Exe file appears pixelated when on run on laptop

Postby Dewcal » Mon Jul 18, 2016 8:28 am

A colleague has just built a couple of exe files (PSP v6) with an output resolution of 1600x1200px and reports that when played on a (lower resolution) laptop the images appear pixelated. Previously made shows do not give this effect. The exe files look okay when played back on the machien on which they were created.

I get the chance to help him sort this out tomorrow(!) - any ideas as to what I should be looking for?

Many thanks.

Hi

This is a known problem on version 6. It's better with version 7 wherre you can give parameters in case of lower résolution but the best is to avoid exe and choose a video format output...

Many thanks for reply. Unfortuantely video is not an option as he wants to use the file to present a talk to an audience with manual advance!

In that case, he should use the proper tool, powerpoint.

My understanding is that PowerPoint is not a colour controlled application which is why he moved to PSP some years ago.

Usign PSP v7 he has managed to get "re-export" without pixelation.
