Regarding this topic Please download this test application: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27544810/pte/Test-Color-Management-2.zip Click the Open button and load your JPEG image with a embedded color profile. The ZIP archive includes one sample JPEG image with a color profile. Try with this and with your files. You'll see two variants on the screen: 1. Without color management on the left side (like PicturesToExe - all versions). 2. With color management on the right side. Is it what you need?

I'm configuring the online help system right now. We need authors who could help to write selected chapters.

Right now we're working on the new online help system for PicturesToExe on English language. It will allow to download documentation as PDF file. Please wait a little.

Dave, Yes, on images 4:3 the effect looks wrong. Probably it's better to set fixed aspect ratio (16:9) for main image in the style? PTE can automatically crop the image.

Hi Dave! Very interesting! I'll test it on various images tomorrow. Thanks!

Dave, I understand that on the attached samples the mask effects were created manually according visual objects on images. But I think that several fixed variants of a mask also should give the nice result.

Who can create a mask for image and make a slide style to achieve this effect?

Vincent, Thanks for the test project! I couldn't reproduce this error message, but I see that 3rd slide consumes too much memory. I recommend to reduce a size of all pictures. If you plan your show for displays up to 1920 x 1080, you neeed to optimize size of images according their visual size of the screen. You have 4 large images (5184 x 3456 = 71 MB) on a slide and several medium size images. Masks includes very large images. Replace PNG images in masks by grayscale JPEG images and it will allow PTE to optimize this scene at least for mini-player and for playback of EXE show. Also reduce pixel size of masks images in 2 times. You should not see any visible difference.

Andrew, Colin, The PNG text on the last slide has a small size (405 x 272). To solve this small issue it will be enough to re-create this text image at 1280 x 860.

Vincent, Please can you send me this project (source files) in a ZIP archive? I'll try to reproduce this problem and then we'll able to fix it. If it possible, please upload ZIP file to Dropbox or Mediafire and give me a link via personal message.

I already replied you in two different topics that PicturesToExe 8 requires at least 128 MB of video memory and video card should support DirectX 9: System Requirements: http://www.wnsoft.com/picturestoexe/requirements/ With new features we can't provide support for video cards older than 10 years.

Richard, What video card installed in your PC?

Eric, Please look on the attached screenshot. Did you fill all text fields? What web browser you use? Try in another - Chrome or latest Firefox.

Hi Bill, Thank you for the announcement and for the new gallery! I'd like to ask all PicturesToExe users publish your shows in the new gallery.

Dave, Do you mean a text caption on the button?

If this problem will occur again with custom slide styles, please let me know. I need a copy of the folder of all custom styles in ZIP archive. Then we'll able to easily find a reason of this problem.

Dave, Please explain in more details. I'm not sure that I rightly understand your suggestion.

Hello Robert, We changed this interface in the previous version 7.5. I think that the old command and button to run a preview from selected slide is not intuitive for new users. Please look on the first attached screenshot - to run the preview you need to click a "4 arrow" button below the mini-player. This conception should be familiar to many users who worked with software video players or with online video players (YouTube). A button to switch the player to the fullscreen mode is located together with other controls of the player. This new button also allows to run a fullscreen preview from any TIME POSITION which you select in the timeline view. See the 2nd screenshot. With old command/button it was impossible. So why to keep two buttons for same task on the screen? Please explain me if we missed something important regarding the work of this function.

Thanks, Lin!

How you think - can I move this topic to the main section of the forum? More people will see it.

Steven, Dave, Many thanks for your comments on dpreview! I very appreciate it.

Carmelo, Thank you very much for you work! I think that Italian users will be grateful to you.

Also it's important to use high quality DVD discs. For example, Verbatim and TDK.

Dave, I configured this code to allow some tolerance to entered values. Just in case. jt, Aspect ratio is located on the Main tab to help new users understand how to start the work with PicturesToExe. Screen tab suggests more advanced parameters. If your project uses fullscreen mode, width and height are virtual values just to help calculate pixel values for complex slides with many objects.
