Have a look at the attached project: For_ptzot_Dec12-2022_13-40-22.zip

You can do what you want to open the color window, e.g. by clicking on a color button of a rectangle. Whatever color you see, set B (of HSB) to 30, click OK, and reopen the color window: Then you will see B=29. The problem is that we have 100 steps for brightness, while we have 255 steps for the color values. It seems that PTE produces some rounding errors, or uses an incorrect formula. If I set B=30 in Photoshop, the maximum color value will be 77, while PTE chooses 76 (while the correct value should be 76.5, which isn't an integer). In Photoshop, a maximum color value of 76 or 75 also corresponds to B=30 (the change to B=29 comes in Photoshop with 74). So it isn't that bad that PTE chooses a maximum color value of 76 if you set B=30. On the other hand, if you set in PTE the maximum color value to 76, PTE chooses B=29 which I would not regard as being correct (in Photoshop it is B=30).

I have another "problem" with the color window (a rounding error?): I open the color window, I set the brightness to B=30, I click OK. Then I reopen the color window, and it shows B=29. There are many other examples of that kind. I see this in V10 and V11. Perhaps it would be better to have a scale of 0-255 for Brightness

The standard way for the Aspect Crop should as we have it today. But there should be the option the have the requested aspect ratio for the image together with its border.

It seems to be OK now

Wouldn't it be fine to have a tick box for Aspect Crop including the border?

When I open a project having a missing file, PTE will show me a window as shown by the following image: When I click "Find Selected File", an explorer window will open: Here it would be better to have the option to choose "all files", and not only jpg-files, as it may happen that I would like to replace the missing image-1 by another image that isn't a jpg (e.g. a png). Presently I have to navigate to the corresponding folder and have to type the name of the new image (e.g. image-1.png).

It seems to be a bug! The problem here: Igor does not speak German.

Please submit your messages in English or publish them in the German section of the forum.

I don't think so. If you open a larger audio clip in Audacity, cut it into several pieces, and export these pieces, you will end up with approximately the same size.

You can do it anyway, but not in the timeline. You can link two clips to the same slide, even if they are on the same track, but you have to do it in "Project Options > Audio". The slide number will be marked red, but it works (while crossfade will not work).

I apply a style in which not all images are main ones. When I save the project, PTE will add a folder like "project-name.resources" which contains images that have been stored in the style folder. Furthermore, the project addresses the images in the resources folder using paths of the following kind: "%store%\Slide Styles\{01471180-92EB-43B6-9464-E23422BC3578}\..." This can cause trouble when copying slides created by the style to other projects (missing images). I know a workaround, but I would prefer standard (direct) paths to the said images.

I enter a text object using a text template (e.g. <%MainImg1.FileName%>). In O&A I see the file name of main image 1. But in the Text Animation Window PTE shows the expression for the text template (see attached image).

This is the problem: If someone writes in French all non-French speaking members have to use a translator (Deepl /Google). This is why I normally do not answer to those posts. IMO the original poster him/herself should deliver the translation From the forum rules: WnSoft forum is an international forum. All messages must be in English only. It is acceptable that a post can be written in a foreign language and supplied with a full English translation.

A long-awaited feature

I also had a similar problem. I was working with Jean-Cyprien's Block Style, using high resolution images. In O&A I tried to enlarge the area of the slide's timeline. While moving the cursor up the PTE window became grey und it had to be closed.

The example in which I noticed the problem is now OK

The attached project contains two slides. IMO they should look the same, but they don't. Alpha-Mask_inside_Displacement-Container.zip

Just a recommendation: use Deepl or Google Translate

???

I could reproduce this effect, as well.

You may examine the attached project. Linear--Smooth--SmoothMove.pte

Will PTE support a Z-buffer (sooner or later)?
