Just purchased "Picture Box" by Cool Creators.

However, I just don't get it. How do you import 1 or more (up to 20) separate JPG pics into the Picture Box? I've looked at the timeline but don't see any way to import them. Also, I don't see any "import" box that imports pics on the "Modify" menus. Am I missing something?

Please let me know.

Hi Spanky.
Just bought it myself and suggest you try the following: (please note - this is from memory but I think it is correct).
Ensure you select a preferred graphics programme in iClone under Preferences.
Open the Picture box 'Project'. Click on the box and 'ADD' as a Prop.
Start a new project or add the 'new' prop to an existing project.
Go to Modify - Defuse - Launch. This should open all 21 .jpeg's in picture box.
Modify each pict to your own requirements and "Save as" or "Save as a copy" depending on your programme - overwriting the original. Ensure each are saved as .jpegs and the "copy" on your filename's are deleted to overwrite.
Go back to iClone and in Modify click the update button. That should do it.
You can then save as an additional prop should you wish to - to build up various 'picture boxes' instead of altering every time.
Hope this helps.

Hi If you look at the read me within the zip files if I am right it tells you that you need to use a photo editor.

So bring in your picture box into the scene, then go to diffuse launch photoshop or whatever you use will then open 21 images you replace with your choice and save then update and the box will then do a slide show displaying your images.

gizmo and I posted at the same time but answer your request the same.



Hope that helps.

Thanks for your timely advice. At first, I was a bit confused. Mostly because I choose to use Adobe as my graphics program. After getting several "errors" when trying to copy over and replace the PicBox Diffuse files in the IClone Temp directory, I switched to another graphics program and did not have this error. After a little experimenting everything came together rather well. Now, I'm a happy camper. Thank you Gizmo and Dutchess for your advice.
