What resolution for a slideshow to play on a full HD tv (1920x1080)?

What resolution should my photos be in to produce a DVD slideshow that will play well on a full HD tv (1920x1080)?
should I be reducing them to those dimensions? They are from a 6Mp camera...
(It seems that if I want to produce a movie (with video clips) with some photos in it, then I have to reduce the photos to a much mower res, like 800x550... )
thx

>Are you saying you cannot burn a DVD via Photoshop Elements 5?
You can't burn a video DVD of a slideshow from Photoshop Elements to a DVD disc that will play on your TV DVD player. Even if you only have photos in your slideshow, in order to have the motion of pan and zoom it must be written to the DVD disc in one of the DVD video formats AND Photoshop Elements can not do that. Premiere Elements can.
Because you will burn a
b standard DVD
and use a standard DVD player, you are limited to the resolution of the standard MPEG2 DVD format in the range of approximately 800 pixels wide.
Most DVD players can play the standard video DVD format burned to a DVD disc on your PC. A good percentage of TV players can also play JPEG format photo files burned to a CD disc - but this can't have pan or zoom and whether it can have any music is totally dependent on the capability of the TV DVD player. Most DVD players can NOT play wmv files.
>Hardware config: Win Vista Business edition, 2Gb ram etc.
I can't help you with Vista Business capabilities because I have Vista Home Premium and so do most of the people I know running Vista on their personal laptops or PCs.
If your TV has an HDMI connection and your PC/laptop also has an HDMI connection, it may be possible to connect to your TV and do higher resolution playback. However, I don't know the capability of Vista Business and I would question whether 2GB is sufficient RAM to do any higher definition work. Also your processor and video card may be factors in successfull higher definition playback.
However since it seems that you wanted to produce a show that could be played back on multiple TVs - using a direct PC/laptop connection might not be a solution.

  • What resolution should i take for a movie to be played on 70X20 LED display?

    I am working on an animated video that will be played on 70X20 Feet LED display. What resolution should i take?

    size of the screen is 80640 X 23040 (in pixels)
    You are going to need a monster to playback something like that. Are you sure? The max comp size in AE is 30,000 pixels. Your specs claim a requirement for 80,640 which is about 20 4K displays.
    The data rate for a comp that is 42 times wider than HD would be crazy and probably require an array of high end server grade machines and fiber optics to push even 20 fps video through the system.
    As I said before, you MUST contact the manufacturer for their exact media specifications.

  • What resolution to export images for projection?

    I am trying to figure out what to set the tage parmaeters in Foto Magico for a slideshow to be projected. The only information I have about the projector is that "images are generally best at 1050 on thier longest side." Not very helpful. I have multiple dimensions - 4:3, square, etc. Just trying to figure out what to set the stage to so I can create an export parameter fpr my images at 1050 on longest side still have some black around. The only info I can find is HD resolution, which I don't want as it seems to be cropping my 4:3 images. Any thoughts or FM users?
    thanks
    Nancie

    I agree it isn't very helpful...but that is all I have been told. Still trying to fiond out what the projector resolution is.
    I am using a fit within...but everything I am reading about projectors tells me I should be able to use higher resolution for a projector. This is more of a Foto Magico question as it pertains to images coming from Aperture.
    It is less the image resolution and more the slideshow settings I am trying to figure out. Maybe this is not the right place to post...  Thanks Frank.

  • What resolution are photos optimized for ipod display? (post computer sync)

    From what I've read here, iPod touch forces photos sync'ed from a computer through a optimization step for display on the iPod (and TV). Full-resolution images can only be stored on iPods that have "enable disc use" mode (which iPod touch does not have), and even that mode on older iPods could not be viewed/displayed on the iPod itself.
    Just curious...
    1) what resolution finally ends up on the iPod side (not sure if it is the same as older iPods)
    2) if the zooming feature on the touch goes beyond the optimized photo resolution to the point of interpolation to fill in the blanks
    Thank you ahead of time for your insight.

    Anyone know?

  • What is the ideal resolution for photos when creating a photo book in iphoto?

    Can you tell me what is the ideal resolution for photos I use to create a photo book from my iphoto library? 

    The DPI depends on the size of the image to be printed by the image file.  A 639 x 960 image could print a 3.5  x  5 photo at 180 DPI.  This website explains it further: The Myth of DPI.  
    So use the smaller photos only in the smaller frames on multiple photo layouts for best results.

  • What resolution & order of work to scan slides for Photoshop editing

    When editing all done I would propose to save at 300 dpi. If the photo/slide requires no editing, I would also scan in and save at 300 dpi.
    My slides, however, need a lot of work. They have deteriorated over the years and need - colour correction, removal of colour casts, brighten up shadows, brighten up colours etc. etc.
    I have read many books and tips but they all seem to think I want to  produce prize winning images with amazing time consuming enhancements! I  just want, as I have seen from other threads, to get into a simple routine and crack on through the pile of slides to produce acceptable digital images!
    My simple mind suggests give Photoshop as much to work with as possible!
    I have:
    - a Minolta Dual 3 AF 2840 Slide scanner which has many features akin to Photoshop - curves, Levels etc.
    - Photoshop 6.0.1 and Elements 2.0 - not very up to date I am afraid!
    Three questions:
    1) The maximum Scanner resolution is 2840 - I would have thought scanning at this best to get the most information of the image into Photoshop. Would this seem right - I can resample down to 300 dpi at the end?
    2) How much editing should I do in the Scanner - to give Photoshop the best information to work with - e.g. should I use Levels/Curves in the scanner to brighten up the shadows for Photoshop etc?
    3) Once in Photoshop for final editing, what is the best order of work and which tools best to use, bearing in mind for, say colour cast, you can use Curves, Levels, Colour Balance, Variations etc, etc.- it seems colour balance is best for this from what I have read. My suggested routine is:
    Use Scanner to scan and do initial editing:.
    - Clean slide
    - Crop
    - Set 2840 Resolution
    - Pixel polishing etc
    - Use Colour balance for colour cast
    - Curves/levels to bring out detail from the shadows
    - Scan
    - Save as TIFF
    Photoshop
    - Crop
    - Final Overall Tonal adjustments - Curves and Levels?
    - Final Overall Colour casts - Colour Balance?
    - Adjust specific tonal adjustments etc. for selected areas - Dodge, Burn etc?
    - Other adjustments - Clone out blemishes etc.
    - Unsharpen
    - Resample to 300 dpi and save as JPG or TIFF etc. for required purpose - usually JPEG
    Does this sound right - any suggestion for variation etc. will be most welcome?
    Any other advice also most welcome!
    Tony

    Dear Marian,
    Thanks for the prompt reply - it sounds like it is just what I want  to hear!
    Just to  double check my understanding! Do you agree, then, that it is a good  idea to scan slides (and negatives for that matter) at the maximum  resolution for the purpose of further  editing in Photoshop?
    As you say, Photoshop will reduce  the ppi automatically for larger images than the slide. Most of my final printed  output will be 6x4" but it still gives me scope for a half decent print  at 8x11" if I want.
    As I understand it, Slides and Negatives are pretty dense  and can accept high resolution scanning whereas to scan a magazine  page, for example, there would be no need to scan at more than 300 dpi -  in fact to do so may even produce funny results!
    I know  people can get carried away with resolution. I do get amused when people  get excited about their super megapixel cameras when they ever only  display the results on a screen or a small print!
    Thanks  again for your comments - if you can confirm the above, that will be one big issue solved for me.

  • What is the effective resolution for artwork in Keynote? I have a gigantic file I wnat to make smaller, and there are some problematical photos I want to downsize.

  • What is the best resolution for pics in the drop zones of idvd?

    What is the best resolution for pics in the drop zones of iDVD?
    Also: iDVD always seems to align a pic to the left, can I change this anywhere?
    thanks

    Hello, Hans.
    Re: drop zone pic resolution - I generally don't go below 1000 pixels wide (iDVD will resize these images to a slightly smaller format, but I've controlled the largest part of the downsizing in Photoshop Elements).
    The alignment in iDVD is goofy.  The best I've achieved is trial and error -- adding blank background or cropping my image in the downsizing process (see above) to position my image.

  • WHAT RESOLUTION TO MAKE LOGOS FOR IMPORTING

    Hi to all!
    I'm not clear on something:
    I have a custom logo made with fonts in CS2. When importing this to FCP 5.0.4, to overlay onto a scene -- do you put the logo with the fonts on a transparent layer, flatten it, and then save at what resolution and file type?
    I take it a TIFF would work or a PNG....but what resolution? And the color space I assume is RGB?
    many thanks!
    -TEXASFLOOD

    Resolution is meaningless in video. You can create your image in any application at any size you want. Just remember your video window is a set number of pixels.
    Flatten your image in PS to a format that includes transparency.
    Know that there are pixel aspect ratio issues. Photoshop creates square pixels, video is rectangular pixels.

    How do you mean? I wonder if the XP version is the same as the Mac version. I think as a default Handbrake will respect the aspect ratio. It's only the quality you need to decide on.
