Slide show options

I have about 30,000 images that I'd like to place into a slide show, either in System Preferences, or if applicapable, iPhoto. I have tried to set up in System Preferences, but there is repetition and it seems like the slide show starts all over after going into active content, then back into screen saver mode. What I am looking for is an app that will display a RANDOM show, everytime it goes into screen saver mode, and will rotate throughout this massive collection. Does anyone have any suggestions?

No, at least for now there is nothing but the templates. You'll have to use something else if you don't want to use those.

Does iphone5 have a slide show option for photos?

Iphone 5 photo slide show option is not showing is a slide show option suppose to be on I phone 5 for photo ?

Slideshow is available in the Photos app on iOS 7 for phones (for info this is the Using iPad forum). Open a photo in the Photos app, then tap the 'share' icon botton left (the square with the upward pointing arrow), then tap Next top right, and on the popup tap Slideshow and the slideshow should start from the picture that you selected

PSE8 for Mac. Where is the slide show option in the Mac version?

I just watched an Adobe TV video on how to do a slide show in PSE8, but when I go to my CREATE tab, the only slide show option is "PDF Slide Show" and when I click it, it bounces me back to Adobe Bridge and gives me a very limited set of Playback options and then produces a PDF document and not a slide show. Where is the Create Slide Show in the Mac version of PSE8?

Hello,
The not-so-satisfactory answer is that, that's all there is: the pdf slideshow file is output from Bridge and plays (in my case) with Adobe Acrobat. That is, Adobe Reader will also open the pdf and play / progress at whatever time interval is selected with the Bridge pdf maker controls.
I agree: that you have to start by selecting the pdf creation in Pse 8 -which then bounces you to Bridge - is quite unintuitive. I'm just supposing that, since Bridge is literally the "bridge" to this process, it made sense to follow this logic when creating the Pse / Bridge software.

Slide Show option in Pages?

I'm a high school teacher who currently uses AppleWorks because it has the slide show feature which is most helpful and easier for me than converting everything to Keynote.
Is there an option in Pages similar to the slide show feature in AppleWorks? If not, is there a third party app out there?

What exactly is it that you need your program to do.
I know there may be a learning curve attached with reverting to keynote, but unless there is a specific need for remaining modern, you can still use Appleworks to do your slideshows.
If it is a more pressing concern to update your collection, post in the Keynote and Appleworks forums to ask if there is an easier way to convert things to Keynote.
Someone may have a solution that does not involve another program.

More Slide Show Options

The Slideshow feature needs two additional options for it to be useful:
(1) It would be nice if the slide show feature had an option to export the images in the format I set up for the show. That way I could then import them into any other display program with details like shooting information, etc.
(2) Have a "Presentation" feature where I can step through the images in a slide show instead of having them advance at a fixed interval. It would be really nice if I could still set the fade time between the images to give it a "professional" touch.

Requested very often.
Back of the line there's others waiting before you.

Slide show options in elements 13

Having used Elements 13 for some weeks I am generally satisfied with it. I run the 64 bit version, and it seems a bit quicker than the former version. I have around 40 000 pictures in my catalog. But the slide show has no other options than choosing among 5 ready-made versions. I do not like the panning and zooming and overlapping, it would be better if I could control these features myself. Is it possible to override all these features ant take control myself?

Lost slide show option

I upgraded to a new SSD by cloning the existing HD using the app that came with the SSD. Now my desktop background slideshow has disappeared. The option for slideshow has become gray. There was a warning on the cloning app to close all open files. I did
not turn off the slide show so that must have been the source of the problem. Is there a way to recover the desktop background slideshow feature?

This is a very common occurrence using such 3rd party "cloning" utilities and it is virtually impossible to pinpoint what happened to cause you to lose your slide show.
Microsoft cannot tell what happened because you used a 3rd party utility and the publisher of that utility has sole responsibility for support of it.
I see this type of complaint quite often with all the 3rd party utilities claiming to clone from and HDD to an SSD.
The best solution is to use Windows Easy Transfer on your old HDD, do a clean install of Windows 7 on the SSD, and then use the Windows Easy Transfer to import your data from your old HDD.

Slide Show option in Elements 11

Hi there
OIn the older versions of Element you can create a slide show through the create tab. This does not seem to be the case in Elements 11. Or did I overlook something?

Hi,
It should still be there if you are on Windows - not available if on a MAC I believe

Better slide show options iWeb 08 ?

In iWeb 06 I used to manipulate the slideshow assets folder to use slideshows that were better (in my opinion) than the standard iWeb option. Can someone point me in the direction to do this in iWeb 08?
I really do not like how small the slideshow images are (even if I click the "full screen" option) in iWeb 08... it makes the whole slideshow full screen but the images are still relatively tiny in the middle of the screen. On a 23" monitor this is not a big deal but on a laptop or similar the images are way too small.
I like all the other aspects of the iWeb 08 slideshow but wish the photos would render in full screen or at least larger than the current version...
help!!!!
thanks...

iweb photos page and slideshow is javascript/AJAX driven, so no longer can you manipulate Slideshow_assets folder.
But that does not mean it is impossible, but you need to know javascript, DOM, iweb generated code and slideshow code (they are all different).
I have been working on a few of them:
http://hdl.50webs.com/Lytebox/Photos.html
http://hdl.50webs.com/FancyZoom1/Photos.html
http://hdl.50webs.com/Slideshow2/Photos.html
the above are all javascript/AJAX, I intentionally left the 'Play Slideshow' so you can see it's iweb2 photos page and am working on Couloir slideshow (yup, Couloir)
Note: easy with those slideshows, they need time to process... because they take two pass to process, first iweb javascript, second my javascript. So wait a bit for thing to settle.

Slide show won't run

I run the latest release of IPhoto 9 (from iLife 2011) on an i5 IMac running the latest update of OS 10.6 Snow Leopard.
Suddenly, Slide Show will not run from the IPhoto browser.
When I click the slide show start arrow, the screen dips to black for one second and then returns to where I was in the browser. No slide show options screen; absolutely no slide show under any circumstances except random screen saver.
Is there a patch for this bug ? If not, would deleting and reinstalling any named file(s) solve this annoying software failure?

It comes to something when I have to answer my own question! However I have to admit I did have a little help from an earlier question which was thrown up by a search I did! It seems that when a PDF show is emailed and the recipient is asked whether the show should be opened in full screen or not; the answer should be 'yes' in order for the show to start automatically.
If the recipient answers 'no' the show stays stuck on the first slide. Hope this help anyone else who may have the same problem.

Photoshop Elements 10 Slide Show Audio

(Not Premiere version)
In creating a slide show (in the Create Slide Show option out of the Organizer), after I add a mp3 audio clip for background music, I would like to adjust the volume as I do narration over the top of it. The volume slider in the audio properties tab has no effect except for previewing the clip within the tab. The volume during playback within the slide show remains constant. What exactly does the volume slider do?

I realize that you said not the Premiere version.
However, I have not been able to lower the volume of the music during Narration using the Create Slide Show option of the Organizer (which is the create slide show that was previously in Photoshop Elements).
1 -- FYI - Premiere Elements does have an Audio Mixer that can be used as an easy method to adjust the volume of the music during the time periods which you choose (for example, during the narration). So that is what I have used.
2 -- Otherwise I think that you may need to use an audio editor to create your soundtrack volume adjustments and then add this "volume adjusted audio" to the Create Slide Show process. Audacity is a free audio editor for which I have seen recommendations but I have no personal experience with it.
3 -- What will be the final output format for this slide show ? What software will you use to create that final output ? Perhaps the answers to these questions will identify another alternative for your audio.

Front Row & iPhoto slide shows

I love the new slide show options in iphoto 09, but apart from the song choice, the slideshow options do not transfer through to Front Row like they used to as far as I can see. It now just plays the pictures full screen one after the other with no transitions at all.
Any help on this would be appreciated.

IWelcome to the Apple Discussions. 'm able to get the music and saved settings to play thru Front Row if I select an album which I've set up. When you first select Photos in Front Row it's the albums that are displayed in the list. If you select photos a second time then it's the Events.
Setting up a slideshow in an album and saving the settings gets transferred to Front Row, at least on my G5. Events don't fare so well, even if the settings are saved.
Give albums a try and see if it will work for you.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: iPhoto 8's new option in it's rebuild library window, "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" may make this tip obsolete. We'll know when users have occasion to use it and see if that's the case.

Reducing slide show timing below 1 second

I wanted to use the slide show option for my students' stop action photo projects. 1 second is the smallest option. They need 0.5 or 0.3 to make the projects fit their music. iMovie kept freezing, so we just left them in iPhoto. Can the timing be reduced?

No. For that kind of fine detail you really should be using a timeline based movie editor. Check out Final Cut Express.

Web Gallery Slide Shows: Music and Captions an option?

The title sums up the question. Can web gallery slide shows (on my .Mac account) be made to look and sound like the slide shows i'm running in iphoto - with captions and audio?

Mark:
You can get the captions to be displayed in the web gallery by running this script to move the description to the title field before you publish the gallery. After the gallery is published you can change the title back to the file name with the Photos->Batch Change menu option.
Have you considered using iWeb to create a photo page/slideshow and add the music to it. Here's a test page of such a setup. Be sure to read all of the comments on the linked page as there's a minor error noted in the script that is easy to correct.

How can I create a DVD (not CD) slide show with PSE8. Is the only option CD?

Do I need to upgrade to PSE9 for the DVD option for slide show output?

No, you can't create a video dvd with just PSE, and PSE 9 is no different from any other version where this is concerned. (Adobe wants you to use Premiere Elements.) However, if you have a DVD burner, you must have gotten some kind of software with it that can make a DVD for you. Create your slideshow, output as WMV and then use your other software to burn the actual video disc.
