Hi All, I have use 4.8 for a long time and now have started to use 5.1. I use P2E to make manual slide shows so that I can talk to the audience and then advance the slide when I'm ready. I only use Fade as a transition, in v4.8 the slides faded ok to next slide, and also ok if I went to previous slide. Now with v5.1 the fade to next slide is ok, but if I go to previous slide I only get an instant change. Can anyone help please. Alan

Thanks Ken and Roger for the kind words, Roger, I have done the show with fewer transition types, but when I showed them both at our camera club they all prefered the multi transition one? I think I agree with you though - simple is best Alan

Nice show Barry, However, the mouse arrow does not hide during show , then I though there must be a need for it to be visable, yes there it is right at the end a button to a link, "Take me to .....", but the link is not working. Thought you'd like to know to be able to correct it? Alan

Hi Roger, Greetings from Kent. Thanks for making your little action available, very usful. Alan

Larry, You could also try Granots wonderful "Multishow" tool: Made by Granot. Copyright © Granot Contact: boxig@zahav.net.il More Free and Shareware programs: http://www.thailandphotoalbum.com This allows show to be presented in the sequence of your choice. Alan

Sorry Guido, That's just what I meant, and I hadnot read your post. Sorry again Cheers Alan

Igor, Thanks for asking for suggestions. Would it be possible to have two time lines so that we could truly emulate two projector systems? ALan

Thanks Mike and Chris, I'm not sure of the programme slot yet, but if I remember I'll give you some feed back on how it went over. ALan

Well Done Mike & Chris! Glad you both got your distinctions. Your show is great and has inspired me to try for my CPAGB. Is it ok if I project you show to our club (Ashford Quest Photographic Society)? Alan

jwebre, Don't knock the support for this program, they are very helpful and like others have told you they will respond. Where else can you get a superb presentation product like pictures2exe, where the development team actually ask the customers what they want to see in the next version? You wouldn't get that service from M$. Alan

Thanks Granot, I'll wait v2 with interest. Thanks for listening to all our suggestions, and of course reacting so fast! Alan

Hi Granot, I really like your utility Multishow, many thanks for your work. A suggestion though, since some CD drives are a bit slow at loading the exe files would it be possible to have ablank or logo screen exhibited whilst the next show loads? This would look so much better than reverting to the window desk top. Best ragards Alan

Well Done igor & the team, this is the best! Thank You Alan

Igor, I too get the "wink" when show fades to desk top, this is in review and EXE mode. Alan

Hi Yes I get a little blip when I fade to main screen, I think it's just windows closing the P2E executable. Win XP 1400 processor. Alan

Igor, I like the new buttons for T V F, but i noticed there is no mouse over tags for these? Alan

A wonderful and moving presentation, 'least we forget' Alan

Hi Pete, If it's any help to you: I resize the image to 1000x667 pixels in photoshop elements, then save as jpg quality 6, this seems a good compromise between file size and image quality. I arrived at quality 6 by taking the same image and saving it at all the jpg compressions available i.e. 12 through 1, 12 being the best and of course highest file size. I projected these in sequence starting with the lowest resolution until I got to the point where there was now increase in visable quality, that was jpg 6. Hope that gives you some ideas. Alan

Thanks for letting us see you tribute. Make me think how the youth of today would have coped with ww2. Alan

Very smooooth. I Like it. Thank you Alan

Hi Larry T, I just downloaded a new version of TMPGEnc and all is well!! I've use Nero to burn the MPEG2 and it look pretty good, not as good as the monitor view of P2E, but as they say " that's television ". Thanks Alan

Thanks LumlenLux, it works now! Still abit of a problem with tmpgen though, I got my version from an alternate site, so will try a version direct from tmpgenc.net. Alan

Thanks for that idea LumenLux, I'll try updating media player now. However TMPGEnc still will not recognise the avi files. Alan
