When creating a presentation to be projected onto a big
screen is it best to use the largest possible .bmp image
or is there a recommended maximum size?
 
You need to know the resolution of the projector, and then use images that
aren't much larger than that resolution. For example, you might have a
projector that can do 1024 x 768 pixels, a standard resolution. Your images
don't need to be any bigger than 1024 x 768, because the extra pixels will
simply be discarded along the way. If your images are a somewhat larger than
that, don't expend a bunch of energy to make them a few percent
smaller...it's not worth the hassle. Just use 'em. :-)

BTW, bmp has no particular advantages, .tif and .jpg and .png are fine, too,
plus all of them are smaller than bmp.
