Images size for projection--Cross posted

[mdijb]

I have a group of images I wish to project in a slide show.  What size should they be in inches?

What resolution is best?  Should the images be chnged to jpeg's from my usual psd files?

Thanks for any help or direction to sources of information.

Presumably your images are digital files and you intend to project using a data projector.  The highest resolution of these projectors is XGA - viz. 1024 pixels wide and 768 pixels high.  There is no advantage in trying to use image sizes larger than this.  The computer or projector will simply scale them down and they will take longer to open. One usually uses a laptop computer to conect and you can use any format (usually j.peg or tiff) that your computer will deal with.
