well it mistakenly got deleted by a moderator and he has written to my self,jp and Igor in the interim from my archives -- best i can do Printable Version of Topic WnSoft Forums _ Slideshows created in PicturesToExe _ Penser avec son pinceau Posted by: JPD Mar 22 2009, 08:57 AM http://diapositif.net/Diaporamas/09-03-09_...son_pinceau.zip is a slideshow using Mask function about a french impressionist painter. Posted by: davegee Mar 22 2009, 11:31 AM This is as good as it gets !!!!!!! DaveG Posted by: admin1 Mar 22 2009, 01:58 PM Jean-Pierre, Bravo! Very impressive. I even didn't expect that it could be done using PicturesToExe and Masks objects. P.S. I've sent you email regarding antialiasing of Rectangle objects, please could you reply me? Posted by: deskjet1uk Mar 22 2009, 03:19 PM Absolutely amazing, very well put together. thank you so much, the best I have ever seen. Ralph Posted by: Ken Cox Mar 22 2009, 05:14 PM Jean I cant imagine what you are going to do for an encore performance a keeper for sure ken Posted by: Rooskidiver Mar 22 2009, 07:17 PM Wow! All I can say is pure genius. I'm thinking I could work with PTE for another hundred years and never come up with anything that imaginative or impressive. Thanks so much for the show ... and as Ken says ... definitely a keeper! Posted by: JPD Mar 23 2009, 02:28 AM Many thanks for your comments, it's only the demonstration of what we can do with a tool I am finishing and that everybody will be abble to use to do such slideshow. I think it will be ready in a month, for free, of course. A first tool is ready to resize slideshow (to create DVD for instance), it's http://diapositif.net/Outils/Redimensionnement_pour_DVD.zip. It needs Excel or Open Office (free) To day it's in french, but if somebody agree to translate in english, it's possible for me to include english language in the tool. Others tools will be soon ready. Igor, I will write you today. Posted by: canteau Mar 23 2009, 06:42 PM Fantastic and great work Jean-Pierre, you are the Césanne PTE ... Thank you very much for your vision on the evolution of this fantastic software to Igor. Bravo ! Posted by: LumenLux Mar 24 2009, 01:38 AM Wonderful Jean-Pierre! Enjoyed in awe. Makes me want to brag to the world that I know you. When Igor revealed his first animation version, I said that any visual presentation could now be done with PTE. You have again added proof to my "vision." Posted by: Picsel Mar 24 2009, 11:40 AM SUPERBE! Daniel Posted by: JPD Mar 25 2009, 03:20 AM Merci Bernard, mieux vaut être en effet Cézanne que ces ânes For english speaking people : Thanks Bernard plus a joke with a friend which would have no meaning in english. Thanks Robert, yes many visual presentations are possible with mask, and this one is only one among hundreds of possibilities. Merci Daniel. Posted by: RayC Mar 25 2009, 04:49 AM Just Fantastic have watched over and over again and will do so again. Thanks for allowing us to view it. Ray Posted by: Rooskidiver Mar 25 2009, 11:09 PM Okay I have to ask. What exactly is this mask function? Is it something in PTE or Photoshop or another program. And did you have to have hundreds or thousands of slides to make the show? Sorry if these are obvious techniques to everyone else ... but I'm clueless. I would have asked in my first reply to the show but was hoping someone else would ask first. Posted by: xahu34 Mar 26 2009, 07:53 AM QUOTE (Rooskidiver @ Mar 26 2009, 04:09 AM) Okay I have to ask. What exactly is this mask function? Is it something in PTE or Photoshop or another program... In PTE v.5.6 you can use objects of type "Mask container". Inside such containers you can place real images and masks (black/white images) which control the opacity of the real images (similar to layer masks in PS). Masks and images can be animated independently. Best regards, Xaver Munich Posted by: JPD Mar 26 2009, 10:59 AM Thanks Ray for your comment, I am happy you enjoyed it.

I can't imagine how you managed to design such complex animation. Congratulation, Frank P.S.: I have tried your Excel for redimensioning. Thanks for that tool, it solves my problem with TV safezone.

Please use the upload link listed below when you are ready to proceed. Looking forward to your creations !! Regards, Bill Posted by: JPD Mar 28 2009, 03:41 AM Thanks Frank, the most difficult wasn't the animation, but first find the paints which have a relation with the text of the song and make all the layers of the picture. As I explained I am making a tool which make animations easy. Posted by: Ron2 Mar 28 2009, 12:22 PM QUOTE (cottage @ Mar 27 2009, 11:15 PM) Ron2.

Regards, Bill Many thanks I will be taking up your offer soon, but don't expect any thing great, I am still a newbie a this and I just want to put some friends artwork projects into a show occasionally. I find converting to avi or mp4 has a great loss in quality. In fact with mp4 I only get the music - no images at all.

You may open a new discussion in the AVI/DVD/VideoBuilder forum.

I quite agree. Thanks for these 8 posts (this one include) which have nothing to do here. Posted by: JPD Apr 3 2009, 12:13 PM Some people told me they have problem with there PC, I have put a mp4 version http://diapositif.net/Video/Penser_avec_son_pinceau_V6.zip It's not a hight definition but it's enought good for a size of file near it would be on Youtube or Vimeo (but better than on them) ken

how are you putting them on tv? ken

IN MY SIGNATURE there are urls for the current help manuals that are available for download -- one written by Jeff Evans and Lin Evans and one written by wnsoft staff they are both pdf files - quite large to print but they have screenshots etc they are not up to date but for somebody starting out there is a wealth of info in them ken

well for one thing the this beta is different than 5.6 and no Igor did not omit "Is this something that Igor just did not attend to yet?" but, i have even made the mistake of opening with a new version,saving the pte with a new version and then trying to open the show with a 4~ version and getting the message "Cannot open this file. This file is damaged, or it was created with newer version of PTE (maybe v1.00 - 1.60)" and numerous other people have done the same thing as i said in my first post use the search of the forum ken

thks dom Gary write/save this step by step thread for future reference -- also "Ken...That's the problem. When I saved the slideshow in 5.7, I saved it over the file made with 5.6. So now 5.6 will not open the slideshow. I never saw any warning that 5.7 would corrupt the file so it would not work in earlier versions." always "save as" the pte with a different name messing withe the pte if you dont know what you are doing is like messing with computer registry when you do not save it with a date so you can reuse it if necessary ken

open the 5.6 program open the original pte with 5.6 - not the pte made with 5.7 this has been covered many times since ver 5 was issued -- use the search function of forum ken

to put it bluntly -- it aint apples and apples - it is apples and oranges the show is going to look better on your monitor because it is made differently than the tv unless you have the latest state of the art high defintion tv connected to your computer via hdmi, vga or svhs cabling and then it becomes a diffent situation -- on my setup, svhs connected to a ws hd tv, the monitor is still better but not by much - you have to look close and know what to look for to see the difference for more info on subject see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_Graphics_Adapter ken

thks Ian this should help Barry ken

Barry back in win 3.1 days i had a question for epson re my laser b/w printer -- the guy i was talking to wanted to know why i kept my printer on all the time -- it took +- 2 mins to warm up from a cold start - i told him i when i wanted to print i wanted it then so maybe you got the same guy as me ken
