What customers say: ( we love to hear from you )
| Your customer service has been exceptionally good and I am very thankful for your reponses. This is of course very important to us and the 10 students who will be using these slides for college credit. I really appreciate your time and care in this matter, and can say that Catonsville High will use your company every year for this. Matt |
Preparing your PowerPoint files for 35mm Slides
To begin to convert a Powerpoint presentation to 35mm slides, set the proper page size for your slides:
Most printers use 8.5" x 11" paper, but slides correspond to a size of 7.5" x 11.25". To make a 35mm PowerPoint presentation, change your page size by changing your setup. Click the File Menu, click Page Setup, and make sure that the "Slides Sized for:" box says "35mm slides." Use the default size that it gives you. Or you could be totally exact and change the numbers to 7.33 x 11, which would be a Custom page size. Then click OK.
Preparing your 35mm slide presentations:
Do not run your text or artwork all the way out to the edge of the background. Leave about a half inch of space from the edge of the background on your screen or the text/art will be cut off by the slide mount. Make your text as large as possible to increase readability. Use a dark background and light colored letters or your slides will be difficult to read.
Considerations regarding images in your presentation to be put on 35mm slides: should be 24-bit RGB color with the resolution of 4096 x 2732 pixels or less. Click for some additional discussion images (bitmaps) for slides.
Fonts:
To avoid unwanted font substitution use only the standard fonts that came with Windows and PowerPoint. The standard fonts are:
Arial
Times New Roman
Courier New
Symbol
Bookman Old Style
Book Antiqua
Century Gothic
Century Schoolbook
Arial Narrow
Monotype Corsiva
Monotype Sorts
If you need to use other fonts, be sure to save the fonts with your file. In PowerPoint you can save your fonts with your file by selecting Embed TrueType under Save As. (Please note that fonts with similar names are not the same font. For instance, Courier is not the same as Courier New. Use Courier New, not Courier.)
Saving your files for 35mm PowerPoint slides:
Save your slides as a normal PowerPoint 97, 2000 or XP for Windows presentation file with a ".ppt" extension. Please do not print it to a file. Just send it by email as a file attachment to: orders@galleriaventures.com
or send your file to us on a disk, zip disk, or CD-ROM,
or upload it via FTP,
or user our ezUpload form.
(Overnight delivery is the most secure method for confidential material.)
Digital Camera Files
Most all the digital cameras today offer resolutions which will make nice 35mm slides. As a minimum, we would recommend that you not use a resolution lower than 640x480 pixels. Higher resolution is better.
Also, most digital cameras do not shoot the same image aspect frame as a 35mm frame. (A full frame for 35mm is 1" x 1.5" ) Many digital cameras use something close to a 1" x 1.25" frame. This results in an image being short of filling the 35mm frame on the longer side of the photo. This should be taken into account when making slides, and your preference communicated to us when you order. The preference to communicate is:
-
Whether to not crop any of the image and let it best fit in the 35mm slide frame, or
-
to crop the image so that it fills the 35mm slide frame.
As a default practice, we do not crop any of the images to fill the 35mm slide frame.
Computer Files to Slides
Making slides is like printing, so a digital image which can make a nice
print should be able to make a nice slide. When I make a slide from a 4x6 print, I scan the print at 300 dpi. This produces an 1800x1200
pixel image. This is very good resolution for the slide. Your
file should be in RGB color. Remember that color will vary from screen to
screen and so it will vary on your slide. If color is critical to you, I
suggest that you submit a few test slides to compare to your computer screen
Image shape needs to
be
considered if filling the slide frame is important. Cropping is required in
order for
a more square image to fill the 35mm rectangle frame. If no image cropping is
desired we fill in around the image with black to complete the 35mm frame. (
We do not crop images unless specifically instructed .) We do not adjust
or tamper with your files.
I recommend JPG file format with minimal compression for sending images
for slides. ( We can accept most image file formats. )
For sending files - our ordering page has links for uploading with a Web browser and placing your order into our shopping cart or PayPal. You can also send files as email attachments.
Art Work to Slides for Art
History, Budding Artists, Photographers, and Craftsfolks
(also
important for
students applying for AP credit)
Please read the appropriate section - whether your files are from a digital camera, scanned image or directly from your computer. Be sure that you adhere to proportions of 4 in x 6 in at 300 dpi to fill the entire frame (or we fill in with black) and that your files are in RGB color. When slides are projected onto a screen, most are more brilliant than a "flat" printed image. We do have expedited ordering and shipping, and we can drop ship your slides to another address for you.
