Step 1:

How To Size, Larger & Smaller, Manually

100% (original size)Size = 5.24” x 6.98”

3% Size = .16” x .21”

(sized original to 3% using image properties)

How Make 3% Size

1. Right-Click image

and choose FORMAT PICTURE

2. Go to the SIZE tab

3. In SIZE section enter value

Step 2:

How To Size Smaller with Animation(and have good results)

Animate 100% to 3%

How Animate 100% to 3%

1. Apply Emphasis Animation,

Grow/Shrink, to object

2. Go to the EFFECT tab

3. In SIZE section enter value

Step 3:

Problem Sizing Larger with Animation

Problem = Pixelization

As we will demonstrate in a few slides, PowerPoint does not have the ability to enlarge an image without severe pixelization. It cannot even “grow” the image back to its 100% size – even though the 100% size has all the data.

On the next slide is an example of this how a small image can have all of the data to accurately display at a larger size.

Manually Resize to 100%

1. Here is the image reduced to 3% using the FORMAT PICTURE >> SIZE dialog

2. Here is 3% resized to 100% using the FORMAT PICTURE >> SIZE dialog

So, the information is there, put PowerPoint cannot access it when using the Grow/Shrink animation….

* To see this:- Right-click the small

image and go to FORMAT PICTURE.

- Go to the SIZE tab and change the 3% to 100%

- Done

Step 4:

Sizing Larger with Animation(but getting poor results…)

Animate 3% to original 100%

The results are bad, but the formula is importantBeing able to figure out how to enlarge an image is important, even if the previous slide’s results were unusable.

The next slide shows the formula to figure out how to enlarge an image to your needed size.

Grow Equation

Example:Original Size = 50 pixels wide

Target Size = 1,000 pixels wide

Grow shrink = 1,000 / 50 = 20 + move decimal two places to right = 2,000%(This will be within 1-2 pixels of accurate size)

Ballerina Image:3% Size .16” x .21”

100% Size = 5.24” x 6.98”

Grow/Shrink = 5.24” / .16” = 32.75 + move decimal two places to right = 3,275%

(Go to previous slide check animation settings)
