project file

[Burgy]

I was under the impression that the project file just contained the info as
to the location of the photos, and not actual photo files. This seems to be
in error. I recently made a photo story in which many of the photos needed
brightness/contrast adjustments. I went through the folder and adjusted the
photos. I can view the photos in Irfanview and they are all fine now.
However, when I run preview on the saved project file, the photos that were
dark before are still dark. Is the saved preview file different than the
project file or am I missing something else. I assumed it would use the
adjusted files. No, there are no copies in the folder where the project
photos are stored. I saved the adjusted files by over writing the originals.
So the preview operation must have saved some copies of them before the
adjustments.

Sorry, I think I know what happened, I had forgotten about the step where
the black border is removed in PS3. I guess the cropped pics would have to
be saved somewhere, so that would explain the question above...

No big deal, I'll just redo the whole thing with the fixed pics.

===========================================
PhotoStory project files include the
source files.

Windows Movie Maker project files
do not include the source files.

Have a look at the following article:

Thanks John, guess I had the two mixed up.

You're welcome.

It's easy to mix them up...
