I’m glad to announce the new PTE AV Studio Online Help: English: https://docs.pteavstudio.com/en-us/10.0/main Italian: https://docs.picturestoexe.com/it-it/10.0/main It will be the official help for PTE AV Studio on English and Italian language and we’ll add links in PTE AV Studio and on WnSoft website to this new online help. I’m very grateful to Dave Gould, Jeff Evans, Lin Evans, Peter Appleton and Carmelo Battaglia who are writing the articles for the online help! Dave Gould (DaveGee) is also the coordinator of PTE AV Studio Online Help. Please contact him with all suggestions and questions.

Thanks, Tom!

Barry, Thanks!

Dave, Tom, Thanks for testing! Tom, Please try with other projects.

Tom, Thanks! We'll try to reproduce this problem. I see that you added two shows with menu for DVD. What time duration of each slideshow? Did you include any additional files (e.g. EXE files) for DVD?

We finished the new code for DVD burning in VideoBuilder. This version should help users who couldn't burn DVD discs in previous versions of PicturesToExe. Please test a special test version of PicturesToExe 8.0.2: http://www.wnsoft.com/files/picturestoexe/picturestoexe-setup.exe 1. Burn DVD disc - (R or ReWritable). 2. Create ISO image. 3. Burn ISO image. This code will be included to the final update 8.0.2 after testing. Currently this special test version doesn't include other changes. Thanks in advance!

Hi Jean-Charles, Very impressive work! May I suggest a small improvement? It should help users of this style. You can set a fixed aspect ratio for square images (set Aspect ratio as 1:1 in Crop tool in Adjust Image and Border). It will allow to add any images with any source aspect ratio, the style will automatically crop images. Probably it's late to add this parameter now, because there are hundreds of objects, probably text editor may help. In future PTE this demo / style should work a little faster.

Thanks for the information! I'm very impressed - 8 pages in the German magazine about PicturesToExe!

jt, PicturesToExe will sugggest several options: 1. No color management. 2. Convert images with color profiles to sRGB (option by default) 3. Convert all images to current color profile of the display. And probably other options. I'm not sure that next version will able to cache converted images. The most likely first version will convert color space on the fly in the EXE. It delays loading of JPEG images on 20%.

Daniel, PicturesToExe will perform automatic color management by default. Users need to change anything.

Do you have a problem with recognizing of CAPTCHA anti-spam question?

Daniel, You used previous test application. It works incorrectly in some cases. Please try the latest version I posted yesterday: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27544810/pte/Test-Color-Management-3.zip

Thanks, I forgot to say - you're right regarding video clips in Adobe RGB / ProPhoto RGB space. But I'm not sure that it's possible.

Gogs, Probably your video card is not enough powerful to handle blur feature and observe reduced FPS during animation?

Urmas, I mainly agree with you. But to help new users color management should be enabled by default? JPEG images with profiles should be transformed to sRGB by default. jt, It seems that Windows 8 has some difference with Windows 7. We'll check up. Thanks. Remove .icm file from the test app's folder. Choose 3rd variant. Will it work and shows correct colors?

Please try the new Test Color Management 3 https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27544810/pte/Test-Color-Management-3.zip You see 3 options: 1. No color management. 2. Transformation of JPEG images with color profiles to sRGB. 3. Transformation of ANY JPEG images to current color profile of your display. Notes to option #3: if your default color profile is sRGB you will not see any difference between options 2 and 3. If you have display which support Adobe RGB and you installed Adobe RGB profile in Windows, this test application will show correct colors. So we can do same color management in future PicturesToExe.

jt, Please wait, this code is not finished. We'll prepare the new test soon. Please send me screenshot of our the test application (with two picture) and screenshot of same image in Photoshop. I'll look.

You can create ISO image and then use VideoBuilder to burn several copies of DVD. See this screenshot.

Hallo Cèlou, In theory it should work. 1. Does this problem occur with previous versions of PicturesToExe? 2. Please can you ask other French users of PicturesToExe - do they have same problem?

Gogs, Please send me a test show with only this slide. I'll check up. I admit that moire may occur with blurred objects with certain combination of animation.

Yes, we can do color management in future PicturesToExe as you see in this test application. If it's OK, we start this work.

Thanks for your responses! Honestly I'm not expert in color management yet. My understanding of this subject regarding monitors: 1. In desktop mode of Windows all applications can send only images in sRGB formats. Because Windows Vista/7/8/8.1 uses DirectX 3D technology to render the user interface. And Windows use sRGB textures to render interface of applications. So we can perform only transformation of Adobe RGB / ProPhoto RGB to sRGB color space. This test utility works this way. 2. The most likely it's possible to use more wide color space natively if use exclusive fullscreen mode of Direct3D. You'll get true wide colors of your pictures, but only in fullscreen mode (preview or EXE show), not when you work in the main window of PicturesToExe. This is suitable for professional monitors capable to display more wide space than sRGB. I'll explore this subject. P.S. Please take into account that images in JPEG in Adobe RGB or ProPhoto RGB color space have some issue with gradients, because JPEG is only 8 bit per channel.

jt49, Please look same JPEG with color profile in Photoshop. Compare opened image with right image in this test application. Do you see the difference? This test application should load two color profiles - embedded ICM in JPEG file and color profile of default monitor. Probably in your case the second profile was not loaded correctly.

Left image shows same colors as in EXE shows. Right image - with applied ICM color profile. Please compare colors with Photoshop.

Thanks, we'll try to add the color management in future version(s) of PicturesToExe. Please see my question here:
