Slideshow photos are rotated 90 degrees in idvd...

Although my photos appear in the proper landscape or portrait view in iphoto, when I drag the photos into the idvd slideshow screen some of the photos are turned 90 degrees so that some the portraits become landscapes. There does not seem to be any way to rotate the photos once they are in the slideshow, only to change their position. Anyone know any tricks??

when I drag the photos into the idvd slideshow screen some of the photos are turned 90 degrees so that some the portraits become landscapes.
This is a problem, it does not happen when I drag or import a portrait photo from iPhoto.
I'd start with rebuilding my iPhoto library per Apple's directions:
It's a good idea to make a backup copy of your iPhoto Library folder (located in your Pictures folder) before rebuilding it.
To rebuild the library:
If iPhoto is open, quit it.
Hold down the Command and Options keys, and open iPhoto
iPhoto opens and rebuilds your library.

Some photos are rotated within the wrong orientation

Hello fellow mac users, I am having a strange issue and would like your help.
Following a corruption of my iPhoto database, I used a third party software to repair the database. I also did additional things like repair thumbnails, etc... I managed to repair the library but I am now having a strange issue.
Portrait photos are rotated within the portrait frame. To repair, I need to swap the resolution in Photoshop:
1. What I see in iPhoto.
2. Rotated photo in iPhoto. This is obsviously distorted.
3. Original photo after inverting resolution in photoshop...
Is there a conveninent way to perform a batch repair without having to open every photo one by one in photoshop??? I hame probably more than 500 photos like that!!!
Thanks in advance!

The picture now looks fine in iPhoto (thumbnail is still wrong)
Then try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
2 - Run Option #2, Rebuild Thumbails. It might take more than one try.

Photos are rotated correctly on PC but 90 degs out on iPad????

Photos are rotated correctly on PC but 90 degs out on iPad????

Found the issue. BAD "EXIF" file data. Spent a few hours searching for EXIF editor to modify.
Ended up using "PICTOMIO" to edit camera orientation data. Worked OK.

Portrait oriented photos are rotated in Instant Movies

When I create an Instant Movie in Premiere Elements 11 for Mac, any stills that are included that are shot in portrait orientation get rotated 90 degrees to the left and are diplayed on their sides during the movie. They display correctly in the organizer and when viewed in Preview, but the act of putting them in an Instant Movie flips them on their sides. I've looked through all the settings and preferences that I can find to look for a way to prevent this from happening, but I haven't found it. I can go into the timeline and then flip the photos back one at a time, but what a pain.

What do your computer resources look like? I know you are running Premiere Elements 11 Mac, but how much installed and available RAM and free hard drive space?
and
What orientation are these images when viewed at their hard drive save location?
I am strictly an Elements Windows user, but basically Premiere Elements 11 Windows and Mac operate the same. There are differences.
For this test, I used Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit, dual core, 3.2 GHz, 8 GB installed RAM, about 6 GB RAM available, and about 1 TB free hard drive space.
I took 17 photos (sized 3000 x 4000 - 4000 x 3000 pixels) into a 1080i30 project and applied the Instant Movie Celebration. Ten of the 17 were portrait oriented 3000 pixels width and 4000 pixels height and 7 of the 17 were landscape oriented 4000 pixels width and 3000 pixels height. The photo orientation was not changed in the resulting Instant Movie. So, under those conditions I cannot invoke a basic flaw in Premiere Elements 11 Windows Instant Movie even when using pixels dimensions beyond the limits of the project settings.
Where does that leave us....to rule in or out....
1. Pixel Dimensions which are oversized for the project can cause problems even in Premiere Elements 11 depending on computer resources. As an experiment, could you resize one or twenty and see if that makes a difference in the portrait rotation even though I have no evidence for that being a factor in my Windows model today.
2. The Instant Movie and Premiere Elements media trace back to what is viewed at the hard drive save location for the photos. What does that look like?
3. I have no evidence that the 4:3 photos in a 16:9 project are at issue; neither 1 to 17 oversized for the project photos being the issue if all that is on that Timeline is combo of 3000 x 4000 and 4000 x 3000 photos. How did you make sure evaluation of the issue?
a. Did you take 20 of those 3000 x 4000 photos into a new project and apply the same Instant Movie to them and ended up with them all rotated? Or did you just remove 1 to 20 of them from the existing Timeline, leaving the landscape oriented ones and those .mov videos as is? Did you find any difference in this matter if your Timeline was without the video included?
Just some thoughts for now as I think about this some more.
Looking forward to your follow up.

Add On...What computer resources did you have for your Premiere Elements 7 where you seem to be saying that you used 4000 x 3000 - 3000 x 4000 photos under similar circumstances as now and had no problems. Assumed a Windows experience.
Add On...I did not see Nealeh post until after I had posted mine.

Some Downloaded Photos are Rotated in Aperture

When I download my photos into Aperture and when I shoot tethered, some photos will be oriented the correct way and some will be roatated. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to this. I can take a series of shots the exact same way and some will download right and some will download rotated. I can't seem to find an answer for this annoying problem. Anyone have a cure for this? Thanks.

If the picture includeds orientation data (landscape/portrait orientation) Aperture automatically rotates the image to the correct orientation.
Some cameras don't have an orientation sensor built into them so they don't know if they are portrait or landscape.
However, if your use an image stabilised lens on such a camera, the image stabiliser can then provide the orientation data.
I suspect your camera doesn't have such a sensor, and the images where Aperture is correctly rotating were taken with a stabilised lens, while the ones where it doesn't were taken with a non-stabilised lens.

Why are some of my photos are rotated from the thumbnail in iPhoto 11

i am having some of my thumbnails in iphoto appear in the proper rotation. but whem i enter the full master image, it is rotated 90 degrees and always stays that way. how am i able to fix this?

i go into iphoto. i select the event. choose one of the photos that this is happening on for rotations or edits, and then see the main image in the veiw screen. that is the main image that i see and keep having some problems between the thumbnail and the main image.

Why are photos are rotated when I post them on a forum?

These pictures have been rotated in my photo Library to the best orientation (vertical) but when I upload them to a forum, they come out horizontal, requiring everyone to crane their necks to view them. The forum itself does not offer any photo editing, so I can't re-rotate them. I am uploading directly from my computer; is this my error? Will they be correctly oriented if I go through photobucket or another hosting site?

quit going directly into your library to get them - export them and then upload - or click here for a longer discussion on how to safely and correctly access your iPhoto photos - be sure to follow the links.

RE: Adding original slideshow photos to DVD-ROM option.

I want to be able to burn/save a slideshow .TS file or burn a slideshow DVD using iDVD and I want to be able to add original slideshow photos to the DVD-ROM using iDVD's "always add original slideshow photos to DVD-ROM". I also want to use Ken Burns pan/zoom effects which iDVD doesn't have as an option. I have been able to makeup my slideshow in iPhoto with Ken Burn effects and then send it to iDVD and retain the Ken Burn effects. However, when I do that, then I lose the ability of using iDVD's "always add original slideshow photos to DVD-ROM" option. Is there anyway to do/have both options retained in iDVD, Ken Burns effects and always add original slideshow photos to DVD-ROM using iDVD? If not, does any know if it is possible to do this using DVD Studio Pro?
THANKS!
G5 Power Mac Dual Mac OS X (10.4.3) 2.5GB Ram

then I lose the ability of using iDVD's "always
add original slideshow photos to DVD-ROM"
option.
Yes but all you lose is the "automatic/always" part,
you can add them yourself to the DVD ROM portion.
Under the "Advanced" menu in iDVD, you will see "Edit
DVD ROM Contents." Then create a new folder in the
window that opens, and you can drag photos from
albums (but not slideshows) into the DVD ROM
portion.

Open your iPhoto Library, go to that particular album and verify that you can view the full sized version of each image by double clicking on them. Report back with the results.

Why does my photo slideshow quality deteriorate when exported to iDVD?

I have a client whose photos look great in iPhoto & iMovie, but look all pixelated when exported to iDVD. I've tried making a slideshow directly with iDVD, but the photos still look worse than they did in the iPhoto slideshow.
The size of the photos is pretty large (as big as 5233 x 3546), which I'm guessing might be part of the problem, so I tried exporting them from iPhoto with a limitation of 720 x 540, but they still look bad. I expect a decrease in quality once I burn the DVD, but these look bad even in the DVD preview.
Any ideas?

All DVD slideshows are defaulted to 640 x 480 pixels. That's the standard. As long as the photos are in the 4:3 dimension ratio you can leave them at their fullest size. You can try using the Pro Quailty encoding to get better quality images. IMO the best image quality is obtained by creating the slideshow in iDVD from still photos. You don't get the Ken Burns effect, but in my opinion it's a bit over used too many time.
If you are creating your slideshow in iMovie then try the following.
1 - when your slideshow is how you want it quit iMovie.
2 - open iDVD, create a slideshow and open the slideshow edit mode.
3 - drag the iMovie project file into the slideshow pane on the left. (NOTE: this lets iDVD scale the movie file to the TV safe area when played on CRT TV sets.)
This also lets iDVD do the encoding for the iMovie assets and avoids two compressions, one by iMovie when you export to iDVD and the iDVD encoding.
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) 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. 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.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Although all photos in my libraries are rotated to the correct orientation, random pictures still show up in the wrong position when viewed on Apple TV. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your comments
Several of our iPhone users in the UK reported the problem this morning, and as the Apple fan in the office I've got the job of resolving the issue
The original Excel was an old .xls file, but I have saved it as a .xlsx and the problem still appears
I haven't spoken with our developer yet, but I assume he has created the Excel file using some programming tools rather that directly using Excel
In the meantime I have created a simply spreadsheet with 8 cells contain values
In the first 4 cells, I have formatted them using Currency, and have used the currencies USD, DEM, GBP and CHF
In the remaining cells I have formatted them using the Accounting option, using the same currencies
When I review the spreadsheet on the iPhone (or iPad), the first 4 remain the same yet the last four all show the £ symbol
I have now changed the Region Format of the iPhone to United States, and when viewing on the iPhone the bottom 4 values are now all showing the $ sign!
If I had created the spreadsheet I would have put the Currency code in a seperate cell and purely used a numeric format for the number, and there would be no issue. That might be the only solution
Yes, the Director has the full MS Excel app on his Windows 8 device, but I can't expect all of our clients to go and do the same, in business many of them will have the iPhone
We may have to change the way we produce the report because of Apple's failings here, and it's not the first time that we have had to change something because Apple devices can't display them properly
In business, submitting a potential job contract only for the recipient to get the wrong idea of the costs is a major concern

Photos are dark and cannot be used in slideshow mode. Also cannot move photos in a sequence. Also photos will not move from grid to add to another collection.

Lightroom 4, photos are dark when in slideshow mode. Therefore, cannot create a slideshow. Cannot move photos from grid to add to another collection. Also cannot change sequence of photos. Have searched multiple times for troubleshooting help online with no resolution available.

Just to clarify my problem with the "dark photos"....when in slideshow mode, photos are dark and state "no photo selected" I've created multiple slideshows and this was never an issue. Just downloaded updates as well for Lightroom 4 and this didn't seem to help either.

In Preview, when I add text annotations to my PDF (lecture note slides), they look fine until I close it and reopen it, and then they are rotated 90 degrees. How do I fix this and keep it from happening again?

I have the same problem with lectures slides.
Furthermore, sometimes the text box, when doube-clicking, turns the text into a one-liner. Causing the text box to sometimes get 3. times wider than the pdf itself.

By pressing [cmd + I] the Inspector opens up and clicking on the rightmost tab 'Annotations' you should be able find those Annotations again. I do this regularly to find the empty annotations I accidentally create while clicking through slides.

I burned my first iDVD andpicture quality is not good. Originals are excellent. My photos are shot in raw or jpeg, both are not sharp when I view my DVD. I viewed it on my 1080 dpi tv and my new apple computer.

There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

Please Help...My photos are cut off in my slideshow

Hello,
I am making a slideshow using IMovie. I am using photos from IPhoto. When I drag them to the strip and then play my show, many of the photos are cut off. You can't see the whole photo. Example, my daughter is on a balance beam and you can only see her legs and the beam. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated. Do I need to adjust all of my photo sizes? (Hope not, this slideshow has hundreds of pictures) Do I need to adjust something with the slideshow?
Thank you in advance for you help.

Is there a way to do that for all the pictures at once?
You can either set the Project Preference to automatically use the "Fit" option when new images are added to a project. However, to change the rest of the images already added, you would have to select the image you already corrected, press Command-C to copy the information to temporary memory, select all other images, and then use the "Paste Adjustments > Crop" Edit menu setting to copy the current "Crop" setting to all selected images at once.
BTW-what is Kens Burns?
It adds a "motion" effect to still images. I.e., you can select a start and stop scaled/position view and the application will interpolate "in between frames" to create the motion effect.
