Hey all. =) Before I get around to my question, I have to say that PG is one heck of a site... I'm a graphic designer and was wandering around online yesterday looking for some new stuff to try with PS and came across this site. Needless to say, it's been bookmarked and favoritized. On to the question...
This is a really simple question, though for the life of me I can't find an answer to it. What resolution should a background graphic created for a Powerpoint template be? 72 dpi makes the graphic look fuzzy onscreen, 300 dpi looks better but then the filesize is huge. Is there a standard res? When I pull a background graphic off a current PPT it shows up as something like 560 dpi, which can't be right... I know this is more of a PPT question but since I'm building the graphic in PS, I thought it'd apply.
Also, what dimensions should a background be? I think one of the reasons 72 dpi looks fuzzy is because it has to be upsized, but I can't seem to track down what dimensions it'd be. (Or am I just being dense and it should be 800x600 or whatever res the presentation is going to be displayed at?)
Thanks!
