davegee Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Please tell me if this has been raised before and I'll delete the thread?In the O&A window it would be great to be able to see the next image appearing during the "outgoing transition".It would make alignment of images for the "third image" effect so much easier.Anyone have any views?DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fh1805 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Dave,I don't recall it being raised before. My own method is to build my images within Photoshop as Layers. Using the Move tool I can adjust both the size and the position of each image relative to the previous and next. Changing the opacity allows me to assess not just the third image but the transition all the way through.Sure, its time consuming, but that is what is required in order to achieve something more than just images changing one after the other. Unfortunately, with my preference for subjects of a historical nature, I often am using old images and so don't have as much freedom to change the composition as I do with my own images.regards,Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegee Posted August 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Peter,I have done that when necessary, but I now find myself moving away from PS and relying almost entirely on NX2. I use PS for very little these days (my recent HAY show was 100% NX2).It occurred to me that being able to do it from within PTE would be advantageous to a lot of people out there and quite a time saver.Doing it in PS necessitates saving large PSD files and, although HD space is not a problem, they are cumbersome to work with.I guess that introducing the next image as an object to a slide and varying its opacity for precise positioning is a good workaround but not as easy as being able to do it during the transition phase.DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fh1805 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Whilst I can accept the benefit for some users, to my mind the use of PTE to do this will result in unnecessarily large image files being used. We know the consequence of that: the potential for a sequence not to run smoothly on a system other than the one it was created on.regards,Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegee Posted August 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Peter,Do you NEVER zoom in or out of images?Making a small allowance for this purpose has surely become the norm and within the tolerances of the "small allowance" there is room for aligning images more precisely?Just a thought.DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davegee Posted August 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Thanks Andre,I thought that it had been brought up before and surprisingly Peter was in favour then ().I still think it has some merit even if it is switchable.DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkb Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Dave, Copy the following image as an object into the slide you are working on.Reduce the opacity so you can get the alignment you require.Then when happy with it, Reset the Opacity back to 100%, cut from this slide, paste back into the next & delete the original.Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
