Happy new year Igor, have a great well deserved holiday. Ralph

Just brilliant, keep up the good work. ralph

Im definately with BB on this one, two elements that make a great show plus the fantastic PTE software.

Thank you Igor, Your hard work really is appreciated Ralph.

Gerard, I loved the show, moody,atmospheric,original. I really like monochrome, dont change anything, it is what it is, original and it moves us away for awhile from landscapes etc, etc. Its good to see new shows with different ideas, well done and I for one look forward to seeing more from you. good luck Ralph

Happy new year to you Best wishes Ralph

Hi Ed, sorry forgot to mention that the price and specification do not read well also. ralph

Hi Ed, It was interesting reading your post. Personally I like the freedom of using music I chose. I think by the time you have input your own choices to this software you could easily chose from your own cd library, I for one have an idea anyway of the music I think would suit my sequences, like you say "quality of Bach", I think that the time it takes to put a quality sequence together one needs that quality, the "Icing on the cake" so to speak. But as I have never heard music that this software has generated I cant totally dismiss it, so i look forward to hearing some, if you know where we can listen to some please post a link, it would be great to hear some then I for one would be able to judge better. Below is a description of the sofware. "The software works by analyzing the color content of the video and using an algorithmic process to provide the musical basics. Further manipulation of the output is achieved via an advanced options section where tempo and complexity can be specified, along with compositional methods (melodic or freestyle) and drum types. A time code based timeline is where the real creativity takes place. "Color Marker" and "Tracker" key frames allow the user to change tonality (major or minor), transpose the melody up or down and implement volume and panning of the various tracks. Color Tracking allows the various colors in the video to be used to create things like melodic harmony or for adding emotional effect. The sound library included with Muse consists of nearly 2GB of sound samples from the Garritan library. On completion of the soundtrack, the resulting audio and video can be output as a QuickTime movie. The software will also export the music as an AIFF or WAV file, as well as multi-channel MIDI files for further editing and sweetening in any digital audio workstation." For now ill trawl through my music collection, sometimes its the words and not the music thats the main criteria for choosing a piece, there are many great sequences around that have had lyrics specially written for them, so it would fail in that area, but who am i to judge without having heard what it can produce. Like I said, very interesting and I hope we read more views on this subject, great topic. Ralph

Merry Christmas to you and yours also, Ralph

Im with the converter, it would make things so much easier Ralph.

Hi Peter, I have an unused win 98 disk if you need one, serial number attatched. regards ralph

Hello Lin, As you know from my earlier post re falling snow, I loved it. I have since shown it to a member of our camera club and he also loved it, I am positive that when the club meets again in the new year and I show it to all the members they will also appreciate and enjoy the show. I prefer the second one, I am a bells and whistles kind of guy, especially if the effects are tasteful and not overdone, your "lights efffect" is well done and I applaud the way you apply yourself to this great software. PTE as we all know will be massive and shows like yours encourage people to not only buy the software but also encourage them to go on and be creative themselves, so please keep up the great work. There will be more and more new users of this software, your shows will continue to help in a big way the promotion of it worldwide. Igor has kindly given me permission to promote the software through a site called "picstoexe.co.uk" the site will be up and running late january early february, I will be promoting it through every camera club here in the UK. I will also include a link to your site if thats ok, as I believe as I said earlier, your shows encourage and inspire. So Lin and all other experienced users of PTE, may I ask on behalf of all users new and old, to continue posting these techniques, all of us can continue to learn and be inspired. I have a modern computer and I found no problems whatsover. Ralph

Hi Lin, no worries, I have re written mine (see above) regards Ralph.

Hi Lin, I just love your sequences, I wish we had snow like that over here in England, having said that our country grinds to halt if we have more than a couple of inches LOL, as we are not used to it, the last bad winter was 1962, I was 8 years of age and loved every moment, snow was still on the ground through April, Halcyon days. Back to your sequences Lin, just fantastic, the icing on the cake was the windmill sails. Thanks so much for posting Lin Wishing you and yours a very happy Christmas and new year. ralph. _________________________ Thanks Ralph, This one was fun to work with. Interestingly, snow is "so much more fun" when it's close to Christmas and people have other things to think about other than "cold, wet, clear driveways, etc." LOL... Best regards, Lin

Ken, Thanks so much for the link, 1954 was the year I was born, (what a great year LOL). Great harmonies from the drifters, just loved it, put one big smile on my face, you just cant beat the "older" christmas songs. Merry Christmas to you and yours also. Ralph.

Hi Geoff. just want to say thanks as well for the link, works great. I looked at your website also, you have some excellent shots, love the macro stuff. Ralph (deskjet)

Peter, please, please, please keep pointing out "tidbits" many of us are relatively new to PTE and have yet to delve into the depths of this excellent program, so please for as LumenLux says "for the good of the group" I for one trully appreciate your help and knowledge on the subject. Deskjet

Hi Peter, thanks for that that information, it will certainly help me, now where did I put my glasses? Deskjet.

Hi Patrick, such beautiful photography taken in a beautiful region, thank you for sharing. Deskjet
