teethgator Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 OK now I have my recent photos in lightroom,located in a collection. Looks greaton the slideshow but how do I show them now to other people. I don't have a laptop yet so I can't hook up to a TV. What I have done before is tranfer my photosto i-photo and then to i-move and make a slide show there- must be an easier wayto burn/copy the slideshow in lightroom so I can take it with me and show off myphoto's in someones DVD player. Please yet me know what you do to show othersyour work.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teethgator Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 Prints are nice Dick-but I wanted to show them on a TV hence a real slide show like in lightroom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mendel_leisk Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I know, prints are out, but just have to say: I just put and 8.5x11 into an inexpensive 11x14 frame with a precut black matt with white core. Looks fantastic. It really makes it worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teethgator Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 Mendel-I agree-I have a lot of my favorite photos hanging on my wall-maybe I didn't make myself clear I have 135 phortos I just took when I was in Prague and I want to show my SLIDE-SHOW of these photos to others. I don't want to take these photos and print 135 4x6 prints or hang them on the wall ): I want to find out how others replicate the slide show you make in lightroom to show not on my computeer but burn a disc so I can give it to others to watch on there dvd player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_rochkind Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 If you want to see them on a TV, and want to take the player with you, and don't want to hassle with iPhoto, iMovie, and iDVD, just copy the images to an Epson P-3000/5000 image viewer. You can view them (individually or as a slide show) on the Epson's screen or connect it to a TV via a more-or-less standard cable (not supplied but easily obtained). Other photo storage devices might have a similar capability. The Epson is, of course, also good for backing up cards in the field, which is its main purpose. Show movies, too... great for plane trips. Details at http://basepath.com/index-real.php?url=blogentry/2007-03-10.htm. --Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rene gm Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 You can just copy to a DVD, since most players nowadays can slide show the images. However, for quality, you will like to produce a film using some software. I use Magix Photos on CD, but this is Windows. Really great zoom around and pan in images.

cjmalcolm Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Yes, an automated DVD slideshow really doesn't do your images any justice, iDVD's slideshow rendering degrades the image horrendously to conform to the DVD format. I've tried, never again. If you were to make a DVD, I think Rene's suggestion is better, you'll have more control of the quality. Does your some camera have a slideshow function? Some do, via an RCA cable or the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teethgator Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 Rene what would work on a Mac? Isn't iMovie simular to magic photo? Marc your idea is simple and would give me a back up to use in the field's just a little pricy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad_ Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I make <a href= "http://www.citysnaps.net/Book/">handmade books</a>. They're portable and very tactile. www.citysnaps.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teethgator Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 Thanks Brad-very nice-but what if you have a lot of photos from a vacation? Does anyone out there want to show off lets say 200 photos. I don't want to print that many or place in a book-although for a few it is a great idea.

Brad_ Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Paul, if your goal is to drive a TV, ypu could put a collection on an iPod, which can drive a TV directly. The iPod has built-in sequencing, similar to a slide show. www.citysnaps.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emre Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Get a 1080p-capable projector if you want to impress. If not, you can get a cheap, JPEG-compatible DVD player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad_ Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 What's nice about the iPod solution is that it's very portable - and can drive most any TV when you visit friends. And of course it can display a slideshow on it's own screen when on the road... www.citysnaps.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdsalyer Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 You might try something like this product from Inoi: <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822173057">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822173057</a> <p /> It's basically an external hard drive that has software and A/V outputs for playing back media files (it also has a remote control). My father bought one for similar reasons (to show photos on a TV) and seems to like it, though I haven't checked it out myself yet. I don't think it can handle RAW files, though, if that's a requirement. <p /> Hope this helps. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teethgator Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 Spencer-my photos are in raw (: but the iPod sounds interesting. I assume depending on the size of the iPod my raw will fit. I had planned to get a laptop for work-I assume this would work even nicer with a TV. Brad I guess using a TV sounds the best to me. I just wanted to sit around with family and friends and show my photos and I was curious how other photonet members showed there pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_jordan3 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I've been using "ProShow Gold" for over a couple years now to build shows for friends/family and have been very satisfied. DVDs can be burned to play on TV using a standard DVD player or executable files for PC play back. Choices of backgrounds and transitions are very flexible...and easy to use for complete control of how your images will be displayed. What's nice is that just about everyone owns a DVD player so there's nothing to haul around...like I used to with a slide projector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rene gm Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 No Magix won't work on Mac. I do not know about a similar program for Mac. The trick is that you zoom and pan in your images. This makes for a much better viewing experience than a still image on TV. Have a look at their homepage for an example. But it requires a lot of work to set up the film, especially if you want to do it nicely. Moreover, even a fast computer takes hours to compute and burn the DVD. Though it does a backup along with the film, it is not a backup solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
