Slideshow shows photos in original unedited form

I'm using iPhoto '09 version 8.1. I scanned a number of slides and imported them, but unfortunately I scanned them upside down. No problem, I thought, I'll just rotate them within iPhoto . That works fine - they show up in the Event in the correct configuration. However, when I run them as a slideshow, they display upside down, the original configuration. Anyone else run into this, and if so, how did you fix it?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Start with this basic fix: 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 that fails: 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.

Slideshows show photos out of order

Hi there
I have an Apple TV and looking at my slideshows, my photos are displayed out of order. I renamed all the files so they are in the sequence I want, however that made no difference.
Seems as though the Apple TV is showing the files in order of the time the shots were taking which is not what I want given the re-naming process I went through.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Mike

AppleTV shows you your pictures in whatever order AppleTV decides, and you WILL like it. ha ha.
Seriously, I've tried and failed here. I have no clue how the thing decides what order to show pictures, I don't think it's necessarily in the order I shot them in.. it's more likely the order they get copied over by iTunes. So maybe uploading your photos 1 at a time will enforce a specific order.
Since there's no way for Apple to monetize your personal photos, I don't think they are really interested in developing that part of the software as well as they do for the movie rental and itunes store portions. I've had this device for almost 2 years now and pretty much only the parts that they use to sell me stuff have been improved in that time.
Personally I'm about ready to convert my iTV into a doorstop.

How can I create a slideshow that depicts only a version of a photo rather than the original? Since the original and new versions are saved together, the aperture slideshow often choices the original rather than the desired version to display.

There are two things we use the name "Slideshow" for in Aperture: a Slideshow Album, used for making Slideshows, and the Slideshow that is made. (Imho, it is a design mistake to not call the containers used to create Slideshows, Books, etc., "Albums".)
The Slideshow will use the Album Pick from any Stack. A good way to use Aperture is to promote the Image you want to regularly use (such as, for example, a Version with adjustments) to the top of the Stack. This makes it the Stack Pick, and will be the default Album Pick. If you haven't done that, you can still change the Album Pick for any Stack in a Slideshow Album. Expand your Stack(s), select the Image in each Stack that you want to be the Album Pick (and thus shown in the Slideshow), and "Stacks➞Set Album Pick". (Note the keyboard shortcut; there is also a Toolbar icon for this.) The change is immediate. The Slideshow will always show the Album Pick (or, if there is not one, the Stack Pick) for every Stack in your Slideshow Album.

IPhoto not showing photos in Modified folder

I have an issue uploading photos into facebook. I use iPhoto to manage all of my photos on my iMac, and I created different albums to organize photos. When I try to upload some photos into my facebook, only the photos in Original folders show up in the albums, and the ones in Modified folders are missing. When I open album directly in iPhoto, all the photos are there. This happens both in Safari and Chrome. Is there a way to fix this so that I can see all of my photos when I access iPhoto albums from the browser?

iPhoto 09?
Option 1
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. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

IPhoto is not showing photos stored in albums in the last week, and when I add recent photos, they don't show, or show as black.

iPhoto is not showing photos stored in albums in the last week, and when I add recent photos, they don't show, or show as black. What's happening ? I show an incompatible upgrade available for OSX Maveriks, which I have not yet installed.

What version of iPhoto are you using? Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Please tell me you can use pan/zoom tool for photo slideshow with photos not cropped to screen?

I'm new to Mac and Premiere Elements (former PC/Sony Vegas Movie user), and am trying to do a Ken Burns type photo slideshow wherein my photos are left in their normal cropped state. Right now it seems all photos get cropped to fill the screen size (i.e. 16:9). I saw where you could uncheck the scale photo size to media (or something to that effect) under the general setting in preferences, but using the pan/zool tool still shows photos cropped to fill screen. I realize conflicting aspect ratio will result in black bars top/bottom or left/right of frame, and that's ok/what I want. I'm hoping this is doable? Thanks, Jim

jimdrought
The primary question that I have is what is the end product...DVD-VIDEO Standard on DVD disc, DVD-VIDEO Widescreen on DVD disc or other?
Let us assume for now DVD-VIDEO Widescreen on DVD disc. The next question that falls into line is the one relating to what you describe as an assortment of photos going into this project...what are the pixel dimensions (what range of...) and aspect ratio. For aspect ratio, are we talking 4:3 or 16:9. How many of these photos are landscape oriented or how many portrait oriented.
In generalities at this point, I would ask you to look at:
a. bringing your photos appropriately sized into a Premiere Elements project with an appropriate project preset.
b. leaving Edit Menu/Preferences/General with its Default Scale to Frame Size with a check mark.
c. in the workspace, scaling the photos to just fill the space in the Edit Mode Monitor
d. then one by one pan and zoom a photo with the Pan and Zoom Tool.
If you use this Tool, you should get good results. One consideration is that the process results in the Timeline photo having a much larger duration AFTER than BEFORE. If you see any pros in using this tool for your purposes, then you might want to explore the technique that I described for applying a pan and zoom effect from this Tool to more than one photo at a time.
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/05/pe11-pan-zoom-tool-more-than-one-photo.html
You also might want to explore fxEffects/Presets for horizontal and vertical pans or zoom. The catch in the presets is that you can apply a pan OR zoom, not a pan AND zoom to each photo.
Keyframing of Scale (for Zoom) and Position (for Pan) should be explored under Applied Effects/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel expanded/Scale and Position properties.
With more details from you, we could go step by step in any of the above.
We will be watching for your progress.
Thanks.

"An error occurred" When trying to show photos...

Hi, I really hope someone can help me....
Whenever I try to show photos on Front Row, the message comes up "an error occurred" Press play/pause to exit front row.
I think I must have some corruption in my iPhoto library so I have tried the following:
Re-building the library, thumbnails etc.
Deleting the last 10 events (since the problem occurred)
Emptying trash
Deleting all albums and slideshows
All to no avail.
I have tried creating a new user account and opening the library in that and using Front row to confirm it wasn't user account settings, same problem again. But if I create a new library with just a few photos in it, it works fine in Front Row on both user accounts.
This has all started happening since I moved from a mac mini to a 27" iMac, the photo library is on an external drive and worked fine like that with the mini but not the iMac. I have tried copying it onto the iMac hard drive in case it was the external drive causing the problem but that doesn't seem to have made any difference. I did change to snow leopard around the same time, would this have anything to do with it maybe?
I have over 16000 photos in my library and have spent hours tagging them, geo-tagging, updating faces etc so I really don't want to have to rebuild the library from scratch manually.
Any clues?
Thanks

Sean, thanks for the Return key tip. I knew about that at one point, but lately I was trying to use Enter (the one on the numeric keypad, at the very lower right corner of the keyboard, which is really easy to hit with my thumb even when my hand is on the mouse! And Enter doesn't invoke the crop, so I forgot that Return did). That is a better way.
I don't see the RE problem on my MacBook, only on my desktop computer, and that one is also experiencing other flakiness (
metamatt, "missing text / thumbnails / many Lightroom UI elements disappeared" #, 18 Aug 2007 3:08 pm) so I think I'm going to try a complete reinstall there.

Albums not showing photos

I am just learning about IPhoto 5. I made albums and all was great for days with slide shows and all. Then I added some new photo's to albums, now my albums will not show photo's. I can only see my photo's in IPhoto folders that are of various numbers, 01, 02, 04, 10 etc... what are these numbers and why did my photos disapear from my albums?

Hi cazam,
I am not sure if you are talking about seeing the albums within iPhoto or if you are talking about seeing the album folder in the Finder. The album folder in the Finder that was present with iPhoto 4 is no longer used by iPhoto 5. This is why you don't see it in the Finder.
This is a view of how the iPhoto 5 Library looks in the Finder.
It is organized by Year folders. Inside the Year folders are Month folders. Inside the Month folders are the days of the Month. Inside the day folders are the photos you took on that day. If you imported video clips and RAW files on that day they will be in an Originals folder. If you have edited any photo imported on that day, the original will be in that folder also.

I brought in a slideshow but photos didn't include comments. How can I get my comments imported along with the pictures?

I brought in a slideshow but photos didn't include comments. How do I get my comments?

First make sure you've added the comments you want to show in the Add a Description field in iPhoto or in the Title field. If you put them in the Title field and you envoke the feature in iDVD you won't have to delete the title from each slide to give you just the desciption. Or batch remove the Titles from all the photos before you add them to the iDVD project. You can allways get them back with the Photos ➙ Batfch Change menu option later on.
Click on the cog wheel menu button at the bottom and select Show titles and comments checkbox.
Happy Holidays

Show photo full screen without border?

When I try to show a photograph "full screen" (ctrl-cmd-F), there is a border around the photo which wastes screen space and makes the photo harder to see than a true full screen display would. Is there a way to show photos over the whole screen without Photos adding anything (like borders or controls)? I know you can use the slider to make a single image fit the screen, but of course, that is unreasonable for many photos, especially if you are showing photographs to other people. Thanks.

I found the (sort of) answer after some playing a bit more. It seems that Photos does not enlarge a photo to fill the screen if the photo's resolution is less than the resolution of the screen (or maybe some multiple of the resolutions is used). So if you have a large photograph and show it in full screen, it will indeed take the full screen. But if you have say a 1200x800 photo on a MacBook Retina 15 inch, full screen will show the photo with a border around it.
I've never before seen a photo viewer that does not have an option to expand small photos to fill the screen, but apparently I have now. I assume this omission is in keeping with Apple's philosophy that function is secondary to simplicity (where simplicity is defined solely as keeping options to a minimum). I'd love to be wrong about this so if anyone knows of an option to expand all photos to fill the screen regardless of the resolution of the original image, I'd still like to know. Thanks again

Change Slideshow Thumbnail Photo States Via Crop Tool?

In a slideshow widget, I've noticed the only way I can change one of the thumbnail image's "states" to a different image (like a sepia version of the same image) is to double click on the thumbnail "image frame" and then slide the current image out of frame (using the crop tool also allows the same thing) and then I am left with a blank "image frame." Into that blank image frame, I can then FILL it with another image (the sepia version) and apply all different "states" (rollover, etc) to that image frame WHILE maintaining the original full size image that the thumbnail (target) is originally linked too.
So basically I then have a hidden cropped thumbnail image frame and my true (sepia version) image frame. Everything seems to preview properly, but what if any effect does all this "hidden" code info have? Anything. If I have 200 or so thumbnail images attached to a slideshow and each would have one of these "hidden" cropped boxes.
Thoughts anyone?

I have not a link yet, i'm preparing the graphic layout at the time. I bypassed the problem importing in muse the right photos size without use crop. Maybe i should see better edit photo functions tutorials. I'm new with Muse.

Animated iPhoto Slideshow: Cannot recreate my original slideshows

In early 2011, I created 7 different animated iPhoto Slideshows to use as part of my acting and modeling marketing program. The iPhoto Slideshow software was amazing in how it took still photography and, in a seemingly simple and easy way, transformed it into exciting, highly creative, professional looking video presentations with synchronized music. My slideshows were many times better than the original still photography.
Recently, I needed to update/replace one photo in some of these slideshows. To my dismay, I discovered that it was impossible to recreate four of these iPhoto Slideshows. Every time I attempted to do so, the resulting slideshows were nothing like my original slideshows. Actually, the overall quality of these 4 slideshows has been drastically downgraded to the point of being unusable--for one or more of the following reasons: the most interesting, unusual setup of 4 photos [up left: square; up rt: oblong; low left: oblong; low rt: square] in Sliding Panels has been eliminated; this results in a lot of repetition of the same setups within this slideshow; in another slideshow, the current software produces a totally different slideshow that is absolutely rigid throughout and will make no changes/modifications, regardless of the photo order or photo format; in one slideshow, the photo alignment is completely off; and the music is not always in sync with the action.
Over the past several months, I have discussed these problems with many different people at Apple Support. Everyone that I have spoken with assumed the problem was caused by a software update to iPhoto Slideshow sometime since early last year. On April 6th, after reviewing this problem with Apple Engineering, an Apple Support Advisor briefed me on what Engineering had to say. The response was basically this: When the iPhoto Slideshow was created, Apple purposely included an algorithm that continually changes the slideshows. Therefore, if I create a slideshow today, it may be impossible to ever recreate that same slideshow again because of this algorithm.
I must admit that I am more than a little suspicious about Apple’s response. It seems just too good to be true; especially due to the fact the stated cause is not easily provable or disprovable. And Apple Support certainly did not attempt to validate or offer any reasons to support why I should accept this as truthful. Actually, until now, everyone at Apple that I had spoken with assumed the problem was caused by an update to the iPhoto Slideshow software since early last year. Moreover, 3 of the original slideshows are currenty easily re-creatable. Finally, this stated cause is so consistent with my experience of how Apple handles all product and software problems: Nothing is wrong with our product or software. There must be something wrong with your system or how you are using it.
My bet is that Apple significantly changed the slideshow software when they introduced the new iPad in late 2011 to accomodate the unique format of iPad. Hence, the iPhoto Slideshow software would work on iMac, iPhone and iPad.
MY QUESTION IS SIMPLY THIS: HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AS I HAVE WITH THE ANIMATED iPHOTO SLIDESHOWS?

Is this the panel you're referring to in the Sliding Panels theme?
If so then it's still availabe in the iPhoto 11 version. Try a different arrangement of photos. If that doesn't work try this: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
     User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
     User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

Show Photo Settings stays grey

I'm trying to edit photos in my movie. I'm trying to use "Show Photo Settings". However it remains grey for some photos while it works for others????? I do not have any transitions or text in these photos, I can't figure out why I can't get to their photo settings? Can anyone help?
Mac OS X (10.4.9)

If the photo clip has been edited in any way — you've added a special effect, for example — iMovie no longer considers it a photo clip.
With the clip selected in the Timeline, choose Advanced > Revert Clip to Original. It may be necessary to do that that more than once to revert the clip all the way back to the original. Now when you select the clip iMovie should enable the Photo Settings button.

"Show Photo Settings", my clip is black

De Javous all over agan. I am using HD 6.03, and have been for quite a while. Back a couple of years ago there was a software flaw the was fixed, now it has come back to haunt me.
When i have a clip I want to modify, I go into "Show Photo Settings", my clip is black, why is this happining again?
paul

Hello, Paul,
Yes, my workflow is similar to yours. I think the main thing is to do the photos first and the music last, as you are doing.
I put in my videos first, cropping out the parts I know I won't need. Then I put in the photos. I know that I will eventually have to crop the video clips again to get what I want with the photos, but initially I just put the photos in the correct order. Then I 'fix' the photos to be the right size, duration, etc.
Next I adjust/crop the video clips and move the photos to their more correct place. If I want the audio to play from the video clip, but over a photo instead of the audio, I make that correction. I do that by either extracting the audio and pasting over the photo, or using WireTap to record the audio from the video clip and just laying the audio clip under the photo and deleting the video clip. I lock all this type of audio clip to its corresponding photo.
Then I evaluate where I want/need Ken Burns effects on my photos and add that. Sometimes I use Photo-to-Movie for a panning of a large group where I want to title the people.
Next I do titles and transitions.
Last I add music.
Sometimes if the movie has a lot of short audio clips or many video clips and/or photos, I find that the playback becomes slow or stilted or the audio continues and the video lags.
If I have done all the editing I need to on the clips, I then export the movie as Full-Quality QuickTime. This of course results in a movie that is one long single clip, but it plays audio and video correctly. It can still be edited, but it is a bit tricky to do so, since the audio and video tracks are now one.
If my movie is long, I usually add chapter markers to the original iMovie, just to know where they should be.
I then put the new QuickTime movie into a new iMovie project and use that as the movie I burn to DVD. I add music to it, add my chapter markers and then I am ready to use it in my iDVD project. Having placed chapter markers in the original iMovie makes it much easier to create those markers in the QT iMovie. You can open both iMovies at the same time and use the time codes for each marker.
Most of my movies are of family videos and photos for the year. Each one is nearly two hours. Some years require several DVDs, depending on the activities for that time; some years everything fits onto one DVD. I even went back to the earliest family photos we had.....from the 1890s...and have made DVDs of each side of the family as a history for our kids and grandkids.
Hope this is helpful!
PS. Matti's comment about deleting the trash is absolutely correct....I forgot to add that in my first reply

HT201077 My shared photo stream originally was working.

My shared photo stream originally was working. But then the person I was sharing with sent me a shared photo stream. I never got it and now the stream I sent to her no longer updates with photos I've added to it. Has anyone experienced this and figured out a fix?

I should have mentioned that they were all showing ok last night, but this morning when I checked only 9 out of 60 are showing. I even deleted just one or 2 from my iPhone at first, made sure they were still showing in the stream, before deleting the rest. So can't understand now where the missing ones have gone?
