-pops- Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 OfotoNow is a useful utility for photo manipulationhttp://www.ofoto.com/DownloadClient30.jsp?...86832206&c=f_onTry it.I think you will need a picture to VCD/DVD program to do a proper slide show transfer for standalone players to use. I can't think of one at the moment though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madboy33 Posted July 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 to be honest dont think its manipuation i need hereI was wondering if i saved the files into .tif format or .bitmap, then the file size would be bigger and maybe nero could deal with that betterwhat you all think ?

Boris Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Tried IrfanView ?Freeware - http://www.irfanview.com/From the Help :-SlideshowClick on the File menu, select Slideshow. A dialog allows you to select a directory from which the files will be taken. Use Look in and File name to narrow the search; use Files of type to limit the search to one type of file, such as JPG.Click the file names you want to use. If you have a range of files to choose, click the first. Move the mouse to the last file in the group, hold down the Shift key on the keyboard, and click. To choose individual files, hold down the Ctrl key and click each file name with the mouse. Click the Add button. Click the Add all button to select every image in the directory. Remove and Remove all take files back out.Click the Advanced button to choose a sort order by name, date, size, or extension. Files may be sorted in ascending or descending order. To remove a sort, click the No sort option button. Click Stop Slideshow and close IrfanView after the last image if you want to close IrfanView after the slideshow. Click OK to close the dialog. To exit without making changes, click the Cancel button.There are several options for slideshow. If there is a check-mark in the box, the option is "on." Unchecked means "off." Click Loop to cause Slideshow to play continuously. The next option is Suppress errors during slideshow. Next is Show image filename; click this to display the name of the image as it appears on screen. The final option is Hide mouse cursor; click to make the mouse cursor "invisible" while the slideshow is playing. The next option is Don't display same image again (if random slideshow); no repeats in the random slideshow.There are settings for how long each image will be shown; click the option button of your choice. The top option plays the next image automatically after a number of seconds, any key press will stop the slideshow; type a number into the box to change the timing. The second option will cause the viewer to wait until you touch a key on the keyboard or move the mouse before displaying the next image. The third option plays a randomly chosen image after the specified time, any key press will stop the slideshow; the fourth plays a random image after you touch a key or the mouse.You can set the start image either manually or using double click on a file in the slideshow list.Click the Play button to begin the slideshow.Slideshows can be saved for future use. When you choose the images and begin playing a show, IrfanView creates a file named: Slideshow.lstwhich is placed in the IrfanView directory on your disk drive. This may be loaded back into the viewer and used again. Click Load from TXT file, and a dialog like the Open dialog from the File menu appears. Find the file you want to use and click Open to load it. Click Save as TXT file, and a dialog like Save As appears. Give your slideshow a name, and click Save to have it stored on the disk drive.You can also save the current slideshow also as self running EXE or SCR file (standalone executable/screen saver). First, create and run a slideshow. Now, if all slideshow options work as you wish, click the Save as EXE/SCR file button. The result file is standalone and can be distributed easily.Possible errors during the EXE creation are: the input file can't be loaded or the disk is full (temp folder).If you have Nero Burning ROM installed, you can burn the slideshow to CD (Data CD) or create a Video CD (VCD). You must also install the Nero-PlugIn for IrfanView first.Slideshows can be created outside of IrfanView, then loaded once you open the viewer. Use a text editor that stores its files as plain text, such as Windows Notepad. The file only contains the name of each image to be played in the slideshow, each on a separate line in the file. Each must include the complete path where the image will be found on your hard drive. It will look something like this: C:\Images\myimage.JPGCreate the file and store it on your disk. When you start IrfanView, open the Slideshow dialog, and use the Load from TXT file button to start your show. Shows can also be played from outside the viewer, using a Command Line Option.When you are done click Close. You may also click this before the slideshow starts. Another way to exit is to click the X in the upper right corner.How to pause an automatic slideshow? Just press the Pause key. Press the pause key again to restart the slideshow.
