I am of the old school and am used to giving slide shows using real slides so, before I put a digi show together, can anyone advise me what is optimum size for projecting digi pics ?
e.g. 100dpi. 4Mb or 2Mb or 72 dpi or ???

Many thanx guys. :confused:

If you already know the native resolution of the projector you'll use - size your images to that. Otherwise, 800x600 or 1024x768 are usually good bets. Use high quality JPGs for speed. Size will vary based on how compressible the image is. DPI only matters for printing.
