In that case, saying you don't understand the responses you've received is a
good idea rather than just repeating your question -- otherwise you'll
continue to get the same responses that you don't understand.
DPI doesn't really matter. If you take a 1-inch by 1-inch image and set it
to 300 DPI (or PPI -- pixels per inch), you have 300 pixels X 300 pixels to
work with. If you take that 1-inch by 1-inch image and set it to 96 DPI,
then you have only 96 pixels X 96 pixels to work with. You need an inch
measurement to go along with DPI or PPI in order to make it meaningful.
We don't care about the DPI with PowerPoint -- we care about how many pixels
you have to work with. A projected screen is generally 1024 x 768 pixels.
Forget the inches. So if you have 768 pixels on the height side, then you
have enough to size the image to the height of the screen (which is the same
as the height of the slide) without it becoming blurry.
How big is your image in inches? If you tell us that, we can tell you what
DPI setting to use to get enough pixels. Otherwise, we'll tell you to make
sure the image has 768 pixels (or thereabouts) on the height side.

But, I don't understand . In some places it says that the resolution
should
be at 96dpi and in others it says at 300. How does this work? What is the
dpi
I should use for my horizontal and my vertical images that I will be
saving
at the sizes you recommend as 1024x 768 hz and 768 x whatever they suggest
for the vertical ones.

You've received responses both times you've posted this previously.

How many dpi should I have for optimum projection of my images in a
power
point presentation? I use both horizontal and vertical format and so
would
need to know the best for both. The images have been taken in RAW, and
converted to large jpegs.
