Image resampling in PPT?
Greetings all,
Please bear with me as I'm a PPT newbie, trying to help the even more novices in our Marketing Dept. get their presentations ready for distribution via our intranet. The PPTs I'm working with are huge, 20-25mb each. There are a lot of photos in each file, and it appears that when you insert a large photo and then reduce the size it within PPT, it does NOT resample the image. Is this correct? I had a look but I can't find any options or commands to resample the photos down to a reasonable size. Am I missing something, or must each photo be resized and optimized externally, and then inserted? Thanks, and Happy Birthday America! Larry123 |

Am I missing something, or must each photo be resized and optimized externally, and then inserted? That depends.....powerpoint 2002/XP/2003 have an option to "compress pictures". It's on the picture toolbar Powerpoint does not re-sample the image just because you made it smaller by moving the handles. Me personnally....I prefer to optimize the images before they every get into powerpoint via (insert pictures from file) For more background info see Why are my PowerPoint files so big? What can I do about it? http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00062.htm And powerpoint graphics tutorial http://www.powerpointbackgrounds.com...ntgraphics.htm The hardest thing is educating the users!

Thanks for the info TAJ, exactly what I need.

Me personnally....I prefer to optimize the images before they every get into powerpoint via (insert pictures from file) I would add that PP drops them in based on the dpi resolution of the file, not 1:1 on a pixel basis which would give you the ideal size (some pictures can generate alot of moiré if you resample just a little). for a 1024x768 screen, I set the page to 10.24 x 7.68, giving me 100dpi. once I figure out the size I need I resample it and save it at 100dpi -- Marko Jotic, MMCT Holdings Int.

If you are in a hurry, something like NX Powerlite might work for you. It's
available he http://www.nxpowerlite.com/ In the future, be sure to have the marketing people, resample the images before they put them in a presentation, as Taj suggested. When resampling images it is important change the resolution first, then change the dimensions. (If it is done in reverse, the size will change again when the resolution is changed.) Be sure that the same images are not being placed on many slides individually. By placing them on slide masters, you can really reduce file size. Good luck. "Marko" wrote in message ...

I wanted to ask about that, I do that in any case but I was never sure if it stored one or many copies internally. In the same vein, how is it stored internally? is a jpeg expanded on viewing or on insertion? what is the ideal format to insert as a file? do any allow true transparancy masks,as far as I can tell, png has 1 bit masks, which is annoying when you switch backgrounds? -- Marko Jotic, MMCT Holdings Int.

I think the following addresses all your questions:

PPT 2002 allows multiple masters.
