help with conversion tool - won't communicate with PS

I downloaded the file for the conversion tool for Windows. I have used it in the past...a year ago...on another computer, but I when I try to load it on this computer it says "couldn't communicate with Photoshop." Any recommendation?

I have a science field day event or 4th and 5th graders on Saturday and was hoping to update my slideshow for this year.

I may have downloaded an older version. I just discovered the atn files, but I am now getting and error when I try to play the action - the images do not look correct and at first it said "the objects action 200% scale is not currently available."

Hi Kimberly.

I just noticed your post about the PowerPoint Dome Template.

If you look on the GitHub page for the project and read the documentation the topics "Photoshop Actions Installation" and "Creating a Droplet", you should be able to get things running on your system with the exact version of Photoshop you have installed.

There are sample JPEG images provided in the "Notes/Slide Export Samples/powerpoint slides/" folder which you can use to test if the conversions are working as expected.
