Images Needed for Adobe Connect Events

Note the image sizes you will need for the email and web page presentation of

your event.

STEP 1: Paint - Create image template at pixel level

Why Start Here?Since it is can be a hassle to get and tweak pixel sizes in any Office product, we start with Paint to create, command and control the exact pixel sizes we need for each image.

Open Paint Using Start in Windows on the Windows menu and searching under Accessories (or type in “Paint” under Programs search in Windows 7 and beyond.

Note the default image size indicated on the status bar when you

open the Paint program.

Use this arrow to display the menu for the

Properties command.

Step 2: Define the needed pixel size

For each image that you need at a precise pixel size, you will need to do this step.

From slide one, the Large Event Banner size was 740x300. Indicate the template size you need in pixels.

Click OK.

Select Pixels and enter the size values needed

for your image.

Step 3: Make it easy to work with

Choose a color from the palette and then the

bucket to fill your image background.

Use the Text tool to add a size note to

your template.

Use the Save command to save it as a *.png file.

Note the pixel size changes.

Step 4: Do the same for all the templates you need

Note the Color 1 selected and the background & text; this is solely for easy

reference when we close out of here.

Note how the pixel sizes match the image templates changes.

Step 5: Paste your new templates into PowerPointSave yourself the first five steps and just use mine here:
