To get you started on your quest! I don't think the size of the pictures (kb) matters at all in relation to the projector, but if you have uncompressed pictures they will be better quality than compressed ones - so use the biggest ones you have. What will matter is the size (pixels) of the picture. A standard projector will be 4:3 (height 3/4 of width) So try to crop all your pictures to match - 800x600 or 1024x768. You can do this now and by the time you have your pictures correctly sized, someone better at slide shows than me can talk you through that part. Remember if not sure to copy all the needed pictures and crop/resize the copies keeping the originals safe Regards Chris callto://spotta/ chris@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.spotta.com -----Original Message----- From: pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Glo Sent: 10 August 2005 08:00 To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Help with Pictures on CD Hi Group, What I'm trying to do is use pictures from my computer and also some older photos that I'll scan, and put them on a CD. The CD will be used in a memorial service for a loved one; it will be projected on a screen and played throughout the service as a slide show. I'm not at all proficient in this area and don't really know where to begin. I think my first question is how big the pictures should be in terms of kb in order to project in relation to the size of the screen. This is a regular movie screen that pulls down from the ceiling. I'm not even sure if I'm asking the right question here, but is there anyone who knows a lot about this subject who could possibly advise me? I suppose this can get pretty complicated and I would welcome any help off list as well, my email addy is redowl@xxxxxxxxxxxx . I don't know how much time we have, but I'm trying to do this while I still have my wits about me (somewhat). I REALLY need some help with this! TIA ~Glo -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
