Slideshow - Order of Images - Sorting

The only sorting optons for collections and playing a slideshow are:
Capture time
Import order
Edit time
Edit count
Rating
Pick
Color Label
File Name
File Extension
File Type
Aspect ratio
User order
Through a combination of ratings and color labels, I have trimmed 2400 photos to about 500. For the most part, I want the photos arranged in the order of the capture time. But for wide and closeup shots of the same scene, I want the wide shots to appear first in the slideshow, followed by the related close-up shots. At this point, and given the large number of photos for the slide show, the only alternative above that allows for rearranging the order is "User order".
I don't see where the user specifies the input field or metadata for "user order." I thought it may be related to the order the user clicks images into the collection, but this is not the case.
It appears there is no way to drag and drop or insert images using a mouse to rearrange the order. That would be ideal and consistent with the visual design of Lightroom.
Can anyone help with rearranging the order? I don't want to edit the image capture time solely to rearrange a slideshow. This would be very cumbersome.

After more testing with a smaller sample, the user order is the sequence the photos were added to the collection. When I first experimented with this, the user order of my test sample was the same as image capture time because I did a massive import to the collection (rather than photo by photo). When I was expecting a different sort order for image capture vs user order, I did not realize the sort order in my particular situation would be identical.
So the work-around to specify a precise order is to first select and edit all of the photos for inclusion or exclusion from the slideshow. Then add the draft slide show picks into a second collection one by one in the exact order desired in the final slideshow. For sorting the final collection, select the last option - User select.
There should be an easier way to accomplish this task. With 500 photos to arrange in order, it would be easy to make a mistake and miss a photo or put one in the wrong place. Perhaps you could change the color code after adding a photo to a collection to help in keeping track of the rearranging / sorting. This adds time to the already slow and tedious process.
Any other ideas?

Save manual ordering of images in a project?

Hi there,
I have a project with images from lots of different cameras which I have edited down ready for making up an Aperture book. I have also laboriously re-ordered the images, into rough "chapter" order. The little indicator at top left correctly enough has the ordfer labelled as "manual" - my question is, can I close down Aperture and have the images appear in the same order when I open the programme again? Ideally, I'd like to pull the whole lot into the book and have them arrange themselves in the same, manual order in the book, so I can then resize, finetune etc.
Thanks for your help!

The little indicator at top left correctly enough has the ordfer labelled as "manual" - my question is, can I close down Aperture and have the images appear in the same order when I open the programme again?
This is an undocumented feature - at least I have never seen a written guarantee-, but so far Aperture has always preserved my manual ordering of images in library items, like projects, albums, slideshow,... and always shown the same sequence of images as before after quitting and reopening.
But what is your Aperture version? Your profile signature says Mac OS X (10.5.6). I have never used Aperture on this system, so I cannot make any guarantees for earlier Aperture versions. I only tested on Aperture 3.2.4 and later. And in some cases Aperture will shuffle images around when using manually arranged images for a product, like for a slideshow. The recommended workflow is to do the manual arranging in the final album, not before adding to the album, this is safer. Or to add tags to the images that you can use for sorting, like numbered version names or headlines.
But if you already have decided on the images you want to use, why not create the book with these images at once, before you quit Aperture? You do not have to finish the book in one go - my books ususally take a full month to finish
To create a book from the images in your project select them all at once in the Browser and use the command "File > New > Book". Then check, if they arrived in the correct sort order in the book album and quit.

Exporting 30 minute aperture 3 slideshow and incorrect image sequence

I have just exported a 30 minute slideshow in 1080p from Aperture 3 overnight, a combination of photos and videos taken on my iphone. I added various music tracks and all plays fine in preview. After export the music plays correct but is accompanied by incorrect photos and videos from the sequence, as if the order of images/videos has got shuffled up! I have all the latest updates installed. Has anyone else experienced this and know a workaround?

Oh, baby! This bad boy flies!! Here's what to expect:
I had 40,000 images in Aperture 3 and it was dog slow at everything. I installed 3.1 update today. It took 5 minutes to update the database and then behaved marginally better than before at ASIC library navigation. I was disappointed.
Then I QUIT the app. It took a couple of hours to "update files for sharing" with a counter that went to 110,000 images. So it must have updated every thumbnail and variation of preview. Turned it back on , and BAM. Came up fully in seconds. Paused for 10 seconds ten everything was lickrty split. For the first time ever, I can use the Projects view with all 791 projects and scroll quickly. I even put it in photos modevand whipped thru all 49,000 images!
Haven't done anybprocessing yet, but i'm liking it!!

Reversed order of images emailed from LR5 on a Mac

This has been a problem ever since LR3 and on previous versions of the MacOS. I hoped that it would be fixed in LR5, but not yet. When I select multiple images for email in LR5 on a Mac running Mavericks, the preview shows the images in the correct order, but in the email message itself, the order is reversed so that the last image is first and the first image is last. Nothing helps. If you select the images in a different order, the result is the same backwards order. Others have noted this problem, see messages from Bud, AJ, and SC in the middle of this page of comments on Julianne Kost's blog starting in December 2012: Lightroom – How Do You Change the Order of Images, Before Renaming? « Julieanne Kost's Blog
The only workaround is to create a separate export for each image or to export a folder of images and manually add them to a single email. I can't imagine that this would be a hard bug to fix, so please, Adobe, do so!
In addition, it would be helpful if there were a space between images in the email so that the images don't all run together in one long strip. There should be a way to have this happen by setting up a style or template so that it does not have to be done manually.

SASanderson wrote:
Do you have a suggestion for automatically adding a space between images?
I don't think you have control if using the native email feature (but I could be wrong). I'm not a Mac expert, but I suspect the solution would be something like exporting to an applescript and having that talk to apple-mail. Or running an apple-script after exporting to the emailer to add the space post-facto. Or, if you could find a special Mac email plugin which had more flexibility..
I use an Outlook macro for formatting messages with emails exported by Lightroom, but that wouldn't help you on the Mac (other than perhaps conceptually).
Sorry I can't be more help.

Slideshow vertical hero image aligns left

Using the slideshow widget with a vertical image sometimes results in the hero image randomly aligning to the left instead of centered. All the hero images are positioned in the center of the content area. The slideshow frame is the full width of the content area so that each image slides in from right to left (due to the Horizontal setting for Transition). The Y coordinate is 10 for the slideshow content (and the hero image container). Horizontal images have not shown a shift to the left. Not all vertical images exibit the behaviour (one slideshow with 20 images, 5 of them vertical, had 4 which shifted left, one displayed properly centered).
I have only seen this on my Phone layout, not on the Tablet or Desktop layouts. The problem shows when in Preview mode, Preview Page in Browser and on an iPhone 4s.
NOTE: After further troubleshooting I found something that seems to resolve the issue. If I move the Y coordinate of the image to 11 (slideshow content is at Y: 10) the image stops shifting to the far left and aligns properly to the center. It doesn't make sense, since other horizontal images are set at Y: 10 and even a few pixels taller but have not exibited the problem.

I noticed when I add a drop shadow to the hero image in the slide show, the hero image when viewed in browser or preview, then aligns left, when I remove the drop shadow from the hero image, then the content is properly aligned.

Restart your Mac and your scanner and try scanning an image.

IPhoto slideshows - randomly rotating images.

Hi People, can you help?
I've put photos from my Nikon onto the hard drive and imported some into iPhoto v5. I then rotated the ones needing it, but when I run a slideshow the rotated images sometimes appear correct, but then appear rotated again, sometimes squashed and sometimes the correct aspect. What the heck is going on please?

KB:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Does your Nikon have a auto rotate option? What version of iPhoto are you running? With an auto rotate camera a tag is written to the file to tell the application to show it rotated but the file itself is not. iPhoto 5.0.4 corrected the problem of iPhoto not reading and interpreting that tag properly. However even with 5.0.4 sometime if you are to use one of those files in an external application like Word, etc. it will revert back to the unrotated view as Word does not read the tag.
This may be what you're experiencing, particularly if you're not running 5.0.4. If you are and the files were imported in an earlier version you'd still have the problem. So you may have some of those auto rotated images that were imported before and after you updated to 5.0.4.

Broad Question - Horizontal Scrolling Slideshow with Still Images

Hi everyone,
I have to make a horizontal scrolling slideshow using many images of different filetypes, sizes and DPI in Premiere Pro CS5.5. I have tried a few different methods but each has its own problems:
1. Arrange still images horizontally in the timeline, adjacent to eachother, and apply a custom Push video transition between each one. This is a consistent method that doesnt require much work but it's tough to control the amount of whitespace between the images, especially when the images are all different proportions.
2. Arrange still images both horizontally and vertically in the timeline, so that there is no white space between the images (the images overlap across multiple video lanes). Then, set up motion fx for the position of the image for each clip. This is tedious and I have to make every clip the same size and make sure the distance each clip travels (in the motion fx) is the same. So for instance, I have to set the starting key to 1200 on the x-axis, and the ending key to -300, for every single image (tedious when there are many). Another problem with this is that it becomes very difficult to change the duration of the motion fx once ive set it up for many.
3. To have an easier time composing the arrangement of images, I just make a single giant image by laying out dozens of photos in InDesign, then export a very wide jpeg. The great thing about this is it's fast, easy, and the composition is exactly how i want it. The bad thing is that premiere doesn't handle many megapixel images well, and furthermore the image quality is horrific compared to the quality of importing individual images.
The biggest problem with all of these is the image quality (extremely poor compared to viewing the source images on their own) and the animation smoothness (all three methods produce very jittery and erratic videos). The biggest question I have is: should I even be doing a slideshow in Premiere? Can someone recommend a better application I should be using for something like this? Do i have to learn Flash? I am not trying to make an interactive thing, just a video/animation where I hit play and dozens of images scroll horizontally, at the same speed, with a lot of control over the scaling of the images and their horizontal and vertical arrangement (the amount of whitespace between them).
Thanks for everyone's time and help!

I'm actually trying to find the date i visited a site. adding columns allow the order to be sorted but not show a date. Please tell me it there's a way to see the date. the sidebar no longer has the option for date. the most recent only shows the time.

If you only see the time then that would mean that you see an entry of the current day (today).
History items from past days should have the date as well in the Most Recent Visit column.
You should be able to see this changing if you open the last 7 days folder and scroll down.

Auto slideshow with progressive image load

Hello everyone,
Does anyone know of a good autoplay slideshow script that
starts with the
first image on page load and then downloads the additional
images when
called? In other words, if there are 20 images in the
slideshow, it doesn't
load all 20 images before displaying the first.
I have just a couple of specific requirements.
I don't need any controls (pause, forward, etc) on it.
Most of the javascript slideshows I've looked at in Google or
have in my
snippet list have the image name hardcoded in the script.
Image1.jpg, image2.jpg, etc, which won't work.
I'll be feeding the images dynamically depending on the
category the user
chooses and the image names are variable.
I'm currently using javascript that automatically shows and
hides divs with
the same class name by changing the display style from none
to block and
back to none as it loops through them.
This works well as I can dynamically write as many divs as
needed by looping
through all the items in a category.
But alas, this one still doesn't start to run until all the
images are
downloaded.
You can see it here:
http://www.onelongfellowsquare.com/
There's actually 3 "slideshows", stacked one on top of the
next, using this
in the "Featured" section.
Thank you for any help or ideas.
Take care,
Tim

Thanks, Jeff.
That's the functionality I was looking for.
I just need to figure out the best way to dynamically fill
the array with
image names from a database.
Take care,
Tim

Difference between ordered by and sorted by?

hi,
Can any1 tell me wats the actual difference between ordered by and sorted by???

Generally speaking, when talking math, one talks about an "ordering" in some set of values. Usually one doesn't actually place them in order; the order is already there, implicit in the values. When talking computer science, one talks about "sorting" because the values may be in a sequence which violates the desired order, and you have to sort the sequence to match the order. "Sorting" isn't as relevant in math because there is no sense of the items being out of sequence when the order is established.
So "order" describes the ideal (which mathematicians care about).
"Sort" describes the practical, the activity needed to make the real match the ideal (which computer sciences care about).
That's my intuitive feeling on it, anyway.

Slideshow with Fading Images

Is there a tutorial around on creating a slideshow with
fading images. I want to drop my images into a folder. 01.jpg,
02.jpg etc. and then have an actionscript automatically fade them
in and out.
Does someone know how to do this dynamically. I know it can
be done. I want all of the .jpg images to reside in a folder and
then I want the images to load and play automatically using an .XML
file.
Thanks

I would do it with this code:
on frame 1:
mc = function() {
num = (Math.round(Math.random()*27));
//----------------------------------------- 27 being the
number of images i have (name them from 0.jpg to 26.jpg
totalfilename = num + ".jpg";
_root.picLoader.loadMovie("
http://www.yoursite/yourimageFolder/"
+ totalfilename);
//----------------------------------------picLoader being my
empty movie clip where the pictures are loaded
mc();
clearInterval(mc.intID);
mc.intID = setInterval(mc, 20000);
// ----------------------------------------------- every 20
sec the picture will change randomly
then on the emptyMovieClip ad this code:
// this will fade the image in
onClipEvent (load)
this._alpha = 0;
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
if (this._alpha < 100)
this._alpha = this._alpha + 5;
} // end if
if (this._alpha >= 100)
this._alpha = 100;
} // end if
I hop this helped

Ignore it. 'itunes:order' is a recent addition which FeedValidator doesn't know about. If your podcast is rejected that is unlikely to be the reason. Of course as you haven't posted the feed URL nor the text of the error message I can't make any further comment.

Order of images in slideshow ...

I'm sure this has been asked before but I can't find the answer with google or here.
I'm using lightroom 3 - how can I change the order of the images in a slideshow .... I'd love to be able to drag and drop the images into the order that I want but that does not sem possible .... so how do I do this please?

Michael
You can order your photos in Library Module, in Grid mode. To be able to establish a user sort order, you must be either
In a collection (not a smart collection)
In a bottom level folder (no more subfolders underneath it)
In a non-bottom level folder, but without having "Include Photos from Subfolders" marked
A collection is my prefered way for slideshows, since you can
Select the photos you want
Order them as you like

Creating a manual sort order for images in LR?

So I have been using LR for a few weeks now, and generally once I am done editing and processing, I amend the order of the images by manually dragging the images about in either library or develop mode. I find sorting them into like groups makes it easier for others to look through them. Now, suddunly, LR is letting me 'drag' amd image, but it wont 'drop' it in the desired spot.
I feel like I must have accidently pushed some strange button...but I can't figure out where?

Hey! I solved my own question! In case anyone else is stumped, here is the answer:
There seem to be two issued LR is picky about:
1. You need to select the image, not the surrounding grey 'slide mount' area.
2. Near as I can figure, it wasnt letting me sort because I was in 'previous import', under catalogue. When I selected the 'date' of the image under 'folder' it worked!
