This forum is my "discovery of the day"! I am very new to PTE and struggling. My "ancestry" is also A-V or slide sequences, I have used the Royale for over twenty years and produced numerous shows. There are lots of A-V groups around, not all are related to camera clubs, some are Royal Photographic Society groups, others are regionally based. In Bath we get attendances of 40-50 people for a full day session and its all good fun. In fact my only reason for moving over to digital sequences is that I can no longer lift the Royale...its a heavy beast for an elderly lady! So I am on a new learning curve and struggling a bit. I would like my pictures to fade gently into one another, the transition is jerky and meaningless at present. I know That the magical and elusive "third image" which appears when two suitably chosen slides merge on screen, is not possible with a computer generated show. However what I find most irritating about the PTE programme is that I can only view my pics sequentially. With slides I have a big light-box and can view 200 slides at a time and select the one I want to appear next. With PTE it seems as though I have to remember what each of the 200 is called and what it looks like. Is there something I am missing? Can I put loads of pics, tile-fashion on my screen and shuffle them about? Do I need a different programme to do this? Or shall I just go back to Slide sequences and hire me a porter?? Shirley
