Slide Show Counter
Hello,
I was wondering if there was a way within DVDSP to have a counter, displayed on screen, while viewers scroll through slideshows manually.
eg. 1 of 23, 2 of 23, 3 of 23 etc.
I could go into photoshop and insert this into each image. I was hopeing there was a quick way around this.
That would mean I'd need to have two sets of images. One set for the Montage, and one set for the manual scrolling of the images.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanking you
Joe
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9) 1.67Ghz 2G RAM
First (and should have mentioned this part also sorry) MAKE A COPY of your slideshow before converting it is one way, cannot convert back
Then I would make two tracks, one of the slidehosw (a copy with pauses) and another copy without pauses (set timing for movement)
The first one you could then set subtitles in (the one with markers) and the second will play through
Not sure if it is that much better than making two sets of images, usually you can probably do more in the underlying images in Photoshop rather than using subtitles...

Leaps beyond the ordinary...
Efficient code and buttery smooth animations make for a truly
engaging
user experience. Slide Shows and individual images can be
bookmarked and
all images can be viewed - even if JavaScript is disabled.
Search Engine Friendly
Unlike many of today's Flash and AJAX applications, Slide
Show Magic
markup is always fully visible and indexable by leading
search engines.
Auto-Choreographed Animation
Slide Show Magic detects the size of each incoming full-size
image. If
it's the same size as the current image, the system will
employ a smooth
cross-fader - simultaneously fading out the current image as
the new one
fades in. If the incoming image is a different size than the
current
one, the system will fade out the current image, glide the
image
container to the size of the incoming image, then fade the
new image in.
It's all automatic.
Staged preloader
When the slide show is running in automatic mode, the system
will
preload the next image as the current one is being shown,
providing a
seamless experience in most cases.
Intuitive toolbar controls
The on-page toolbar contains conventional media controls:
First,
Previous, Play, Pause, Next, and Last buttons. It also
contains a slider
bar that allows users to adjust the slide show timing, plus
buttons to
toggle visibility of the thumbnail display and navigation
menu, and an
image counter.
Drag-enabled thumbnail panel
The Thumbnail panel can be dragged about the screen, enabling
users to
fine-tune the interface for best viewing of the show.
Full-Size images can be hyperlinks
Each full-size image can optionally be set as a hyperlink to
another
page, programmed to open in a new window or tab.
Image descriptions
Each full-size image can display an optional description,
which can
contain any type of valid markup (paragraphs, tables, DIVs,
lists,
links, or images).
Automated image processing with Fireworks...
Web-ready images are automatically produced from your
original images,
which can be located on any drive connected to your computer
- including
drives mounted by your digital camera. Slide Show Magic
handles all
image processing automatically - preserving your original
files in their
original locations in their original and unaltered states.
Your images
are scaled, optimized, and neatly organized into folders
within your
defined site.
Import your existing images...
Point to a folder (or folders) that contain your existing
full-size and
thumbnail image and Slide Show Magic will match them up and
add them to
your slide show - unaltered and ready to view.
Organize Images into sets
Slide Show Magic enables you to define logical image sets and
organizes
the thumbnail panel into navigable sets.
Mix landscape and portrait orientations
Your images are never distorted in any way. Original aspect
ratios are
always preserved. Use both landscape and portrait images in
the same
slide show.
Deploy alone or inside existing layouts
Slide Show Magic can be inserted on a page by itself or
inside an
existing page.
Select from 6 Themes
Select a dark toolbar, a light toolbar, shadow boxes (in 3
sizes), or an
image rotator interface. Style themes can even be switched
for existing
slide shows.
Manage it all inside a dedicated Dreamweaver Interface
Add (append) new images
Delete images or re-order them
Manage Descriptions, links, and ALT text
Edit existing full-size or Thumbnail images
Reprocess all of your slide show's images
And lots more, including a comprehensive manual and free tech
support.

Wow. That's extremely cool. I currently don't have a need for
a slideshow,
but in the future if I do, you know where I'm heading to.
Nice product!

Problem with jquery slide show conflict with vertical navigation menu in Firefox & Chrome
Problem with jquery slide show conflict with vertical navigation menu in Firefox & Chrome. Works in IE. This is my first time trying to post a question - so please be kind. I am also not good with code and am finding css a real challenge after learning to design based on tables. I'm using CS5.
The "test" page with the slide show is: http://www.reardanwa.com/index-slides.html The same page without the slide show is http://www.reardanwa.com/
I realize the images are not ideally sized - I'll fix those once I get the pages to function. Maybe I need a different slide show? I would prefer a widget that I can modify to required size & postition. Again - I'm not good at building with code from scratch.
The problem is the naviagation links that are directly next to the slide show do not work in Firefox of Chrome. They do work in IE.
I've read about using jQuery.noConflict(); code but can't figure out the correct way to use it in my case or whether that's even part of the solution. I know my code is not well organized as I have cobbled together from various sources in an attempt to format the page the way the client wants it. Also, FYI, I will eventually try to make the page work in Surreal CMS.
I've spent sevaral days over the last several weeks trying to solve sth slide show/navigation conflict - so any specific light you can shed will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

When trying to add music to a slide show from my PC to TV through Apple Tv the photos are fine but I get an error message that says the music cannot be downloaded.
Because the location for each song in your library is on your hard drive. If the hard drive isn't there, how can iTunes play it?
You'll have to move/copy the music from your hard drive to your computer's hard drive.
Basically, EASIEST way to do all this, if you don't care about your play counts, etc...
-Delete EVERYTHING from iTunes, so that your library is now empty.
-Go to "Advanced" inside of the "Preferences" window, found in the "Edit" drop-down. You can also access Preferences by pressing Ctrl+, (Press Ctrl and the comma key)
-Change your iTunes Media Folder Location to something simple, but on your computer. I use C:/iTunes. Make sure "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized" and "Copy files to...." are both checked. You can close Preferences now.
-Now, drag and drop your music from your hard drive into your iTunes library. iTunes will automatically add the music to your library, as you would expect, and also creates a copy of each file to place into that iTunes Media Folder you just created.
Shouldn't have any more problems... -
I have the most horrible muse bug ever with slide shows mixing images up
Hi there. I'm making a comic. I uploaded multiple episodes of the comic - each to it's own slideshow in adobe muse. However the pages in the various slideshows are mixing up with my other slideshows. At first I thought it was just a caching problem in preview mode of muse because after uploading all looked okay and my on-line website looked perfect. However suddenly today several of the comics have the wrong images in them. I did nothing in the assets window. It was all working (at least on line where it counts) until now. this is a disaster. My poor website.
I uploaded it to my own website but if anyone wants to see I can also upload to BC.
this problem appeared again (but on upload as well today) after I switched off the thumbnails. maybe that is a clue as it was working until then (at least online).
Please help me - I am desperate. And no, I do not wish to rename all the pages in my comic from page 1.jpg to page 1_comic4.jpg etc to give each image (page of my comic) a unique name. I would have thought I could have same name assets that are different images. To rename all my images and put them back into muse would be so much work it would probably be easier for me just to go back to iweb and wait for easyweb to come out.I have batch renamed all my assets, deleted all my slideshow thumb nails and replaced them so none of the images in my slide show have the same name as other assets anymore. I am sure this is what caused the problem. I am about to reupload my website, so you won't be able to see the problem anymore (I sincerely hope).
The problem wasn't always reproducible. To be able to reproduce the bug you need 10 different slideshows (all with images called page_1.jpg, page_2.jpg etc with more than 50 pages in some of the galleries, and then you have to upload the slideshows, make changes to the website,upload again, then make more changes to the website, then go to all the galleries one at a time with the thumbnails visable then uncheck the show thumbnails box for all the different slideshows and upload again. -
Making small photos larger to be used in slide show
I am using Photoshop elements 10 with windows 7 on my Toshiba laptop.
I am trying to make a slide show of photos for my brother's funeral. The photos will be shown on a screen at the church and on a TV monitor at home. I was used to Photoshop 4, but had purchased but not really used Photoshop Elements 10 and I need help. I am about 1000 miles away from home so I cannot go back to try to using Photoshop 4 which is not on this laptop. I don't think I want to change (i.e. resample) the pixels, etc.
I have put into order all of the photos. However, the photos are of varying sizes. The photos taken digitally are fine. However, I have a lot of photos take a long time ago for like 3X3 or 2X3, i.e. like in the 50's - 90's, which were scanned. Then provided to me in a variety of ways. Coming to me they are small on the page. ie like in one corner. I am not trying to shrink these photos. I am trying to resize them larger. And probably get rid of most of the white background.
Quite honestly, I think grief is fogging my brain. I had tried to look at the tutorials but they did not work when I tried it on a sample photo. Please help!Image> Resize> Image Size is the way to go. You may need to resample though. I don't recall what resampling algorithms are in v10, but in v12 'Bicubic Smoother' is recommended for enlargements.
I also have a fallback Scott Kelby (a prolific Photshop / Photoshop Elements author) tip from an early version of PSE that recommended gradual upscaling by 10% at a time to avoid 'jaggies'. It sounds weird but it often works.
Note that for screen display you don't need high pixel per inch counts. 72 or 96 are typical common ppi resolutions.
Cheers,
Neale

Hi,
If I have a Flash web page with a button and I'd like an
image slide show to launch at the top of the page upon one clicking
the button, plus the slide show container to have the play/pause,
forward, backward controls, along with small numbers 1-10
(appropriate number highlighted for which photo you are viewing)
also...how much time would it be to set up the controls,
actionScript / interactivity? (a guesstimate)
If I'm creating and prepping all images, buttons, etc -- just
need someone to actionScript and set up the controls, how much
would you estimate this would cost and, as above, timeframe in
hours?
Thank you! Just trying to get an idea.I'm sure I remember a few years ago now a heated discussion
on whether it counts as price fixing to discuss fees in an online
forum.
It really depends on who was doing it. As a guesstimate I'd
say 4-5 hours from scratch which would cover setting it up and
probably one revision. If you were happy to use a component that
was designed for it then a fraction of that time, probably under an
hour. You'll pay more for someone with experience, but then they're
probably faster and the standard of the work will be higher.
In my opinion it's worth paying a little more for a quality
company who may foresee problems you overlook rather than pinching
the pennies, but that's your call.
If you're looking to do it on the cheap then buy a component
and have their technical support set it up (or at least help you)
for free. -
PSE 9 Organizer Slide show can't find the slide show project files after moving from XP to Windows 7
A bad computer virus forced us to move all our files and programs from XP to Windows 7. The PSE Editor seems to be working properly, but the Organizer Slide Show can't find the project files. The structure of each of the 15 slide shows (blank slides) is there and any text I had added, but the pictures and music are missing. Our computer Tech is not too familiar with PSE and may not have the files in the right spot. Evidently XP and Windows 7 are organized a little differently and use different names. He still has all the PSE files from our old hard drive in a folder and probably just needs to know where to put them.
+Windows Vista has different file locations than Windows XP+
This is the problem - the iTunes ITL file from XP is using XP paths, which don't exist in Vista. Here are some directions that have worked for others:
- Copy your entire iTunes folder --- not just the iTunes Music folder but basically everything under "My Documents" - to external storage
- Copy those files to your "Music" folder on your Vista system. The end result should be that you have "Documents\Music\iTunes" on Vista, where you had "My Documents\My Music\iTunes" on XP
- Put a fresh install of iTunes on the Vista system.
- When you run iTunes for the first time, hold down the Shift key. If it asks you to select a library file, pick the one you just transferred over.
- The end result should be your library, including all ratings, play counts and play lists, sitting on the new system. -
PSE12 slow loading Fujifilm files in slide show
I have just upgraded from PSE10 to PSE12 and now when I use the Slide show (full screen) in organizer with Fujifilm Raw files it take about a minute and a half to load up and same again when you zoom in. Is there any way of speeding this up in PSE12? It was slow in PSE10, but it did take over a minute in total.

To me also Reply #11 seemed key. But I think on first read through the significance of:
With the lossy compressed DNG (scene-referred), you can do all the normal edits you're accustomed to with raw: white balance, highlight recovery, changing camera color profiles, noise reduction, sharpening, lens corrections, etc. With the normal JPEG in DNG wrapper (output-referred), you cannot
had escaped me as it seems counter-intuitive - "lossy compressed" just sounds more image degrading than "normal".
The jpeg compression algorithm is generally used to compress image files like tiffs or psds. It is based on the fact that our eyes are much more sensitive to the luminosity than the colors, and that results in a 'simplification', not a 'degradation' of the data. Imagine you have a very detailed map of an island printed 1 meter x 1 meter. You want to print it 30 cm x 30 cm. You'll downsample the image so that you get a good 300 ppi picture : you simplify to discard all details your eyes could not see in the 30 x 30 print ; that is lossy in the sense that you discard the less meaningful bits of data.
Note that using the jpeg compression algorithm on the just demosaiced raw file is possible because you can process the luminosity and color information from that stage. At that stage, the 'jpeg' compressed data is still an undefined image unlike the usual output-referred jpegs. Another compression algorithm could have been used, with less visual efficiency.
Since the link I gave in this post, the new version of Lightroom has taken advantage of the lossy dng compression in a very smart way. Lightroom keeps a catalog and a preview file for quicker browsing on its library. Instead of using normal jpegs as previews, you can use lossy DNGs of about the same size. The advantage is that if the catalog and previews are stored in a computer and the library in another drive, you can edit the raw files and store the results in the catalog even if the other drive is not plugged in. When you plug the drive in, you can sync the parametric editing in the catalog to the real full size raw images. -
Have made some slide show libraries on publisher then saved as jpg however when I sync through itunes to my ipad the previous import is over written. Can anyone offer a solution. Thanks
I have tried much of the same - still no joy.
I also reported it as a bug to Apple although the response page said "we can't reply to messages"
For now I have had to turn off auto syncing and keep plugging and unplugging until the device is recognised correctly - about 1 in 10.
In my email to apple I also listed the contents of the xml file that keeps track of the devices that iTunes has seen:
When seen as an ipad:

You will see from the Use Count that these are adjacent connections, ie plugged in as ipad then as iphone. Apart from the device class, everything else is the same. -
How to make screens cycle through like a slide show.
I need to have about ten screens (with hypertrends and whatnot) cycle through like a slide show.
I figured i'd use a pulse timer...aaaaand some if then statements...Hmmm......Help me out!!!
Old Fart once said "You can't polish a turd."
Thnx dad...I got it...
Made a FlipFlop with a F1 key input
Made a PulseTimer with the FlipFlop for on/off, Time period of 0, and duration of 0:10
Made a counter with the PulseTimer as count and for reset i did counter=11 (for ten screens)
Made expresions that read counter=1 ~ counter=10 for each screen
Conected each screens Maximize to an expression. -
Protected song used in slide show?
If I use a song bought from the iTunes store (hence protected) and use it in a slide show, burn it to disc as a movie with iMovie or iDvd will unauthorized computers playing the disc be able to play the audio track?
thanksImage> Resize> Image Size is the way to go. You may need to resample though. I don't recall what resampling algorithms are in v10, but in v12 'Bicubic Smoother' is recommended for enlargements.
I also have a fallback Scott Kelby (a prolific Photshop / Photoshop Elements author) tip from an early version of PSE that recommended gradual upscaling by 10% at a time to avoid 'jaggies'. It sounds weird but it often works.
Note that for screen display you don't need high pixel per inch counts. 72 or 96 are typical common ppi resolutions.
Cheers,
Neale

I have a lot of pictures in an album that I would like put in random order for a slide show. I want to burn that to a dvd to play at our day care centers (pics of the kids throughout the summer). is there any way to do this other than dragging and dropping the pictures manually? that takes a lot of time.
OK. Well here's a helpful answer. Someone's already written a quick Applescript for adding random numbers to every file in a folder. I added a little bit to the beginning and the end to let you be able to just drag and drop the folder onto the file, but give full credit to the poster
Steps:
(1) Open the Applescript Editor:
Finder->Applications->Apple Script->Script Editor.app
(2) In a new Script copy and paste the following text:
--start copying
on open the_Droppings
tell application "Finder"
set separator to ("_") as text
set source to the_Droppings as alias
set destination to make new folder at source with properties {name:"Shuffled"}
set shuffle_pool to duplicate files of source to destination
set shuffle_count to count shuffle_pool
set duplicates to {}
repeat with shuffle_file in shuffle_pool
repeat
set an_item to random number from 1 to shuffle_count
if an_item is not in duplicates then exit repeat
end repeat
shuffle_file as alias
set name of result to an_item & separator & name of result as string
set end of duplicates to an_item
end repeat
end tell
end open
-- stop pasting here
(3) File->Save As
(4) Type in a name for the file and IMPORTANT save it as an application.
(5) Place all the images that you want to randomize into any folder. (In iPhoto6: File->Export from an album or; in iPhoto5: Share->Export)
(6) Drag the folder with your images onto the little application that you saved from the Script Editor
(7) The Script will create a new folder inside whatever folder you dropped on it called "Shuffled".
(8) Now if you do an Edit->Add Slideshow in iDVD you can just drag the contents of the Shuffled folder to iDVD and you're done! It'll make a DVD in seconds! Now if only you could set the time to more than 10 seconds!

By some reason after adding of several pictures to a .swf of the same size, in full stage to the slide show, these pictures changes their dimensions when playing the movie and take less place, become not in full stage. Is it possible to make them in full stage in slide show? The code is as below.
var picTotal:Number = 5;
var lightSpeed:Number = 5;
var delay:Number = 5000;
var count:Number = 0;
function init():Void {
var white:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("wh", 10);
with (white) {
beginFill(0xFFFFFF);
lineTo(Stage.width, 0);
lineTo(Stage.width, Stage.height);
lineTo(0, Stage.height);
lineTo(0, 0);
endFill();
white.blendMode = "add";
pastePic(_root);
lightSpeed = -lightSpeed;
showNext(white);
function pastePic(target_mc:MovieClip):Void {
target_mc.attachMovie("pic"+count, "pic", 0);
count++;
count %= picTotal;
function showNext(clip:MovieClip):Void {
clearInterval(showNext.intervalID);
clip.onEnterFrame = function():Void {
this._alpha += lightSpeed;
if (this._alpha<=0) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
this._alpha = 0;
lightSpeed = -lightSpeed;
showNext.intervalID = setInterval(showNext, delay, clip);
if (this._alpha>=100) {
this._alpha = 100;
lightSpeed = -lightSpeed;
pastePic(_root);
init();what's the following trace show:
var picTotal:Number = 5;
var lightSpeed:Number = 5;

Random order for a slide show?
How do you select a random order for a slide show?
You rang?
I had actually started working on this sometime in the past when this question was asked before. I never got around to finishing it but I cobbled this together this AM:
set newList to {}
tell application "Aperture"
activate
set imageSel to (the selection)
if imageSel is {} then
error "Select images."
else
repeat until (count of newList) = (count of imageSel)
set randomPick to random number from 1 to (count of imageSel)
if randomPick is not in newList then set newList's end to randomPick
end repeat
repeat with i from 1 to count of newList
tell item i of imageSel to make new custom tag with properties {name:"Random", value:item i of newList}
end repeat
end if
end tell
Takes a selection and assigns random numbers to each image in the selection,
Creates a custom tag Random and populates it with numbers. If you add the custom field Random to the list view metadata parameters you can sort on it and then switch back to icon view and the images will remain in the random order.
You have to be careful if you change the sort order of course the randomness will be gone and you will need to go back to list view to re-establish it.
