions (if all are the same) at the same time. (Also may be a good idea to start a new, separate project if your friend is one who is prone to constantly changing their mind.)
As to audio, how are you adding and adjusting it? Are you placing them in each photo segment or adding them as a background? Fading in/out seems to be automatic or non-existent depending settings, number of audio tracks, and where/how embedded. Do agree that the old "rubber band" approach did seem much more logical and offer better accuracy with regard to what you could do.

Photo slideshow on Imovie?

Is it possible to do a photo slideshow on imovie? I've uploaded all the files from iphoto and transfered them to imovie, but once i try to play the movie it will only play one clip at a time. Am i missing something? A response ASAP would be great b/c i'm trying to do a surprise video for my dad's 50th birthday! Thanks!

This may not really be what your problem is... but if it is, it is a really simple fix! When you click "play" to view the show, make sure you aren't just selecting one image and are clicked outside of a single photo box so that the whole show is selected.
Just happened to stumble across your post and remember being a little bit stumped by that at one point myself... good luck!

Length of photos keeps changing

Hi,
I'm creating a slideshow and the length of the photos keeps changing. Whenever I go into "clip adjustments" to make a photo stay longer or shorter it automatically changes the length of another photo. Is there anyway to make this stop?? I want some photos to stay on the screen for longer and I don't think it's that difficult since the old iMovie could do it. Am I missing something?
Thanks!

The same thing happens to me all the time. So far I haven't found a way to make it stop, only a way to fix it.
The only fix I have found is to use the skimmer to check everything around the photo or transition I adjusted and put everything back the way I want it. - A painstaking process, I know. However, I found I had to do the same thing in iMovie '06, so I am used to it. In my slideshow movie projects I have varying transition times and image times so it is possible to do what you want to do, but it takes patience.
Some other reader may know I better way. I'll keep watching this post to see.

Embedding a photo slideshow to web page

Hello my name is tom.
Im looking for any and all help that can be given. I recently took on a project of putting up a website for a friend. I will be the first to admit I
am NOT a programmer or coder. and some stuff is very confusing. Anyway I want to embed a photo slideshow (made from fireworks cs4)
into a web page. What I actually wanted to know is how to edit the files created to get it to work on the webpage.
It (fireworks) created three files and two folders with the photos and thumbnails in them which are ---- index.html, black_player.swf and slideshow.xml
im trying to explain it the best I can (bare with me) If someone could explain in detail what to and how to edit I would grealty appreciate it.
I have tried and got as far as getting the the player to come up. but no images in it. One thing I do know I cannot put the html file in the public_html folder
cause I'm not running the player off the main page. I actually want to run it off a sub folder public_html/Gallery/RFL the images folder is inside this folder also. please please help me!!
Some info if it will help
The site is http://www.sluggos-inc.com it's not up yet.
Oh yeah I have the site set up as frames I would like this player to play in the main.html frame. the template i included might work I think all the graphics point to the server so it should.
Thanks in advance if anyone could help.

I've never used the slideshow feature in FWs, but due to the large number of questions here and on the Fireworks forum I decided to give it a go :-)
When I created the slideshow I was asked where I wanted to create it, so I choose a folder on my desktop.
It created:
Scripts folder
Images Folder
Index page
player_black (the skin for the Slideshow)
slideshow xml
You can always change the location of the folder where the slide show is created, that is - create the slideshow into a sub folder of your working site files. That way there will be need to move any files around as I descibe below.
However, what I did was:
I copied all those folders/files into a sub folder of a defined Dreamweaver site named: Gallery
I then opened the Gallery folder within Dreamweaver and found the index page and opened it, viewed in a browser and had no problems with viewing any of the slideshow - images were all in tact.
You need to be careful that when you move all your files that you copy *all* the folders and files that were generated when you created the slideshow. Also, when you upload the slideshow make sure that you upload *all* the files (as created above) to the remote server - that includes the scripts folder.
You do need to be careful when moving the files that you don't move them into the root of your defined site, otherwise your original index.html page will be overwritten by this newly created index.html which is the slideshow page.
The best method would be to initially create the Slideshow directly into a subfolder of your site, that way, if you ever need to update the slideshow, fireworks will know where your original files were saved to. Otherwise, you may find that you won't be able to edit the original working files as the links may be broken or whatever.
Hope this helps a little :-)
