Powerslide Module First Transiton is to Black

I need to have smooth fades from one image to the next. On the PowerSlide Free module, the first time it loads in Firefox web browser the initial image loads but then fades to black before loading the next image? After this has occurred the module works fine and I get smooth fades from one image to another.

Why does the first image loaded fade straight to black? Is this a pre-load issue?

I had used the slide show from Joomlart and no issues, except that it loads all slides at once and I trying to get a reasonable load time on my page.

fizz replied Try optimizing your image

I have noticed that before as well, but what I noticed was the main factors was resizing of images - the smaller and more optimized your images are the easier they are to load...

You see - Power Slide loads ahead as you view the galleries - we did this on purpose so that if you have a slide show of 100 images then it does not try and load all 100 before showing you anything in order to give you a smooth ride.

What Power Slide will try do is load the first image and the upcoming 2 for example - BUT if the first and second image are not optimized then when the transition time runs out (like 3 seconds for example) it will fade to black while loading the next image.

So it is basically choosing the best solution, which I think we have - definitely try optimizing your image file sizes and transition times, thats what I did
