You’ll either end up with black on the sides, or black on the top and bottom. If you’re wanting to fill your entire working area with an image and it doesn’t fit the aspect ratio (pixels wide x pixels tall), SOMETHING’s gotta give somewhere. If the image was a composite of multiple images to create a panorama, or it’s a landscape image, it will naturally be longer left to right – if we try to fit the image on the screen, we’ll end up with black bars on the bottom and top (again, if NOT at the same aspect ratio of the working area). If the image is portrait, OBVIOUSLY there’s going to be black bars on the left and right. We never (rarely?) consider how that particular image is going to look on the screen as far as “filling out” the usable screen real estate when played back in FotoMagico. One of the most important things to do is to crop the images as needed. When we go through all of our images from our trips, we almost always run them through Photoshop first, enhancing images, color, whatever we need to (or want to) do. I had a little trouble following that (perhaps that’s just me!).Īs I said originally, when we create a slide show we use the “Monitor” setting and “Display of this Macintosh” selected. There’s probably a setting where creating for one device will work if used with another, but I’m not positive as to what it is. Once I presented a show that had titles near the very bottom left-hand corner which looked great on the computer’s display, but got partially chopped off when played through a projector. When I connect my MacBook Pro to a projector with a VGA cable, or when I connect it to my 42" Panasonic Plasma HDTV using an HDMI cable, “sometimes” (I say that because I sometimes I have to adjust my computer’s display resolution to something the projector can handle) I end up with the slideshow displaying either of two ways – I have vertical black bars on the left and right, or horizontal black bars on the top and bottom. If I create a new slideshow using the “Monitor” setting with “Display of this Macintosh” clicked and save the presentation as a StandAlone Player, when I view it on the computer it was created on, it fills the entire screen, just as I would expect it to. I’m not exactly going to answer your question because I don’t feel I have a good handle on it either.īut, I can say this. I’ve always been confused by the “mixing” of creating a slideshow in one format for one piece of hardware and playing it back on another.
