When I import a photo from my archive folder to prepare a slide show, the quality of the photo on the slideshow is very poor. How can I import digital photos and maintain their original high quality ? I have Photostory on CD & DVD 9.
What format is the photo in that you are importing?
I use the programs navagation to fine the location of my photos and then drag them into the arrangement. I do not see any quality loss when I do the importing that way.
Hello and thank you for your comments. I import a photo taken on a cannon or pentax 12 mega pixel camera from a storage file in my laptop hard drive. I drag or double click on the photo to load it onto the "storyboard". When I click on a photo in the storyboard, the image in the viewer is terrible - fuzzy, out of focus and of poor quality. Sharpening the photo does not help as the photo then becomes very harsh with too much contrast and hard to look at. When I view the same photos on the standard Windows viewer, the image is very sharp, crisp and with high quality detail - can zoom in quite close before suffering picture loss. Burning the photos using windows gives me an excellent result - fullscreen, very high quality and zoomable but very difficult to present in the order I want as the default is always in accordance with the camera used and timeline. I bought the Photostory software as it is supposed to be very easy to order the photos and prepare slideshows. I find the ordering feature great but cannot abide the extreme photo quality loss. I tried the standard slideshow last night and the photos were a better quality (almost acceptable) but the photos do not fill the TV screen and the slidesow effects - tilting, panning sideways and up and down - are not to my likeing and find it nauseating to watch. I cannot adjust the effects without picture loss. I have read and re-read the online manual but cannot learn how to make the changes I would like without compromising photo quality loss. Any tips you can provide would be great!
