Hi, Barry, A classy video that uses some of PTE's fine features (and your great photography) to promote this wonderful groduct. Very well done! David

Hello, all, I can imagine your frustrations as you are forced to deal with erratic false positives from your anti-virus software. There have been no such issues for me using MS Security Essentials and Windows 7. This is a free alternative to AVG. Good luck, David

Hi, Tillman, Congratulations on your captivating Provence show, with its appealing graphic and musical themes. Django and Stephane are great market accompaniment, and the Delibes is perfect against the kaleidoscopic lavender. Your character shots evoke comparisons to Cartier-Bresson. The illuminated waterfronts seem to be extracted from Sète. The refreshingly varied picture shapes pleasantly mimic those of an actual gallery. I once bicycled for two weeks through this picturesque region, and your presentation motivates me to return soon. I agree with Ken; manual show control is great! Thanks so much, David

Hi, Lin, Your long experience in fine art photography animates this artist's work. She found the right person for the job! Good material to demo this software, too. David

Hi, Lin, World-class images. Wow! Your fan, David

Hi, Lin, Thanks for pointing me to this link. Beautiful light on the wolf and super fluid animation. Congratulations! Just as you are, I'm anticipating the possibilities with the new video capability. David

Thanks for the reply, Lin! The eagle is the smoothest animated GIF that I've seen. Of course, I don't get out much. It's a great effect, and the animation beautifully fits your scenic view. Well done! Yes, the prospect of new movie equipment with advanced features such as 3D is tittilating. Bring it onl I've long been a 3D fan and have accumulated much stereo equipment over the years. I count on you to be poised on the cutting edge of PTE exploitation and ably to share your creativity. Keep up the good work! David

Wow, Lin! How'd you make that eagle fly? Your fan, David

Hi, Davy, Wow, you selected exceptional images for your macro show, and beyond that, the PTE graphics are quite appealling! Congratulations. David White

Hi again, George, You are still learning, and I hope that I am, too. :>)) Please keep the good slideshows coming!. Yes, our family lived in Las Cruces and Hatch from 1949 to 1959. Attended Mesilla Park Elementary School. I get really lonesome for that country and big, Sonora-style enchiladas (stacks of tortillas and sauce topped with a fried egg) from La Posta restaurant in Mesilla. Are you an El Paso native? Enjoyed your web site. David

Hi, George, As one who grew up in the Mesilla Valley, I was happy to see some familiar sights from Old Mesilla, well worth the download time to me. I remember geese weeding those pecan orchards in the 1950's, a novel occurrence then. You could pare down the pixels of those panoramas to 1920 in the long dimension, and that would be the largest that anyone would need to view them at optimum resolution in this show. On the other hand, if you were actually performing full-screen pans, then your present pixel dimensions would serve well. Anyway, thanks for the tour down memory lane. David White

Dear Jean-Cyprien, I love the 3-D view through the framework to the bells. You are a genuine smart guy. Beautiful work! Your Nipomo friend, David White

Igor, Also working for me in California at 8:18 AM. David

Hi again, Jean, Your "Sydney Convict Monument" animation places you among the first of those here on the PTE forum (JPD, Lin Evans, TheDom, and perhaps others whom I have missed) to demonstrate practical applications for PTE's new features. You are in fine company! I appreciate your links to those excellent demos. Best wishes and thank you, David White

Hi, Jean, It's amazing to think that 3D transformation in PTE will synchronize rotation of the six wall faces, their edges, and the cylindrical pedestal. This encourages me to begin experimenting. Thank you! David White

Hi, Lin, Your crisp, Sigma f16 images of the Mount Evans critters should be seen by photographers who avoid shooting at apertures smaller than f8 because of diffraction with cropped-frame DSLR's. Congratulations on staying sufficiently fit to lug around your photo gear at those altitudes. Yes, it's great to trip the shutter without rationing film, and I'm not nostalgic about the smell of photo chemicals either. Speaking of nostalgia, I enjoyed the historical and contemporary images atop Mount Evans that you posted in another thread. Best wishes, David White

Hello, Jean, Your 3D transformation of the convict monument impressed me with its ingenuity. As the monument turned against its background, I found myself counting the objects and imagining how each one was distorted to fit precisely into a convincing illusion. I repeated the last scene many times. Now, I can't get that sad galley song out of my mind. :>)) Best regards, David White

Hi, Dom, Thanks for making available the "On Vacation" template. The mood of it is informal and spontaneous. Your photographic and animation skills are admirable, and you are quick to utilize new developments in PTE. David White

Hi, Lin, Congratulations on your vibrant Mt. Evans show, the combination of flowers, animals, and rocks. The yellow-flower background in the kid photos is magical. The adaptive pika camouflage is perfect against textures and colors of its habitat. I also appreciate your judicious animation, from the opening scene transformation, to the long, vertical pan of the weathered tree. Judging by the depth of field, the kids must have allowed you to approach them closely. I once backpacked into the Olympics and camped at Lake Angeles. When I arrived in late afternoon, the mountain goats were nimbly navigating the cliffs opposite the lake. That night, to my delight, they were prowling just outside my tent. They remained in camp through much of the next morning, when I enthusiastically, but imprudently, exposed all of my film, leaving none for the rest of my hike. Thanks for shivering through the shots and sharing with the less hardy. :>)) Best wishes, David White

Hi, Ken, I agree! Bob's mechanical aptitude is high. He is a retired shop teacher with a workshop full of sophisticated tools. So it's not surprising that he immediately perceived the potential of PTE and virtual machines. David

Hello, PTE forum members, I’m happy to announce that my friend, Bob Schafer, has posted a new show on Beechbrook. The title is “Construction Animation.” It depicts construction of a new house next door to him. I admire and recommend his clever animations of workers and machinery. David White

Hi, Dom, Congratulations to you, Jean-Luc, and Caspal for your inspirational lighting, composition, and color. Your fan, David

Hi, Dom, You are a wizard! Congratulations, David

Hi, Dom, You are welcome, but I'm sad that you must rebuild so much of the "page curl" effect. I am anticipating, as are your many other fans on this forum, the unveiling of your completed illusion. Best wishes, David

Hi, Dom, Here is a screen capture of your "page curl" effect. The blue line follows the contact of the upper page with the lower page. For a more natural look, this contact should be straight, rather than curved. Best wishes, David
