| How to resize all images and pictures in proportion in your presentation? |
|
|
|
When resizing any image, picture, or element in PowerPoint you may want to resize all the images and graphical elements in your PowerPoint presentation at the same time to ensure that they remain the same size in relationship with each other. You can achieve this by making sure that when you resize any element, that you also resize everything else at once.
For example, if you have 3 images, and 2 graphic elements that you have to resize, but must stay the same size in relation to each other:
- Select the first image that you wish to resize.
- Hold down the Shift key.
- Click on the other 2 images.
- Still holding the Shift key, also click on the 2 graphical elements.
- Drag your mouse in the direction you wish to increase or decrease the size of the image, and the other slected items will also scale accordingly.

| How to optimize scanned photos for PowerPoint? |
|
|
|
When using scanned photos in Microsoft PowerPoint, it is important to remember that the greater the image size, the longer PowerPoint will need to load and display the iamge.
Often when scanning images, the scanners settings are set to 300dpi or greater. While this is recommended for print and hard copy output, it is far in excess to the needs of your presentation for screen. For whilst printing below 300dpi can often cause problems with the photographic quality of output, your monitor and screen does not display to greater resolutions above 72dpi. In other words, all images with a resolution greater than 72dpi are not optimized for screen use, and cause in effect applications such as PowerPoint to use ore processing power and time to load and display them than otherwise necessary.
A great tip for all presenters is to make sure that images and content graphics are saved at 72dpi. This will make presentations load faster and run smoother, making accurate timings and pacing of the presentation possible.
To optimize any scanned photo in PowerPoint:
- Open the photo or graphic within an image editor such as Adobe Photoshop, or Paint Shop Pro.
- Select Image Size from the main menu option Image.
- Note the Width and Height of your photo under Pixel Dimensions.
- In the Resolution field write 72, and select pixels/ inch from the pull down menu to its right.
- Notice the Width and Height numbers have changed. To maintain the photo's size write in the Width and Height details which you noted earlier.
- Click Ok.
- Choose Save As from the File main menu option, and save your image. The image is now at the same aspect ration and size as it was earlier, only optimized for PowerPoint and screen use.
- Import the photo into PowerPoint.
Though this may seem additional work, the results are very impressive, reducing the size of your photo images without decreasing their onscreen quality, and increasing the speed and reducing the loading time of your presentation.
