Presentation resolution

What is the correct resolution for presenting a slide show using a lap top and projector?
Thank you

Depends on the native resolution of your projector. I have found that 1024x768 will work best on most projectors unless you are using quite an old one.

  • How do I set the default presentation resolution to 1028x768?

    I looked in the help files and there was no mention.

    Whenever you open a new presentation you will get a choice at the bottom left of the window for the size.
    Once you have made your selection, every consecutive starting of a new presentation should be set to whatever your last presentation was. (if your last was 800x600 then your next should be 800x600)
    If you wanted to change your presentation to 800x600 after discovering it was 1024x768 you can change the values in the first inspector on the left, the Document Inspector. There is a value there for Slide Size.

  • Photosmart 6520 scanning function failed

    The scanning function (both from the pc and from the scanner itself) has failed. It seems to make all the right noises, then the message 'now copying page 1/1' shows on the display for sometime, until it is replaced by 'cancelling', then the scan fails. It may or may not be in warranty, but it has been impossible to dispute the status of the warranty as that section on the HP website isn't working. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    Hey @fearless_fred,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forum!  I understand your HP Photosmart 6520 e-All-in-One Printer's software and front panel scanning functionality has ceased.  I would like to assist you with this.  I have some steps that may resolve the issue.  
    I recommend approaching the problem from a hardware perspective first.  Try performing a hard reset:
    Next, try making a copy from the printer's front panel.  If it fails as before, move onto the next step and restore your printer to factory defaults:
    From your printer's front panel:
    Touch the wrench icon
    Touch Tools
    Touch Restore Factory Defaults
    Once the restore is completed, you'll have to reconnect your printer to the wireless network (if you're a wireless user) and re-enable webservices (if you're an ePrint, scan to email or Printables user).  If you are able to make a copy successfully it would make sense to troubleshoot the printer's software setup and restore your scan to computer functionality.  (Further steps posted below)
    If you're still unable to make a copy, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.
    http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-phone-assist.html
    With respect to your concerns about warranty, our technical support via phone can check your printer's warranty status and present resolution options accordingly. 
    If you have copy functionality click here to install the HP Print and Scan Doctor.  When running this utility be sure to click your way through the scanning troubleshooting flows.  If that doesn't restore your software scanning functionality, click here for access to additional troubleshooting steps. 
    Please let me know the result of your troubleshooting by responding to this post.  Best of luck!

  • Taskbar gone when i put it at the bottom on screen. help me???

    I'm use window 7 starter pack for netbook.
    The problem is my taskbar out of screen when i put it at the bottom on screen. If i set at up on screen it can be visible.
    and also happen when i open folder at  maximize , the part of bottom folder out of screen ( can't visible / not fit my netbook screen)
    the point of my problem i think is my windows display out of my bottom netbook screen.
    i already reiinstall the windows software and update windows, but it still not work out.
    can somebody or someone help me...
    many thanks before.

    Hi meysia,
    The main issue is we won`t see the taskbar if we locate it at the bottom of the screen ,right ?
    Did the issue occur recently or it shows the symptom all the time ?
    If the issue occurred recently ,I recommend you reinstall your display adapters driver from the device manager .You may need to manually download the driver from the manufacturer for the netbook.
    What is the present resolution of the netbook ?
    We can change the resolution of the machine to have a check .
    Right click the desktop , choose "Screen resolution","Resolution"
    If the issue persists and it occured recently ,we can perform a system restore to recover the machine to a previous normal point .Please note you will lose some configurations after the restore point.
    Best regards

    I would appreciate it if someone could advise me as to the optimum resolution, dimensions and dpi for actual photographic slides that I am scanning for use in a Keynote Presentation, that will be projected in a large auditorium. I realize that most projectors in auditoriums that I will be using have 1024 x 1200 pixels, and possibly 1600 x 1200. There is no reference to this issue in the Keynote Tutorial supplied by Apple, and I have never found a definitive answer to this issue online (although there may be one).
                Here’s my question: When scanning my photographic slides, what setting, from 72 dpi to 300 dpi, would result in the best image quality and use up the most efficient amount of space? 
                Here’s what two different photo slide scanning service suppliers have told me: 
    Supplier No. 1 tells me that they can scan slides to a size of 1544 x 1024 pixels, at 72 dpi, which will be 763 KB, and they refer to this as low resolution (a JPEG). However, I noticed when I looked at these scanned slides, the size of the slides varied, with a maximum of 1.8 MB. This supplier says that the dpi doesn’t matter when it comes to the quality of the final digital image, that it is the dimensions that matter.  They say that if they scanned a slide to a higher resolution (2048 x 3072), they would still scan it at 72 dpi.
    Supplier No. 2: They tell me that in order to have a high quality image made from a photographic slide (starting with a 35 mm slide, in all cases), I need to have a “1280 pixel dimension slide, a JPEG, at 300 dpi, that is 8 MB per image.” However, this supplier also offers, on its list of services, a “Standard Resolution JPEG (4MB file/image – 3088 x 2048), as well as a “High Resolution JPEG (8 MB file/image – 3088x2048).
    I will be presenting my Keynotes with my MacBook Pro, and will not have a chance to try out the presentations in advance, since the lecture location is far from my home, so that is not an option. 
    I do not want to use up more memory than necessary on my laptop.  I also want to have the best quality image. 
    One more question: When scanning images myself, on my own scanner, for my Keynote presentations, would I be better off scanning them as JPEGs or TIFFs? I have been told that a TIFF is better because it is less compressed. 
    Any enlightenment on this subject would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    When it comes to Keynote, I try and start with a presentation that's 1680 x 1050 preset or something in that range.  Most projectors that you'll get at a conference won't project much higher than that and if they run at a lower resolution, it's better to have the device downsize your Keynote.  Anything is better than having the projector try and upsize your presentation... you work hard to make it look good, and it's mangled by some tired Epson projector.
    As far as slides go, scan them in at 150 dpi or better, and make them at least the dimensions of your presentation.  Keynote is really only wanting 72dpi, but I do them at 150, just in case I need to print out the presentation as a handout later, and having the pix at 150 dpi gives me a little help with their quality on a printer.
    You'd probably have to drop in the 150 versions again if you output the Keynote to .pdf or Word or something, but at least you have the option.
    And Gary's right (above) go ahead and scan them as TIFFs.  Sooner or later you'll want to do something else with these slides (like make something for an iPad or the like) and having them as TIFFs keeps your presentation looking good.
    Finally, and this is a big one, get to the location for your presentation ahead of time if you can, and plug the laptop in and see what you get.  There's always connection problems. Don't let the AV bonehead tell you everything will work just fine ('... I don't have any adapters for a Mac...') .  See it for yourself... you're the one that's standing up there.  Unless it's your boss, then you better be really sure it works.

  • Presentation Director: Perpetual Error Message about Color + Resolution

    I got my Presentation Director installed but now everytime I try to switch to my Dell 2405FPW through DVI, Presentation Director gives me an error that says "unable to display current settings. check resolution and color depth."  However, it still displays the 1920x1200 resolution at 32 bit color - it just displays that error message when I try to use that profile - then Presentation Director just crashes completely ....
    In addition, when I try to recreate my docked DVI profile, sometimes it allows me to output 1920, but sometimes it only allows me to select 1280x1024 from the drop down list... it's very buggy. 
    How do I go about fixing this?

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Okay, here's how it works.  I think this works ... please someone try to verify. 
    To create the DVI output (docked) profile
    1.  Plug the laptop into the dock
    2.  Disable the nview plugin (right mouse click desktop > nview properties > disable all)
    3.  Enable both the laptop LCD and external LCD
    4.  Set the external LCD as secondary (extend desktop to this screen)
    5.  set the laptop LCD as primary (extend desktop to this screen and set as primary monitor)
    6.  Open presentation director and create a new profile
    7.  Select DVI output only and select resolution (up to 1920x1200 should be available now)
    8.  Test the setting
    To update the profile for "my normal display settings"
    9.  Disable the external LCD (uncheck "extend desktop onto this monitor")
    10.  Set the appropriate resolution for the laptop LCD (sometimes after running Presentation director, it gets all weird)
    11.  Select "my normal display settings"
    12.  Click "capture" 
    That should do it .... what a pain though.

    I am facing to open slide presentation, appear a pop up saying my resoluition is not correct. I had tried all resolution but I keep not abble to view my photos in slide presentaion. What Could  be this problem? This started after I update the Iphoto. I have a Mac Mini 2010, and have the latest IOS and Iphoto software.

    looks like this is your network connection settings problem, you'd better only keep one network adaptor online and linked, if you do not understand how to setup windows routing, this is completely not firefox problem. buddy. wish you goodluck.

  • Resolution dependend presentation problems...

    hi,
    i have this long lasting problem with acrobat since cs2/cs3.
    we use pdfs as container format for our screen design presentations. our screen designs are 72 ppi bitmaps.
    now the problem:
    since acrobat cs2/cs3, these images looks blurry in acrobat even in 100% view. this is because acrobat has this new preference setting under "page display" called "resolution". here the default is set to "use system setting", which in my case is 99 ppi.
    the result is that our 72 ppi screen designs got interpolated to 99 ppi by acrobat even at 100% view. since most users have different system settings, there is no way to control the appearance of our 72 ppi bitmaps.
    do you guys know of a way to circumvent this problem?
    one way i can think of is to use javascript to set the clients acrobat software to "custom resolution" with 72 ppi. but i have no idea how to do that.
    if i can't find a solution for this problem, i have to look into other ways for presentation.
    best regards,
    marc

    thank you for the answer.
    unfortunaly this is no solution for me. the result would be a change in the whole production process to bigger files and slower performance. only because of a new acrobat feature.
    i wonder if scripting could be a solution...
    maybe i will post this in the acrobat scripting forum.

  • Flash business presentation- Screen resolution help.....

    Here's the deal. I'm creating a presentation on my laptop
    which has a 1440x900 resolution. Now, once it's hooked up to the
    projector, the projector automatically changes my screen res to
    1024x768, which completely distorts everything and it gets blurry
    and not visually appealing.
    What I'd like to do is to figure out a way around this. Like
    maybe some way to reduce my screen res to 1024x768, but maintain
    proportions with black borders like on a DVD that's been formatted
    to fit your screen. Something like that. Can anybody think of
    anything?
    Thanks in advance.

    Flash can read the screen resolution by calling to:
    System.capabilities.screenResolutionX //(and/or Y)
    but it will not read the size of the browser window itself.
    You may want to consider using a standard proportion and setting
    the swf to scale accordingly.

    When I try to print my book, I receive the following error message:  One or more of the images in your book are not presently available at full resolution. Please reconnect to these files by mounting the volume(s) containing the original images.  I don't understand what this means since all the photos are in the book.  Can someone please clarify?

    When you look at the images in the browser, do you see any arrow icons on your thumbnails? Like these:
    When you import your images from a folder on your system drive, you have two ways to import:
    Managed: Import and store the images in the library
    Or referenced: Leave the images in the folder outside the Aperture library.
    This is controlled by the "Store Files" settings in the Import panel:
    If you did not set "Store files" to "In the Aperture Library", the originals will stay in the folder outside.
    The error message you get, suggests that Aperture assumes the original files are in a folder outside the library.
    Select one of your images in the Browser and use the command "File > Show in Finder" - is this command available or dimmed out?

  • Scaling presentations for projectors with different resolutions.

    Dear All:
    While in the process of creating a few presentations it occurred to me that I will be displaying it using different projectors in different venues. My current presentations have slide with a native resolution of 1400x1050 created for a Canon HD projector. I will soon be presenting with a newer Canon 1920x1200 projector but would like to retain the ability to project using lower resolution projectors so I don't have to depend on a new technology that most venues still don't offer.
    Question: What should I do to ensure that my presentations are "universal" and can be displayed anywhere ? In case I create a presentation for the highest resolution (1920x1200) will lower resolution displays be able to scale it down and display it ? In this case will the quality be good, acceptable of just plain bad ? Are there any alternatives to this dilemma ?
    Thank you in advance,
    Joseph

    Absenting any post-keynote software or hardware resizing, there no way I know to make them universal as such. 1920x1200 will output that image size. 1400x1050 that size. There's a few ways to look at it and go about it. Perhaps read following thread then ask some more if still not clear.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9204982&#9204982
    As for hardware resizing in the projector or video hardware with so much gear of different makes out there who can predict how it will end up. Other's here would have some more experience with trying that out though.

  • Running a presentation via VGA out with Firefox/Safari open. When I hit 'esc' to come out of slideshow, monitor stated resolution too low. Now Safari and Firefox browsers are still open, but I can't see the browser window on either. Ideas?

    If you use Lion, go to Applications/ Mission Control and, if you have more Desktops, as attached, it means you have more, and you must select the one you need for a certain app. If default settings has not changed, this is Control with left / right arrow
    If in Snow Leopard and earlier, you have these settings in System Preferences only. In Lion, you also have some settings in Sys Prefs.

  • Several questions on resolution (room branding/presentations)

    Dear All,
    could you please kindly comment 2 points which i am trying to clarify these days as well:
    presentation to share later on in Connect Pro shall contain several PDF files, which shall be pages scanned into PDF format. Are there any recommendations on resolution to use for scanning + possibly other crucial details to take into consideration. Final goal is to prepare the document in the way that it is comfortable to be seen for users with various screen sizes/resolutions.
    yesterday i set up the resolution of my conference room to 800x600 and uploaded background image, which was supposed to be name of the company, i.e. transparent background + name on the upper-right corner of the image. The image was created in Adobe Photoshop and saved as JPG. However when i uploaded it there was a certain pixelization of the image. Are there any ways to avoid this pixelization and have an image professionally looking:
    with any screen resolution of the meeting room itself
    with any screen resolution/size from participants' side?
    Thank you for your comments and help!

  • MBA 11 inch which resolution to use for presentations

    I formerly used my MacBook Pro for Keynote presentations and set the display for 1280 x 800. I now want to use my MBA 11 In but  that resolution is unavailable and I cannot seem to find the proper resolution. Any advice

    You should use the latest version of Smart View 11.1.2.5.400 (I believe is the latest patch). I will say using it against 11.1.1.3 will not be the greatest experience. You really should be on 11.1.2.2 (ok, 11.1.2.1.103) or higher of both Essbase and APS to take advantage of all that smart view has to offer.
