Ricky Parker Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I can't get my picture at the right size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwertz Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Ricky Parker wrote: I can't get my picture at the right size.An image size of 800 x 600 pixels works pretty well. When I load the picture I increase the resolution of the grid two or three times (by pressing the + button).Also, if you hide the controls on the animation window the image will resize to fit the window. You hide the controls by pressing the green double left arrow in the upper left corner.See also: iresq (above) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBMacon Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Does LOR have the ability to load a photo of you house yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ainsworth Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Yes you can. Bring up the animation and at the bottom on the left it has background image. Choose select, go to your picture file, and it will bring the picture in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ainsworth Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I believe that is a personal choice. I am new to LOR, but I have found that it has everything I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judy Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 How exactly does the visualizer work. I opened mus. sequence, then View - show audio visualizations and all I get is a small screen at top left of desktop with some weird LOR video.Any help is appreciated.Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motorcycle jack Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I played with Holidaysoft visualizer earlier this year and just downloaded it again to see what's changed. I believe this is a case of software being WAY to complicated to achieve what it needs to do. Lots of bells, whistles, controls but even my being a network engineer/former programmer, I found that it is not very intuitive to use or learn. I think it is more geared towards professional show designers than us yard designers. Do I really want all that complexity or just be able to design some sequences and have an idea what they will look? For me putting a picture in LOR so I can see what it will look like is enough. JMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowardShank Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I like Holiday Light Designer.Unfortunately they raised the price this year and there is no announced date for any upgrade beyond "next year". The last fix/upgrade was January 2009 I think.It has problems with resources and can be slow and sluggish.Here's a pic of what my layout looks like.

chartrand Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Yeah I purchased HLD before the price jumped, but I don't use it because it's not very easy to use. I tried to do some arches and nearly lost my mind doing so. I did some reading and as it turns out you need to know something like photo shop to create your designs and then import them into HLD. I do like how you can move things around though, if LOR only had cut and paste in the visualizer I would be most happy.-Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
