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.
 
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.
 
the image is 150 dpi...could there be a communication problem between
programs seeing as though i am running powerpoint 2002 which is an xp program
in windows 2000 processing system?

What res do you have specified on the 4x6 image? 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.
