PARQUET style

[thedom]

Here is a new style I just created. Actually it was a demo I made a few years ago and I transformed it into a style.

Parquet Style

Demo (exe file for PC)

I plan to transform many demos I made in the past and to publish them as a pack of styles for a reasonable price.

I guess some people will not agree of a "commercial" pack but I spend really a lot of time to create the demos. 
It will take a lot of time to transform them into styles as well. I hope it will be useful for photographers.
What do you think of this idea ?

[Lin Evans]

Hi Dom,

I think having commercial packs of styles available for a reasonable price is an excellent idea. New users of PicturesToExe often want to create interesting shows but had not yet acquired sufficient levels of understanding to achieve the results they would like. Styles, templates and even themes (a pack of styles with a thematic direction) are excellent ways for them to achieve their goals. Also busy professionals such as wedding photographers would love this idea. Time is money for them and after shooting a wedding and post processing hundreds and sometimes more than a thousand images, being able to create an exciting and professional show for their client without re-inventing the wheel each time is money in the bank for them. As you say, it takes time, skill and dedication to create professional styles and people are more than willing to pay for the help. Having such helps not only the person who dedicates the time, skill and effort to producing the styles but also benefits the company who produces the presentation slideshow software because it make that software more useful to a broader audience.

Best regards,

Lin

This pack of styles will be most welcomed and will certainly help newcomers to PTE like me (as I pleaded here last week), as well as professionals such as wedding photographers, as Lin mentioned.

Thanks!

Lin, Craig, thank you for your reply.

Craig, you mentionned you would like "On vacation" style. 

Please do not hesitate to tell what other demos you would like to use in priority.

you can watch most of them on my YouTube Channel : http://www.youtube.fr/thedom2005

Dom, you have a great idea, amazing talent and I am sure everyone here looks forward to your fine work.  You have always been extraordinarily generous and creating commercial packs for a reasonable price will be a service to many of us as well as a learning tool. Commercially produced styles will no doubt result in high quality products and effectively broaden the appeal of PTE. I have often thought of doing the same, and may, but not now as life is too full of other things.

One thought would be regarding copyrighting commercial styles--which I hope would not happen.

Thank you for making this available.

 

I used to won many of your products, but, unfortunately, they were lost through a crash, and I cannot find the back ups. I would love it if you would once again put  your styles etc, backup. They made my slide shows so much better. I have not the talent to create what you do.

 

I hope that you make a wedding style available similar to what you showed. It is wonderful.

 

Thanks again. I look forward to once again getting some of your work in the future.

Sure, count me in .. although I'll have to wait until Version 9 release, I'm still using version 7.0.17  I think.

[thedom]

Judy, Ray, Jak, Masrawy, Thanks.

I guess I have to put myself to work now !

I also cast my vote for the return of thedom styles/templates to the marketplace.  The ones on your old site got me started with PTE and have kept me from giving up trying to learn it.  Lin's tutorials are finally making sense to me (some of us are slow, some are dependent upon the right learning moment, and some of us all of the above).  

[Craig]

Dom, I like all of the styles and templates shown on your YouTube channel.  Of course, you know how I like your vacation style, but I also liked your wooden chest box, the "10 slides" style and "frame pictures 3D wall" style.

Thanks for your work in bringing these back, and all the best.

[thedom]

Ok Craig,

the first pack will include "vacation", "chest box" and "10 slides" styles.

the second pack will include "pictures 3D wall", "wedding" styles and a third to define.

[thedom]

For information, "Vacation" and "10 Slides" styles are ready, now compatible with any screen ratio (4:3 or 16:9)
I improved "Vacation" style to accept any format of pictures (landscape or portrait, 4:3 or 3:2), the only limitation is that the formats can NOT be mixed.

I improved "10 slides" style : I added a nice background and the animation is a continuous subtile zoom.
It accept landscapes pictures (4:3 or 3:2).

The pack #1 should be available in 7 days maximum.

The pack #2 will include  "pictures 3D wall", "wedding"... and "photobox" styles. 

[thedom]

Most of my demos are more than short and simple animations of a few pictures, they are full slideshows. If I transform them into styles, it will be possible to make complete and "professional" slideshows in less than a minute. And the user will have the ability to use 10, 20... 50 (or more) of his own pictures. 
Change a few text, choose a music and the slideshow will be finished.

That's why I will not sell pack of full slideshow styles. 
You might be interested in a style and not the others and you don't want to pay for the whole package.

For styles that are only a short animation you want to include in a complete slideshow, packs of 4 or 5 styles will be available.

Photobox style should be available in 24 to 48 hours.

Dom,

Do you have any forecast on when more of your creations will be available for sale?

Thanks for this Dom, I think it is an excellent idea.

I agree.  Excellent idea.  You do great work, Dom, and should be able to sell the results at a reasonable price. I have purchased your templates in the past.
