Hi Lin,

Most normal people wouldn't try such a thing, but I need protected! Maybe just a little error trapping. Then again, no one may discover it again for 30 years.
Actually I discovered the problem by adding a texture as a style to a blank slide and then wanting to modify it. I am not normal, but that is something a "normal" person might do.
Hi, it did not take 30 years .. today I managed to crash PTE after dissecting DG " strips no mask " style then trying to produce different style. Searching the forum for this error brought me to this old thread, I taken it's not dummy proof yet.
I'm not normal either!!

Hi Lin, I think I got it .. it was aha moment!! also it will not work for irregular shapes unless there is other syntax I'm not aware of. I'll have to use masks then ..

Lin, thanks for the style ..
I am trying to figure out you guys are doing this by dissect this but no luck, it would be very helpful can do a little tutorial of the strips basic.
I'm thinking of a project that require irregular shapes ..

Thanks in advance

Laszlo,
Bottom right of the Illustration:
Click on the First Object and Shift+Click on the last
Ctrl + Click to select non-contiguous Objects.
Is that what you mean?
DG
I was wondering why PTE does not have click and drag to select objects in this panel? a basic window function to select more than one item.
It would be helpful to have the ability to turn objects visibility to on-and-off similar to Photoshop layer eye icon, in PTE you have to turn the opacity to " 0 " to turn the object on-and-off.

Sami

Lin, very good and helpful visual tool ..
I'm also interested in learning the why and when you use certain object like "masks", "frames" and hidden shortcut not in the document. Maybe in the form of tidbits ...
I just discovered in O&A adding the shift key control the Y and X rotation.
best regards

Lin, if I understand it right it is better to use JPEG as a mask in the mask not necessarily pure black and white. I'll try to create some with different degrees of tone/color to see how it affect the image.
thanks again for your help
Sami
-
Thanks Lin for explaining both .. I'll have to play little with both methods and see what I can come up with.
If I understand masking in PTE it can be JPEG or PNG white reveal and black conceal, what about halftone or transparency. Obviously can't have transparency with JPEG

I'm interested in exploring cinemagraph & parallax effect in PTE!! Thanks

thank you Lin .. this was helpful. Sami

Igor I sent support request for my old license to upgrade to v8 then v9, I'm a bit infused between your first and last post? please explain ..
-
Wow, maybe I should skip V9 and wait for V10!!
-
Thanks for the update .. looking forward for the beta release soon. I'm sure it's almost like the process of giving birth, the sooner you deliver the sooner you'll have less pain fixing bugs.

I think that the biggest frustration with all of this is in Wnsoft suggesting a possible release time and then it not happening for whatever reason. People then begin to say "well you suggested this date and it hasn't happened. What is going on?".
In major changes to a piece of software, as is happening on this particular occasion, the unexpected sometimes happens, or a change proves to be more problematic than was envisaged, so delays inevitably occur. We should all just accept that and wait.
The mistake was in Wnsoft suggesting a date in the first place. I feel that no such annoucements should be made at all, then when a new version is released it is both a surprise and a bonus.

Partly agree with you .. some software companies will push the software and then released new update within 15 days, it leaves a bad taste in the user mouth. Corel Painter did this before they released painter 2016, it give the impression that they were not honest. I have seen it done by other software companies also ..
-
Lin, I believe you I came to this conclusion about three months ago, I almost bought the upgrade but the developer still promising of new release date.
btw for a simple slideshow Photoshop CC is more than capable, I will expect Adobe will add more features and subsequent release. I agree with you Adobe also badly managed their update and drove third-party developers and some users nuts.
Bottom line there is no perfect software!! lol
Regards
Sami

Lin,
Sure, I give you that PTE is easier and has features that might not be in other software, I will have to dissect your great PTE presentation to see if it could be done in aftereffects. First time I saw the animation feature in PTE is a wow that's mimicking after effect I could be wrong and maybe Adobe is mimicking PTE!! ;-)
Yes I am still using version 7 but I downloaded the demo for version 8 and most probably I would have upgraded six months ago if I knew back then it will take six months and counting. That's why I said it makes me doubt if there will be release anytime SOON.
Best regards,
-
Lin, I appreciate your reply ..
You stand correct Photoshop average new release WAS two years, I've been Photoshop user since version 2.5 and upgraded every single time since then. As a professional I need to be up to date with hardware and software thankfully PTE is not a major tool that I must have.
Photoshop CC made this two years an obsolete as you may know, it update often with new features and every six-month or so there is a major update with complete overhaul to the apps.
To be honest with you I have not tried other slideshow software to recommend one in the stead of PTE, I bought long time ago when it was 1.5 MB to download. The Adobe creative cloud CC includes After Effects application which is much powerful than PTE, that's what I recommend ( since you asked ), sure there is a learning curve but if your Photoshop user the transition is much easier.
The original author of this thread was asking the developer to stop this major rewrite to accommodate future release for the Mac. I think the developer is making a mistake by neglecting current users which include Mac User too.
I do not buy the argument for the delay to get the perfect software, there is no such thing it's the nature of the beast, bugs and more bugs .. that's how you find bugs leaving the big kahuna Microsoft. Each
Cutting slack to Winsoft .. I wonder if you're aware of how many times it has been said by the developer beta release will be in December ( last year ), next month, in 15 days etc. makes one doubt if it will ever happen, I'm not making this up!!
Best

I think you are making a mistake. But that is my opinion. PTE is the best, and it is only getting better. I recommend ONLY PTE to anyone who might be interested. And I will do the wise thing, and continue to do so.
I think it's a valid question to ask after two years!!
With all due respect Judy I have to be honest with people who ask what software you used, I tell them PTE but also let them know they should be aware with this upgrade issue. Besides anyone who searched the forum here will find out ..
I don't speak ill of the software, I just tell my experience!!
Thank you

Hello Igor
2 years passed and still no any news about wnsoft masterpiece publishing I wanted to advise you.. .
I think you were trying offer PTE for all operating systems (windows, Macintosh,,... ) in one execution release
So if it's so, it's time to advice YOU, please stop it and offer PTE separated for each OS if this delay is for focus offering PTE in one file for all
Best
bump
I think it's a valid question to ask after two years!! I stopped recommending this software to colleagues just because of these delay and promises of new release date.
Thanks,
