Den, What you see is the interaction between the blurred image and the background. If you use a white BG you'll get a light edge instead of the dark edge. Maybe there is a gray which will be suitable?? Igor explained that they use a different blur to the blur that you are used to in your image editor. I usually enlarge the image before adding the blur as per your suggestion. DG

Hi Gary, If you add a video to, for instance, Slide 1 which you want to play over multiple slides you have to make it the MASTER in slide 1 and the "slave" in subsequent slides. In PTE terminology this is done by using the dropdown menu and choosing "Link to xxxxx.converted" The timing is automatically adjusted for the slide 2, 3 etc occurances of the Video and the video plays seamlessly over multiple slides. The video can also be animated over the multiple occurances of the Video Clip. The page is still under construction - I just took a lunchbreak!!!/> DG

Thanks for your comments Carmelo. The Online Help can easily be kept up to date in line with small or large changes which WNSOFT makes to the Programme. It can be done immediately and seamlessly. Regarding Translation - that's something to which Igor needs to answer. The illustrations would need to be re-done to match the Italian Text and Programme interface. DG

Igor, It needs to open in a NEW BROWSER WINDOW (please). DG

Gary, It is SLOW here but it is working. Igor asked me a while ago about the speed and it is not as good as it has been in the past. He spoke about a different server? DG

Gary, F1 from PTE V8 will get you there. Bookmark it? Open in a New Browser Window. You can then have it available alongside both V8 and the Forum if you want. DG

It only "bolds" images added via Drag and Drop or via the Menus. If the images are added via O&A it does not Bold them in the File List. Could that be it? DG

Canico, There is no dfference between V7.5 and V8 as far as D & D of images is concerned???? Just tried both - please explain more? However, V7 to V8 is a little bit more of a jump. The Slide View is for D & D of images - the Timeline View is for D & D of Audio Files. Re the "X" and other tools - go to Settings / Preferences / Tools and turn ALL TOOLS ON! Igor - Please note!! The Online Help - F1 - might help? Choose V8 English. DG

New "How To" articles have been added to the "Techniques and How To" section of the Online Help File. http://docs.picturestoexe.com/en/main Please press Ctrl+F5 to reset your Cache every time you visit the Online Help DG

Thanks again Ken. DG

Thanks Ken, The reference there is to using the USB input of a BluRay Player to play MP4 Files. It does not refer to BluRay Discs. DG

Project Options settings can be saved in a Template. If the Template designated as the Template to "use for new projects" has the feature activated then it is remembered when a new project is created. DG

Agreed. DG

New "How To" articles have been added to the "Techniques and How To" section of the Online Help File. http://docs.picturestoexe.com/en/main DG

Just an observation: I don't disagree with Barry's suggestion!! But for those of us who ALWAYS Convert, is it not easier to do the conversion before dragging into the timeline? That way all of the other little tidying up things like Cropping/Trimming/resizing etc can be done in one operation? You don't then have to worry about the Video Converter Window. JMHO. I still agree with Barry's suggestion. DG.

Don't mention it.....my pleasure. The Online Help is being developed to provide information about the nuts and bolts of the software. At the bottom of the menu is a section called "Techniques and How To". Anyone wishing to write an ilustrated, properly constructed How To is welcome to participate in the project. It is on our "To Do" list. DG

This procedure has been documented elsewhere a while ago. Say that, for instance, you want to record a voice over starting at "Slide 15". Start the Mini Player at Slide 12 (ish). Immediately start the Voice Record Function. When Slide 15 appears start the narrative. Stop the Narrative. Trim the Comment in Project Options/Audio Tab or in the Audio Track and add the necessary Envelope etc. DG P.S. The Voice Comment is Linked to the Slide which is current when the STOP button is pressed. This can be UNLINKED via the Right Click Menu and Linked to a different Slide if necessary by moving the Cursor and re-linking.

Searching the Online Help. You can search for partial words: *fade - will find all instances of "fade" and will include "Crossfade" etc Sort* - will find all instances of "Sort" and will include "Sorted" etc You can search for exact phrases by enclosing the phrase in "Quotes". Example - "audio tab" will find all instances of the "Audio Tab" phrase. Including two or more words the search (without quotes) will find all instances of the two or more words. DG

Any Pictures to Exe user can access the Online Help via Main Menu / Help. No Login Required. DG

Hi all, A couple of organizational matters: 1. Because of the "ongoing" nature of the "Work in Progress" please use Ctrl+F5 regularly to update your Cache and make sure that you are viewing the very latest versions of pages. 2. The search facility is a great indication of the viability of the project - please report any "Search Failures"? Words in image examples cannot be searched on and might require keyword additions. Partial words are also a problem so please search on variations of words e.g. sort and sorted. DG

Could I also add to this that doing a SEARCH of the Online Help File for the word SORT will bring up the information that Lin quoted? DG

Thanks Peter, Correction made. DG P.S. They differ slightly - I will ask Jeff to take another look at this.

Thanks Boogie, Corrected. DG

Thanks Tom, A word about the PDF option. In the short term, pages are like to change when corrections and/or additions are made. A "hard copy" will obviously not reflect these changes. DG
