Making images to be displayed
Your images may be in any of the following graphics file formats: BMP (.bmp), GIF (.gif), JPEG
(.jpg), PNG (.png). They may be created by any application that produces images of these file
types. [See a later section in this manual for how to create such files with Microsoft
PowerPoint.]
Image resolution
It is recommended that images be created or saved in one of the following pixel resolutions:
640x480
800x600
1024x768
1280x1024
1366x768
1440x900
1400x1050
1600x1200
Using one of these resolutions will allow your images to fill up the entire screen on most
common monitors or displays. [See a later section in this manual for how to change the
resolution of your images after they have been created.]
Image file names
When your images are displayed, they will be shown in alphabetic order by their file names, so
name your files alphabetically in the order you wish them to be displayed. For example, the
“Slide12.jpg” file will follow the “Slide11.jpg” file and precede the “Slide13.jpg” file.
Grouping presentation files
When you copy your image files to a USB flash drive for later playing, you may place a single
presentation on the flash drive or multiple presentations on a single flash drive. If you put more
than one presentation on a single flash drive, keep each presentation’s image files in their own
folder. The ShowBox’s Configuration/Thumbnail mode may then be used to select the desired
presentation.
