I would like to participate in the testing of the Mac version. I have several Intel Macs; Mac Pro, 16GB RAM, iMac 24 with 4GB RAM, Macbook, 4 GB RAM. All are running the latest version of Snow Leopard. I too miss PTE as I have switched to the Mac completely except for one computer that I use for work. Thanks Rod Cole

Ron, I sent a request for the tutorial. Thanks for preparing it. Rod

TC Thanks for the PS explanation. IOW, PS is simply used to overlay text, frames, etc over the individual layers. One will then combine the desired images by flatening the individual pieces. These images will then be put into PTE. I think I understand how to make the dissolves work the way I envisioned them. I had been experimenting by increasing the effect time to 5000 ms, but the fade-in was so fast that it appeared on the screen at what seemed to be nearly full intensity, thus giving the appearance that the image popped into the previous slide. By lengthening the effect time to 8000 ms, the cross-fade seems to be more like that which I was seeking to achieve. Any recommendations you may have would be appreciated. Thanks again and Merry Christmas! Rod

Help! I also just purchased PTE and have some questions regarding the slide transitions. I downloaded the "Create Slideshow" presentation referenced in this thread and have now watched it three times. I want to have the long, smooth transitions that I am seeing in many of the slideshows I have downloaded, but the ones built into the product still pop and the change is very noticeable despite the fact that I have adjusted the transition time. Will I have to create the transitions in Photoshop for them to work like this or is there some other parameter that I have overlooked? Surely PTE cannot parse through a PSD file, or can it? Unfortunately, although the presentation was very informative and extremely well done, the presentation just left me with many more questions, as it never explained how to use in a presentation the material they presented.
