Silkie McDonough Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 I work in a business office and while at work I like to dabble in computer graphics. I was at one time a graphic designer. My home computer is still not functioning correctly so I don't have the graphics programs loaded to use. Here is my dilemma. I have created something in PowerPoint (cringe) that I want to save as a high resolution jpg. So far it hasn't worked to my satisfaction. If I remember correctly PowerPoint (cringe) graphics can be copied and pasted into Illustrator or some other vector graphics program and saved at a higher resolution than from PowerPoint (cringe). Can anyone help me out? Is any designer willing to even open PowerPoint (cringe)?
Rogue Mermaid Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 I don't have much experience with Power Point. If you are working from a PC you can "alt print screen" the file and copy it into a graphic program. I don't think the resolution will be anything to write home about though
Caraccioli Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 Graphic creation in Powerpoint? Is it an object? Can you copy it using right click copy and then paste it into Illustrator? Or is it a screen? If it's a screen, RMs suggestion is the only option I'm aware of. "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?"
Tora of Tortuga Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 Not sure to be honest since I do not have PowerPoint in front of me I use OpenOffice's presentation software. But you should try to see if you can "Export it as web page" or something along that line of thinking. Dunno what resolution you will get but I doubt it will be anything great. I would also try the help, search for exporting to a graphic file say, tiff or even jpeg. Heck if you can set up a post-script printer and have it save the output to a file. open it that way in illistrator/photoshop.
Silkie McDonough Posted September 15, 2006 Author Posted September 15, 2006 I don't have the use of any graphics programs. Therein lies the problem. I need someone to open the PowerPoint (cringe) and copy it into Illustrator (or the like) and save it out of there as a .jpg. PowerPoint (cringe) can save as a .jpg but I am unhappy with the resolution. I know how to do it ...I don't have the software.
hurricane Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 If you can't copy and paste then you would need a graphics package like PhotoShop because you would need to boost the graphic in PowerPoint for 300 dpi to make it high resolution. There may be something in the shareware/freeware realm that will do this translation but PhotoShop is the one that does it best. -- Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

Silkie McDonough Posted September 15, 2006 Author Posted September 15, 2006 Perhaps I have not made my request clear. I know how to do what I want. I do not have the software functioning. I am asking that some kind soul out there let me email my 2 files to them and do it for me. I would be ever so greatful. Aditionally, you would save the hair on my head since PowerPoint has me pulling them out!
Tora of Tortuga Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 If you know Adobe Photoshop and ye dont want to empty your treasure chest I would check out Gimpshop for windows. http://www.gimpshop.com
Silkie McDonough Posted September 15, 2006 Author Posted September 15, 2006 I have the software on disk. I can not load it onto my home computer because the computer it is not functioning properly. I was trying to expidite a posting of my new 'colors'.
