  1. Excellent feature. For me, this one feature makes the upgrade worth it, it will save so much time.
  2. Hi Igor That's solved it. Thank you. I'm printing the dialogs for some reference cards, as I struggle with reading direct from the screen at times; I've always been a book person. So this will save a lot of ink! Thanks again Eric
  3. Not the most urgent, I know, but the keep the interface consistent: I tried switching to the 'Light color scheme' and found on both Mac and PC some of the dialogs appear in their dark mode. The ones affected (on both Mac and PC) are: File > Open File > Save As File > Create Backup in ZIP Publish > Show for Mac Publish > Executable File for PC Publish > Safe Executable File for PC and Slide > Change Image File also Publish > Screen Saver (PC only) As I say, not the most urgent tasks but important in the long run.

  4. It is vital in my opinion that the Mac be able to record audio within PTE just as Windows does. This really needs addressing in the next version; it's frustrating to have to record to a separate file just to add a comment to a slide.
  5. Totally agree with Jill; I, too, record an entire script in one take and then split it (this I normally do in Audacity, but it would be much faster with a keystroke in PTE). Eric
  6. I would like to help with Beta testing the Mac version. I have a MacBook Pro notebook - the latest (late 2019) 16-inch version with 16 GB RAM and an AMD Radeon Pro 5500M (4 GB) and an i9 processor.. I'm running macOS Catalina version 10.15.5 (but will be upgrading once the next OS is ready). I already have the Pro licence for the Windows version of PTE AV Studio 10. Hope to hear from you in the near future Eric
  7. No problem, Jill - I'll be there early as usual depending on traffic. Eric
  8. Jill, Blend mode 'Add' is in the third group (the lighten blend modes) - it's listed as Linear Dodge (Add) in my version (not sure if older versions just listed it as Linear Dodge). It's actually the strongest of the lighten blend modes, being a stronger version of Screen, just as Linear Burn is a stronger version of Multiply. The modes you mention are the most useful for most purposes, though I also find myself using Color and Luminosity on occasion, as well as Difference if I'm trying to align images accurately within Photoshop.

  9. Thanks, all. The combination of Aligning Layers - I use it often but didn't even think about it for this project! Thick or what? And I never even saw the Snap to Grid checkbox. Brilliant, that should help a great deal. If I've not solved it by then, we'll look at it in October at Wilmslow, please Jill. I'm going to have a play with this again later today so thanks again for the help. Eric
  10. Thanks for your comments, Lin and Barry. What I'm thinking of is a clutter-free screen with the ability to drag my own guides to identify a point on. eg a butterfly egg and use that accurate placement to help me align other images where the caterpillar is emerging - I hate it when there's slight juddering due to misalignment. I don't find the normal grid helps because of the number of lines and not being able to pull them into place. I agree that Smart Guides would be great (I use them a lot in Ps) but it probably is as Barry says 'an ask too far'. I have done the egg sequence, but needed to do it entirely in Photoshop for accuracy and then re-import the JPGs into PTE. Would be nice not to go back and forth so much.
  11. I'd like to see the ability to add and drag your own guides (as in Photoshop) - would make aligning objects much easier.
  12. Working fine on this computer - Windows 10 64-bit on i7 processor Hope that helps Eric
