Soft photos in slideshow

I have just made my first slideshow using Aperture 3 and although I exported using HD 1080p (whatever that means), the slides in the show are soft. Anyone with experience with creating DVDs using Aperture out there that can tell me how to export the photos so they are sharp. I need to deliver a DVD to a customer that will play it on their large plasma TV and I want the photos to be sharp.
Thanks,
Jeffrey

I AppZapped Aperture and an downloading a copy from Apple. I'm not sure this has any meaning but I'm running out of ideas. I tried F Shippey's idea of changing the large output size to a more appropriate size. I exported with 1024x576 and when it was complete all I had was a .mov file of just the music, there were no photos. I'm hoping this isn't some major library corruption but I will rebuild the database when launching the fresh copy of Aperture.
I'll get you pixel height and pixel width if the problem continues. If not I'll still let you know what I find out. Thanks for everyone's input, I hate getting stuck in these loops. The bride is expecting to play this slideshow on her TV for a party this Saturday in Washington, DC (I'm in California on the other side of the country).

ATV doesn't show all photos in slideshow

My ATV3 doesn't show all my photos in slideshow. It seems to repeat the same, say 50, over and over, even though I have about 400 in the folder on my windows7 PC.
Whats the fix?
Thanks
Andy

For the avoidance of doubt are you talking about the screensaver or the slideshows.
Slideshows should show all your photos, but screensavers will not. Screensavers need to save the photos to the Apple TVs flash storage, the Apple TV doesn't have a lot of this and so limits the number of photos it uses.

Lion compatible replacements for canoscan toolbox & arc soft photo studio

Canoscan toolbox 5.0.1.0 is a power pc app that will not run under lion. i cannot locate an upgrade that will run under lion.
i primarily use the app to create multi page pdf files (b/w and rarely color). this app runs flawlessly now under 10.6.7
upgrades available? better alternative app?
my scanner is a canon canoscan 4400F purchased in 1998.
i also use arc soft photo studio 4 for scanning slides and some color source material, also a power pc app.
so i need upgrade or replacement for it as well.
thanks - j

I had no trouble finding this:

Photos in slideshow "smear"

I'm using iPhoto '09 on 2 machines. On my G4 PPC (non-Intel) running OSX 10.5.8 photos in slideshow mode (not in albums, or library) show a "smear" at the edges. (This smear seems to fill in the black band at picture edges.) This crazy phenomenon does not appear on my iBook with the same iPhoto version and same OSX. Also I cannot go to turn music off unless I'm in Ken Burns mode!!!
Any ideas?

Dupont 24:
iPhoto has no limits to the number of photos a user can have in a slideshow nor in the number of photos you can at at one time. If the slideshow is already created, just select all the photos you want in the main library or in an album and drag onto the slideshow icon in the Source pane.
Do you Twango?

IPhoto09 v 8.1.2 Problem- Double clicking on thumbnail results in glimpse of photo and changes to ! with black background. No photo, no slideshow.

iPhoto09 v 8.1.2
Double clicking on thumbnail results in glimpse of photo before changing to ! with a black background.
No photo, no slideshow.
(Preferences set to magnify with double click)

That indicates that the iPhoto database has lost the connection to the high resolution photo - if you have not made any changes to the library (like cleaning uyp, deleting using thrid party software or form the all images list) then rebuilding will probably resolve it - Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto database

Export photos FROM slideshow?

Can I create an album FROM a slideshow?
I created Album A (tons of photos) and slideshow A. I duplicated slideshow A and deleted all the photos I didn't want to include, that became slideshow B. Now I need to export the photos from slideshow B into a format I can burn to disc - photos, NOT the slideshow itself. Can I do this without having to recreate the wheel, and have to pick out the photos I want one by one in a new album? Thanks!

There is an easy way to keyword those photos so you can group them for exporting to the desktop.
1 - in the slideshow double click on the first photo to bring up the edit window.
2 - type Command+K to bring up the keyword pane
3 - assign a unique keyword, "xxxx", created for this process to the photo.
4 - hit the forward arrow key on the keyboard.
5 - assign the keyword to the next photo. Repeat until all photos have been keyworded.
6 - create a smart album: keyword is "xxxx".
7 - export the photos from the smart album.
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.

IPad Keyboard dock: Cant jump picture/images in Photos or Slideshows

Hi everyone,
I bought the keyboard dock accessory for my ipad.
I mean the keyboard onto which you can dock your ipad straight away.
Some of the keys in the top row of the keyboard are, according to the manual, supposed to:
"Fast-forward, or go to the next song, movie, image or slide"
"Play or pause songs, movies or slideshows"
Yet, I cannot seem to do any of the following. Is it normal?:
- when in Photos, cant go from one image to the next by pressing any of these keys
- when in Photos during Slideshow, cant pause the slideshow
The only function of these set of keys which works in my case, is in Youtube. They allow to pause the video, and also skip from one tube video to the next in the list.
Any help needed!

Hi Tasilisa,
I connected my iPad to my Keyboard dock to see what it would do.
Just once I got the keys working during a slide show. In all other cases it just controlled the "iPod App" during the slide show.
When I discover the trick, I will let you know.

Problem with soft, blurry photos in Slideshow mode in AB 2.1.1.9

Hello,
I downloaded the 2.1.1 update to AB which was supposed to take care of the blurry photo display in slideshow mode.
It is better than before, but the photos are still not nearly as sharp as they should be. When I display them in any other applications, e.g. xnview they are crisp and clear.
Is it only me, or do you also have this problem?
Is that going to be fixed for good in CS4? Has anyone played with CS4 AB beta?
Regards,
Kefir

Since 11/07 I am using CS3 and Bridge 2.1.1.9 with the slideshow option very sufficiently until Sunday. Since yesterday I try to display a file of 280 photos with filetype CR2 with partial bad effect. The first 40 slides are presented normally, then the next 60 photos but the photos are still not nearly as sharp as they should be which can be easily controlled using immediately CS3 with display mode of about 100 %. Afterwards the next 2 photos are ok. The next part of 10 photos are displayed wrong as before and so on. A short time before the first appearance of this problem I got a message that bridge has a problem but I don't remember which one.
I am using an 19" EIZO display with digital connection and a Matrox card which is really not slow. I would be happy for a solution of this problem.

Adding photos to slideshow.

I'm trying to add photos to my slideshow. They currently reside in a folder under Folders and my slideshow is in the Collections category. No luck combining the two. I know I'm missing something totally obvious here.

If this is an existing slideshow colection you already created, select and drag the new image files from their source folder and drop them into the exisiting slideshow collection icon located in the Collections folder. The new images will be appear in the slideshow according to your 'Sort' order selection located above the filmstrip (i.e. Capture Time, User Order, etc.).
There used to be an issue with the 'Stroke Border' option in the Slideshow module causing soft (fuzzy) imaging at down-scaled resolutions (i.e. anything less than full-resolution). If you encounter this issue, try unchecking the Stroke Border option box. I just tried it with LR 3.4.1 on my Windows 7 system and a 1280x1024 PDF slideshow looks fine with the stroke border....maybe it's fixed in LR 3.4?

Hit a wall with adding photos to slideshow

I have approximately 110 photos added to my project and have hit a roadblock. I have about 30 more pictures to add and when I try to add another, it does something strange. It looks like the picture is there but when I play it, it is the picture before it and is "stretched out"? I have tried adding different pictures and even deleting the one before it and whatever picture I add, it does the same thing. I'm wondering if there is a limit to the amount of photos you can use in a slideshow? Or maybe the files are too large? Please help! This is my first try at a slideshow and I have to complete this project in two days!

Won't show entire photo during slideshow

I have many old scanned pics of various dimensions and when I create a slideshow, many of them are not shown in their entirety (think cropped) before the next slide comes. I have selected the "scale to fit" option but that doesn't quite get it done. Resizing them would distort the images, right? If I had small portrait pics in there and a large landscapes, wouldn't they come out looking like Kai's Super Goo projects?

I agree with the original post. I've got fairly regularly sized 4:3 photos, higher resolution than my screen, and I can't combine the Ken Burns effect and any other preference to ensure that I see the entire picture. Usually the top gets cut off - possibly because I have an iMac G5 whose aspect ratio is longer in relation to its height than my photos. The option to 'scale images to fit screen' doesn't seem to do anything either way - I would be happy with black bands at either side if I could get the whole pic but I can't. I can easily do this with GraphicConverter, a much simpler program. I am puzzled that people should be content to have slide shows where involuntary cropping takes place: and there's nothing in the Help file about it. Is it a Permissions problem?
TIA

Safari (and other browsers) won't open photos or slideshow

I recently re-published my web site last night with a new template. Everything works fine but now when I click on any photos in my gallery I get the following message in Safari:
"Safari can’t open “photos:%20Kates%20Summer_files/slideshow.html?slideIndex=1” because Mac OS X doesn’t recognize Internet addresses starting with “photos:”.
Same goes for clicking on slideshow. Also won't open with windows browsers - error message says something about finding an s: drive.
Any ideas?

Photo Gallery Slideshow

I’m currently looking into updating our company
website. It was originally built in FrontPage and is just a basic
frames site.
The guy who built it used a function in FrontPage called
Photo Gallery and used the slideshow option to create the following
images on the page:
http://www.bluchip.gg/bc403.htm
I would like to do a similar thing in Dreamweaver but I'm
going to need it to be really really easy so the other guy can do
it.
The FrontPage Photo Gallery was very simple in that all you
had to do was add the images you wanted and it would resize them
all to your spec and then create the slideshow.
Is there anything in Dreamweaver (CS3) that does the same or
maybe an add-on?
Any help would be gratefully received.

> Is there anything in Dreamweaver (CS3) that does the

Not really. Do you have Fireworks as well?
> or maybe an add-on?
I have used the ImageGalleryMagic extension from PVII - it's
mighty
simple....
