The Tribune

By Deidre Bastian

It’s no secret, and it’s final: The Bahamas finished 2nd place behind Jamaica in the CARIFTA Games. Eight golds, 10 silvers and 13 bronzes totalling 31 medals. What a performance!! Kudos to all of our Bahamian athletes especially Shaunae Miller who received 3 gold and clocked a new record of 22.77 seconds which sealed her position as the Austin Sealy award winner for the best athlete.

I truly enjoyed the sportsmanship and I am certain that every Bahamian who attended did so as well. The display of patriotism was overwhelming as I was pleased to see the huge support from the Bahamian public. With that said we will continue with our final chat on PowerPoint resolution.

If you’ve asked this question: “What resolution should I make my pictures for a PowerPoint slide show?” and gotten answers like “Just scan your images at 96 dpi,” I’ll have to ask you to press your brain’s Restart button again because for PowerPoint purposes, it’s incorrect.
 OK, so what if I don’t know anything about the computer or the printer that’ll run the presentation? That’s OK because now you will learn why resolution rules for the screen slides are different from the printed presentation slides. Let’s begin on the notion that image resolution is the number of pixels in an image, measured in pixels per inch thus figuring out the optimal image resolution in PowerPoint is not so difficult as it seems.
 For all purposes intended, this article will explain how to set the best image resolution for PowerPoint from both the Screen and Printer Resolution
