I am working on a slide show and I have transitions, but on some slides, when
it changes it take a couple of seconds to show the pictures and then it
changes fast and the whole picture doesnt show. Please help, im on a
deadline!

THNX!
 
Try compressing the photos. How you get to the compression tool in PPT
depends on the version of PPT you have...

PowerPoint responsibly,

I must disagree with Sandy -- Your computer still has to decompress the
images, and that takes time and resources as well.

I would use (for example) Photoshop to adjust two things: One is cut the
resolution until you've given up all the clarity you can withstand; the other
is to size your pictures (again, in Photoshop) so that on the slide they are
100% size.

But before you do anything, keep a set as backup in something like TIFF, NOT
JPEG. Every time you save a JPEG you cut its quality just a bit, and you
want to have a nice set of full-size, original-resolution pictures to have on
hand.
 
Hi Tami,

Any chance that you copied and pasted your images from say, a PDF file? In
that case, try this: Cut each image, then repaste (Edit > Paste Special) as
it as a png. Then use the compression tool.

Tim's suggestion is a good one. I try to provide suggestions that are
*PowerPoint capable* -- just in case you don't have photo-editing software.

There is some basic editing software in Windows, isn't there? (I use a Mac.)
