What Resolution To Crop For Photo Display On Widescreen TV?  Please Help

Hello,
I'm having great difficulty trying to crop my photos for display on a widescreen TV.
The resolution of the TV is 1920x1080, and when I crop to those dimensions I get the black letterbox bars on top and bottom of the screen when I display my photos on the TV.
What specific XXXX x XXXX numbers should I use when I crop in order to display my photos from edge to edge on the TV without the black letterbox bars?
Also, could you please specify the proper ratio number to enter into Lightroom for the same purpose?  Apparently Lightroom requires a ratio number as opposed to pixel numbers in the dialog box.   When I enter 16 : 9, the resulting crops display the black letterbox bars when viewed on the TV.
I've searched the net and read many discussions about pixel aspect ratios and dimensions and square pixels, etc., and I am totally confused because I should be able to achieve my goal with a 16:9 ratio, but no matter what I do I end up with the letterbox bars when displaying my photos on the widescreen TV.
Thanks very much in advance!

You'll need to describe just how you're getting those images onto the TV I think, for people to be able to answer this reasonably.
Is the TV plugged-in to the computer's video card?  Or are you making a video that you're displaying off a DVD or similar?

  • How to set password for photos from home screen? Please help.

    Hi,
    Can anyone pls help to set password for my Iphone 4s.
    My friends/family often use my phone for gaming purpose. I don't want them to see my photos/gallery/videos.
    How can I protect my personal things from others?
    Thnx.
    Rgds.

    There is no way to set a password for photos. You could upload all of your photos to something like DropBox, then sign out of the app. Or, you could only let people you trust to respect your privacy touch your phone.

  • Batch Crop & Straighten Photos...? Please, Help.

    I have several hundred photos that have been scanned and they all need to be cropped and straightened. I have been unsuccessful in my attempts at being able to create and run a action or script to batch this automated feature in Photoshop CS4. Does anyone know how to accomplish this? Thanks.

    Here is a web site that looks like it will show you how to do it.  If not look at similar sites.

    Whats the best software for photo editing and creating product catalogues that can be saved as PDF's

    You are asking two different questiions:
    1. What's a good photo editor? Answer to that here is probably obvious.
    2. What's a good desktop publishing/page layout program for creating PDF files for production? Answer, not PSE. It's a photo editor, not a page layout program.

    Try this...
    You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the Phone On...

  • I installed lightroom 5 with a 30 day trial and it finished. Yesterday I installed cc and when I open LR5 I need a serial number. What do I do/how do I get one? Please help Tank you

    Please help, Thank you.

    Your photos remain in place, the catalog you have been using will remain. After you install Lightroom from the CC, all you have to do is open your existing catalog and continue right where you left off.

    Thanks for that information!
    I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
    In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
    When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
    Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

    The way I did it was I got the free app sync:stream from the App Store and then added my ipod to my ps3's Bluetooth devices. Then went to audio settings and set output and input to 'Skaggs iPod' you then open the app and it will be listed under music as a media service. You then go to all tracks and click copy (press triangle) it will then begin to copy all of your songs onto your ps3 via Bluetooth. I haven't tried but I assume the same can be done with photos. I hope this was helpful reply if you have any questions :) good luck

    Did you upgrade to a new MacOS X version? Then you need to update iPhoto as well.
    Only iPhoto 9.6 is compatible with MacOS X 10.10 Yosemite.  Update from the Mac App Store.
    Backup your iPhoto library, if you do not have a current backup.
    Launch the App Store, click the "Store" menu, and sign in with your current AppleID.
    Check the "Updates" tab of the App Store for an iPhoto update and run the update.
    When you laugh iPhoto after the update, it will warn you, that the library needs upgrading, That may take a while.
    Just in case that you see a warning, that the update is not possible because of an error message: "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
    Uninstall iPhoto by deleting it from the Applications folder, but do not empty the Trash, so you can put iPhoto back, if need be.
    Launch the App Store, click the "Store" menu, and sign in with your current AppleID.
    Open the main page "Featured" of the App Store and search for iPhoto.
    If iPhoto is listed as "Free", click the "Free" button to buy it with your current AppleID.
    If it is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support to sort out the AppleID. Use this link: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/

    Hi I have just got back from the apple store and the guy at the Genius bar looked at it and said it was a manufacturing fault, and because it has been like it since new, and seemed to be getting worse he replaced the computer  and I have a new warranty from today.
    We got the feeling as soon as he looked at it that he has seen this before, I did say to him I was concerned it would be a replacement screen and I was not really happy about that as it was so new, and he said that was the normal procedure, but as the fault was already there at new and it was getting worse they would replace. I could not have asked for a better service.
    Not unpacked this one yet but am hoping all is good, its a great little machine.
    Thank you for your responses, and I hope this might help someone else.  One thing it did not seem to be missing pixels but something to do with the screen production?

    On belhalf of my fellow volunteers, the answer is, "We'll try our best." 
    My advice is to try not to treat this like it is a paid service provided by compensated professionals.  Ask nicely and one of the nice folks here might take some time out of their weekend to offer advice.

    Your code is absolutely unreadable - even if someone was willing to
    help, it's simply impossible. I do give you a few tips, though: If you
    understand your code (i.e. if it really is YOUR code), you should be
    able to realize that your minimum and maximum never get set (thus they
    are both 0) and your exam 3 is set with the wrong value. SEE where
    those should get set and figure out why they're not. Chances are you
    are doing something to them that makes one 'if' fail or you just
    erroneously assign a wrong variable!

    This has nothing to do with iPhoto. When I have this type of problem I call tech support for my email service. They probably are the only source of the correct settings
