Monthly Potluck & Slideshow

Digital Images

The Mountaineers Photography Committee has a digital projector, available to members at the monthly potluck as an alternate to the film slide show. The digital projector has a maximum projection size of 1024 by 768 pixels. Bring up to eight digital images on a CD or jump drive, as outlined below.

Use photo imaging software, like Photoshop, to size your images. For horizontals, images can be the maximum: 1024 pixels wide x 768 pixels high. If you wish to retain the 1:1.5 ratio of the 35mm film format, size the horizontal to 1024 x 683. For verticals, height should be 768 pixels, but reduce the width to 512.

Horizontal Vertical

Save up to eight images as high-quality jpegs to a new folder on your computer, then copy the folder to a CD or floppy disc. If you want the images to appear in a particular sequence, name them alpha-numerically (example: coast1.jpg, coast2.jpg, etc.).
You can, of course, crop your images differently for effect. For example, you may want to show a panorama sized for the 1024 pixel width but only 250 pixels high. Or perhaps you want to show a square 768 x 768. You get the idea.
Bring the CD or jump drive to the monthy meeting and we will load the images into the laptop that controls the projector. It's that easy.
