  2. Trying to Add Additional Images and Drop Shadow

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Guru:

    Understood and very helpful.

    Another question, when adding the new slides by adding new transition points how do those new transition points get named, is this done manually by the user at the time the points are added? I would assume that they would need to be numbered according to the image number in the Slide List so that they are linked.

    Suppose you missed a slide in the middle of the show and you want to add it do you follow the same steps?

    Thanks,

  3. Project Option Not Being Applied

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    nobeefstu:

    Using the PROJECT OPTIONS/SCREEN tab will set ALL your Slides to those settings you select.

    Using my previous comment made of "Customize Slide" button ... allows you to incorporate various color/schemes on per a Slide basis other that default setting you made for ALL.

    This is how I understood that this all worked but it was not working in this manor. Some options that I was applying in the Project Options window were not being applied at all, namely background color and adding a drop shadow in the full screen mode. When I went and began to turn on the Customize Slide button feature for each image after doing the first eight or ten slides all of a sudden the options that I had choosen in the Project Options window were now applied to the entire show, weird.

    Note: When using a Windowed Mode Setting ... and your Images are sized exactly to the WINDOW ... there wont be any background color possible, as there no place to put this color within the WINDOW.Also you dont get "Drop Shadows in Window Mode Settings ... again this a limitation and not a bug/error.

    Understood, I only expected to see drop shadows in the full screen mode.

    It is all working correctly now but for the better part of the day it was acting very strange.

    Thanks,

  5. Project Option Not Being Applied

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I wanted to start this question over on it's own thread, it was getting lost in the other thread.

    I have been trying to change the background color and add a drop show to images in my show but these Project Options are not taking effect. Transitions Effects are working, Full Screen and windowed is working but changing the background color and drop shadows are not being applied when closing the Project Options window.

    It is not working with custom colors or any of the color within the color checker, red, white, blue.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,

  6. Trying to Add Additional Images and Drop Shadow

    Guru:

    You weren't quick enough, I have already deleted the transition points and with the help of adjustor I have gotten things back in order.

    So at what point can you no longer simply add an image to the show by dragging it into the Slide List? Is it once you have hit the 'Create' button?

    Guru, can you please give me the steps for adding additional images?

    Thanks,

  7. Trying to Add Additional Images and Drop Shadow

    Other changes that I make in 'Project Options' are taking effect such as going from Full Screen Mode to Windowed Mode or back, transition effects are working but the changes that I try to make to the background color or adding drop shadows are not working, they are not being applied.

    I still can not add one more image to the end of the show even though it is listed in the Slide List it does not show in the Preview mode or when playing the Custom Synchronization. :)

    Help!

  9. Trying to Add Additional Images and Drop Shadow

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I have created a show wherein I am now trying to add one more image to the end of the show plus change the background color and add a drop shadow and none of the changes are taking effect.

    I can see the last image that I added at the end of the 'Slide List' but it does not appear in the time line of the 'Customize Synchronization' time line. There is plenty of time/space, 11sec, at the end of the show for it to fit into but it is not showing up.

    With the drop shadows and custom background color the changes that I make are not showing up. Am I forgetting something?

  10. New Adjustor update

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Al:

    "Drag and drop" the PTE file (original ".pte", not the ".exe" file)

    How can you tell which file is which, I can not see an extension or either file type? I think I have the correct one because the other will not load/import on a drag and drop.

    When I do this I do not have two different open Excel files, even though there are two in the menu bar at the bottom of the screen, it is apparently just one file.

  13. New Adjustor update

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Al:

    A question regarding the instructoins for importing data into "Adjustor", from notepad:

    Import data from "ptesource.xls" and deposit it in "PTE_time_adjustor.xls":

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Press "Get data" (in column "Q") or use "Control-Shift-G" on the keyboard. This will copy data over from "ptesource.xls" into column "C" (hidden) and also display basic timing data and the names of image files.

    When I press Control-Shift-G, I get this error message: "File error: Check for ptesource.xls." Any suggestions? Does this Contorl-Shift-G automatically import the data into "Adjustor" file?

    Or, can you tell me where I can find this "Get Data" in column "Q", is this a button or is it found in a menu, I'am not finding it.

    Thanks,

  14. Selecting Multiple Image in Time Line

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    However, in the "Adjustor" spreadsheet model, you can do it several ways.    You can also select two or more images, and automatically spread the total time between evenly over the slides in each selection.  

    I have downloaded "Adjustor" but when I try to open a PTE file the VBAProject from within Excel is asks for a password, where do I get this password, any clues?

    Thanks,

  22. A Couple More Glitches

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Although the glitches, hick-ups or repeat frames are gone when playing the slide show on my machine from the HD or a CD, they are present on other peoples machines who are playing the show from a CD even those who are also running XP.

    Any suggestions on what may cause this problem?

    Thanks,

    On the synch time line, see if those problem slides are overlapping. The underside of the time line shows a gray line which represents the transition time for each slide. If those gray lines overlap or even nearly touch, move one of the transition points to give a little room and see if that does it.

    That got it there was just a tiny overlap.

    Thanks again :D
