I did this show, before to know PicturesToExe, I began to work with Mediashow, but as I explain in french on my web site, I choose PTE when I find it instead of Mediashow for many reasons, even if some effects where better in Mediashow, nobody is perfect, but there are so many qualities in PTE that I keep it.

Yes it's why I said a very little problem, Igor will fixed it in the next version , thanks Igor.

The "Next slide" option give the "Previous slide" button and fonction The "Previous slide" option give the "Next slide" button and fonction

You also have this great sequence here : 185899

Hi Ron, That right, Ron, so, as it's a great work, I ask Eric to send it to me in order I put a good file on a second server. I hope it will done to morrow.

Very nice

Thanks Igor, it's clear. For Photoshop, we'll only can use PNG for semi-transparent image, not BMP 32 bits. If we want to use BMP 32 bits, we will use Pixbuilder. Very good news.Does background image and logo image will also use alpha channel ?

What I didn't understand was you use the sentence "semi-transparent 32-bit BMP " for V4.4 "transparent BMP and transparent PNG" for V5.0. I agree with tom95521's definition and I suppose that V5.0 will support also semi-transparent BMP. But it seem there is a difference between the both versions about BMP semi-transparency : to day we can't use Photoshop's Pictures and on V5.0 it will be possible. Is that right ?

Which is the difference between semi- transparent and transparent.. Transparent, I understand, semi-transparent with 32 bits, I don't understand, I'll be happy to learn about this.

In the actual version, only gif pictures have a transparent background when you use them as object. Even with a transparent gif file, if you use it as an image, there will be no transparency.

In this post, I had a link to a little show with this effect, but it's done without synchronization, it's enough difficult to do with synchronisation, and difficult to do with a too big object (I don't use the Photoshop layer, only the object function of PTE)

Hi Igor, I am not sure it's the same problem, but one of Diapositif's member made a show with this file , two of our members didn't have the sound when all the other members had the sound. I send the mp3 file to one of the two people who don't have sound to test the file, he succeed to listen the file with windows media and nero media player but not with real one player. I open the file with Golwave and save it (It was a different file, I control with Edit hexa) and send it to him, and once a more he can't have sound neither with PTE (I made a special show to test), neither with real one player. I just know that this person has XP on his PC, if it's nteresting for you to know, I can ask the 2 persons wich PC they have.

Thanks Igor, but it's not really important, I just write you in order you see the problem for V5.00

A Diapositif's member made a show in which there was a little problem, so I ask him to send his PTE file. He did no mistake but I found a little problem with PTE 4.43-4.45. When using "Show transition effect to desktop after slide show" if you use a Curling of page transition, but only the option "Rolling up from Left" and "Rolling up from Right" and put an effect duration equal or greater than 5368 ms, it's the desktop which is on both part of the effect. All the other transition effect are good.

Bonjour Igor, "For v5.00 I've wrote unified system of times/synchronization" Is it because of pan/zoom/rotate you have been obliged to work on the time-line or to answer to the request of some people. "In v5.00 I tried to make more friendly timeline. And timeline will be available for all modes of slide-show. Even without music." In the actual version, in non-synchronised mode, on my PC, I am abble to have a new slide (1024x768) each 48 ms, in synchronised mode, with the same slideshow on the same PC, I can have the same new slide only each 100 ms. Another thing, today, If I put in non-synchronised mode a duration of 0 ms, the slide show stops on the slide, which is a good and very important function. Will it be always the same for this 2 points ? Isn't it the end of non-synchronised mode ?

Thank you Igor for the answer, and as I try to explain above, it's a little problem that we can see only when there is a line of 1, 2 or 3 pixels around the picture.

Hi Igor, I found a little problem when PTE samples to the screen definition. When PTE samples from 1024 X 768 towards 1280 X 960, in fact it samples to 1281 X 961 and cuts 1 pixel on the top and 1 pixel on the right. When PTE samples from 1280 X 960 towards 1024 X 768, in fact it samples to 1025 X 769 and cuts 1 pixel on the top and 1 pixel on the right. I use, to be sure, a grey scale picture with 64 parts each part with a difference of 8 points on the level color and then compare the result with PTE and the theorical result. I'll send you this picture, if you want, in order you can test. The problem is visible only when there is a fine feature around the image. Does it will be the same code for this function in V5.00 ?

First be sure that #26 is on the time line before the end of the music. If it's OK, change the music and try your show. It's possible that it's the problem, generally when using wma. If it's not the problem, send me the album with yousendit (my email is on Beechbrook), I'll look it and hope be abble to tell you what happen.

If you mean that in a synchronized slideshow it will be possible to have some slides not synchronized, and that choice will be done with the "custumize slide" windows as you show, there is no problem, and it may be a very interesting function

It's not necessary, you just have to change, before create AVI, the "% of the screen to show slide image" in the Sreen window of the Project Options and put the value at 90%. To see what will be on TV, you just have to use "Show safe TV zone" which is in the "Object Editor" of each view.

Ken, I tried to answer to the question which was : I work always in order to haven't this problem. I am not sure to understand what you say, but when I work I have several folders for the same project : The first one in which I put the original pictures and sound The second one in which I put all the EXCEL, PAINTSHOP PRO etc files The 3rd one in which I put all the BMP, WAV and PTE files of the project and if it use an exe file as in Corsica, I also put the exe files I need. At the end, I make a template that I move and rename near the other folders to convert all my BMP and WAV files in JPG and OGG. I open the PTE file with Excel or Notepad and I Replace .BMP by .jpg and WAV by ogg. For exe files I change the adress with PTE. I generally do like that but I think that many methods are availables. For the story board, I use Excel. That's right Al

Yes, it's what do the template function

If you haven't the oiginal project neither a template (which is the easiest way), you can also copy all the files in the same directory as the PTE file, then edit it with notepad or something else and change 0 by 1 in the line IsTemplate: [main] filetype=Project file of PicturesToExe CreationTool=PicturesToExe v4.40 globalversion=1 minorversion=9 projectname=Transitions 1600 type=Save IsTemplate=0 There is also another solution : replace the old path by the new one with the "Replace function" of the Notepad but it's more difficult and you must do that carrefully

A nouveau merci pour tes voeux. J'ai téléchargé Strata, mais impossible de le lancer, il ne semble plus y avoir de page d'enregistrement sur le site de 3D.com, et sans enregistrement pas de Strata

I just did a screen saver as yours. The screen saver stops when the transition is finish, and the mouse must be use when there is no transition, so if you put a very long transition, 1 or 2 minutes and a very short duration ie 1 ms, you must use your mouse during a long time before it stops. With this version the only way is to make several pictures between the actuals slides, one 90% Pict1+10%Pict2, a second 80%Pict1 + 20% Pict2 and so on and put the transition at about 5 or 6 seconds and put durations at about 100 ms or more. I haven't the next version, but may be than using transparency function, it will be possible to do the same with only 3 pictures, the use of % of transparency will be in PTE, not in Photoshop or else. Sorry for my bad english.
