I'm working in Photoshop CS, then inserting the pictures into PowerPoint
2003. The mode (in photoshop) is set to RGB, 8bits/channel.
The Profile Setting is "Don't color manage".
I use the "Save for Web" feature and Save as a JPG, Progressive, Optimized
on.
This produces fantastic looking photos when they are previewed in internet
explorer, when my screen (display) settings are at 256 colors.
I tried to save as PNG-8, Windows turned on, diffusion with 100% dither,
and auto colors. This (according to Lynda Wyman) produced good photos, had
dots, but looked good. They looked good when viewed with internet
explorer.
But, when I put the pictures into PowerPoint 2003, they still come up with
the dots in a different pattern -- like a grid. I think there's something
with how PowerPoint is reading the image files I put in. It must be doing
something with the colors because I've tried several different configurations
with Photoshop, and each time I get the grid pattern when I put the photos
into PowerPoint or Word.
I even tried to copy, paste special, and tried all of the "Paste Special"
options -- which didn't seem to change the gridding, but did change the
size at which the pictures were pasted -- the BMP setting made it come in a
bit larger (probably because it was reading the pixels and made adjustments
for that -- i assume).
So, I'm wondering, what I can do make that grid pattern disappear when I
put my photos into PowerPoint, or even MS Word.
I will then, have to PDF everything for final delivery to the customer,
who asked that I prep everything using 256 colors.
Yikes! -- Help!
