The main difference is Bootcamp requires you to reboot while VMWare and parallels let you run Windows apps at the same time as Mac apps. I use VMWare and PTE works great. Create a Mac show from PTE and if you set up shared folders, you can launch it right away on the Mac side. You can run the Windows slide show in VMware too. I've given up on a Mac PTE.

sounds like a customer you don't need and could never make happy anyway.

Did he buy anything or is he just complaining? Did you say they were Windows only and did he buy them anyway? If so tell him he got what he ordered. Or did you say they work on a Mac but it was just a folder of movies, no executables? That I could see where he might have been expecting more but its out of line to say youre a crook.

That Mac users run Windows? That's an advantage, not lack. It's nice to be able to do both on one computer. I know people think Windows has all the software and Macs don't and must run Windows to do anything but nothing could be further from the truth. Sure there is Windows software that doesn't exist on Macs like PTE but there is Mac software that doesn't exist on Windows like Aperture. Some runs on both like Photoshop. Pick the tool that works the best.

Personally, I hate autorun and have it disabled. Sometimes I don't want to run whatever it is and just want to copy a file off the disk. sorry to disappoint you, but I was just wondering what you meant. I use both and they each have benefits. I've never heard of a Mac being called not slick. Lack of what?

What do you mean by Mac users are used to a less than slick product?

I've tried doing that and it doesn't work well. Usually it crashes on the Mac, and if you can get it to work on the Mac it wont work on the PC (but at least it gives an error and not crash). You can't have one project make both. You need to maintain two projects with different app names.

Home Premium can run 32 bit apps just fine although drivers must be 64 bit. XP compatibility mode is not needed for this. That makes no sense. 32 bit apps run on Win7 64 bit and the ones you said were 64 bit aren't. VueScan was already mentioned. It's great and supports lots of scanners, without needing XP mode. A beta of VueScan x64 is coming in November should be even better. http://www.hamrick.com/

It's not a nightmare at all. Most of the time, it works fine. What problems are you having? huh? Acrobat or Flash are 32 bit and they work fine on Win7 64bit. There is a developer preview of 64 bit Flash Player that came out a month ago, so a 64 bit Flash Player is coming soon. Photoshop has been 64 bit for a few years. There are plenty of other 64 bit apps with more of them every day. Not even close.

Accomodate the Mac types? What if the guy showed up with a PC laptop that has only DVI output?

6 months? Igor said they started on Mac a couple of years ago. Making Mac slide shows in Windows came out last year. apple does not restrict developers. Its very clear that Windows is the priority and WnSoft should come right out and say so. Ive given up waiting and I run the current version in vmware.

why not just run Windows on your mac and use PTE? Who knows when the Mac version will happen or how good it will be. I think Igor said it won't do everything the Windows version does.

Ive tried it. Its almost as good as the real thing. Its free so give it a try and see if you like it. if you only need something basic it will probably be fine.

yes there is. Go to import options in preferences. Pick mp3 and the bitrate. You shouldn't have to convert but PTE doesn't know aac yet. Igor said next version. It might be a bad mp3 file from the converters or it mght be a PTE bug. Ive had PTE play garbled audio but rebuilding fixes it.

why not use iTunes to convert? Don't those other converters cost money? Try that and see if the problem goes away. Maybe its not PTE although it should not crash if the soundfile is bad.

Apple and Dell make them that size, and the Dell is cheapest, under $1000 refurb. My computer cost more than that (core i7). I love the space. 1600 pixels tall is great for reading files and have two pages side by side. I do a lot of page layout and there is no going back to smaller screens. Photos on it are great. I can look at photos from my old 3 megapixel Canon G1 at 100%! Only problem is I have a 7D now so I have to shrink them again. Still, with photoshop I can see A LOT of the image.

2560 x 1600 here, a very nice Dell 30" LCD.

that's great! The #1 replacement for Photoshop is Photoshop.

The music fits, but the slides were much too fast.

can someone explain this feature to me? why would I wnt to take a bunch of images and line them up in Photoshop when I can use them individually?

same as posting for pc. output a mac version as Zip and post it. Very easy. I like the music you picked.

You can do the same adjustments in Lightroom. They're all there in the develop module. Definitely look for training videos on line. If you watch someone do it, it's easy. Then once you're done getting the images the way you want, export them any size you want in jpeg or tiff and go to PTE. You can even put them in order in lightroom and have it add numbers to the images when exporting.

I run it in VMWare and its not slow. it needs a lot of memory though maybe thats why. I wonder about Mac version too but where is it? Igor just announced 6.5 for PC, nothing for Mac.

That got me to where I think I can figure the rest, at least I hope so. Thanks!

Hi. I want to do a flip 3d transition, but split in half, with the left side flipping one way and the right side flipping the other way. I'm stuck on how to get two pictures side by side to animate. I'm trying to adapt the cube stuff, but flat, and it's not working very well. Any suggestions?
