Chris, Could I get a little help setting up the image files. I don't quite understand how to get the tokens to work and what's displayed on the screen before, during, after pics are taken. My screen size is 1280x1024. Do I need to save all the files: ready.jpg, taken.jpg., etc. to that same size. How do these files work? This is probably a simple question, but I have looked through the help files and can't find anything that makes it sink in.:confused: Thanks for the great software! - - -Tiffiny

The ready.jpg, taking.jpg, 1.jpg, 2.jpg etc. images should be the same size as your screen. If they are too small the remaining area is filled with black and a warning message is displayed in the bottom left corner of the screen.

ok I think I have the different jpgs. figured out. I had made a print out about 6 mo. ago of the help pages. When I re-visited them you'd made some changes that explains it alot better....thanks. I'm still getting this error though and can't get the program to work at all now. I'm using a canon rebel xt and dslr. Am I missing something? I've gotten it work many times and now all of the sudden whatever I do I get this error message:

"mirror lock up can only be used if the shutter is released from the camera"

I have an event this weekend and really could use some help...thanks!

You can't use mirror lockup with the Rebel XT and trigger the camera from the PC. Mirror lock up can be turned off using the custom functions in the camera.
