Slideshow Image Drops To Black

Hey all - I have one pesky slideshow image that always seems to drop to black, and for the life of me, I can't figure out what the problem is. I've deleted it from the slideshow and re-inserted it, and the problem persists. The transition and image are fine on Adobe's preview window, but the image briefly drops out on DVD players before reappearing.
Do you think deselecting "random pan and zoom" for this image may alleviate the problem, or could the picture itself be a problem? If that's the case, I'll just have to replace it with a less desirable one.
Thanks for your help.

Dave,
Size and format do not seem a problem.
I know you have replaced it one time, but can you go back to the original image and Save_As a PSD from Photoshop, or other? Since your problem is related to this one image, I'd try several other versions of it.
I do agree about using the NLE for slide shows, but the feature exists, and should be useful.
Good luck and let us know if any variation of this image changes things,
Hunt

[JS][CS4/CS5] Images dropping off in scripted pdf export

I've encounted a bug that I wonder if someone could try to replicate or suggest a workaround of some sort for.
Some background: we often need to batch-export a number of versioned InDesign files to pdf. These files will often share a lot of content, particularly placed images. We've used Peter Kahrel's export script for this purpose, as well as a number of scripts of my own. The specifics of the script don't seem to be important. I've seen the problem in both CS4 and CS5 on the Mac.
The problem: Placed Illustrator files (and pdfs) drop off of exported pdfs, without any kind of error being raised, after a user tries to interact with InDesign while it's tied up during a script which opens and exports one file after another. Once an image drops off, it will be missing from every subsequently exported pdf until the script completes. The pdfs are valid—they open and display just fine—they just don't contain all the images they're supposed to. Placed raster images are not affected.
If anyone cares to try to replicate this for me, the script I used to trigger it was:
var f = File("/path/to/InDesign/file.indd"),
    d = Folder("/path/to/export/directory"),
    e = 0,
    i = 1000,
    doc, pdf;
while(e++,i--){
    doc = app.open(f);
    pdf = File(d.fullName + "/" + f.displayName.replace(/\.indd$/,"") + e + ".pdf");
    doc.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE,pdf,false,app.pdfExportPresets.firstItem());
    doc.close(SaveOptions.NO);
The InDesign file can simply be a single page with any (as far as I know) placed Illustrator file or pdf. I used an .ai file with one black rectangle in the middle of the page.
After getting the export script going in the ESTK, I Command-Tab over to InDesign. As soon as I try to click on any UI element (which will get me a spinning beach ball), the placed vector image drops off of the exported pdf and stays dropped off until I stop the script.
While the solution seems simple—don't mess with InDesign while it's batch exporting pdfs—it's easy to forget that it's tied up, and the consequences of an image silently dropping off of an exported pdf could be quite dire.
Thanks in advance.
Jeff

edit: Did file a bug report (5th of december 2012)..
It is just unbelievable that this bug still exists! absqua, have you filed a bug-report?!
Easy to reproduce, just launch script and click any toolpanel header while indesign running script..
test_document.indd includes those black rectangles in linked .ai file.
Right after InDesign ui-element is clicked, that linked .ai is dropped from rest of exported pdf's.
#target indesign
var f = File("~/Desktop/test/doc/test_document.indd"),
    d = Folder("~/Desktop/test"),
    e = 0,
    i = 20,
    pdf;
while(e++,i--){
          myDoc = app.open(f);
    pdf = File(d + "/" + " test_" + e + ".pdf");
    myDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE,pdf,false,app.pdfExportPresets.firstItem());
          myDoc.close(SaveOptions.NO);

Help: I have a globe image with a black background...how to...

Hi,
I have a simple Earth globe image with a black stars background. I'd like to cut out the black background and get this all white....basically id like just the globe visible with no background.
http://www.ingerreime.no/inger/Images/globe.tiff
I know this is newbie question, but i have no idea how to do it. Please don't tell me i have to get photoshop???
Thanx!

Dave:
Terence isn't the jerk in this thread. He's was just attempting to give you a solution you can run yourself instead of having it given to you.
GraphicConverter can create a transparent file, a gif. Try the following workflow:
1 - first convert the file to a gif (use 89a) and save and reopen.
2 -select the Magic Pen and set it's sensitivity to about 40 (double click on it will bring up the setting pane).
3 - click on the black background to select all of the black.
4 - select to the Edit->Make Selection Transparent menu option.
5 - save the file.
The black will turn to a checkerboard pattern indicating transparency. If you anticipate a lot of advance editing I suggest you look at Photoshop Elements. I find it much more powerful than GC and it supports layers which is a very powerful too. Here's an example of some of the advanced editing you can do with it.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Slideshow: Images very small on certain computers

Hi all
I'm having a problem with slideshows created in (or updated to) iWeb '08. When viewed on some computers, the slideshow images are really small, just a tiny little bit bigger than the thumbnails on the page. On other machines, however, my slideshows play fine.
Slideshow not OK (small images) on:
PowerBook G4, 800MHz, 15'' screen (1152x768), 1GB RAM, Mac OS 10.4.10, Safari 2.0.4 or Firefox 2.0.0.6
iBook G3, 700MHz, 12'' screen (1024x768), 640MB RAM, Mac OS 10.4.8, Safari 2.0.4
Slideshow OK (big images) on:
PowerMac G5 Dual 1.8GHz, 23'' Cinema Display (1920x1200), 1.5GB RAM, Mac OS 10.4.10, Safari 2.0.4 or Firefox 2.0.0.6
PowerMac G4 Dual 1.25GHz, Sony 23'' screen (1920x1200), 2GB RAM, Mac OS 10.4.10, Safari 2.0.4
Maybe it's depending on the screen size? Since that's the main difference between these 4 systems (but it doesn't seem to depend on the browser!). Anyone care to check on other machines with different screen sizes?
Tina

I'm so disappointed in the new iweb. it takes forever to upload pictures from iphoto. i made a new iweb page and it's awful. there's mostly black space on the screen. why would they do that? the slide show displays tiny copies of my pictures almost thumbprint size. and the reflections are almost the same size as the photos. looks ********. vertical pictures are even smaller! why did they fix something that wasn't broken. now it is. if it looks this awful on my mac, what will it look to my friends on other computers? didn't anyone test this stuff? i want my old iweb back!!

Deleting selected thumbnails without deleting slideshow images

Thank for your responses in advance. I'd like to create a slideshow in adobe muse, but only show selected thumbnails to direct me to specific images within the slideshow. When I delete a thumbnail then my larger slideshow image deletes as well. I don't want that to happen. I have all my portfolio images on one slideshow, but I don't want thumbnails for every image, just the first image of each project. Is this possible in Muse? Thanks!

Hello,
I have a workaround for the same.
1. Please Select the thumbnail that you want to be invisible.
2. Double click on the thumbnail so that the "thumbnail image" is selected.
3. Drag and Drop the image outside the Slideshow.
4. Place an invisible rectangle over the thumbnail container (this will remove the existence of hyperlink as well)
Now try to preview the page. Image will show in the slideshow but thumbnail will not exist.
You can also visit out Idea page to place a feature request to provide an option to make thumbnail hidden.

How to get rid of the large slideshow images in Web gallery (CS4)

Here is the deal.
I've created a flash web gallery/ But the new CS4 has the option for slideshow with this flash stuff. CS3 use to create thumbnail and large images folders. The new one creates 3 folders: 1. thumbnails, 2, medium images, 3 large images (for the slideshow). That's great, until I go to upload process. I have pretty limited space. So I'm ready to get rid of the slideshow option, but there's no such option in gallery creating process. The only solution I have in mind is to redirect slideshow images to the medium size folder. But thats pretty annoying process during the creation of each gallery.
So does anyone has an idea how to skip the slideshow creation or another method to skip creating 3 folders, all with the same images?

Slideshow - just shows a black screen

I set up a photo album on iWeb, but when I am visiting the site, clicking the the Play Slideshow command opens a black screen that does nothing. I did enable the slideshow option in the Inspector.
I'm using Safari.
Any suggestions???
Carl

All of your slideshows work but they take a looong time to load and I've got a very fast connection. What type of connection do you have? I'm using Safari 4b. You may just have to wait longer for all of the files to load before they display in the slideshow. For example your 1945-70 has 83 photos. Change the slides per page to 30 and each page will load much faster. The last group has 98 per page on the first page. Reduce that to around 30 and have more pages.
You have a several options:
1 - fewer photos per page.
2 - use an application like Web Site Maestro to optimize your site files and then upload them to your iDisk.
3 - move your site to a commercial hosting service like Host Excellence, GoDaddy, etc. which will vastly increase load times.
4 - move to a commercial server AND use Web Site Maestro or similar which will help make the site more accessible to those using the outdated Internet Explorer.
MobileMe is just not setup for commercial use and, as a result, is much slower than other servers.

When I "enhance" a photo, it does not show up in slideshow, it is just black

When I "enhance" a photo, it does not show up in slideshow, it is just black. I am using Iphoto. I also can't email these "enhanced" photos.

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Why are my slideshow images interfering with other slideshow images?

On my site, I have a specific slideshow for the home page. I have also set up two other slideshows on my site that include completely different images. In each individual slideshow, I uploaded separate images from separate folders. I am confused as to why one of the slideshows images keeps on appearing in all of the slideshows.
Here is a link to my site im working on:
kianstewart.com
Navigate to the portfolio view a few of the links, and also try navigating back to the home page.

Hi Kian
This can happen if you have copied the slideshow from one page to another and then tried to change the image, please check the image linked and relink them again.
Thanks,

Slideshow image quality/color rendering

I´m quite frustrated after discovering that some of my images look quite poor displayed by the slideshow module. My situation ist as follows:
LR 5.2 running on Mac OS X 10.8.5, 1:1 previews are rendered, preview quality is set to high, and I´m using a sample image showing a dark cloudy sky with some fine gradients; my slideshow preset doesn´t use any borders as I read this often causes quality issues.
When I´m in the Develop module, there is no problem at all, even in fullscreen display mode on my 1920x1200 display the gradients are perfectly rendered.
In Library module, when displaying fullscreen, quality is okay, but I can see some slight difference compared to the Develop module - which I understand after reading that in Develop the output is based on the actual raw data, and in all the other modules on rendered previews.
Now, when in Slideshow module, the image quality is significantly lower than in Library and I see some quite obvious banding in the gradients. I don´t have problems with blocking artifacts but the banding/posterization is considerably worse compared to a JPEG export with a quality setting of, for example, 75.
I can´t imagine LR´s slideshow tool would be working with a lower color depth than the 8 bit as in standard JPEGs, right? Did I miss any of LR´s parameters that influence the image quality of Lightroom slideshows or of the previews used therefore? Otherwise do you have some other explanations or hints for me in order to get this fixed? We do everything to capture our images in the best possible quality so we should also be able to present them properly after all...
Thanks a lot for any advice!
Toby

In-Lr slideshow images look like crap on my system too (dull contrast and de-saturated shifted color).
My guess is some issue with icc-profile/monitor-profile or something, but I'm not qualified for assessing.. - could just be a bug in Lr that only bites some, dunno...
I use ShowBiz instead, which works well on my Windows box, and it should also work on your Mac box.

Full Screen Slideshow image sizing issue

Hi all,
I am creating full screen slideshow for the first time.
I have added the slideshow into the DEISGN mode and it all looks perfectly fine. However, once I am in PREVIEW or PREVIEW IN BROWSER mode the image is at fullscreen but it seems to be zoomed in or cropped tighter.
The slideshow images are set to FILL FRAME PROPORTIONALLY. I have tried experimenting with different settings, page sizes, changing margins, changing header/footer guides, different image sizes etc... but no success.
I am on a 27-inch (2560 x 1440) IMAC.
help???
I have attached two images to show what I mean. Notice in PREVIEW mode how the image appears to be tighter/cropped/magnified.
Thanks

Thanks Zac,
So do you think I should change to Fit Content Proportionally?
And then recrop my images so the aspect ratios match my browser window or the page dimensions in Muse?
Sorry if these are stupid questions. I'm new to all this

I can swipe slideshow images but can I swipe pages in tablet version

I can swipe slideshow images but can I swipe pages in tablet version

What swiping is involved with making purchases?
Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons simultaneously, ignoring the red power off slider, until the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. This should not affect any content on the iPad, it is similar to rebooting your computer.

Slideshow images not showing on website

I published my website to a folder, then uploaded it to hosting site using Fetch.
All pages and images show correctly, except for slideshow images on one page of my site.
I am using Linux OS.
Any suggestions as to what might be causing this?
Did I build the website correctly?
Thanks for your help!

1. Firstly make sure that you have actually uploaded the
images to the
server. At the moment I'm getting an error page when I try to
get to
them directly via the browser. This could mean they aren't at
the
location where the browser is expecting them to be.
2. If that isn't the problem make sure they are saved in RGB
color mode
and not CMYK

I have the Photoshop Elements 11 and when I use the stamp effect the image becomes totally black. It used to have my line drawing in white, now, just a black image. I need the stamp effect. also, most other effects simply crash the program.

Which operating system are you using?
Some filters like Filter>Sketch>Stamp need to have two different colors for the Foreground and Background set in the toolbox.
Press the D key to set the default toolbox color swatches to Black and White and then try the Stamp filter.
If your using mac os x 10.9 or 10.10, then some of the filters under Filter>Sketch will crash pse 11
They are Filter>Sketch>Comic, Graphic Novel and Pen and Ink
Otherwise resetting the pse11 editor preferences might resolve the crashing.
Go to Photoshop Elements Editor(Edit)>General, click on Reset Preferences on Next Launch and then restart the pse 11 editor

Slideshow image resizing when adding new images

I am creating a series of slideshows on multiple pages. I created one slide show using the "basic" slideshow and resized it to the dimensions and settings I wanted. I have many pictures all of different proportion, therefore, I selected the "fill frame proportionally" so they would all fit the dimension I set. I wanted to use this first slideshow as a template for all of the rest. I added images to this first slideshow with no problems. All of my different sized images scaled or cropped to fit within the dimension I set. The problem comes in when I do two things: 1) When I add other images of different dimensions to this same slideshow gallery, they come smaller that the intended dimensions I set previous. I check the setting and it is still on "fill frame proportionally" similar to the first batch of pictures. 2) The second issue is when copy this slideshow as a template to other pages. When I try to replace or add to the slideshow gallery, the images come in cropped or smaller rather than filling the frame. Again, the settings are still the same from my very first slideshow that worked just as i intended.
I could resize all the images to all the same dimensions using another program like photoshop, but that is another step that is very tedious and it would seem that it should be something built into Muse.
Is there a way around this?. Am I doing something wrong? Or is this just one of those glitches that happens with Muse? I appreciate any help that I can get.
Thanks!

Hi, I got it to work like this:
Using background colours in Photoshop so that all sizes are the same in pixels. Then manually adjusting thumbnails by double-clicking on them so that a red square appears.
Cheers,

Hi there Elsemiekagain,
I had to fiddle around with my slide show to get it to work. That is, it worked at first, then went funky, and I had to fiddle. So much fiddling that I can't possibly know what actually made it start to work again.
And to some degree, this is the way that I find Muse to be in general. That it requires finessing to get it to work as expected. This adds a good deal of time to every development project, though I am getting better at this with practice and experience.
Most of it is not even things that could be easily put in words as instructions, as many are nanced. But in fairness, this version of Muse is a complete code re-write this year. So we do need to cut Adobe some slack, and give the team time to iron things out.
