- | * //This forces PicturesToExe to unload the preview of a slideshow in the main window when the user opens the Objects and animation editor. When the editor is closed, PicturesToExe automatically activates the preview in the main window again. This reduces usage of video memory on some old video cards, but it slightly delays opening/ | ||

- | ====== Colour Management ====== | ||
- | |||
- | PicturesToExe 9 now includes full colour management. | ||
- | |||
- | * Support of embedded colour profiles in JPEG and PNG images. | ||
- | |||
- | * Support of colour space of a monitor (output): | ||
- | |||
- | * sRGB (by default) | ||
- | |||
- | * Current monitor profile | ||
- | |||
- | * Adobe RGB | ||
- | |||
- | * Custom ICC/ICM profile | ||
- | |||
- | * You can use command line parameters for live control of colour management in created EXE presentations: | ||
- | |||
- | -noicc - disable colour management and colour profiles of images (works as PTE 8). | ||
- | |||
- | -icc srgb - use sRGB colour space | ||
- | |||
- | -icc adobergb - use AdobeRGB colour space | ||
- | |||
- | -icc - use current monitor profile | ||
- | |||
- | -icc profilename.icc/ | ||
- | |||
- | * So this gives you great possibilities. For example, people send EXE presentations to a camera club for AV competition. If you have a calibrated AdobeRGB projector, you can force to run these EXE presentations in Adobe RGB colour space with wide-gamut. It will give excellent results, if AV authors will use Adobe RGB images in EXE files. | ||

- | * PicturesToExe performs colour managements for all objects (images, videos, text, rectangles, background). | ||
