Proshow gold photodex, help plese..

[zibbyk]

I have a problem with the qulity of the pictures I load to to proshow.
They are not sharp, out of focus as I look them in preview window and when playing slideshow.
I tried pictures from LR when I export them and save as jpeg high quality, and also tried jpeg from camera which ware set on high quality (nether one look good).
When I open those pictures in explorer they look great and sharp.
I tried on two diffrent computers with lcd monitors, still the same.

Thank you

i use it all the time. i think when you look at the final output, like a DVD, it will look fine. it the preview window, it may not look real good.

Are you talking about the preview window, a DVD, an mpeg video, or an exe show? The preview's irrelevant. DVDs are quite low res by modern standards, and proshow is only average at making them. exe and mpeg shows look great.

If you have the show set for a DVD (TV playback) and view it on a PC it will not look good. Save it as either a PC Executable or Auto Run CD for the highest quality PC viewing. Also be sure to check your quality settings.

Tim!
I am talking about right top window when the picture show up as you click on the thumbnails on the left. Also when click play slide show it turned to full screen and the pictures were not sharp (soft).
I tought I can just save as video file and keep on the PC and did not have to load DVD every time, but if not possible to save as good quality I will tried on DVD with high settings.
By the way what is EXE

Thank you

Don't worry about how it looks within proshow, it's how the generated slide show looks that's important.

EXE show is one of the output options - an exe is an executable file, on windows only.

I found the problem.
Need to go to edit then change resolution to match my screen .
It works great ,now super clear pictures.


Thank you everybody for help.

Proshow does the resizing for you, you don't need to do it yourself. I resize to about 1000 pixels wide for DVD shows, just to give proshow smaller files to work with.
