Photo Story 3 Image quality

[seesaw]

I saved a PowerPoint presentation as jpeg. Then I added these images to a
slide show. They look great on my screen, but after they are compressed for
e-mail, the final product appears blurry. I tried compressing the pictures
used on the slides, but this did not seem to reduce the overall file size. I
also selected the highest resolution before I saved the show. Any
suggestions?

===================================
Compressing for e-mail reduces the resolution
and will make it look blurry. Small file size equals
low resolution.

Saving for 'Playback on your computer' may be
a better choice.

On the 'Save Your Story' screen if you click the
'Settings' button you will find several choices....
Or you might even consider using a Custom Profile.
Have a look at the following article:

If the better quality file is too large for e-mail...you
might consider uploading it to a site like one of
the following and send your recipients the download
link.
