PowerPoint Shows Using 35mm Slides and Photos

PowerPoint and Image Resolution

To fill a PowerPoint slide edge-to-edge, size your image (in pixels) to match your display resolution.

• Example: for a monitor set to 1024×768, a full-screen image should be at least 1024×768.
• If the image uses half the width and half the height of the slide, size it to about 512×384.
• Our scan files comfortably exceed common display resolutions and look crisp on modern 1080p displays.

PowerPoint Using a Video Projector

When projecting, match your computer’s display resolution to the projector’s native resolution for best results. If your expected display resolution is less than the resolution of our delivered image files, you’re in great shape: you’ll get a sharp, full-screen slide without upscaling artifacts. Today’s HDTV/projector standard is commonly 1920×1080 (1080p), which our scans handle easily.

PowerPoint Tips: Adding Audio to Presentations

• Audio can start at the beginning or mid-show; only one sound plays at a time.
• Go to the slide where audio should begin and choose Insert → Movies and Sounds.
• To record narration, select Record Sound, click the red circle to start and the square to stop.
• To insert existing music or sound effects, choose Sound from File, pick your file, then click OK.
• When asked how the sound should play, select Automatically for hands-free playback.
• A small speaker icon appears on the slide; you may drag it off the slide and audio will still play.
• In PowerPoint 2002/2003: right-click the speaker icon → Custom Animation → select the sound file name → arrow → Effect Options.
• On the Effect tab, choose when the sound should start/stop. To play through the entire show, select After and type 999 slides.
• You can also stop On click or After current slide. Click OK to save.
