saving pictures from PPT in TIFF format

[Guest]

When I choose to save a graphics object or PPT slide as a TIFF file, PPT does
not give me any options for TIFF settings (dpi, compression method, etc.).
What does PPT use as default settings? Is there a way to access and change
these defaults?

The same question also applies for JPEG settings.

I am using PPT 2002 (SP3) with Windows XP Pro (SP2).

Michael,

it is possible to improve the quality of the exported bitmaps from
powerpoint... see

Follow the link Taj gave you to learn how to bump the exports up to higher
resolution. That's the only thing you really have any control over.

I'd export at relatively high rez to PNG (PPT does this fairly reliably; the
TIFF filters aren't so trustworthy). Then use any image editor you like or a
batch tool like the extraordinarily capable and useful (and even more
extraordinarily, free) IrfanView (www.irfanview.com) to downsample to final
desired resolution and save to any format you like.

With PPT2002 and up, you'll definitely want to export at high rez and downsample
if you have any text in the file. Between 2000 and 2002, somebody at MS did
naughty things to the pooch and the pooch has been gnawing on the text in bitmap
exports ever since. They can be seriously nasty.

Or you could just use

RnR Image Exporter - http://snipurl.com/imageexporter

I use it all the time.

Thanks TAJ, the export tool recommended does work. But before I purchase
it, I am left wondering if newer versions of PPT support enhanced image
export options that would not require a separate add-in?

Thanks,
Peter
