Hi, I tried to download this file a while back but was only able to download the first two. I couldn't get the 3rd. Did anyone get all three that would be able to send me the 3rd? You can email me @ jrb059@adelphia.net thanks. jrb

Hi Igor, I voted for the 1 to 6 categories. It's my position too many categories would be just as confusing as no categories at all. I'm not sure the categories you've suggested are the best to put out there. Maybe after you establish the right number of categories we could take a few days/weeks to discuss the proper titles for the categories. Having the "right" category is probably as important as have them. Thanks for the chance to contribute! jrb

How about "Beta; now and future" Bug reports on current beta versions and what we'd like to see in future releases. jrb

Thanks ccmans. jrb

In the old forum someone posted a utility that could be used to change your display size on the fly. For example; I'm using 1024 x 768 and want to see how my show will look in 800 x 600 or the other way round. Anyone remember what that utility was and where to get it???? Thanks, jrb

Thanks to all. I think we'll take a look at the Nikon's. I've always thought Nikon made a great camera, but didn't realize they'd become so reasonably priced. Guru - I'd love that camera with a digital back for myself!! Once again, thanks. jrb

Hi all, Once again I need advice on a good NEW camera for a friends son. The young man is what I'd call an intermediate Photographer. Here is what he said he would like: SLR with both automatic and fully manual settings. The body and a basic lens should cost no more than $500. Is there anything out there that I could recommend he look at? JRB

I second that request. jrb

Kurt, It sounds as though you get what I want. I'm looking for the presentation to be full screen and can't seem to come up with that. Click on the background tab and tell me where the option for no background is located. JRB

Well I'm sure not an expert on P2TV, but "full screen" means the photo takes up the entire screen. I too have xat and that produces the photo's in full screen very nicely. It too has it's drawbacks, but at least it does not have those troublesome photo album backgrounds which limit the size of the displayed photo. If you could point out how to make the photo full screen I'd be a lot more interested in P2TV, it does have it's good points. JRB

Bill, I tried Pictures2TV but didn't like the "formats". It seems as though you can't display the show "full screen" with no background. JRB

Bill, How about posting the location where PicturestoTV can be downloaded. Or you can email it to me using the email link below. jrb

I'm not sure I understand what you mean, Ken. What I'm talking about are major divisions under which you post threads on a particular topic, such as "HELP!", this might be where those who have questions on "how to" could post their questions. Another division could be "REQUESTED ADDITIONS TO P2E", here would be threads on new additions to P2E. "BUGS" could be a division where owners of P2E could report bugs and get help with "work arounds". etc. jrb

What ever happened to the question posted earlier about adding topic headings. We could divide this forum into subsets that would be dedicated to a specific area of concern, such as "Desired Upgrades to P2E" and "HELP" or even "Freebies". That way you will be able to find topics of interest much faster. jrb

As long as I have a forum, let me plead for the ability to create a "VCD". I've looked at other software that will create slide shows to play on one's CD player and want that ability in Pictures to Exe. I see the quality is not as good as we have in the PC Monitor, however, to be able to produce a VCD that can be seen by friends and relatives that have no computer out weighs the reduction in quality of the photograph. Besides, most will not notice . . .first of all, they have no idea of the original quality, and secondly, even if they knew the original quality, most would not care about the quality "loss". Igor . . . . PLEASE? jrb

Thanks ever so much to all of you for your replies! I knew that I'd get a lot of feed back from you folks. If I could be so bold as to ask, could I get some of your thoughts of these cameras from those of you that use them. Lin's detailed response was extremely helpful, but also pointed out my dilemma . . . they are all top notch cameras and the choice is going to be hard. So, if those of you who own these cameras could give me some feed back on how you like the camera perhaps that would be helpful. I understand that in the final analysis I will have to make a choice, but all the information I can get in the mean time will help, I'm sure. Thanks, jrb

O.K. I know there are an awful lot of folks that know a lot about photography and digital camera in this forum and I need your help. I'm just beginning my search for my next digital camera. Right now I've narrowed the search to the following 4. The Nikon Coolpix 5700, the Olympus E-20, the Sony DSC-F717, and the Minolta DiMAGE 7i. I have all the technical specifications on the cameras. What I'd like is information you might have on the ease of use and the quality of photographs the camera produces. One last thing, someone just told me that all you really need in 5 mega pixels, that 6 mega pixels is over kill. What do you think about that? Thanks. JRB

Perhaps even an "Open from Template" option under the "File" menu. JRB

You can edit anything you authored. If you didn't author it you can't edit it. To edit see my previous post. What Leif did was copy the post as a quote and edit the quote and I don't think that is what you're talking about. JRB

That doesn't make it right or even O.K. Because it's the theft of a small item should not deter us from pointing out the wrongness and seeking ways to limit it and even prevent it. I'm sure the large retail chains will agree. Because a wrongful act seems impossible to stop should not end in our resignation and acceptance of it as "more trouble than it's worth" to deal with it. That's how a society declines. JRB

Marian, For some, if not all, it's the principal of the thing. It's kinda like the question of downloading "free" music that really isn't free. The photographer has rights over his/her photographs and the world should not think that they have free access and use of them just because they can "capture" them. The question really becomes sensitive when your trying to make a living with your photographs. That's one persons opinion. JRB

I wanted to extend the best of the season to all the members of our forum. And especially to Igor and the Winsoft team! Merry Christmas and may God bless your new year. JRB

Boxig, First, make sure your signed in. If your not signed in you can't edit anything. The same was true on the old forum. If signed in you should see an "edit" button in the upper right corner of your post. JRB (formerly jb)

Hey Casey . . . . what about a screen capture program? Won't people still be able to get any image displayed? JRB (formerly jb)

It's interesting to see guru listed as a "Junior" member! Hang in there old buddy, you'll be a senior member again someday jrb (formerly jb)
