Hi, Many monitors are unevenly lit, a corner, an edge or the center is brighter than the rest. It's easy to see on a white background. I wrote a small free utility for Windows 10/11 that fixes this in software. It puts a transparent, click-through layer over the screen and darkens only the areas that are too bright, so the screen looks more even. I have used it for several years with my Dell U2417H, which has a bright spot in the center of the screen. - Easy setup: set the dimming for 9 screen zones, with a live preview. - For advanced users: load your own grayscale mask (BMP). - Works in all programs. No noticeable effect on speed. - Turns off automatically in fullscreen games and doesn't appear in screenshots. - Free and open source (MIT). Portable, no installation. Digitally signed (by WnSoft). Note: it fixes brightness only, not color tints, and only on the main monitor.

This was popular in the 1960s and 70s. Possibly due to limitations of manual zoom lenses and focusing. It was in a popular American TV show intro Hawaii Five-O. I think you need a high beats per minute music. You can adjust transition duration to match the beat. Four steps 125, 150,175,200%.

A created slide style (and exported style) contains TWO variants if the author chooses the "Use aspect ratio of this project.." option and then creates another slide style under the same name with a different aspect ratio option ("Any aspect ratio" or "Use aspect ratio of this project - 4:3", for example). The two styles will be combined and displayed as one virtual style. In other words, author creates 2-3 visually optimized slide styles for "16:9" projects and for “1:1” (or 4:3, etc.) projects under the same name. When the user applies this smart style, PTE will automatically choose the optimized version according to the current project’s aspect ratio (or the nearest variant for a non-standard aspect ratio). Generally, I recommend to create a single universal style with the "Any aspect ratio" option. The exported style will then contain only one version, for projects with any aspect ratio.

Thanks. I also created a dissolve version. I promise not to make a pan version. 😀 Tom Step Dissolve.pteeff

Hi! In case you like geometric shape transitions, here is a link if you want to try them out. https://www.mediafire.com/file/owcke2r14qhaw8z/Geometric_shape_transitions.rar/file

You can create the Orton Effect in PTE AV Studio 12 using layers and screen blend mask. I created a style that makes it easy to duplicate on many slides. You can adjust opacity of the Mask Content to change the effect. For higher contrast night mages and text graphics I think the bokeh version works the best. Some layer based image editors might have an Orton filter. It might also be named glow. I think it might make and interesting transition so I will try to create and post. Update: I have included the transition below. https://www.capturelandscapes.com/orton-effect-explained/ Thanks, Tom Orton Gauss.ptestyle Orton Bokeh.ptestyle Orton.pteeff

This I have already done, please see above. When building a Style it is inevitable that there will be interim versions. Instead of overwriting, it is probably best to give each a unique number. DG

Thank you very much for sharing this style; it’s always a great choice, especially for the upcoming season. While I’m at it, I’d like to mention something—I’ve run into the same issue quite a few times: the file size is 10.75 MB, even though it should be about half that. I’m not sure why it sometimes ends up duplicating the style. It’s not a major problem, but since I don’t know why it happens, I thought I’d bring it up. I’ve included an image.

Hi, Thanks, we recently discovered this problem, and it will be fixed soon, likely within several days.

I'm with you Doug. I rarely create a show where the images are totally still onscreen. I also didn't like the all of the movements or the timing in the included Ken Burns style (I don't like the tilting effects). So I just created several of my own custom "Ken Burns" styles with just the amount of zoom or pan or timing that I like and tend to use my styles in most of my shows with various transition effects to suit the show or the individual slides. Of course I usually make adjustments to individual slides where needed. I guess to each his own.

Hey Jill I sort of disagree with your "seasick" analogy. I tend to use the pan/zoom pretty much on all of my "travelogue" shows that are anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes in length with hundreds of slides (mostly jpg's with some video clips mixed in). I have also tended to be very subtle in the degree of the effect (e.g., sometimes zoom out very slightly, sometimes zoom in somewhat faster, same for the pans). I often have video clips mixed in which changes the pace of things and also occasionally mix in some other styles and transitions. Doug
