I am using Photo Story 3 to put together a DVD of black and white photographs
that will be displayed on television. The results so far are unsatisfactory -
blotchy photos, fragmentation on the television. It looks fine on the
computer, but not the tv. Here are my questions:
- I have scanned these photos at 300 dpi and save at jpeg 90 percent. Should
I scan at higher dpi? Should I skip the jpeg and go to tiff?
- Should I skip photo story 3 and use a program meant for dvd production. I
am now saving the file and importing it into windows movie maker, and then
producing the dvd with MYDVD which readers movie maker files. (it will not
directly work with the new version of photo story).
- Finally, in reading the web site www.papajohn.org, I see there is a
reference to saving photos as interlaced versus non-interlaced for use on the
television. The workaround is complicated and I would rather use a program
that automatically takes care of everything. One problem with photo story 3,
which I otherwise like a lot, is that it is not meant for dvd or svcd
production. (It even eliminated the vcd function that was in the earlier
version).
Finally, the Microsoft web site indicates you can use photo story 3 for more
than a single-point pan and scan. i.e., in the photo of Italy, it goes to
several points on the photo. But you cannot do this in photo story 3 as far
as I can tell, which makes me wonder if I'm missing something or if Microsoft
used some other program to demonstrate what photo story 3 (can't) do. I can
only go from Point A to Point B in photo story 3, if you folow me.
This project means a lot to me and I would appreciate any and all
suggestions. Thank you.
