Lin, I've tried resizing the images for my slideshow and checked the timing, as you suggested. I tried a short interval and then a longer interval. In both cases the timing appeared to be accurate. While doing these tests I investigated the 'timeline' - that was another lesson learned. Thank you for your help. Don

Hi, Lin. Thank you for your reply. I will try the test you suggested with a small number of images and let you know what I find, but my first reaction is to question the quality of the 'down-sized' images. Reducing the size of an image and saving it as a JPEG file involves two processes that affect image quality: the size reduction and the creation of a new JPEG file. Are you suggesting that as a matter of course one should reduce the image size when using PicturesToExe? I understand that any loss of picture quality is probably not going to be very noticeable, if at all, but I am always careful to maintain as much of the original picture information as I can when processing images. The system information you asked for is as follows: Operating System: MS Windows XP Home Edition CPU: Intel Celeron, 800MHz Memory: 384MB Video Card: NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Model 64, 32MB RAM, Resolution 1024x768x85Hz Don

Thank you Admin1, you have just solved my problem. I am a new user of PicturesToExe and was having the same problem of the transition effects apparently not 'sticking'. Changing the interval between slides has fixed the problem, and I can understand how changing the image size would achieve a similar result. However, it seems to me that the timing for the interval between images is inaccurate. To achieve an actual interval of, say, 5s, I have to set the interval in PicturesTo Exe to something approaching twice the desired time, nearly 10s. These figures are estimates, not necessarily accurate, but the discrepancy between the actual time and that set in the program is quite noticeable. Can you, or anyone, confirm the timing set in the program is accurate, or otherwise. Don
