kgoreilly Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Hi,I've been putting a very small white border around some BW photos, but the photo displayed by the software is clipped. Usually the RHS and bottom white margins are missing. It's extremely time consuming playing around with the margin sizes in photoshop, so that you get even margins in the software.Is there something I don't know???????Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(What software, image sizes, how you are adding the border, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgoreilly Posted August 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Kevin,Can you please give us a little more information about what you are trying to do? (What software, image sizes, how you are adding the border, etc.)I have a 4500x2963 BMP photo opened in Photoshop. I added a 5 pixel white margin. This margin does not appear in full in PicturesToExe. When you "Click Here To Preview The Slide" the entire top and right hand side margin is missing. When you hit the preview button in the "Customize Synchronization" window, a bit of the top margin, and all of the right hand side margin are missing.I'm not looking for a work around solution here -I can think of a few. I was pointing out that there is a flaw in the software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, half-pixels are not allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, half-pixels are not allowed. The point is that SOME of the margins are there, others not. There is some clipping on the RHS, and also on the top, but less there.It's very easy for anyone to replicate this with a simple black photo.PicturesToExe ver#?screen resolution etcall these factors are neededkenIt's the Beta 4.Screen 1024x 768 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it worked OK in my test, with no discernable clipping (see screenshot). Maybe you need to adjust your monitor so as to be able to see 100% of the viewable area.

TommyBurns Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 HiWhy not create an action in photoshop (a few minutes work) then run this on all the photos that require a border/margin this will automate the process and free up time. Also, why use such a large image 38mb!! to be viewed on a monitor at 1024 x 768 - 1920 x 1020 HDTV. RegardsTommy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll make an .exe file and try it out on other computers, and then report back.Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
