Better late than never. I was a long way from home when the new software was released, but spent some time creating the attached with the help of Igor of course.

Relatively little snow in the Scottish Highlands this winter. However, a couple of recent short breaks yielded just enough images for this slideshow. Res: 1920x1200. 5m.15s.

In this the 100th Anniversary of The Somme and Passchendale, I thought of the very fine work the War Graves Commission does. This is my tribute to them.

An illustration of thge poem by George Meredith. I have made some tweaks and changes to the show previously uploaded, using more of the Pictures to Exe 9.04 features.

A few pictures I took of some glorious sunsets on the island of St Maarten Time: 3.13mins Size: 21,3mb

Top of my bucket list was a visit to Maho Beach, St Maarten to witness the planes landing low over my head and to watch the take offs. I was not disappointed at all. I also flew to the nearby island of St Barts to experience the dangerous landing over a hill and down onto a short runway. I do have some shots of Sunwing Airlines, the airline that Ken Cox's grandson, Spencer is a pilot. Size of file: 26,6mb

The Beamish Museum in County Durham, England is a fantastic open air Museum. A brilliant place to visit, but to do it justice you really need two days as there is so much to see on a site that included working trams and old vehicles, a whole 1913 town street with shops, houses and a park, a pit village, a colliery, a farm, a railway station and much more. A visual treat. And already planned - a 1950's 'town'. My images are the result of several visits last year, put together to give a taster of what you could see . . . Thanks to James Pearson (Artistic/Musical Director of Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club in London) for his permission to use his music.

I spent 2 gorgeous weeks on the island which is shared between France and Holland. St Maarten has plenty to offer with beautiful beaches and crystal clear waters. I have featured a few of my memories in this presentation. Size: 19,3mb Length: 2mins59

The Parish Church in my home village of Hathersage in the Derbyshire Peak District, UK, is currently (January to June 2017) undergoing some serious interior building work in order to improve the ancient lighting and heating. I have been asked to record the work - before, during and after. These are my photos of the 'before' taken at the end of last year (2016) . . .

A selection of my own images, taken around the Hope Valley area of the Derbyshire Peak District.

A Demo of some Photo Album Pages Styles.

Just a quick demo of some capabilities of PicturesToExe which are not found in other presentation slideshow products. Text circling a rotating planet (Jupiter in this case) is something which can be accomplished in Photoshop Extended in the 3D Video section, but it results in a video being created. The text can't be manipulated beyond what is done in the video. The colors on the front and back of text can't be different and individual characters can't be in different fonts, etc. With PicturesToExe this is all possible and much more! PTE is vastly more versatile for doing this than even Photoshop Extended. This demonstration created in PicturesToExe 9 demonstrate 3D animated and orbiting text showing both front and back of the text - demonstrating color and different font characterists. It also demonstrates multiple layers and masking as well as use of RGBA alpha channel and chroma key extraction features. Many of these capabilities will not be used in the average slideshow, but are there for those who wish to experiment and try new things with this magnificent product.

This started out in 1994 as a film based two-projector transparency show, and has evolved over the years. Still a few film shots in there. It's people pictures in a similar style to my Feeling Groovy

A new show of a few slides put together, all taken during our winter months. Res: 1920:1200. 4m. 55s. Keyboard control enabled. Maureen

As we approach the end of winter, a new slideshow.

My take on the frieze around the base of the statue at St Pancras International Rail Station

This is my tribute to the classic Sci-fi film 2OO1 : a Space Odyssey, inspired by the Through the Star Gate sequence with my own beginning and end. All done with stills, no video, in Pictures to EXE V8. You'll need a pretty fast PC to run the PC version without stuttering. I'm trying to upload the Video version which runs on almost anything but having no luck at the moment.

The disused Victorian Cemetery in Sharrow, Sheffield UK. Overgrown and dilapidated, it is now being restored. These pictures were taken before that work started. The music is Cursum Perficio by Enya. It translates to "My Journey ends Here" which I thought appropriate.

A celebration of Autumn, as we call in in the UK.

Greetings, On our road trip in Italy from Naples to Palermo, we just happened to stop in this town for a cappuccino one morning. It was just a serendipity moment that I recommend to anyone to make a stop here.

Padley Gorge is a narrow gorge in the Peak District of Derbyshire England. It is wooded with deciduous trees and has numerous waterfalls, hence the choice of music - Waterfalls by Rick Wakeman.
