justgail Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I am doing a senior video where I put baby and senior pictures of all the kids on a CD. I purchased premiere elements and am hoping to create a slideshow on Photoshop Elements and use Premiere elements to burn it to DVD. Has anyone done this and have any tips? I am in process of scanning in pictures and wondering if I should do them at 300 dpi or 600 dpi. They look better at 600 but will that create too big of a file for 5 pictures each of 200 kids? I don't have tons of extra time to do this so I want to do it right from the start! Thanks for any tips. Gail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbi Jo Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Gail, I have only done one slide show with PSE, so I don't have a wealth of information for you. I loved it though, thought it was a lot of fun. For what it's worth, I think you should check your individual file sizes after you have scanned in a couple of pictures and see how much disc space you're going to need when you have all of them scanned. I think (and hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong) that you really only need 72 ppi for something you're going to project or look at on DVD -- for the same reasons you can get away with lower resolution in the gallery. If you won't be printing, that should be adequate -- and may be all you have room for. You're using the "create" tab in the Organizer, right? HTH -- good luck!
