basic questions about PTE

[ama]

Hi, I'm new to this forum, and planning to buy PTE, but I would need to know for sure if the program can create a slideshow with the following features:

- random display of 6000 pictures (they are in tiff format, do I need to change that? is there a fast and easy way to do that?) at random time time intervals between 2 and 12 seconds...

thank you for your help...

Hello Ama,

There are no random functions for the order and display time of the pictures in PicturesToExe.

You can include your 6000 images in your slideshow with drag and drop. It will take a few seconds.

You can modify the order of your images with drag and drop too.

The display time is by default the same for each picture.

You can then select several of those pictures and specify the display time for all those images.

You can do it very quickly.

There is a random function for the slide transitions between each picture.

I think PTE can display images in tiff format but I am not sure.

You can display slides in RANDOM order (Project Options / Main) but the timing can only be global or manually changed to the required time.

You will need to batch convert from TIFF to JPEG in your chosen application i.e. Photoshop etc.

Actually, DaveG is right.

I never noticed the option "Display slide in random order".

Ama, I think XnView (freeware) can convert tiff to jpef in batch mode :
