Viewing Photos without iPhoto?  Slideshow in Finder?

How can I view a large number of Photos without importin to iPhoto. Mail has a slideshow option for photo attachements, but I cannot find a similar function in the Finder.
I have received a CD with 1000+ photos. I'd like to preview them and copy the few I want to keep into a separate folder for importing into iPhoto. I have tired the thumbnail, but even making the thumbnails as large as Finder allows doen't give the detail I am looking for.
Thanks.

Weird...I don't seem to have a limit for the # of photos I can have open in preview: I once had 4300 open at once. I can even view all of those in a slideshow. But, I can't use the index sheet feature when all of those are open. I can only open about 600 photos and still be able to use the index sheet. That's probably a limitation due to my screen resolution, though. But, it is really slow (even with my new macbook) when I click on the index sheet because it has to resize all 600 photos at once. You are probably limited due to your computer (I'm not sure which of the three listed ones you use for this, but they are not as fast as my MacBook).

    When I export photos to IPhoto slideshow they crop more and more after each play. Is this common?

    No. In fact, I've never heard of it before.
    It might help if you could give us some details. What do you mean by "export photos to iPhoto Slideshow"? DO you mean you're adding photos to a slideshow in iPhoto? Or hat you created a slideshow in iPhoto and exported that to the Finder?

  • Viewing photos in iPhoto '11

    I don't know if its merely a setting that needs adjusting but when I view photos in iPhoto a large proportion do not fill the entire screen as they did in iPhoto .09.
    Can anybody help me fix this issue??

    VERY frustrating not being able to view the photos filling the screen. It's a way to get us to buy another program. I don't understand why Apple takes away features that are valuable and necessary.
    Why did Apple do this? I have to use Photoshop to see the photos in a large format - very inconvenient.
    There is enough information to answer the question. Why can't we see our photos like we did in version 9???
    There must be a competitor to iPhoto out there that will fulfill this need.

  • I saved photo into iPhoto slideshow, but now I can't find it.  I wanted to open it in iPhoto so I could edit the photo and make it lighter.  How can I find the photos I saved into iPhoto slideshow?

    I need advise about saving photos into iPhoto.  When I chose to save a photo, I chose it to be saved into iPhoto slideshow because that's the only choice I had that mentioned iPhoto.  Now I can't find the photo in iPhoto.  What did I do wrong?

    Post in the iPhoto forum where those experts are.

  • Unable to open and view photos in iphoto

    I am unable to view my photos in iphoto, or from anywhere else on my computer.  iphoto looks normal but is running very slow.  My thumbnails are all there.  I will click on a thumbnail, but the border turns from yellow to light blue, but the photo does not open for viewing, editing, or slideshow.  I have a MacBookPro, MAC OS X 10.6.8. iphoto version 8.1.2
    I have tried to open photos from my external hard drive without success.  Also, I can't attach a photo to an email.  When I attempt any of these things, this type of error message pops up:
    Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Can't view photos in iphoto but I still can in Preview

    Recently I changed some of the folder names of my photos in the iphoto library, but now when I want to view them in iphoto they are blank. I can still view them through Preview mode if I go through Finder, but that's a hassle. Also, the photos that I didn't change the folder name I can still view in iPhoto. I use iPhoto 5.
    What should I do in order to get things back to normal and be able to view my photos in iphoto??

    Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
    1 - this is the iPhoto '08 forum - your question would be better placed in the iPhoto 5 forum - http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=850 - some things work differently and here people will assume that you have iPhoto '08 and the answers may not work on iPhoto 5
    What should I do in order to get things back to normal and be able to view my photos in iphoto??
    2 - You should NEVER modify the iPhoto library (or any other database structure for that matter) - you should ONLY use iPhoto to change things. At this time your two choices are to put things back exactly like they were or recreate your library which will lose your edits, albums, etc

  • Can't view photos in iphoto

    I recently got an I phone 4s. So I updated to Lion on my macbook and the latest version of iphoto so I could use photostream. Initially iphoto worked fine. But now all of a sudden, when I open iphoto the events or individual photos simply show a black square with their titles but no photo. However, I can view my photos in finder when I try to upload a photo. Any thoughts as to how to fix this? Thanks

  • Want to view Photos from iPhoto on TV set

    I purchased Composite AV Cable from the Apple Store and was told that this was all I needed to view pictures from iPhoto on my TV. It didn't work because the TV didn't recognize the iPhone , so I returned the cable. Later I spoke to a friend and was told that I also needed a docking station in addition to the AV cable to view pictures on the TV.
    Before I drive back to the Apple store, does anyone know if this will work. I have an iPhone 3G and I want to view pictures on an older TV set.
    Thanks,

    As long as you have composite input on your TV (and know how to set your TV to use that input, of course), you can view your photos from the iPhone. No need for a dock. But you must +carefully read+ the description of the cable's function, which states, +"Connect an iPod or iPhone to your television with the Apple Composite AV Cable, gather up your friends, and watch videos or slideshows together on the big screen."+
    Slideshows, not photos. You must launch the Photos app, select an album (or the Library) then tap the Play button to start a slideshow. That's what is output to the TV, not just whatever picture (or other activity on the screen) is displayed - just slideshows and videos.

  • Apple TV reboots when viewing photos and selecting slideshow mode

    Just purchased the A-TV, so only experience is with the 2.3 OS release. I can view my synced photos without issue, but when I select slideshow mode, the screen goes black for a few minutes and then the box reboots. The diagnostics state there is not a hardware problem, but this is hopefully not a 'feature' of A-TV. Help!

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
    There could be a/some photos causing a problem, are you able to sync your photos in batches to try to eliminate this possibility.

  • Trouble viewing photos in iPhoto

    Hi,
    I recently bought a new MacBook Pro, and although I'm using iLife '09, I have had a similar problem using an older version of iPhoto on my old MacBook Pro.
    I have copied all my photos from my external hard drive to my new laptop. However, when I open iPhoto, although all my albums show up as expected, most of them are empty and don't display any of the photos, even though the photos are saved under the iPhoto directory. I have no problems viewing these photos on Finder. I keep trying to import them again, but still cannot see them on iPhoto. I am only able to view some of my most recent albums, and a few random older ones.
    I am completely lost. Does anybody have any advice or suggestions?
    Thanks!

    1 - iPhoto is not a photo viewer but a photo management system
    2 - you never make any changes to the iPhoto library including copying photo to it - it does not work and may corrupt the library
    3 - you can not import photos to iPhoto from the iPhoto library - you import photos form your camera or form disk files that are not in the iPhoto library
    Have you watched the iPhoto tutorials - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/ - and practiced with a small library? iPhoto is a very powerful photo management system but it does has a learning curve

  • Extract Photos from iPhoto Slideshow DVD

    I made a DVD via iPhoto for someone for the purpose of viewing pictures without actually having possession them, and I heard they found a way to get the pictures off.
    Is this true, or was the iPhoto slideshow made incorrectly?
    Thanks,
    DiFFeReN7

    Coincidentally I just saw this:
    If you play the slideshow DVD with VLC (Video LAN Client)
    <http://www.videolan.org> you can use the "Snapshot" command (Command-Option-S) in the "Video" menu to generate a file from each slide. The resolution will only be about 640 x 480

  • Deleting photos in iPhoto slideshow - need assistance asap!

    I'm making a slideshow in iPhoto.  I have tried to delete photos from the slideshow by first highlight the photo, then clicking on "Photo" in the menu and then clicking on "Delete from Album".  I deleted several photos and it appeared as if they had been taken out of the slideshow.  When I go back to view it the same photos that I thought I deleted again show up in the show.  Huh?  What am I doing wrong?  I've got to finish this slideshow this weekend!  Thanks in advance.

    Click on the thumbnail of the photo in the tray at the top of the slideshow window and use the Delete key.  Deleting them from the album they were imported from will not delete them from the slideshow.
