www.wnsoft.com link does not work properly on http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index....php?act=SC&c=2 -- it does not take one to http://www.wnsoft.com/main.htm which it should if Igor is getting primed to start ver 3.9 and also new people will be able to find the download spot of the current 3.8 ken

Igor, when will start issuing 3.9 beta's ken

Tell the rest of the forum -- it will the start of another category "HOW TO" ken

see http://208.56.82.71/ Lin Evans Digital Photography Samples i would like to have a look at his keepers if these are any indication of his digital samples I think the other day he commented in the forum that he had 25 +- digital cameras. i see love and patience in every shot and i dont hear him worrying about encryption etc ken

Some of you photographers seem to forget that an upset customer is one that will not recommend your services to other people. If you maintain a strict policy where you get 60% of your money up front no matter how big the package -- give them a set of 5x5 proofs in an album and then get the order for the rest. If you get a fairly decent order make up an album in p2e and give them 3-4 copies as good will.Don't give them the p2e to study beforehand. If they request more or they may want some changes in the layout of the p2e then charge them. The last thing you need is the cusomer wagging your tail if you cant see some finacial return. I am speaking from experience -- have married off 3 daughters -- 2 of them i arranged a fellow photographer to do the pictures - he supplied me with the proof album and the 2 1/4 negs - I printed the final - free to direct family - charged to in laws and their friends - the 3rd wedding was out of town and they hired the photographer -- they were lucky to have the money for the proofs -- they had no money for a whole bunch of 8x10's at $30 a pop. We were the only buyers of reprints If you are going to worry about somebody copying your work you are in the wrong business -- concentrate on doing quality work and building a reputation of giving value, you can't spare the time trying to protect your precious pictures. Artists would never put their brush to the palette if they were wondering if somebody was going to copy their masterpiece. I have seen so many beautiful pictures on the net - Han's Slau"s, Fretwell's, Ian's, Rob Wall's or Bussty's to name a few -- shots that other guys dream about - I look at them and say to myself "when i was there all it did was rain" or "why weren't those clouds that way when i took the picture" or i might say " if conditions are right and i go back i bet i can get the same results" now is the original photographer going to be ticked off when he sees my picture -- i doubt it ken

we get many requests for a free graphics program many members use Irfanview - see http://irfanview.tuwien.ac.at/ always update your Irfanview plugins when you update the program

if we had a category for free stuff and then sub topics -- the old one was 6+ pages and had no divisions/categories but till then members should shove it in this thread so for a test lets make an example i will repost and you can see what if i am making sense but there is no way to make a subtitle ken

I will post my DVD message here for starters just an fyi, i just purchased a Toshiba model SD2815 5 disc changer that will read jpegs. am still playing - tis not the same as p2e but will show them -- no sound etc ken so far am having probs playing a cd-rw and mp3's and jpgs can be mixed but not in folders

THIS A START am going to put Truelight's entry in here for starters Gotta love good free programs! I think these two are quite good in that they are simple, without bloat, get the job done, and best of all - Free! PhotoPrint CD Jacket and PhotoPrint Calendar http://www.bento.ad.jp/freeware/english/index.html Enjoy!! ken

Agree ********** 10 stars i think that is what Casey was working towards we have been thru a very big year Igor had to get a new host Igor made numerous upgrades to the program the other forum was getting way out of hand let us stop the snowball now before it gets too big and we end up with a hodgepoge forum again my 2 cents Canadian -- granted it aint worth much on the world market, but the best we can do an example of a forum with the sort of things we need can be seen at http://www.windowsbbs.com/ it will show the last active posts in each category etc I imagine Invision would modify for our needs -- 'tis up to Igor to ask -- but if Igor and co are busy sorting out the layout and trying to institute getting all the old posts up to this forum something has to suffer -- and that will be revising/updating 3.8 will have to go on hold you cant have your cake and eat it too so people what's it gonna be ????????? voice your comments so that Igor can see which direction to go -- BUT dont start another thread keep it in this one ken

just an fyi, i just purchased a Toshiba model SD2815 5 disc changer that will read jpegs. am still playing - tis not the same as p2e but will show them -- no sound etc ken

Igor said he plans on restoring the old stuff once he gets squared away ken

Harry is a longtime member and in the past we in the forum have helped a lot of members with problems that are not related to P2E. Last time we helped Harry we tried to spec a laptop for him, so that eventually he could display his productions to potential customers ken

Guido, put on your rose tinted glasses ken

A 25 meg file + the p2e overhead [which is minimal] would only take +- 1 min to burn with a 32 x burner if your picts were ok before the burn they will be the same quality after the burn i just burned a copy of a cd with 14 tunes on it -- not mp3's in approx +- 8 mins with my 32x burner are you trying to figure out how p2e does it -- well Igor's holds the secret are you suprised it works so well -- good if you have a problem, you are going to have to give us more details in an orderly manner so the experts on the forum have half a chance of helping you ken

this is James "Slugman" O'Reardon's fav site http://www.vividlight.com/ especially moose peterson's section http://www.vividlight.com/articles/2103.htm the info and picts at this whole site is enough to make me cash in some investments and start taking picts again ken

yeh they can burn as many as they like - dont think there has a simple copy protection plan invented yet -- just deal with honest people and you wont have to worry the only thing you could do is click off the expire box after x# days -- but you could upset your customer and end up selling them nothing ken

also try copying the exe to the 98/ME machine's desktop and try running from there ken

if you are emailing a how to plse add me to list -- one never knows when it might save the day thks ken [email protected]

let's hope all our problems will be behind us ken

Bothell, one of the problems that stop reg keys getting to people is they have their security settings set too hi or imroper --this is a known problem with OE. Norton type antivirus programs will also block the key -- the key has a .reg extension and this one of the extensions that OE and the "norton's" block. ken

As the saying goes locks only keep out honest people and when there is a will, there is a way when Igor gets the archives up do a search for copying pictures -- this question should be one of the subtitles Igor!!!! Charge a reasonable fee and deal with honest people -- you will save yourself lot of worry. ken
