Slide shows images too big. How to scale??

OK, I've been pulling my hair out over this.
I create a slide show but the images crop off the tops and bottoms, as they drift along. I've played with the settings (fill screen/ 4:3/16:9) but no luck. Also, vertical images are a joke in slide show.
Q: How can I make the iPhoto slide show truly fit images to screen? Thanks.

Thanks Larry. By default it's turned off,though I've tried on as well.
I played more by adjusting the size of the images in photoshop. The default was something like 32"x 27"(thereabouts) @ 72dpi. I reduced it to 11 x 8.5 @100dpi. This reduction did not work either. It still cropped off the top and bottom.

  • Why are slide show images less sharp than preview images?

    Dear Aperture users,
    as documented in the manual and on Apple's support pages, Aperture 3 uses the preview images for its slide show. However, when I compare the quality of my preview images in full-screen mode with the quality of the slide show images, the preview images clearly look sharper.
    Apparently, Aperture's slide show does not simply use the preview images as documented, but applies some sort of "adjustment", resulting in less crisp looking images. Since I haven't found any satisfying answer yet, my questions are:
    1). What exactly is the adjustment that slide show applies to the preview images?
    2). Can I somehow tweak this adjustment, say, with a terminal command?
    Best regards,
    Dirk61.

    iPhoto can make two different types of slide show movies. It would help to know which you're making.
    One is made via the File/Export to QuickTime movie and makes a 4 track file with a simple fade effect. These use the Photo-JPEG codec.
    The other is a 30 fps "video" using H.264 video codec via the "Share" menu.
    A third method (rarely used) is to Export to iDVD. This makes an absurdly high data rate MPEG-4 video. This is also found under the Share menu.
    The MPEG-4 video codec also includes an "automatic" gamma correction feature which compensates for the gammas difference between Mac's and PC's.
    Try one export to iDVD. Include your audio track prior but use a high quality (.aiff) sound file. No need to actually "burn" the DVD. You can even close iDVD after it opens. You'll find the new movie in your Users Movie folder.
    Open it with QT Pro and export to a new .mov file. Adjust the data rate to something more reasonable and add some audio compression.
    If the colors still look too dark you can use the built in Filters in the Export dialog. You can adjust B&C or HSL or even use ColorSync Profiles that can help correct the image quality (if needed).

    Is there any way to prevent iweb from resizing images for the slideshow? My images are already resized to the exact size that I want them to be displayed. I don't want the software to mess with them!!!

    You don't.
    Slideshows are exported as movies and these are very large files. Email is not an appropriate medium for very large files as they can cause immense issues for the receiver.
    Better to share some other way.

  • Firefox 22 and higher shows fonts too big or too small, sometimes on the same page. How to "fix" this annoying 'improvement"?

    Since the update *every* website displays with the fonts too big or too small. On many websites, some of the fonts are too big and some are too small *on the same page*
    This makes for a horrible browsing experience.
    I've tried setting the layout.css.PixelsPerPx to a value of 1, but all it does is make most websites fonts too small, while leaving some websites fonts too large, with many web pages having fonts simultaneously too large and too small.
    The old behavior was quite acceptable and I'd really like to restore the behavior to what it was. How can I do that? Or do i just switch to Chrome and be done with it?

    Did you even bother to read the question?
    "I've tried setting the layout.css.PixelsPerPx to a value of 1, but all it does is make most websites fonts too small, while leaving some websites fonts too large, with many web pages having fonts simultaneously too large and too small."
    This "fix" doesn't work. Hundreds of people are complaining about how their browser was broken by this "improvement". Why not address the real problem instead of telling users to apply a useless hack to fix a programming error?

  • Sidetracked to a Slide show but too much flicker!

    Hi all.
    As my wife is a pro photographer...I've been asked to do a slide show with audio track for a client.
    I've spent a few hours now reading so many posts on this forum relating to why still images flicker on a DVD when played on a TV. Amazing what you guys know it really is. :-)
    So having now made numerous tests with: image sizes and formats (PSD TIF JPGetc), Blurs, Contrast settings etc, I am left with a hugh pile of used DVDs, but still cannot get the photos in my slide show to stop flickering when played on any LCD or CRT TV.
    I have read posts advising that there are better products for slide shows than PrE8, so I'm currently dowloading an evaluation version of ProShow Gold.
    I guess I am just looking for confirmation that I am on the right track with this mode of thinking..? It would seem that using PrE8 for a slide show is kind of like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut?
    Thanks
    Craig.

    When you say a DVD s/w player....? Is that a separate application?
    Yes. I use CyberLink's PowerDVD, but the freeware, MediaPlayer Classic HC is a good one too. As I have the full-paid versions of CyberLink on all machines, I have it set as the default DVD player, though I do have MPC HC too.
    When you say you 'Import those into Encore for authoring' are you saying that it is the Encore application that burns your final DVD? Does the method of DVD authoring actually have any bearing on the flicker issue?
    In my case, Encore is my authoring application of choice. Good news - it's great and works beautifully with both my PrPro and with Photoshop. Bad news - it is no longer sold as a stand-alone application, and is ONLY available bundled with Adobe PrPro, as of CS3 and now CS4.
    All that Encore does is author DVD's and BD's (Blu-ray Discs). My version, EncoreDVD 2.0, does not have BD authoring capabilities, but, as of now, I only work in SD DVD Projects, so that limitation is not of consequence to me - yet.
    Most of my Projects are Burned from Encore, though I can and do use ImgBurn (or Gear DVD) to do some Burns, especially if I have Burned to Folder, or done an Image (ISO), in my workflow.
    Encore does have a very rudimentary SlideShow creation feature, but I do not use it. There are too many limitations, and the only thing that it offers, beyond what I do in PrPro, is Random Pan & Zoom, something that I would never do, as I view each image as unique, requiring my eye to determine exactly how the Pans & Zooms are applied, and adjusted. It also has a 99 image per SlideShow limit. I just have zero reason to use it.
    I have never had an issue with flickering, and really cannot comment on flicker removal in Encore. Never needed it, so never looked for it. Also, since it is an authoring program, ONLY, I rather doubt that it has this. It would be an operation for the NLE, not the authoring app. Encore can do no editing (except for that SlideShow feature), in either Audio, or Video - none.
    The image output was JPG.
    As I've stated elsewhere, I am not a fan of JPEG compression, even at lower compression levels. This is both for print and video work. I only use JPEG, when I am doing work that will go onto a client's Web site, and often choose PNG over JPEG. I find that I can see slight pixelization with JPEG's, and eschew that format. As most of my images are in camera RAW (NEF's in my case), all of these come into PS through ARC, and are in .PSD format. I will do all of my image editing in that format, then resize for video and Save_As .PSD, which will then be Imported into my NLE (Non Linear Editor). I just never get to JPEG. Depending on your source material, and exactly how you are editing these images, you might want to explore not using JPEG in the scheme. As your wife is a professional photographer, test whether she can see a quality improvement. Some do not, but I can with my images. Not saying that PSD will eliminate your flickering problems, but it might be worth a look.
    As for the ProShow programs, they do look good, and many professionals, who do major SlideShows are very pleased with them. One such producer on the PrPro forum got me to look into Producer, and it seems to be excellent. I just need to justify the purchase (and learning time), against the number of SlideShows that I am likely to do.
    Last, with regards to the DVD RW's, remember that those are just for testing, and NOT for delivery. For that, I strongly recommend Verbatim, or Taiyo Yuden blank media. Nowadays, the -R vs +R is not the issue, that it once was. I always use +R for all DVD-9's (DL), but will use either for DVD-5's.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Disk Image too big in iDVD 6.0.1

    I created a 1 hour 27 minute movie in iMovie 6.0.1 and dragged it into a new iDVD 6.0.1 project. Used Travel widescreen theme and the default audio clip for that main menu. Removed the audio clips from the chapter menus. Created a disk image: 4.29GB, which seems big for an hour and a half movie...
    Then I noticed a typo. So I deleted the movie from iDVD and dragged my modified iMovie in. Rebuilt the iDVD menus. This time I added a 3 minute AIFF piece of music instead of the default on the main menu. Created a disk image: 4.41GB. Toast Titanium 7.0.2 wouldn't let me burn the disk image to DVD-R unless I used their built-in compression feature; which I did. Looks virtually the same as my original DVD.
    I looked at the sizes of VOBs in both images. The main menu VOB (use MPEG Streamclip to find it) was 524.3MB in the disk image that would fit on a SL DVD-R. The one that didn't fit was 914MB. I have to assume that's because of the length of the music on that main menu.
    I then edited my 3 minute music to 30 seconds and used that clip. Deleted encoded assets, and re-encoded. That disk image is 4.26GB and squeaks on a SL DVD-R without using Toast compression.
    With a movie running only 1 hour and 27 minutes, this "too big" should NOT be an issue.

  • PSE 6 slide show photos too large for TV screen

    I have been collecting, scanning and saving family photos for over a year to create a slide show for my 81 yr. old Dad. I create a slide show with PSE 6, save to a CD and play on the TV. No matter what pixel size I resize the photos to they are still too large for the TV screen - not just one TV screen but different ones I try. I loose heads at the top, feet at the bottom, people on the sides. I have been researching but have not found the answer to solve my problem. Anyone have the answer or some suggestions I would be very appreciative.  Thanks.

    Well, first of all, choose the right resolution and frame-rate...
    Are you working in NTSC (30 fps), or PAL (25 fps)...?
    Use one of the common DV formats /
    if you choose HD, 1080i, then your TV must be able to recognize that format,
    otherwise images get cut off...
    Format                                           Rectangular Size              Square Size
    DV NTSC................................................720x480.............................. ...720x540
    DV PAL...................................................720x576............................ .....768x576
    HDV 720p..................................................NA................................. ....1280x720
    HDV 1080i.................................................NA................................. ....1920x1080
    Stay with your chosen format through-out your whole project...
    (PNG, TIFF or PSD), import those files into your video editor.
    Depending on the Operational System (Mac or Windows), one has many choices...
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_editing_software
    After editing, import those files into your chosen Authoring software for burning,
    they will take care of the appropriate compression.
    (I would recommend burning to DVD, not CD, one will achieve much better quality...

  • Slide show on DVD. How?

    I have made a slide show in Lightroom 4.4. I want to make a DVD that I can watch at my DVD player. How do I do it?

    Most DVD and Blu-ray players will create a slideshow for you using JPEG image files on a USB thumb drive or SD memory card. You'll get the best results using a Blu-ray player and 16:9 TV.
    1) Create your slide show using the LR 'Widescreen' template.
    2) Use 'Export JPEG Slideshow' with 1920 Width x 1080 Height for Blu-ray players, 1280 Width x 720 Height for DVD players, with 80 Quality to keep the file size smaller.
    3) For the 'File Name' use the number 1, which will number the images 1-1, 1-2, 1-3 to maintain your slide order.
    Check the player's User Manual for details on its 'Picture' playback features and setup.

  • Slide show: publish to folder - how to optimize

    http://www.shukubo.de/harry.staymann/ar.lanin.html
    pls. try slide show button and click on the images.
    it will bring up windows which need improvement. the silverish design of the window does not fit to actual image size. so on both sides there are huge white gaps which looks pretty cheap.
    how can i fix this?
    also i'd prefer to leave the slideshow button out and just want my images to be clickable to open a (plain) window (such one i get if i click on the image in the slide show window itself) with the original image size (here 640x480).

    the silver design is the result of not publishing to .Mac!
    this is one of the features that will fall off.
    you can integrate other slideshow that look much better than the .Mac one. Here is simpleviewer which is great:
    http://karreth.com/iweb/Integrating%20A%20Slideshow%3A%20SimpleViewer.html
    THOUGH, if you only want to have the images open in a small window - you will have to do some post-editing that will make images open in a new window.
    you first of all drag in your images into your photo template. then create boxes with a opacity (GERMAN: in deutsch ist das -->> Deckkraft <<--) of 1% over each image. Activate each as a link, which goes to the image that it should show when it opens.
    When you now publish you will have each image link to the corresponding image when clinked upon.
    YET - if you want to have the pictures open in a new window with a custom size - you will need to do some post-editing.
    to do that you can view this article that will help you:

  • Images too big to be fully viewed

    I've got a children book, all pages are images, which are too big to be viewed in Adobe Digital Editions. I see that there's a part of the images I don't see at the bottom, but I can move down to it or resize the image to view it whole. Can anybody help me?

    I have your solution: Dropbox. I created a shared folder on Dropbox, identified certain people to whom I granted access, and I uploaded a 350MB HD video I took with my iPhone 4. The video uploaded without being compressed, and is viewable in native resolution. Great solution!
