high res. jpegs in power point

[BSG]

How do I change the resolution of the jpegs in a powerpoint resolution.
Currently they are 72 ppi but each one is 4.8 MB. Do I have to redo
everything in Photoshop or can I change it in Powerpoint.
Thanks for your help.

BSG,

It's not about ppi it's about pixels. See

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

Nice... I like the tutorial They should emphasize though that it's
not the resolution of your screen that really matters at the end... It's
the resolution you get through the Video projector )

In other words, if you know that in advance, you set up for the VP's
resolution, then set the screen to match. Yep.

One other note on the subject-

In order to be 4.8 MB @ 72 ppi, the print dimensions of each image file
would translate to ± 22"x15", even as jpegs. Remember that "shrinking"
the images in PPt doesn't make the image, itself, any smaller.

FWIW, Use PhotoShop to reduce the Document Size of each image to ±
3"x2" while maintaining the resolution @ 72-96 ppi (note the radical
drop in pixel dimension as you do), then place the new versions in your
presentation file.

BTW, The 72-96 ppi is assuming that the presentation is being delivered
on-screen. Print or 35mm output would require much higher resolution,
but keep the Document Size geared to the amount of space the image is
intended to occupy on a slide. |:>)
