Slideshow orientation

Using apple tv (3G) from my iphone 3G I have difficulties displaying my photos with the slideshow feature all in the proper orientation on the tv screen. In single picture mode everything looks ok ( both portrait and landscape pictures are displayed properly on the TV Screen); same photos, however, displayed through the slideshow have wrong orientation for portrait mode photos. How can I fix this or what do I do wrong?
-Latest Software levels are installed for all devices.-

I'm not using any editing or management apps on the 3GS. The photos are being used "as is" out of the input folder. As long as the photos are sent individually from the iphone, everything is in the proper orientation. Only when these photos are displayed in a slideshow, some photos are misorientated. After setting the proper orientation in the iphone editor, orientation is ok. However, it is hard to find out which photos need to be corrected, since on the iphone every photo is displayed in the proper orientation!

IPhoto rotates images in slideshow even though the thumbnail for that images has the correct orientation.

This problem seems bizarre to me considering iPhoto 11 has worked with out a hitch since I upgraded from 09 ages ago. The photos in my album suddenly changed orientation from landscape to portrait and vice versa and sometimes upside down. I first notice this problem after I tried to click and drag a large number of photos directly from iPhoto to Finder. I did a Command-A to highlight all the photos from my album and tried to drag them to a folder in Finder. There are 34,000 photo in this album but only half were copied, (I guess 34,000 items is too much for Lion to copy all at once). I tried fixing this orientation problem by highlighting all affected photos and selecting "Revert to Original" which fixed the orientation of the thumbnails. But when you double click on a thumbnail to view the pictures or view the album in a slideshow, some of the pictures still have the incorrect orientation but most were corrected. Also if I double click on an affected photos to edit it with iPhoto image editor the image suddenly orientates itself correctly. Then as soon as I close the image editor and view the photo or start a slide show it's displayed with the incorrect orientation again. How is that possible that all my thumbnails are orientated properly but when I view the photo it's rotated sideways or sometimes rotated upside down? Any help or insight to my problem would be much appreciated.

Revereting to original will not fix the problem. When you invoke that menu option iPhoto will read the file again, see the tag that tells it to rotate the file and will rerotate it.
The most reliable way to fix this is to rotate those file before they are imported into iPhoto. Upload from the camera to a folder on the Desktop, rotate those that need rotating, rename if desired and import. I use Xee for that because it can rotate the file losslessly.

I have a new MacBook Pro with iPhoto installed. I edit photos, mainly photo orientation via rotating, but when I go back to run a slideshow the changes weren't saved and the photo is back to vertical...please help...thanks

I have a new MacBook Pro with Iphoto installed when purchased. When editing a photo, primarily orientation changes, the slideshow initially displays the photos in proper orientation. However, after leaving Iphoto and shutting down the computer, and then going back to run a slideshow the photo displays back to its' original orientation, that is, the edit-change was not saved. Please help...the program information says all edit-changes are automatically save and therefore there is no save command, but my changes are not being saved...thank you for any suggestions...HM

what version of iPhoto and of the OS?
Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

Changing Orientation in a slideshow

When you create a slideshow in iPhoto 6 the orientation is automatically changed. How do you turn this off? It becomes annoying when you change the orientation in an album and then it is changed back in the slideshow.

TST:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It's apparently a bug in this latest version of iPhoto when dealing with photos from cameras with the auto-rotate feature. One possible workaround would be to do a minor edit on the image after rotating. You can open the Adjust panel and make a very minor Exposure or other edit and then save. This should create a new modified files with the rotation correct that will be used in the slideshow. I don't have any photos in my library with auto-rotate so can't test it out. Give it a try and let us know if that works.

Slideshow with origami transitions - photo orientation changed

I started playing around with the slideshow, and was happy with the origami transitions until I realized that for a few of my photos, it had rotated the images 90 degrees. They consistently showed up in the wrong orientation as the slideshow cycled through all my images.
Is there a way to specify which is the desired orientation for display in the slideshow for a photo?
And I wasn't messing with the angle of the iPad at all, so it wasn't changing the screen display orientation...
Thanks!

Updating the information regarding photo orientation with AppleTV screen saver.
Clear instructions: Click on photo in iPhoto, then go to File, choose 'Reveal in Finder', select 'Original File'. A window opens up where the original photo file is held. Open the photo in Preview. Rotate photo as needed. Close and save. You are done. Restart your AppleTV and turn your photos on and off to share in iTunes. Ta Da, it all works and it's very easy.
Hope this is helpful.

Photoshop Elements 10 Slideshow Image Orientation

Hi,
I wonder if anyone can help me please? My OS is WIndows 7 Premium and I am using Photoshop Elements and Premier 10.
I have created a slideshow in Photoshop Elements and saved this to DVD (PAL as I am in the UK). All images are the correct orientation and display correctly when on my PC. However, once saved on DVD and played through my DVD player to the TV there are a number of images being displayed in the incorrect orientation.
Does anyone know how to correct this please?
Thanks.

Hi everyone,
I agree with suspicion that Premiere Elements is probably making the mistake of displaying the photos incorrectly. However, I suspect that avoiding the problem by actions in the Organizer may be the most practical alternative.
Ken, can you help with some details ?
1 - I am not at a computer where I can verify this statement -- but I think that in earlier versions of the Organizer, there is an Organizer Preference which controls how the photo is rotated (by orientation indicator only) or by actually rotating the photo. And by orientation indicator only is the default. Does that Preference still exist in version 10 ? If yes, then I think rotating multiple photos at the same time within the Organizer would probably be a circumvention of the problem that shows on the photo orientation on the DVD.
2 -- My expereince and what I have seen reported on these forums is that the Elements Organizer does recognize an Orientation indicator which has been set in a photo file by the camera. So portrait mode photos which come from the camera with this Orientation indicator usually (maybe always) display correctly within the organizer.
Therefore since this thread says "All images are the correct orientation and display correctly when on my PC", I suspect that the person originating this thread did not make any orientation correction.
3-- The type of approach that I believe some people have successfully used, is to first set the Organizer preference to actually rotate the photo file: then do
-- one rotate if necessary to have the photo display correctly in the Organizer
-- if the portrait photo initially looked OK in the Organizer, then 2 rotates would be done : first would set the photo on its side (temporarily) and then the second rotate would be back in the other direction. These actions can be done for multiple selected photos.
4-- OR as an alternative to 3 (above), if the slide show has already been constructed within the Organizer Slide Show Editor, then there are methods to initiate an edit of a specific photo file which transfers to the PSE editor and can take the action of changing orientation in the PSE editor.,
FYi - Mt Ventoux,
Don't be discouraged by all the details I am discussing while we explore the best solution for you.

Vertically Oriented Photos in Slideshow?

Is it just me or do the slideshow widgets only accept horizontally oriented photos? When I upload a vertically oriented photo, i.e. it's taller than it is wider, the slideshow rotates it to horizontal, turning the photo sideways.
Any way around this?
Thank you!
- Bob

Really frustrated with this seeming limitation to the Muse slideshows. I've searched everywhere for an answer, or even anyone else having an issue with this. I really want vertical images to show in the slideshow. Help...?

Have you looked at Delete and Close Gap as well as Delete for what you describe?
Nonetheless, adding or moving clips to an existing Timeline content without disturbing the existing Timeline content can be challenging and complex under certain scenarios.
Typical solutions include making these moves with a keyboard modified held down (Windows Alt or Ctr). I am strictly an Elements Windows user, so we will need to find the Mac counterparts for the Windows keyboard modifier techniques.
Also, if one move triggers a multi-chain disaster, then you should consider grouping block of clips so that they do not move while you are busy with your Timeline maneuvers. Check out the Clip Menu options for Group and Ungroup.
Some times in the "Mac condition", you need to use fn in addition to the command to achieve some of these Windows counterparts.
The following video tutorial on arranging clips and keyboard modifiers is being posted for informational non promotional reasons.
Premiere Elements: Arranging clips on the Timeline using modifier keys | lynda.com - YouTube
It is demo'd with Premiere Elements 8, but the principles are the same for later versions of the program.
Here is one variation of the issue on Windows.
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE: Delete and Close Gap Failures
You should not have to delete audio to prevent it from being split by an addition to an existing Timeline. The keyboard modifiers should help you resolve this type of issue.
Please review and consider.
Thanks.

Portrait photo orientation issue when viewed in slideshow

I have experienced this problem since first upgrading to 8.0. I have upgraded to 8.02, but this problem persists.
Most (but not all) of my portrait photos display incorrectly during slideshows (but display correctly otherwise). The pictures are rotated 90 degrees and are squished vertically and stretched horizontally. The result are pictures that fill a portrait oriented "frame" but are sideways, squat and stretched width-wise.
As near as I can tell, all my photos that I took with my digital cameras (all Canons of various models) have this problem, while only some photos I have received from friends have this issue. Perhaps it is an issue with iPhoto reading Canon's orientation flag? But why is it only a problem in slideshows?
I'm uncertain if this is relevant, but I've also noticed none of my portrait photos display properly when viewed via Front Row.
So far the only trouble shooting ideas I've been able to think of are:
1 - Remake my slideshows from scratch
2 - Rebuild my photo library.
Neither of these fixed my problem. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Try quitting iPhoto and trashing your iPhoto preferences file ("your username" ==> library ==> preferences ==> con.apple.iPhoto.plist) when you launch iPhoto a new default one will be created - reset any user preferences you have changed and repoint iPhoto to the library if you have moved it

Slideshow and orientation of photos

I am about to create a DVD with a slideshow of some of my pictures. I am using PSE and PRE both in version 8. Most is working fine except that some (not all) of my photos taken i portrait view are rotated 90 degrees to much. I myself are really not doing anything with this, just using the auto-rotate functionality in my two camera's when the picture is taken (let the pictures be tagged). All pictures are shown fine in the organiser, all ar shown fine when they are displayed as a slideshow on screen on my PC - BUT if I am trying to create a videosequence out of them (by using the create-functionality), some of the autorotated portrait pictures are rotated once again, but not all! (Probably due to two different cameras)
Have found one clue for earlier version: Rotate to and from once - to no avail
Any other tip out there?
Have tried to create a slideshow/videosequence directrly in PRE8, then I get a different problem as the pictures are not scaled down to the screen size...

Multiple people have reported problems with Portriat Mode photos which have an Orientation Indicator when using the PSE to PRE workflow for slideshows with version 8. Here are some comments and suggestions based on previous experiences that I have seen in forums and emails.
Have found one clue for earlier version: Rotate to and from once - to no avail
Any other tip out there?
1- APPROACH 1 -- The rotate approach has worked for other people when
-- that rotate (to and from)is done in the Organzer thumbnail area BEFORE the photo is placed in the Slide Show Editor (of PSE) and
-- when the Organizer Preference of "Rotate JPEGs using Orientation Metadata" is NOT checked
When using this approach you can multiple select the thumbnails of the photos to be rotated.
2 - there may be other possibilies of the timing for doing the rotate that will work.
What I suggest is that you post when you did the rotate and whether it was done in the Photoshop Elements Editor, Premiere Elements or Organizer workspace.
3- FYI - You say that you are unsure why some portrait photos have this problem and other photos do not. If both cameras were set for using an Orientation indicator, then a possible explanation is that SOME of your photos had been edited by the Photoshop Elements editor and others had not. The photos processed by the Photoshop Elements editor are likely to look OK in Priemere Elements. (note: not sure if this is 100% but I am not aware of specific types of exceptions).
3 - APPROACH 2 -- for the slide show that you have already built, you can try the approach of initiating an Edit in Photoshop Elements for the individual photos which have this problem.
For individual problematic photo from within either the Slide Show Editor or from within Premere Elements, select that photo and choose the option to edit within the Photoshop Elements editor, adjust as desired and save.
Note that after your slideshow has been transferred and is in Premiere Elements (timeline and scencline), changes must be made using Premiere Elements. (you can't bring individual changes over from the slide show editor that you used from Photoshop Elements in to Premiere Elements).

Photo orientation in Slideshow

I am having a problem whereby when i put portrait pictures into a slideshow, it is presented horizontally. The strange thing is that when opened in preview or photoshop, the image is presented correctly. DVDSP seems to want to lay portrate photos on thier side! Am i missing a 'rotate' setting or something?
Cheers

It seems that saving in the same format just makes a note about the rotation that DVDSP doesn't read. Open a PSD in Preview, do a rotate, and Save As PICT. The PICT will read correctly in DVDSP.

Slideshow Photo orientation

Hi,
I cannot get the sideshows to show portrait orientation
photos. They turn to landscape sideways even I turn them in the
setup phase. Anyone having same trouble with CS3?
- jari -

Myra,
The Slide Show Preferences that appear by default when you start creating a slide show have choices for
Crop to Fit
for Landscape and for Portrait photos
These choices are checked by default. I usually uncheck both of these boxes and then I see the entire image for my portrait photos on the "Slide" with black background on either side. (you can change the background to another color is you wish)
A mystery is that I thought that unchecking only the Portrait box should have been sufficient to control a portrait mode photo, however I have experienced cases where in version 7 I found it necessary to also uncheck the landscape box also in order to see all of a portrait mode photo.

Slideshow picture orientation problem

I found some very old posts on apparently related problems, but nothing recent. It is June 3, 2012. My AppleTV firmware is current. My iPad (3) OS is up to date. As best I can tell, everything is up to date.
When I play a slideshow on my iPad, it plays perfectly.
When I play the same slideshow using AppleTV, pictures which should be displayed 'vertically' are displayed rotated 90 degrees, i.e., horizontally.
I'm not willing to edit my pictures to correct this. There are simply too many, plus, they display correctly everywhere except in an AppleTV slideshow and in the wonderful windows picture viewer which Microsoft doesn't seem inclined to ever fix. They display correctly using AppleTV 'manually'. The slideshow feature is the only place I see a problem.
So it seems clear to me that there is a software issue associated with running a slideshow using AppleTV. The problem could be in the iPad. The problem could be in the AppleTV. Perhaps, if one really stretches, the problem could be in my wireless network. The only thing that is certain is that there is a problem. Please help!

Create a new test library and import a few of the problem files into it to see if they will display properly. If they do then it's a problem with the current library. If they don't then you'll need to see if it's system wide or limited to your account. To do that log into another account, create a test library and try there. If you don't have a second account it's a good thing to have because it's a great troubleshooting tool. Just create a non-admin test account.
If it works in the second account your primary account is causing it. It could be some other preference file other than iPhoto's that is the culprit. Here's how to determine if that's the case:
Trouble Shooting Preferences in Leopard
1 - Create a folder titled "Preferences A" on the Desktop.
2 - Open the working Preferences folder, HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences, and move the contents to the Preferences A folder on the Desktop.
3 - Make a duplicate copy of the Preferences A folder on the Desktop as a precautionary backup.
4 - With the working Preferences folder empty run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed.
5 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Preferences folder (HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences).
B - Open the Preferences A folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here.
6 - If the problem is NOT fixed, empty the working Preferencess folder and move the contents of the Preferences folder on the desktop back into it.
If the problem persists in both accounts a reinstall of iPhoto may be warranted. If it gets to that point you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder before you install iPhoto from the disk it came on.

Photos synching across to ATV in the wrong orientation

The orientation of all of my photos are corrected and on my Powerbook. However, once synched to ATV and viewed in Slideshow, some of the photos appear in the wrong orientation (i.e. sideways on). There doesn't appear to be any ATV setting to adjust orientation. Is anyonbe else experiencing this and has anyone got any suggestions or better still, a solution?

Hi, I have already reported this problem as a bug using Apple's bug/enhancement request website.
I started experiancing this problem in 2.4 and thru 3.0 and now 3.0.1.
The photos show correctly as thumbnails as well as when displayed as the screen saver when listening to music.
They only display incorrectly when viewed as a slideshow so it is clearly a AppleTV software problem.
I certainly look forward to it being fixed as it makes the Apple not suitable to show pics to friends and families.
Thanks, Paul

Full screen preview and slideshow are blurry / fuzzy

Hi folks-
I just upgraded from CS2 to CS4, in part to improve efficiency of selecting photos - I wanted the zoom and loupe features. Unfortunately a very basic function has been compromised and I'm hoping there's a solution: In both full-screen preview and slideshow the full-screen image is notably blurry. This is a problem for two reasons: 1. I can't judge pictures accurately by just flipping through them in full-screen mode (without zooming to 100% to see if they are well-focused). 2. I can't use Slideshow for, well, slideshows. I've had to resort to keeping another app (like Windows Picture Viewer) open just to be able to quickly flip through and evaluate images full-screen or to show slideshows.
I've tried setting all the options related to image quality (they mostly have to do with caching thumbnails and speeding 100% viewing); I've tried purging the cache files. Nothing helps.
Any ideas? Thanks!

It seems to me that there is something wrong with it.
I am trying Bridge CS4 as a viewer for my JPEG files.
I also noticed that the previews were fuzzy. I activated the high-quality previews as well as the option to generate the previews at screen size.
Here's what I noticed. I went to check out a specific photo that is quite sharp with a number of straight lines, angles, details, where it's very easy to detect a lack of sharpness. That photo immediately looked fuzzy to me, which didn't jive with my memory of it. I quickly opened it in other viewers, which displayed it as intended with all the expected sharpness.
So, I went through the settings to see where the problem could be and I immediately thought of checking the box to get software previews instead of hardware, restarted the app, purged the cache, tried again. There my photo had recovered its sharpness, or at least most of it. I thought I found the culprit, but not quite.
I went to browse other photos and found one in particular with a lot of fine detail (hair) and that photo also didn't display all the sharpness that it should have (I was still using software mode). The difference was very slight and to make sure of it it required A/B comparison between Bridge and PS, but there was a difference.
Now I tried the opposite. I went back to hardware rendering mode, restarted, purged the cache, tried again. That second photo looked alright in preview, but the previous photo looked fuzzy again.
So, it doesn't work the same way for each photo...
What's the main difference between the first photo, obviously fuzzy in hardware mode, and the second one, alright in hardware mode but slightly fuzzier in software? The ratio. The first one is a vertical photo, the second one is horizontal (close to square).
I quickly checked other vertical photos and they showed the same behavior...
Now staying in hardware mode, I noticed something else. When I preview the vertical photo and click on it, or double click, it quickly jumps, switching between 2 versions of the photo: the one displayed originally (fuzzy) and another one, with a very slightly different size, which is sharp. During that manipulation it also briefly displays "100%" at the top of the screen. It doesn't stick when you click and immediately switches back, so it looks like a glitch.
Now in software mode, I tried the same, this time you can click once on the photo (which is originally displayed *almost* sharp). When you click once, it displays "100%" but also displays a very slightly smaller version that is clearly fuzzy. Clicking again goes back to the other, less fuzzy one, but doesn't display "100%" this time.
Doing the same test on horizontal photos shows no change that I can see.
So, it seems to me that in the preview mode, Bridge has trouble displaying some photos (vertical ones?) in their actual resolution (100%)
and since there is a slight resizing going on, it brings fuzziness. This doesn't explain the very slight fuzziness seen on horizontal photos in software mode.
Now I'll mention, for those still awake, that I saw no fuzziness on the same vertical photos when I go to Review Mode with *hardware* rendering. Photos there are sharp. Now if I go to the review mode with software rendering enabled, vertical photos are not 100% sharp (akin to the small difference I mentioned earlier while in software mode), while they are sharper in preview.
To sum up, it seems that the only configuration that gives me consistently 100% sharp (=as they were meant to be after post-processing) photos no matter what their orientation, is when I stay in hardware rendering mode and use the Review Mode, instead of preview.
This all really smells like a bug.
For info, I am using Windows 7 and an ATI HD4850 card, and this only about processed JPEG files, not RAW files.
Perhaps the preview is really meant as a quick preview and not a tool to view final photos at 100% accuracy...
