I have been using Win 10 quite a while and am only happy with the choice. Initially there was an issue or so, but those have faded or been fixed. No problems with PTE. I decided not to upgrade my Dad who is 82, because He doesn't do those kinds of changes well. Then recently, I changed my mind and did anyway. He adapted without a hitch and likes it much better.

Yes, thanks, Barry.

So good to have you back on the trail and running hard.

I think they are not quite ready, but will be available in a few more days.

Dom, you have a great idea, amazing talent and I am sure everyone here looks forward to your fine work. You have always been extraordinarily generous and creating commercial packs for a reasonable price will be a service to many of us as well as a learning tool. Commercially produced styles will no doubt result in high quality products and effectively broaden the appeal of PTE. I have often thought of doing the same, and may, but not now as life is too full of other things. One thought would be regarding copyrighting commercial styles--which I hope would not happen.

We do some marriage counseling. Some time back a couple came to us with divorce papers in hand--they had picked up the papers that very day, Before they left our meeting, they ripped up the papers. Another divorced couple a while back came and eventually reconciled and remarried. Keep hope. The images are touching. A lovely couple.

We could mark points on the timeline where we want images printed.

I would find this very useful as a guidebook to presentations or to use as a handout.

Nicely done and love the photos. Thanks.

I know much of that country and love it. Most of all I love the people. Yet it is a troubled land. Thanks for sharing.

Actually I don't think step 2 matters. You can ignore it. I am sorry it isn't working for you. That would be frustrating. I could only make guesses, but maybe clear your browser cache/cookies.

You can stream from Dropbox and do not have to download. Test like this: Copy a link to an MP4 Open an incognito window or another browser that isn't logged in to DB Paste the link Wait a moment for a window to load--voila! It will stream!

I have had youtube block the music completely. More than just a warning. To their credit, they magnanimously offer their own music as replacement. Youtube has its perks, but I don't need those and it too many negatives. Dropbox meets my needs.

I don't know much about hotrods. They scare me, but I do like to go fast. Nice photos! Good job.

You are amazing! Thanks.

It's working. Thanks. I also DL the action, but haven't had time to play with it. Still, you must be a lot of work to arrange all those objects...do you have a project you can share?

For some styles I create variations by type. For example in a group I made yesterday I created similar but unique styles for Landscape, Portrait and Square images. Those single slide styles can be applied to many slides simultaneously. In a case like yours where you want variation among slides, I have done something similar by making groupings of styles, and then combining the groupings. So, I have a grouping of 4 slides (each slide different) and another set with different variations yet. You can mix and match these groups of styles and save them as new monster-sized styles. I think my biggest set is for 64 slides! Most are a maximum of 16, but if you are careful, you can apply that 16 to any multiple of 16 and get great results. You can apply such a style to any random number of slides, but may have some post clean up work to do, like removing extra blanks or cleaning up the last transition if it is complex. I hope this makes sense. It serves me well. In your case you might make something like 4 different sets of 5 unique slides. That would be 20 variations. Then you could apply those 4 styles to 100 slides and save the whole thing as a a 100 slide style. I would suggest keeping it smaller for future versatility, like a maximum 20 slides. Then apply that 20 slide style to your 100. Let me add this for free: Sometimes when I use a style that includes a blurred background, the background isn't positioned ideally, so I look carefully at each slide and adjust it as necessary to look best. Just something to think about. I have found this mix and match and choose method works well for certain kinds of shows like engagements, weddings, anniversaries, or history presentations. You can create a very impressive, complex slideshow, that is also completely customizable in very short time.

I will be in Brisbane area in a few months (no date set), but that is a looong way from Perth. I dream of going there sometime--I have never yet been to Australia, only as close as Bali--where lots of Australians go. I don't really have a "home" because I am traveling so much of the time, so don't know where to put my dot on a map. But I get almost anywhere sometime or another. That probably doesn't help much. Jeff, I would LOVE to stop by NM to visit you, but not likely this summer. I will be in the US for a couple months, but likely will only be flying east coast to west to Alaska this time. Only driving a few midwestern and NW states.

Thank you Ronnie. Good to hear from you.

My thoughts: If you use the software for business, by all means upgrade now. Some users may just use the software as a hobby, or be on low income. But if you use it for business, good grief. Just upgrade. You know your financial situation, but investing the price of a PTE upgrade in a product that makes you a profit makes business sense to me. On the other hand, if what you are using is meeting your client's needs for now, then wait.

I think it is ALWAYS on sale. The bang you get for you buck is vastly greater than anything approaching equivalent out there. I don't think anything else out there really is equivalent at any price.

Nicely done. And the music is breathtaking.

I could comment on "Pals" but not on "strange things." Wish I could!

My continued thanks!
