Look Sharp with Tailor-Made PowerPoint Presentation Design
When You've Got One Chance to Impress, You Need to Look Your Best
Know the difference between a tailor-made suit and one you bought off the rack? The latter is serviceable and will do, but it won't get you noticed in a crowd and it won't wow. The same applies to tailor-made PowerPoint presentation design and the do-it-yourself variety.

Great design shows that you're the kind of person or company that goes the extra mile with everything. Here are 10 more reasons why you need professional PowerPoint presentation design. Read more.

eSlide's Quick Tip of the Month
PowerPoint Advanced Options:
Raw Files with "Do Not Compress Images in File Box" Not Checked
We had some image quality issues with a raw file.  The original file did not have "Do not compress images in the file" checked off in the advanced options of the actual PowerPoint file.  Every time the logo was inserted it looked fine, but as soon as the file was saved, it would get grainy.
If you ever experience the same problem, please check your PowerPoint Advanced Options and be sure "DO NOT COMPRESS IMAGES IN FILE" is clicked "ON". 

To find this, click >File >Options >Advanced. You'll see it in the Image Size and Quality section.
In this case, the set default target output was 200ppi which seemed like it would've been OK even if the box wasn't checked, but it still made the images look grainy. 

*If you do need to compress large images to reduce file size, the "Compress Pictures" tool under PICTURE TOOLS/FORMAT will allow you to apply compression to individual images instead of globally.
