pasting special as JPGs

The quality setting for "pasting special as JPGs" is terrible. Is there a
preference setting somewhere?

PP (Office 2000)

No, but where is the image on the clipboard coming from in the first
place?

It came from a JPEG file, saved from Photoshop. My impression is that PP
saves the entire bitmap within the PPT file, UNLESS I first adjust its size
just the way I want it, then 'cut' the image, and then 'paste special as
JPEG'. The PPT file is then much smaller, but the JPEG "lossy" artifacts
are so obvious and distracting.

What do you get when you paste the same image into, say, Photoshop?

It will paste the entire bitmap, including JPEG artifacts ... i.e., a 1k x
1k RGB image will show 3Mb memory used in spite of the size of the PPT file
or a saved JPEG.

My guess at the quality setting for PP "pasted special JPEGs" must be near
3/10(?) 7/10 would be good :eek:)

Please try using Photoshop's "Save for Web" function and save it as a PNG
file. Then in PowerPoint use Insert > Picture > Picture from File. You'll
be much happier with the results.
