Un-group photos in Places Slideshow

Hello everyone,
I want to create a slideshow with the Places theme. However, it automatically groups pictures in the slideshow and for some pictures it just doesn't look good.
Does anybody know how to disable this or at least change the grouping of the pictures? Ideally, I would like to disable grouping completely.
Thanks,
Malte

If you can create your slide in any text editor, Pages, Word, whatever, all you need to to is type Command+P(to start a print job) , then click on the PDF button in the next window and select Save PDF to iPhoto in the menu that appears. 
Click to view full size
This creates a jpeg version of the document and imports it into iPhoto.  From there you can add it to the slideshow.
With Pages and other apps that let you use a color background you can make very nice title slides. Even Powerpoint.  Make a PP page as a slide and then print that one page as I outlined above.  User the landscape orientation with any application you use.

  • Places Slideshow will only play photos in date order

    I am having a problem with the Places theme in Slideshow in that it will only play the slides according to date. I imported photos from my camera and maunally tagged them in Places with various cities. I then created an album, manually moved the photos into the order I wanted (made sure that "manually" is the setting in the sort options in the View Photos menu) but when I play the slideshow, it will only play the slides by date. This only occurs in the Places theme as the others themes play the order correctly. It happens whether I create a slideshow or just press the slideshow button at the bottom of the screen in album mode. I even tried to batch create titles for the photos, appending them by number and them sorting them by title and still they will only play by date. I'm hoping this is something simple that I am overlooking as I really recently came back from an overseas vacation and would like to use the Places theme for a family slideshow.

    I ran into the same problem.  I created a new library just for creating the slideshow so I would not mess up the original pictures.  After arranging all of the pictures in a album in the order I wanted (manual sort) I batch changed the date time stamp of the pictures with a one minute interval between them.  This puts all of the pictures in chronological order and then places them in the order you like for the places slideshow.

    Is it possible to tag an individual with their name in a group photo when I place the cursor over the person's face?

    A work around...
    Create your text, place it underneath the face, then hide that text layer. Make sure you save to a format that supports layers like psd or tiff.

  • How do I align photos in a slideshow?

    Hello,
    I have been trying to find out how to align photos in a slideshow so that they don't "jump around" in the page, when they have different formats. Unfortunately I just read this discussion and learned that it isn't possible.
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/6071838
    But Iguiva then writes: "Now I only can do it manually, one by one..."
    If I can't controll exactly where the photo is shown, I don't see that I can use Muse.
    So here is my question: How do I do it manually? 
    Thanks,
    Tine

    Hi Tine,
    You can go to the Hero Image level in the Slideshow and then double click the Hero Image.
    That would give you access to the actual Image (you will see the Control Strip left corner reads "Image" rather than "Hero Image").
    Once at that level you can manipulate and place your image inside the Hero Image container as you see fit and it will keep the position you set.
    Hope that helps.
    Cheers,
    Vikas

  • Is element the program I would use to shrink photos to place in necklace pendants?

    Is element the program I would use to shrink photos to place in necklace pendants?

    iPhoto is not the app for this job. It has a handy slideshow feature, it's not a presentation software.
    Have a look at iMovie, PhotoToMovie or Final Cut Express.
    For points 1,2,3 all of them will do this
    For 4, only FCE has built-in sound editing. However, I'm not sure you need it. Both the other two will allow you to fade-in, fade-out and cross fade between soundtracks.
    For point 5: Rather more complicated that that, I'm afraid. All of the above will generate movies. Regardless of the input images it's the output from the applications that will decide this.
    6. In conjunction with QuickTime Pro, FCE and PhotoToMovie will output to HD.
    I think your best bet is to build your slideshow in FCE or PhotoToMovie, output to suit the projector size.
    You can burn the movie to a data dvd using the Finder.

  • Ordering Photos in iPhoto09 Slideshow

    I have iPhoto 09. Thank you to anyone replying and helping.
    I guess there is no way to order photos the way I want them once a slideshow is made.
    For example - if I choose the sliding panel theme - iPhoto automatically
    puts the photos where it wants in the various sliding panels. This often
    ' results in undesirable effects.
    I wish there was a sliding panel TEMPLATE where I could just put the photos
    where I want that would match up better.
    Does Fotomagico offer one templates where one can manually put the photos
    where one wants after one selects a theme format ? Or is there actually a way to have more control over how one wants photos placed in various theme?
    thank you very much

    Thank you Terrence for your reply, but you must be more adept at this than I am.
    When I click on a thumbnail all I get is the picture in full blown up mode.
    I still have no idea whether the picture will be placed in the slideshow theme.
    If I totally rely on iPhoto09 to distribute my pictures I get mis-croppings nor do I get the photo associations or pairings that I want.
    It is all hit and miss just moving the thumbnail photos around and then I have to play the whole slideshow to see the results of my thumbnail shifting.
    Which brings me to another problem. I actually got a photo album to run a slideshow pretty much how I want with lot of trial and error. BUT when I select an album and choose to have it converted to a slideshow - it jumbles and re-arranges the photos that I had set up the way I wanted them in the album.
    The only reason I convert an album to slideshow format is so that I can share it with iTunes.
    Suffice it to say - I wish iPhoto had templates or storyboards so that one can manually arrange the photos and place them in the panel or place you want them.
    I did send a query to Fotomagico and am awaiting a response.
    Thank you for your time and willingness to help.

  • Very much a beginner. How do I cut someone out of a group photo and move them to another part of the same photo?

    I have a group photo and I would like to move someone from one side of it to the other. I would like to know how to select that person, cut him out, and paste him in a different place on the picture. Is that possible? If so, how? Thank You!

  • How do I get my photos to cycle through ALL of the photos in my slideshow??

    I have it set for "shuffle," but it keeps picking up about 25 of the photos (which is about 1/8 of them) and that's about it.  (OSX 6.8.10) Thanks for any help!

    Hi, OT
    I'm using iPhoto version 9.2.3.  I'm not sure what you mean about the system version... My Mac O. SX is 6.8.10.
    The photos are in an album that I then made into a slideshow and then exported.  (This is what someone told to me do.) 
    They do all seem to play if not shuffling (if I do the slideshow on my laptop).  It's when I stream them through Apple TV that they don't all get picked up.  The same group seems to shuffle a lot and then a random one here and there that I rarely or never see will show up on occasion rather than equally, if that makes any sense.
    There are about 350 photos in the slideshow if that matters.
    (Sorry to be so late getting back to you.  I never got an email telling me you had responded.  I just went here and scrolled through until I found your response.  I've never used this forum before.  Thanks for your help.)

  • How do I arrange photos in ATV2 slideshow

    How do I arrange photos in ATV2 slideshow?

    Thanks, that is what I am doing and it works.  But when the folder contents are displayed for Slideshow, the photos are not in the order that I want.  I can't figure out what controls the order in Slideshow because it is different from the order in the original folder and doesn't correlate with any of the columns (eg, Name, Date Created, etc). It seems like there is a random element in the transmission from iTunes to Apple TV, but that doesn't make sense.

    I have prepared an 82 page book on iPhoto, ready to buy. There is a message over about half the photos saying "drag photo to place in background" as if it doesn't see the photo already there. I have spent over 20 hours getting to this point and can't bear to start over! Its a Mac 08X 10.6.8 and iPhoto 08  7.1.5. I have made other iBooks on this software and computer with no problems. Help please!

    Look for a page that has a similar layout:
    The one photo per page layout is the easiest to miss. Just click on a background color to remove the problem.

  • How can i link a text to a photo into a slideshow?

    hello, need some help please! i want to link a text to a specified photo into a slideshow, another word to another photo and so on...I've tried any slideshow, and composition with anchor points and it doesn't work. How can i realize that please?

    There's no support within Muse to cause click on a word within a flow of text to result in a slideshow turning to a specific image.
    A composition widget can be used to have clicking on or rolling over a trigger object cause a target container to appear.

    how to order the photos in a slideshow

    Just like for any other photo - select the photos in the album and use the command "File > Order Prints".
    Be careful, not to include any text slides. If it is difficult to select the photos in the slideshow, create a new album from the photos in the film strip (File > New Album).
