Why not 16:9 ?

[Lin Evans]

Hi Barry,

Because the vast majority of wedding photographers that I know use Canon and Nikon dSLR's which capture in 3:2 aspect ratio and do not prefer to display their photos at reduced size to fit a 16:9 aspect ratio screen with a 16:9 backdrop. Users of my own wedding style can create everything except the first three images  created by the style at whatever aspect ratio they desire and use 16:9 or vertical aspect ratios or even square images if they like in the middle of their show. There are plenty of wedding styles at different aspect ratios so each to their own preference. It's also very easy to simply create the show in 3:2 then change the necessary images from 3:2  to  whatever other aspect ratio desired after running the style.

Most professional displays available here are 16:10 or 16:9 or some of the newer ones even 21:9 .  On the other hand professional DSLR cameras are still primarily 3:2 even though a few offer other aspect ratios at reduced resolution. Many professional wedding photographer still use medium format and shoot square format images at various resolution.  Trying to create all the possible aspect ratio styles gets very confusing for users because many photographers still use 4:3 and a number still use 5:4 especially for portrait work. 

So there can be styles to suit everyone's needs and desires. My own for the most part will continue to be 3:2 which work just fine on my 30" 16:10 aspect ratio display as well as on my 4:3 displays. I don't have a 16:9 display.

Best regards,

Lin

Why not 16:9, it won't change the 3:2 images at all and the vast majority of the customers for the product will be viewing on a TV and that is likely to be 16:9. Rightly or wrongly, doesn't a slide show viewed on a TV with black bars left and right make it look a little dated? Like when we flick channels and drop onto an old TV program that doesn't fit the screen.

Barry,

Some of the newest movies are being made in 4:3 aspect ratio which is making a major come-back in the movie industry.  8K is on the horizon and that may take the form of several aspect ratios just as 4K has both (3840 or 4096 by 3160) so having a black bar is going to become even more common in the future and may imply not a dated show but a dated display.  

There simply isn't a way to make everyone happy but like I said, it's simple for the user to change the show before creating the video for TV or executable for computer displays to 16:9 or 16:10 if they want.

Well done Lin

I love but did not know the transition (or style) used to introduce the old car slide (kind of weaping).

Could you remind us its name?

[Lin Evans]

Hi Jean,

The style is one created by one of our French users, Pascal Chevallereau who posts under the pseudonym Paiche59. You can read about it and download here: 

The style is called "Brush Strokes" and there is another similar one called "Watercolor" - Pascal has also a commercial site where he provides some free and also sells transitions and styles which can be found here: https://diaporashop.com/

In case you don't speak French - use Google Web Translate

Best regards,

Lin

Fair enough, I’ll wait for the 4:3 come back

Thank you Lin for this demonstration. I have a wedding slideshow to prepare, I will largely draw inspiration from your example to realize it.
Best regards,
Pascal.
