photo size

What image size and/or resolution do photos need to be in
a PowerPoint presentation for good quality projection on a
large screen?

Thanks Susan

Susan,

In short.....they need to have the same amount of pixels as the resolution of the projector (anything more is
overkill/bloat/bigfiles).

In long... http://www.powerpointbackgrounds.com/powerpointgraphics.htm

Think PIXELS

A few articles that may help:

That last one is just right for your situation. Also:

Scanning - Bitmap Resolution - DPI

What's all this about DPI and INCHES and RESOLUTION?
