Thanks, Peter, but that is exactly what I was doing. It works fine for all images, whether portrait or landscape, as long as I've not used the 'objects and animation' button. That button is used either for a slow zoom into the image or to add text that fades in on top of an image. In both cases the whole image remains at 100%.

Sorry guys, I need to resurrect this thread.
I've just put together another sequence. As before, it is fine on computer screen but gets clipped all round on DVD player. If I set the 'percentage of slide to show' to about 90% it is fine on the DVD.
EXCEPT this percentage only seems to be applied to static images. Any images where I have used animation remain at 100%. Anyone have any idea how to get around that?
Supplementary question. There is a facility in P2E to set the background colour and even a drop shadow. How does one show an image smaller than full screen against a background. Is it simply by using the percentage or is there another way?
Thanks for any clues,

Barry, Lin,
Thanks from me, too. Works a treat.

I would like to apply exactly the same animation (pan and zoom) to a whole series of images. Ideally I would set up the animation on the first image and then copy and paste it into the others but I can't find a way of doing this. Any ideas?

Sorry for recent silence - been away for a few days.
Yes, reducing the sizing to 90-odd percent looks the easiest way to go and I'll try it next time. Unfortunately I'd been through and added spaces before I read these useful replies.
I had tried increasing the offset but that moves the comment up the screen as well as left (from its bottom right position) and I didn't need or want that.
Many thanks,

Thanks for that, Ralph. It's the 'TV safe zone' that is the problem. I hadn't realised that Tvs do not show the whole image. However, my TV shows much more than the safe zone indicated on P2E - I only lose about one third as much.
Unfortunately that third includes part of the comment, which I have set for the bottom right corner. I'll just have to go through the whole show and pad out the comments with a few extra spaces.
David.

I have the same problem. Everything appears fine on the PC but the DVD seems to be cropped by 3-4% all round (e.g. comments in the bottom right corner lose their final two letters)
Images are all oversized, typically 2048x1536, so that I can zoom in without pixelation.

I've just gone through 600 pictures and captioned them all in Photoshop Album. The captions are all embedded in the EXIF data. Any idea how I can get PTE to use these captions as comments, without having to re-type it all?

Sorry I didn't make myself clear at first but Jean has it right. Thanks (but no thanks ) for telling me I can't do it.
Presumably adding an overlay, as Peter suggests, would simply mask off the edges of every image, which is what I don't want. I have seen P2E shows that show every image effectively in a 'window' against a coloured background. Since P2E allows one to specify the background colour I'd rather hoped that there was a way of specifying the size of that 'window' for a complete show.
