projection show

[Pam]

Using PP2003. I have done a few presentations on the computer and they work
fine. I am about to do my first one using a projector for a group. Is
there a minimum size/dpi/resolution that I need to make my graphics so they
show up correctly on the screen when they are projected?
Thanks,
Pam

(1) Ignore DPI
(2) Check the resolution of your projector; it is likely 1024x768 or 800x600.
(3) If you want full-screen pictures, make them as close to those numbers as
possible.
(4) If you want the pictures to take up a portion of your screen, scale
those numbers accordingly (e.g., you can make a 1/4-screen picture 400x300 on
an 800x600 projector).
(5) You don't need your pictures any bigger than the maximum number of
pixels that your computer and/or projector can show. That 5 megapixel camera
is useless for projecting on an 800x600 projector and/or monitor because
800x600 is less than 1/2 megapixel.
