My current project is to convert a selection of photos taken on film
back in 1989 and produce a DVD/slideshow of this holiday for viewing
on a TV set
So far I have scanned the old photos in sets of 3 and have created
41 sets of these shots as separate jpg files
I have given each of the groups of 3 a name to identify the locality
in which the photos were taken and dropped them all into I Photo
So far this has given me 41 slides to the slide show but I have lost
the titles allocated to each group
Can someone point me in the right direction to achieve my objective?
sounds to me that may want to use the Events capability as a way of
organising your selection
1. IMPORTING
When we import pictures into iPhoto off our camera, the thumbnail
view of the photos on the SD card show up.
I select which photos I want to import and at the bottom of the
window, in the event name, I type what ever I choose,
I also select - hide photo already imported
click import selected.
I then go the event just imported
select the photos and then make a new library album, or add them to
an existing album.
NOTE prior to creating a album, you can a Folder and a series of
Albums in them. For instance we have a folder called HOLIDAYs in the
side bar, and have a series of albums in them, such as Albany 2010,
cervantees 2011, Boyagin rock 2009 , etc
another way if importing from a hard disk
iPhoto file>import> select images>import
a new untitled event is created> rename event
again select the photos in the event and create a new album.
2. IF ALREADY IMPORTED
if the photos are already imported, whcih seems to be what you saying.
select the photos, go Events>Add flagged photos to new Event>rename event
or select photos fo>file>New Album from selection>name album
as already mentioned you can create a folder say HOLIDAY 1989, then
add separate albums ( 41 of them) to this folder - the number is no
big deal , I have 61 Albums in my PROJECTS folder.
I use iphoto 09 version 8.1.2
I've looked at the videos on Iphoto 11, very impressive capabilities
Hope this helps
I also have a collection of old transparencies taken back in the
1960/70s and am looking to achieve the same aim after I have scanned
a selection of them. I have the scanner
I have I Photo 11 Version 9.1.1 and I Movie 11 Version 9.0.1 installed.
