I'm not sure whether this should be in this section or under the photography threads. I'd be happy to be advised to change it.
I have a pretty poor understanding of resolution / ppi / dpi / image quality etc.
I deliver a number of presentations using a Macbook or iPad and a pretty cheap Acer projector. I use Keynote as I like to include good looking text and and transitions / magic move etc. I just allow them to connect and sort out their own resolution issues. I'm not really happy with the resolution of what appear on my iMac to be good quality images.
My question is: When I drag images into keynote they resize themselves to fit the slide format. (I never have the issue that I used to have with PowerPoint where the images were always too large or small and needed handles dragged to get them to fit.) What is happening to the resolution when I add pictures, is it reduced? Would I be better just making a slide show in Aperture or iPhoto? Does that provide better projected quality? Of course I'd have to give up my effects. I'm prepared to upgrade the projector if that might be the issue but I don't want to do that if it might just be the limitations of Keynote.
Hoping someone has the patience to explain this to me, thanks.
