question on creating a slideshow and viewing it as VCD help!

[af9148]

for those that have sucessfully created a slideshow and played it back as a vcd, how did the pictures in the slideshow come out? btw what resolution and size did you guys save your scanned pictures at? 300 dpi? i looked up guides on how to author slideshows onto vcd and im planning on using ProShow to author the slideshow. almost all of the pictures im going to be using for the slide show are scanned pictures and just wanted to get some suggestions on how to scan them to get the best results. thanks in advance

thanks for your reply but i dont think you know what kinda help im asking for, i already read the guides and decided im going to use ProShow. what im looking for are suggestions as to what resolution to scan as or size to save as for those who have successfully created a vcd slideshow.

Because the normal TV is 75 to 150 dpi, u probably won't see any difference whether you scan at 150 or 600 dpi or above...

For me, I scan @ 200dpi if I'm in a hurry, or use 600dpi if I know I may print them out in future...

Hope this helps & good luck!

On resolution: There are two stantards: 720 pix by 540 pix at 96 dpi NTSC 601. 720 pix by 534 pix at 96 dpi NTSC DV/DVD. I use 720 x 534 at 96 dpi and my pictures are excellent. I use photoshop 7. I have scaned hundereds of pictures, at all sizes. Exam. If I scan a 4x6 I scan it like most at 300dpi. I then crop it at 7.5in x 5.563 at 96 dpi. Yes you can crop at a larger size using photoshop. If you are using something else just cange the image size. This means you are resampling down which is OK. I then save each file as a TIF image. The resulting file size is 1.1 mb. No compression loss. I know it sounds like a 96 dpi picture would be bad but the picture is perfect. You would never know it was only 96 dpi. Hope this helps.
