Lightroom :: 4 Won't Show Slideshow On 2nd Display?
Jul 23, 2013
I've been using Lightroom 4 in our studio since it came out of beta. We have been running it with our projector set as the second display (windows7). Last week it stopped displaying the slideshow through the projector. The module recognizes the second display but when we run the slideshow nothing is displayed. All the other functions display through the projector normally. I must have changed some setting but can't figure out what.
I have been working on a set of images from a recent vacation and created a web gallery to display them. I am using a Retina MacBook Pro and I noticed that when loaded in the browser (Safari), the gallery images look slightly blurry - similar to "non-retina" prepared images. I also created a slideshow in the slideshow module and they look the same.
if this is due to the fact that Lightroom is not rendering the preview images to be compatible with retina (HiDPI) support? I have invested in such an expensive piece of hardware and I'm getting such blurry looking images.
Is it possible to display the 'shot date' of photos witin a Slideshow. In showing a slideshow, I'm being asked; "when was that pix taken?". It would answer these questions by having the shot date shown.
While I still try, unsuccessfully, to get Gimp to run on my Mac...
I'm not a graphic artist, but I do have a task I would like to accomplish, so a couple of quick questions?
It's been over 10 years since I experimented with graphics software of any kind other than resize and/or convert from one format to another.
Scenario to illustrate my question:
I create a new graphic, of X by Y proportions. Create a black circle in the center of the graphic. Save graphic.
When I import the graphic into a document, web page, email composition window, etc., I would like only the black circle to display when the background is a color other than white. IOW, I want the unused/blank part of the graphic to be transparent.
I've found the online manual to be confusing to follow, since I can't easily "thumb" through the pages to see a picture of the effect I want to accomplish, and I'm not sure of the correct terminology.
I found a PDF manual for 2.4, are there instructions that cover this? I'm not really interested in printing it, or having it printed. If the manual were for 2.6, I would consider having it printed.
I don't simply want to see the coordinates when I hover over a point. I want the coordinates actually showing on the document. Is there a plug-in that can accomplish this easily?
I can't remember the option how to change the display of linetypes to show as solid instead of as two lines. I think this may be something to do with the 'solidfill' option.

I'm very unfamiliar with any but the most basic stuff in Library and Develop. I've attempted to create a slide show, decided I wanted to change it and start over but it seems the unsaved slideshow is still hanging about.
I don't see how to get rid of it, I continue to see an 'Unsaved slide show' written near the top left/center of slideshow screen.I want to just ditch that attempt and start over.
I have a 66 image slideshow sorted from a collection.
LR will only export 11 images.
I have tried from the original images (not in a collection), have saved a slideshow, have previewed and played, everything works fine on screen but I can't export the slideshow as jpegs.
I am trying to select music for my slideshow in LR 3. When I click on "select music" in the Slideshow Module I am able to select a song but because of the number of photos in the show I need more than one song or else find a much longer song. I need to add three songs to get adequate length. This is on a PC laptop. I have tried holding down various buttons while clicking on an additional song to add. including the shift button, Alt button, Ctrl, Window button, and Fn. It still keeps unchecking the selected song and then checking the next song I click on.
How do I get more than one song into the Slideshow?
In LR 4, you should skip the previews and just start playing a slideshow (it would render as it played). It looks like that's been removed in LR5? How can I restore the LR4 functionality?
I have exported a slideshow in LR4.2 , w7 64bit, the html preview file works ok but the swf file just shows a greay screen with a ciurcular arrow flashing on a grey screen.
I have created a collection set in Lightroom 5, and under this set there are 5 collections. I would like to make a slide show of this collection set, and I would like my slide show go in sequence with collection 1 through 5. Each collection has still and video images and I would like to put a text messages in the beginning of each collection segment.
I searched the web, look into few books that I have and I did not see anything dealing on how to make a slide show out of a collection set.
Why exporting a slidehshow pdf should result in some images not being displayed but in their place a grey screen with a red diagonal band from corner to corner..?
I have a question concerning the Slideshow module in LR5. When you add to create a slideshow music file (any file in mp3 format) appears in the right pane, next to the name of the music file exclamation point with the message: "The selected file is not a valid music file".
This is - as I wrote above - with each music file in mp3 how I try to add a Playback slideshow.
I have a time series if 245 images that I want to run in a slideshow. Problem is I want to run them in reverse order to that shown in the library. Any thoughts on how this can be done?
Yesterday suddenly some clients came over to see my work.Besides showing them the albums i thought it would be cool to also to show them a slideshow.I knew lightroom could do this, so i quickly selected a bunch of foto's and went to the slideshow module. It was super easy! Next step.. adding music. The slideshow was 10minutes long and so i needed around 3 music songs
However.. i could only manage to get 1 song for the entire slideshow.. Is there a (hidden) option to add more songs or a playlist?
While it looks like there have been some great updates in the forthcoming version, I'm surprised to not see mention of any new slideshow functionality. LR3 was very disappointing in this regard only letting you use one song and also no ability to apply ken burns type effects etc. Am I missing something or did Adobe really not make any changes to that module?
I had this problem before, thought I had cured it, but it has come back. At the end of a slideshow, I always add this slide.
Slideshow will hang up on export encoding the frame for this image, or the last one before it. Before when I had this problem, I had always stored it as a jpeg and just coppied it into the folder of images to be included in the slideshow. Thinking it must be a corrupted file of some sort, although it will open fine in CS5, I created a new image and stored it as a tiff. I then would open it in CS5, and 'save as' a new jpeg in the image folder. Now, no matter what I do, sometimes it will work fine, and sometimes it will hang up. LR 4.1 just sits there. No error message. Just will not complete the final frames. Very frustrating to wait an hour or more for it to create a slideshow and it hangs at the last image. I am on a Vista Home Premium machine.
I'm having a problem exporting slides to video using the Slideshow tab in Lightroom 3. I have a folder of images that I am trying to export to video. The folder contains 290 or so images. I have successfully exported folders with more and less images before, so I know that the number of images is not the problem.
When I export the folder of images to video, Lightroom will consistently freeze on the last frame and refuse to do any more work or complete the action. There doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason to this occuring, as I have closed all other programs to free up as much memory as possible, rebooted my machine, and restarted Lightroom. I have used identical settings to export other folders with success. FWIW, this same bug affects LR4 beta.
