I have an old Minolta SLR camera, that I haven't used since my first digital about 6 or 8 years ago. I now have a (bridge) Konica/Minolta Dimage Z6 with 6 MP, and have been very satisfied with it. One of the reasons I bought this camera was, it uses AA batteries that I can buy anywhere in the world. I don't like the idea of proprietary batteries, and I have a dozen rechargable AA's and my charger. The pro's, I'm sure have much different ideas, but this is my humble opinion. Thanks for all the help from the forum, Gayland.

Peter, what a fantastic show, thanks for sharing. Best regards, Gayland.

Ron, thanks for all you do for the forum. I have v5 installed, but I use the old 4.8, I just haven't grasped all the stuff in v.5. Thanks again,robertg

Thanks to Ronniebootwest, for the tutorial on his method of introducing his slideshows. I needed to be led, by the hand, to understand how to do this. I'll be waiting for part 2. Thanks Ron, Gayland (robertg)

Ray, consider yourself lucky, before you had a heart attack. I worked for over forty years, for a major air conditioning company. I built prototype models that the clueless idiots put unrealistic timetables on. When I reached my earliest retirement age, I was gone. It has been five years and I coulden't be happier. Stay happy, robertg

Lin, I'm sorry to hear about your eyesight problem. Get well soon...!!! Best wishes,robertg

Thanks, for sharing your beautiful show JPD, if only I could do half as well. Happy holidays to you and yours, robertg.

Prashant, thanks for sharing your beautiful photos, robertg

Thanks Ken, for your help, robertg

................................................................................................................... OK Lin, I may have to break a long standing rule, and try v5 beta. I assume I can have both versions installed. Thank you and everyone for taking the time to help me, robertg.

.......................................................................................................................................... Hi Lin, Thanks for the response. I'm using v4.48, I never put anything with beta in the name(except Windows, which we know is always in beta) on my computers. The method I am asking about is similar to your and Doms show, Theater 2- Birds Large and Small. The theater stage opening would be the frame, and the slideshow would transition inside the frame. Please see attachment for exactly what I'm striving to accomplish. Thanks for the help, robertg

Ken, thanks for the response I appreciate the help, robertg.

Hi everyone, I would like to know how to add the background, in PTE slideshows. These have cutouts and frames where the actual photos are transitioned. (Example is Monicle show by Igor.) I have been using PTE, for several years, for family photos, using the same gradiants and transitions. I do have and use Photoshop CS to modify and improve my photos, but I don't have a clue how to get any backgrounds, I create into PTE shows. I know this is elementary stuff to most of you, but you had to start somewhere. Your help pointing me in the right direction to tutorials etc would be appreciated. Thanks,robertg
