Thanks for the comments AL, appreciated Ron Sorry about the slow down load times, looks like everyone’s downloading off my site at the moment, which is giving my server a bit of a bending, and although Blueyonder offer 2mg down load, the upload speed is only 256kb Dave

The Hamlet of Purton sits next to the Sharpness Canal and (river) Severn in Gloucestershire UK. The Severn had started to erode the banks of the Sharpness Canal, so in 1960 about 88 boats were beached on a high spring tide. There are a number of boats from Concrete Lighters, to Wooden Trows, some of which are over 100 years old, which in its self is a testament to long dead shipbuilders. The only monument to the lives of these shipbuilders are these remains. Like most monuments to people’s lives, we have a habit of vandalising them, just like we allow our cemeteries to get vandalised too. Purton is my way of saying; let the boats, along with the shipbuilders rest in peace All images taken on an EOS10D, I wanted grey stark images so I converted to Black and White in Photoshop using the blue channel, to give a slight infrared look, then curves to lift the contrast. Your comments would be most welcome

Right, in Audacity go to project>import Audio and that works fine, thanks folks. Will have a look at Adobe Audition later

A friend of mine has lost some of his sound files that they used to make a couple of PTE presentations. I was able to open the PTE file in Adobe Audition as a raw file, and separate out the sound track and save it as an MP3 file. Since I did this, I have gave my computer its spring clean, formatted the hard drive and reinstalled windows and all other programmes. I had a go at retrieving another of my friend’s sound files yesterday, but was unable to repeat extracting the sound file. I think it may be because some old video codec’s have been deleted Does anyone know an answer to this?

Thanks you all for all your suggestions and offers of help; I think the problem is with the server that I built from an old computer to host my web site, which has a firewall built in to the SME server software. I need to catch up with the documentation, as I’m a builder not a computer techy so I need to find out how to transfer files. It looks like it only stops zip files, (will check if it stops only the ones with EXE files in) as I have done a test with a picture, and that worked ok I have put a couple of shows on the website to download, so please let me know what you think of the shows and the site. www.morturn.dyndns.org Thanks again

Hi Brian thanks for the responce, have tryed that now but still the same

Have been trying to upload a slide show to Beechbrook Cottage, I set everything up to upload, click once, and get a page not found error. I think it may be something to do with Norton SystemWorks Premier 2005, as it was OK before I installed it. Any suggestions please?

Hi Barry I think you are going to have to redo it a third time m8, you’ve missed the a this time. Saying that, it doesn’t distract from the super quality of the show………nice one………again.

I enjoyed this slide show, definatly one to keep

Hi, Not long registered to this forum, so would like to say a big hello to everyone I have only done about ½ dozen PTE slide shows so far, but I do enjoy making and viewing them. I have recently uploaded two of my shows, The Malvern Hills, which was the first PTE I did, and then Ironbridge Museum. I would welcome your thoughts or comments on either of these shows, so hopefully I can improve. Regards Dave Moore

Thanks Bill

Bill I have been interested in PTE for about a year, and I have to say mainly because of both yours and Karen’s kindness, in running a free site, that must clearly take up a lot of your time. For doing this I thank you, and hope that the efforts of a small minded, inadequate individual, whose contribution is nothing, other then to cower anonymously behind a computer console, does not win the day. Whatever decision you both come to, I will wish you well
