paula johns Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Hi... I'm new to using this program. I just bought it last week, and it seems great. However, for some reason, when I import a folder of jpg's with which to make a slide show, the colors are coming out wrong. It was working before, so I can't imagine what I'm doing wrong? It's all yellow and purple. Does anyone have an idea about this? I assume it's something stupid that I'm doing!Thanks-Paula Johns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guru Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Welcome Paula, and happy new year!Your problem is really very odd and unusual. Are you sure that opening your pictures with a program like Imaging, Irfanview, Paintshop (whichever you use to see your pictures) the color rendition is correct?

paula johns Posted January 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 Thanks. Yes, they look fine in other viewers. I actually converted them to GIF's, and it seemed happy with that. Don't know why it was messing up the JPG's, though...Paula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 And why did you convert them to .GIFs? That format reduces the colours to a mere 256 colours. No doubt this is why your photos look terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guru Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 Actually, Gif format is the worst possible for a color photograph... What program do you use to convert your pictures from one format to another? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Beckham Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 PaulaHave you tried unistalling PTE, downloading the latest version and re-installing that. Perhaps some minor glitch is allowing the program to work, but messing up the Jpeg'sNever heard of any problems like that beforebbdigital Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronniebootwest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 I agree with Barry! I reckon that when you installed the trial version, something just did not install correctly. Delete it from your computer and download the trial again. Just accept all the defaults when loading the program into the folder specified. I bet it will work then - let us know.Oh! and by the way, forget about converting you file to the .gif format - for PTE better to stay with JPEG to avoid further complications.

ContaxMan Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 A suggestion.You could email me two or three of the images you have tried and I'll try to make a short PTE with them. This ought to identify whether the problem lies with the pte program or with the images you're using. I could send you one or two images that I know work OK for you to test.Hope this helps and also that you manage to get this wonderful piece of software working OK on your system.
