Yaryman Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 So I'm doing the trial version of Studio Pro which allows you to create a new slide style. What I'm looking to do, is make a slight modification to an existing slide style. Long story short, I don't see me creating styles from scratch, so buying the pro version wouldn't be worth it. But if I can modify styles, then it's a go on the pro. There are a couple styles I like, but I would like them even more if I could modify them. I'm making the assumption it would be easier to modify a style than to completely create it. ( Yes, I do know the rule about making assumptions ) The modification would be something like covering more of the screen with the original photo in this style.

jt49 Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 I am not an expert in styles. What you could try to do: Just apply a given style. Then modify the output as you like it. Then create a new style from the modified output. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegee Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 Just apply the Style, make the revisions that you want to make and re-save (re-create) as a different name. Brush Strokes 2.ptestyle DG P.S. Bear in mind that some features of the default built in styles (Options) cannot be saved in an edited re-created Style.

Lin Evans Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 Hi Yaryman, Did you watch the video I made for you after you posted the video of your show? One of the things I covered was just how easy it is to create a style and also how to save your text which was obliterated by applying a slide style and how to apply that saved text AFTER using a slide style. There are plenty of good time saving reasons to use a style in your shows to greatly save time. Yes, you can modify a style which was created by users and save the modifications as a new style. David's reminder perhaps requires a little more clarification. There are default styles that are part of PTE and there are hundreds of styles which are not part of the program itself but have been made by various users. Any style made by a user can be modified and saved as a new style. Those styles which are created by and distributed by the developers with the program can't be edited and saved. On the other hand, some of the styles distributed by the developers have identical counterparts in styles created by users and either sold or given to the forum, so the vast majority of built-in styles can be modified by using these counterparts rather than the default built-in styles of PTE.

Yaryman Posted January 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 LIn, Thanks for taking the time to make the video. I had watched the first one you posted in the thread, but didn't see you had added the second longer video to your post. Note: I was going to make up some lame excuse about the dog eating my homework, and that was why I didn't see the video, but since you added it to a post that was already there, I didn't know you had added it. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just told him how to do it (with the Deluxe Version) and posted a sample of a re-created Style. The only part which is not possible to save is the "Options" as in "Album" / Options / Zoom and Caption. DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lin Evans Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 Yes, that's the point I was trying to make. That not being the case with user created styles. Best regards, Lin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
