Hi Gary Thankyou for your helpful comments on this issue In this case I am happy with the importing and dealing with images once imported as well.
It is the sets of scans from old film photos that are/were the problem. I think that I have now found a solution by using IMovie and the many features therein rather than trying to deal with them in IPhoto Once again my thanks for your comments Graeme On 21/01/2011, at 11:29 AM, gary dorn wrote: > >> 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.
