MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / July 2007unwanted resizing of images
When i insert a jpeg into powerpoint the original size of the jpeg changes from what it was actually saved at. A 4x4 jpg will become 6.5x6.5 for example. This really is a problem when you are trying to bring a drawing into powerpoint at a certain scale. Any suggestions? I don't understand the problem. For instance, if you have your image at the 4x4, and you project it on a screen 10 feet away and then on a screen 20 feet away, it will be much larger. > When i insert a jpeg into powerpoint the original size of the jpeg changes > from what it was actually saved at.

For example: Ive been working on a picture in photoshop...the image size is 4x6...i save it as a jpeg then try and insert it into powerpoint....it inserts the jpeg as a 5.67x7.93... The scale issue: I want to insert the picture at 4x6 so i know what scale the drawing is at when i bring it into powerpoint. > I don't understand the problem.

That is, how many pixels per inch? Try 102.4 for the ppi setting.

Bitmap image sizing is largely imaginary and some bitmap formats don't even carry sizing information at all. I suspect JPG is one. Try setting the size you want the software to pretend the image is, then save in a format that *can* retain that information. Try TIFF. See if that works better. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ |
