If you do not have any software to create a slide show..you can download a
free evaluation copy of Paint Shop Photo Album 5.

This is a link to the page where they mention Slide Shows.

You can do what you need to do during the evaluation period as I assume the
memorial service will be pretty soon.
I have this software and have done a few slide shows. It is a matter of
getting the pictures in the size and order you want them..putting them into
the album... (very easy.. you just point it to the folder where you have the
photos) and then just create the album. There are some photo enhancing
tools in this product also.
Here is a link to tutorials on how to use the software.

Hope this helps.....

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

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
