Very nice! Thank you for sharing!

Lovely show and very relaxing to watch! You have a such a great eye for composition. Loved the various reflections, especially the one with ice at the edges in the late afternoon light. Thank you again for sharing!

What a lovely collection of images! I was really moved by the exquisite lightening in some of them. And of course, the scenery is spectacular. You have put it all together with your usual attention to the details, fades and movement of the images. Would love to hear a bit more about the actual locations. I am never disappointed when I download your shows and they are always "Keepers". Hope you and yours are doing well.

Nicely done! I really liked the opening you have created. These are some of my favorite places as well. Living in the US Southwest provides us so many photographic opportunities.

Gary, Thanks for the Route Generator link. I too like to add maps to my videos and have created some with PowerDirector or in PTE with Photoshop layers and masks -- a bit of a pain. I always put a map on the back of the photobooks I create. FYI, there is another app that you might find interesting: Geo Photo for creating maps if your camera has GPS or you take snaps with a phone to store locations. Mary

Nicely done, Gary! And it appears that your efforts with this show in Beta 10 have been instrumental in helping Igor and his team in solving quite a few issues with this new version. We are adventuresome too, but some of those roads would have put my heart in my mouth. Loved the hairy cows and I especially liked the steam train segment. Your map was wonderfully done. Mind sharing exactly how you did it? Looks like another trip of a lifetime for you two (and it seems like you've got quite a few under your belt now). I am envious! Thanks so much for sharing!

Gary, The Vimeo link worked fine for me. The Facebook one did also but the Vimeo version looks a bit sharper and clearer.

OT Judy, How fortunate you were to have met him in person! I followed his articles and columns religiously and marveled at his abilities and photographic talents. His death was such a tremendous loss to all photographers.

Thanks for this one, as well as all of the other templates you share, Dave. Take a look at this transition and see if you think it's worth duplicating in PTE. I have tried a couple of times, but never got very far with it. http://www.masterslider.com/template/box-slider-template/ You might find some other interesting transition ideas here as well. http://www.masterslider.com/templates/ I have been using the Wordpress version of the slider on the blog I am creating.

Stunning photography, Maureen, as usual! Your selection of images and the fades between those images is really well done. And the music selection is perfect. Really enjoyable presentation! One of these days I hope to have time to create more of my own slideshows. I just hope they can be half as good as yours!

Fantastic as always! Your choice of music for these shows is impeccable. More inspiration for my upcoming trip! Bookings have been made!

Nicely done! We visited the mines 2 years ago and I especially liked the colorfully lit gnomes. After we had climbed down the initial 800 steps -- which gave my husband some difficulty -- the guide said "Oh, I should have told you we have an elevator." Duh! Anyway thanks for the memory.

Incredible scenery, magnificient photography and a well put-together show! Another keeper! As always, thanks so much for sharing with us. One of these days, when I finish putting together photo books of my recent travels, I hope to get around to doing some slideshows. In the meantime, you can catch my photos at https://www.instagram.com/mhwarnerphoto/

Mark, I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your latest show. Very well done and even more amazing considering the fact that it was done only with an iPhone camera. We visited Auschwitz 2 years ago and I think your show conveys the feelings I had during my visit. The black and white is particularly effective. Thanks for sharing this. Also, I should mention that while I downloaded it quite a while back, I just recently had the time to view your Iceland show. Another very well done show. Thoroughly enjoyed it! Made me want to hop on a plane and visit!

Well done, as usual! Loved the lambs and the boat filled with daffodils. And I especially liked the final image on the credits. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Igor, Sorry not to respond sooner. I was busy taking pictures at the Grand Canyon and had no internet connection. I uninstalled PTE 9 and then reinstalled the latest version 9.01. I did not experience the same issue. The demo show loaded and played properly immediately upon first open, so whatever the problem was, it seems to be resolved. Thanks for being so responsive!

It does seem to work Ok from "Help\Welcome screen". It has always worked in previous beta versions when I first loaded the program after installation. Not sure why it didn't this time. Thanks for the quick reply.

Thanks! Not sure how I missed it. I thought I looked there. Guess my eyes are getting old.

Sometime around Feb. 1 Igor provide a demonstration of a new "Album" style for PTE 9. I am not finding it in either the Slide Styles selections. I also looked in the Slide Transitions just in case but it was not in either place. Not talking about the Wedding Album style recently posted by Lin but that one referenced in this thread: https://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?/topic/19798-album-style/ It is certainly not listed under the "Wedding" category of the styles list and I couldn't find it under any of the other categories.

Not sure where this should go since it isn't about a beta version but the new release. I downloaded and installed according to the defaults (on Win10 home). My last beta install was Beta 14 and I allowed the install to copy my settings from there. The program loaded and attempted to play the automatic video that loads at the initial install. All I got was the frame and a black square in the middle. It never loaded and I received the following error: Exception EAssertionFailed in module PicturesToExe.Exe at 0000AE1F. I had to let Windows shut down the program and restarted it. It opened fine but the video did not display this time (I assume it only displays on the first install). I loaded the "Sample Project" and it displayed just fine.

I used to make DVDs for sale when I was doing horseback riding event photography, but I haven't done that for about 3 years. Now when doing presentations for friends and family, I simply connect my laptop to a TV via HDMI and run the .exe. High quality and easy to do. Haven't run into any situations where they have old TVs without HDMI inputs. And only one format of presentation to do. Occasionally, though, I do .mp4s for showing on Facebook or Instagram.

Thanks for all the hard work you have put into this and especially for sharing it with us. Much appreciated!

Nicely done, Mark! Amazing waterfalls. I like the subtle zooming. And I loved the bit with the horses. Icelanding horses are so adorable.

What can I say? Amazing landscape, incredible lighting and beautiful photography -- all put together in a show that I can watch over and over. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks, Lin! At the moment, I am using it to pan through single image panos for posting on Instagram, but your suggestion will be helpful in the future.
