Slide show

[Jeff M.]

When I view slide shows I have created, in full screen
mode, the pictures are all blurry. I am using pictures
from a 4.1 meg digital camera on its highest setting. Is
there a setting I need to change or should I buy a better
program.
Thanks,
Jeff

MM is resizing your 4.1 Megapixel down to 640x480 (or smaller) and then
compressing that resized image. With all that decimation and compression,
there is no way it will look as good as your original.

You may want to try resizing the image to 640x480 before you import it into
MM, using a quality image editing application, or the Windows XP Image
Resizer PowerToy. You might get better results that way.

Thanks for the advice. I will give that a try and post

my results for you.
