Why does slide show play photos with jagged or distorted images?

This is weird. When I start a slide show, the photos immediately become distorted as they go from one transition to another. It's almost like the entire photo frame becomes "shattered" in several large pieces. Sometimes, when hitting the pause button, part of the photo is fine while the other part has lines all the way through it, obscurring that part of the photo. When playing music, there is no alteration in quality of the music; everything is normal.
What's going on here?

Hi j4net,
Have you tried a different transition? It could be your 450 computer is not up to speed. (just a guess)

Why does slide show stop working?

When I was creating tablet version layout from desktop layout, the slide show stopped working. Do you know why?

Seems odd, it should work. I would do a test. Add a new slideshow widget onto the tablet layout, leaving the images that Muse has and test to see if that works. If it does then there is an issue with the file you are coping in.

Why exporting slide show to QuickTime raises contrast and darkens images?

I've been creating slide shows in iPhoto, then exporting them to QuickTime to create QT.mov files which contain dissolve transitions and later add soundtracks using QTPro. Lately, when I've exported the images to QuickTime, the resulting images in the QT.mov file are invariably darker and more contrasty than the originals in iPhoto; in many cases unacceptably dark.
It appears that QuickTime modifies the images when it exports them.
I've experimented in PhotoShop, and discovered that to make the original Jpeg image match the modified QT version I have to increase the "Contrast" slider +11, and decrease the "Brightness" slider about -8 to -12 (in whatever units PhotoShop sliders are calibrated in). This is an enormous amount of change to the images! Since darkening the image increases the color saturation, every image has some color shift. Black skin tones shift to a heavy red/brown, and shadow details block up unacceptably.
It seems that QuickTime is "auto correcting" the images; automatically applying the sort of tweaking that makes a lot of snapshots look "snappier".
Of course, I've already spent hours correcting my images in PhotoShop, and they're just perfect (IMHO) when I feed them into iPhoto.
iPhoto itself doesn't change anything.. the images are unmodified during the importing, editing and preview of the slideshow; it's only when it's exported to QuickTime that the images are ruined.
I'm hoping that there's some knowledgable soul out there in CyberSpace who knows a way to turn this hidden "auto-correcting" feature off.

iPhoto can make two different types of slide show movies. It would help to know which you're making.
One is made via the File/Export to QuickTime movie and makes a 4 track file with a simple fade effect. These use the Photo-JPEG codec.
The other is a 30 fps "video" using H.264 video codec via the "Share" menu.
A third method (rarely used) is to Export to iDVD. This makes an absurdly high data rate MPEG-4 video. This is also found under the Share menu.
The MPEG-4 video codec also includes an "automatic" gamma correction feature which compensates for the gammas difference between Mac's and PC's.
Try one export to iDVD. Include your audio track prior but use a high quality (.aiff) sound file. No need to actually "burn" the DVD. You can even close iDVD after it opens. You'll find the new movie in your Users Movie folder.
Open it with QT Pro and export to a new .mov file. Adjust the data rate to something more reasonable and add some audio compression.
If the colors still look too dark you can use the built in Filters in the Export dialog. You can adjust B&C or HSL or even use ColorSync Profiles that can help correct the image quality (if needed).

Why does it show 54 photos on my About screen, when I have only 9 photos on my iPad mini?

Hello,
I have an iPad mini 2 (16GB White Wi-Fi) that I got for Christmas of 2013, and absolutely love it. I have had no problems so far. However, there is one thing that annoys me a little.
On my iPad, I have 9 photos that I took with the camera. On the About screen, it says I have 54 photos, and I have no idea why! I've disabled iCloud photo sharing, but I still have no idea why this is happening.
Does anybody know how to fix this? Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Do those 'extra' movies have a little cloud symbol? That means that you have access to the movie but it's stored in the cloud until you download it.
You can go into settings, scroll down to video and then change the setting 'show all videos', if it's showing all of them it shows what's on the device and available in the cloud. If it's not, then all you see is what's actually on your device.

Why does firefox not display photos with Hot spot slices in them

I took a photo and brought it into Fireworks and created a graphic map with hot spots to certain countries. While this looks great on Internet Explorer its not showing properly in firefox at all. http://www.aist.org/chapters/chaptermap.htm
Heres the example .

That website is an MS Office document that has VML content for the images. 
You can see that as green comment code in the page source (View > Page Source) 
Only IE can display such a document properly.
You need to save that page as W3C compliant HTML code and make sure that you disable VML to make it work in all browsers.
Looks that something is wrong with the image count for images used when VML is not enabled.
The image image003.jpg (http://www.karalee.com.au/index_files/image003.jpg) should be:
*http://www.karalee.com.au/index_files/image002.jpg
The image image005.jpg (http://www.karalee.com.au/index_files/image005.jpg) should be:

Why does disc show as filled with only one small file added?

I'm also new to Apple. I've a MacBook Pro - Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I've checked the documentation and help information and followed the instructios. The blank CD-R shows as (CD-R; BLANK - Yes; ERASEABLE - Yes; OVERWRITABLE - Yes; APPENDABLE- yes). I wrote one small file to the CD using the Burn Folder. The file was on the CD, but all available space was used with zero remaining. The disc is not erasable. One response to an earlier question to look for multisesson recorder and select leave disc appendable or look for a triangle in top right. Could not find this. I'm sure this is another area where I'm just looking in the wrong place for instruction. Any help is appreciated.

See these instructions:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1515120
Note, you will likely have to start with a new blank CD. Once burnt without appendability selected, it often can't be appended in the future.

PSE 8 Slide Show plays only part of audio track

Help,
I am making a slide show in PSE 8 with pictures and mp3 audio. The running time is about 12 minutes long. The slide show works fine with all of its transitions in PSE 8.
Now, I want to make a DVD of this slide show. I go to the share tab and click on a tab to burn disk. PRE 8 opens up and takes the information into its program. the program works for about 60 minutes to make the DVD.
The program tells me the DVD is complete.
I take it out and pop into DVD player and it plays the first two of three songs great. The DVD continues to show pictures till the end without audio.
please help
Bryan

my guess is that for the music that will not play, the mp3 file has some different characteristics and PSE can't use it. Perhaps it has Digital Rights Manangment or perhaps the mp3 contains album art .
So I recommend that you investigate the source and format of that specific mp3 file.
If you don't find any resolution after checking the above considerations,
then (as a means of troubleshooting)
I suggest that (instead of doing the Burn ti Disc-DVD) you Output a WMV file which you save in a folder that you designate on your PC Hard Drive.
Then playback that WMV file from your hard drive using Windows Media Player. Does all the music play or is the same music missing ?

IPhoto 9 does not show any photo of old Mac Mini's iPhoto 7 library

I'm trying to migrate an 80GB iPhoto library from my old Mac Mini to a new iMac. The old Mac Mini has iPhoto version 7. The new iMac iPhoto 9.
When I copied the complete library, iPhoto does not show any photos. How can I fix this? I already tried:
Using iPhoto Library Upgrader – however it shows: Your library can open with the current version of iPhoto and does not need to be prepared with this tool.
Using iPhoto's rebuilding etc functions on both Macs – this does not do the trick
Using iPhoto Library Manager – also shows 0 photo and rebuilding does not work.
Anybody knows a solution?
Thanks!

Doesn't work :
It is also quite strange that iPhoto just opens the library without any warnings, but without showing any of the content (photos, albums, etc.)

Why does Spotify stopped playing when i do something else like browse facebook, go see my messages?

why does Spotify stopped playing whenever i do something else on my phone like browse facebook, or read my phone messages, or open a link to read something? some other music apps like Jango lets you do whatever you want, but it keeps playing ur playlist.. i'm not even gonna mention how pitifully miniscule Spotify's music library is compared to this apps...ooops

Hi. I feel your pain my friend. This is so annoying it makes me want to cancel my "pro" subscription. I think it has to do with other audio from a web page (includes Facebook) overriding Spotify's audio. I have looked all over Spotify to see if there is an override the override setting. I can't find it. Maybe this bumps up this thread so we get some sort of answer. I wouldn't mind it even if we got it's not possible. At least then we'd know. That's the problem with forum posting - you never know if you're going to get an answer pee what kind of answer it may be. As the headline says this forum is not sourced from Spotify. hoibie
