Mac Forum / Applications / PowerPoint / January 2005Importing pictures
Recently, I have a problem with importing graphics (saved as jpeg files) generated from Canon's Photostitch. These JPEG Image graphics were created 6 months ago. Now, oddly, some images can be imported, while others just turns up as a totally black image. Finder's 'get info' function confirms graphics are jpeg files, but for some reason under Powerpoint's 'Insert/Picture/From File', they all show up 'Kind: Document'. Notwithstanding, some files can be imported and others cannot. There does not appear to be any relation with date created or file size. Recently created Photostitch files cannot be imported at all. I tried opening these files in other applications such as Photostudio, Graphics Converter, saving them as either of these file types and importing to Powerpoint, to no avail. Past Photostitch files modified and saved as Photostudio can still be imported. Can someone help with this problem please? > I tried opening these files in other applications such as Photostudio, > Graphics Converter, saving them as either of these file types and > importing to Powerpoint, to no avail.

Try saving them as PNG or resaving as JPG under a new name. ================================================ Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ On 1/3/05 10:06 AM, in article VA.00000f4c.641b5d18@localhost.com, "Steve Rindsberg" <abuse@localhost.com> wrote: >> I tried opening these files in other applications such as Photostudio, >> Graphics Converter, saving them as either of these file types and >> importing to Powerpoint, to no avail.

I have found PNG to be the best format for Powerpoint. However, some of my students seem to be able to prove me wrong. ;-) Sometimes the the images don't show up and I find that one has to keep the images in the same folder as the PPT file to maintain a link, even when my students did not link them. > I have found PNG to be the best format for Powerpoint.

I don't quite understand. How can maintaining a link be a problem when no link's been created? ================================================ Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ |
