Barry Beckham Posted September 4, 2022 Report Share Posted September 4, 2022 My apologies, but this 5 minute video lasts 8 minutes. Needs must, I just could not squeeze this technique into just 5 minutes. The original idea was also that of Daveg\ Downloads Here 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeismicGuy Posted September 26, 2022 Report Share Posted September 26, 2022 Quick question. I applied the demo style (2 different images split into 5 portions). Let's say I have Photo A and Photo B, both 16:9 aspect ratios. If I have Photo A as the starting image and Photo B as the ending image (the image after the segments rotate) I notice that you can see the faint lines between the segments on Photo B. If I interchange the images so the Photo B is the first and Photo A is the second, there are again faint lines between the segments on Photo A. Always seems to be the second image. Any idea what is going wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Beckham Posted September 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 Are the images perfectly 16:9, even a pixel or two difference may show a feint line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeismicGuy Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 I think I correctly cropped both original jpg's using 16:9 ratio with Photoshop Elements but I will check again. It always seems to be whatever is picked for the turnaround image is the one where there are very faint vertical lines. I guess I can try picking the same image for both the "front" and "back" and see what happens then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Beckham Posted September 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 The only time I saw that was when I had an image at what I thought was 1920 1080, but I created it 1920*1085 and didn’t notice that I had keyed in the wrong value.

Tonton Bruno Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 This is the reason why I always force the aspect ratio to 16:9 (or any other) for all images included in a style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeismicGuy Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 Well I experimented again. I took one image that was 16:9 (the pixel count in the status bar is 9248x5202 which is exactly 16:9) and picked that one image for both slides in the demo style. The front side was fine but the flipped side always shows the faint vertical lines between segments. I tried another different jpg that is also 16:9 and the same thing happens--front side fine but flip side has lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Beckham Posted September 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 Try reducing the resolution to 1920*1080 or 2560*1440, see if that has an effect. What resolution is your screen running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denisb Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 Hi, I observe the same phenomena. And I can see it in the original video Denis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegee Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 The style was designed for 1920x1080 or multiples thereof. 9248x5202 is indeed 16x9 but dividing 9248 by 5 (20%) does not give a whole number of pixels hence the error and gaps between segments. When doing this kind of work i have always used pixels rather than %. DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeismicGuy Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 I see said the blind man! I am a bit embarrassed that as an engineer I did not figure that out but makes perfect sense. So all I would need to do is take by 9248 x 5202 image and use Photoshop or whatever to resize it to something where the first number is divisible by 5--yes?

davegee Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 Or, as Barry said, resize your images to 1920x1080. DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonton Bruno Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 I suggest that Barry modifies its style and forces main objects to the 16:9 ratio. If the user is not satisfied by the crop, he or she can open the image under Photoshop and reframe it with the apropriate ratio, but by default the style should do it automatically. It is the way I proceed when I share a style, but it is just a suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denisb Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 SeismicGuy, Just untick the Edge antialiasing and the vertical lines will disappear. Denis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeismicGuy Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 A couple of things. Resized both images to 1920x1080 and still got the vertical lines on the second image--doesn't make any sense to me. I was also thinking about the antialiasing thing but was not exactly sure what that does. Would you turn it off for all of the objects then? Just answered my own question--turned off antialiasing everywhere I could and NO MORE LINES. I wonder if that would also have worked when the images were 9248x5202 so I will experiment with that as well. Thanks Denis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
