Having the ability to put a simple border on images in pics to exe

[Phoebe]

I do people slide shows and would love to just import the orginal file into pics to exe and then put a white border on it in this program without having to do all of them in photoshop. That would be a nice feature.

Thanks

Hi Phoebe,

If you are using PTE v5 you can achieve the effect that you want fairly simply. You need first to use Project Options... Screen tab: change the background solid colour from the default of black to white. Then select each of your images in turn and take it into Objects & Animation and reduce the Zoom value to, say, 95% or whatever suits you. If you want more control over the border size you can click on the little button between the two zoom values to "disconnect" them and set each one independent of the other.

Hope this helps,

To expand a bit on Peters excellent explanation, you can also choose any image you wish and then choose "tiled" background and this image. If you wanted a picture frame of some design you simply create the frame as a rectangular image in Photoshop, etc., and the easiest way is to choose an aspect ratio corresponding to your own camera's images such as 4:3 or 3:4, etc., then use this image as your background and as Peter suggests reduce the size of your images to show this border. So it's not necessary to have a frame attached to each image just show the image on top of the frame chosen as a background.

Best regards

Lin

Phoebe, just for information, this feature is planned in a future version of PTE
