FROM STU'S ENTRY http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=12321 However ... it would be nice if the Navigation Bar did include a Last Slide button to compliment its Home Slide (first slide) button to better navigate in some particular slideshow needs. KEN'S COMMENT it would also be useful to be able to go to specific slides via a roll down arrow window ken

George make the pte in several forms and see which looks best -- save as under different names to differentiate you have most of the work done then post the best - in your eyes ken

copy and paste the exe out of your mailer to the desktop and then try it ken

George seems cramped in the format you chose -- you are from the States so you are familiar with Montana's "big sky country" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montana 'tho your sky is not a Montana sky you should enhance it to make it "big sky" by filling the screen transitions could also be slowed down ken

For the Canadian newsmagazine show, see 16:9 (TV series).Five common aspect ratiosThe aspect ratio of an image is the ratio of the width of the image to its height, expressed as two numbers separated by a colon. That is, for an x:y aspect ratio, no matter how big or small the image is, if the width is divided into x units of equal length and the height is measured using this same length unit, the height will be measured to be y units. For example, consider a group of images, all with an aspect ratio of 16:9. One image is 16 inches wide and 9 inches high. Another image is 16 centimeters wide and 9 centimeters high. A third is 8 yards wide and 4.5 yards high. Aspect ratios are mathematically expressed as x:y (pronounced "x-to-y") and x×y (pronounced "x-by-y"), with the latter particularly used for pixel dimensions, such as 640×480. Cinematographic aspect ratios are usually denoted as a (rounded) decimal multiple of width vs unit height, whilst photographic and videographic aspect ratios are usually defined and denoted by whole number ratios of width to height. In digital images there is a subtle distinction between the Display Aspect Ratio (the image as displayed) and the Storage Aspect Ratio (the ratio of pixel dimensions); see distinctions, below. The most common aspect ratios used today in the presentation of films in movie theaters are 1.85:1 and 2.39:1.[1] Two common videographic aspect ratios are 4:3 (1.33:1), universal for standard-definition video formats, and 16:9 (1.78:1), universal to high-definition television and European digital television. Other cinema and video aspect ratios exist, but are used infrequently. As of 2010[update], nominally 21:9 (2.33) aspect TVs have been introduced by Philips and Vizio (the latter using an LCD from AU Optronics) as "cinema" displays, though the resolution is more precisely 2560×1080 = 2.37, and the aspect ratio is not standardized in HDTV. In still camera photography, the most common aspect ratios are 4:3, 3:2, and more recently being found in consumer cameras 16:9[2]. Other aspect ratios, such as 5:4, 6:7, and 1:1 (square format), are used in photography as well, particularly in medium format and large format. With television, DVD and Blu-ray, converting formats of unequal ratios is achieved by either: enlarging the original image (by the same factor in both directions) to fill the receiving format's display area and cutting off any excess picture information (zooming and cropping), by adding horizontal mattes (letterboxing) or vertical mattes (pillarboxing) to retain the original format's aspect ratio, or (for TV and DVD) by stretching (hence distorting) the image to fill the receiving format's ratio, by scaling by different factors in both directions, possibly scaling by a different factor in the center and at the edges (as in Wide Zoom mode).

Ronnie maybe this will help - i have it on a clipboard under my keyboard and add my notes to it all the time http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect_ratio_(image) ken

Barry done ken

Actually Barrie, IMHO this thread could have started in Andrew's thread -- they are both similar in many ways - i may agree that Andrew's thread was not entirely correct, but the discussion's in this thread are very similar to what Andrew tried to start -- in many ways this thread is judging other people's work ! ken

WHY EVEN MAKE AN EXE ? it duplicates space on the harddrive -- it only takes a minute to make when you need it -- one does not need a whole wad of duplicate material and how hard is it to open an old pte with the latest version and save it with a new name indicating the latest version that it was saved with ????? ken

Gerard I have advised Igor ken

Guess some of you have forgot this thread that was started in '07 and was active till '09 http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=6713 quite a few of the points being brought up now were brought up then guess times dont change another thing, quite a few of the people that contributed then we dont see much anymore:unsure: ken

DAVY guess i dont need to write book on it - there is a NASCAR race on and i missed the start - right eye on screen left eye on the race -- but i had to put both eyes on your masterpiece that is a wowser - best viewed on halloween nite great transitions and the detail of the shots is outstanding but not for woosies the little people have left the house ken

Rick use the arrow buttons ken

George i would try again -- Brian got it after your posting ken

RONNIE nice collection - full screen - smooth you would almost think there are never any "weather days" in the UK ken

Daniel great show, lots of "old iron" to view no staged picts the Shadows album - perfect ken
