trouble with exporting high res iPhoto slideshow
Iphoto Slideshow Gurus, I beseech thee! PLEASE HELP.
I have beautiful high resolution images taken by my professional wedding photographer. Imported just fine into iPhoto. I have been trying for 2 weeks to create a slideshow for my friends and family. It's been easy to create the slideshows, then I go to export. The export "works" in that I have a product to view, but several of the photos don't show up in the final product--the screen just goes black for a few seconds. I've redone the project, re-exported, etc. Nothing appears to work. Well... one thing worked. I eventually chose the lowest resolution setting for the export and voila! no more black screen clips. But the final product looks so crappy I no longer wish to send it to anyone. (If I choose the "medium" resolution option I still get the occasional black screen instead of the image.)
Any clue what to do? Is there some way to "alter" the affected images and dial down the resolution just on them individually and use a slightly lesser quality image just on those? It's the only thing I can think of, but I can't seem to figure out a way to do it.
Any thoughts welcome. THANKS!
