Slideshow: please implement "scale"
« on: July 29, 2009, 01:10:02 AM »
Hi,

please implement the "scale" feature into the slideshow panel. I'm still not happy with viewing my images within PM  ::)
Using PM preview is not my solution, because I don't like to see the crop shield.
Using PM slideshow is not my solution, because I don't like to see an image in fullscreen mode on my 26" screen (it's just toooo big).

In the meantime I've to export them to JPEG 1024 Pixel (apply crop & sharpen) and then open all images in Apple Preview app or use Finder slideshow. That looks perfect to me but gives me some more steps of work.

I hope that is not to much work to get implemented soon?  :-*

I'm not sure what you're asking for?  You want the Slideshow to have a box size to scale into for a maximum image size for presentation?

Yes, a black screen with a presentation of 1024 Pixel images in the center would be great (or 800 pixel...etc.).

Hi,

just an update to bring this back to your attention, please. Slideshow in PM seems to be a "stepchild", please implement some scaling features there as well as a "Sharpen" checkbox.

Thank you.

Kind Regards

Klaus

I found a small workaround: within the slideshow dialogue just check "Render Text", keep the text field blank and enter a number of lines, e. g. 16 and, boom, I see smaller versions of my images. OK it's not centered, but it looks much better to me than before  ;D
