|
Compressing Images (NEW) |
PowerPoint 2002 now includes an image-editing feature
that allows you to change the resolution (dpi, or dots per inch) of a
graphic. This feature can eliminate the necessity of first editing your
images to make them smaller in size— using applications such as Adobe Photoshop or Macromedia Fireworks— before inserting them into your presentation. Changing the resolution of an image is especially important when you intend to view the presentation on-screen rather than making print-outs since computer screens can only display images at 72 dpi, even if the image 300 dpi. Removing the extra resolution data makes your file smaller and more manageable without compromising the quality of the image. |
üSelect the image you want to compress. üIn the Picture toolbar (View -> Toolbars ->Picture), select the Compress icon . The Compress Pictures window will appear  üIn Apply to, choose whether to apply the compression to all the pictures in the presentation or just the selected one. üIn Change Resolution, select the Web/Screen option if you will be primarily displaying your presentation on screen or on the web. üIn Options, check the Compress pictures box. If you have cropped the image using the Crop tool in the Picture toolbar, you can also select the option to delete any information that has been cropped from your picture. |
