In creating PowerPoint presentations you may want to use digital images that you have scanned or taken with a digital camera, received from someone else, or found on the web. By gaining an understanding of such things as resolution, bit depth, file size and color modes, you will better be able to use these images correctly and efficiently in your presentations. Even if you have someone else create or work with the digital images for you, having a basic understanding of the concepts will help you to obtain exactly what you want and need to create your presentation. In this presentation I will explain what resolution is, how to work with it, show and define bit depth, explain how to control the size of your image files, and define what color models are.

This presentation explains only resolution as it pertains to digital images for digital display -- .meaning for 35mm slides or onscreen shows. It does not cover resolution issues for printing to a laser printer, large format printer or to a printer used by professional print houses.
