MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / August 2006Why is the picture quality reduced when I save a presentation?
In powerpoint 2007 beta, when I save a presentation in pptx format, the quality of all the pictures in the presentation is automatically reduced. Why and how can I prevent this? > In powerpoint 2007 beta, when I save a presentation in pptx format, the > quality of all the pictures in the presentation is automatically reduced. > Why > and how can I prevent this? Compress Pictures is turned on by default in PPT 2007. This is by design. (Bad design, as far as I'm concerned. I can tell this is going to become a frequently asked question.) To turn it off, select a picture, click "compress pictures" on the Picture ribbon, click Options, and then uncheck "automatically perform basic compression on save. Either that, or set the target output to screen.

Sept 17-20, 2006 http://www.pptlive.com I don't understand why this should be the default, it really reduces the quality of the pictures very much. Anyway, it worked, thanks very much! >I don't understand why this should be the default, it really reduces the > quality of the pictures very much. Anyway, it worked, thanks very much! The default setting is supposed to be 220 pixels per inch, so it shouldn't affect the presentation much. 220 is way more than you need for on-screen -- most (all?) projectors can't display at that high a resolution anyway. But I'm with you, I don't particularly like it being the default.

Sure, but if you pop in the picture then later need to enlarge it, PPT will have already autoshredded it for you. Cast my vote for: > But I'm with you, I don't particularly like it being the default. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ |
