Outside of Power Point
- You must know the maximum width for your template
- Use an image/photo tool
- Resize each image created in PowerPoint
- Give the resize tool the maximum template (display) width and let the tool calculate th height.
Joomla Back End
- Create a directory in your images folder giving it a relevant name for your slide show

YooTheme's YooGallery
- Edit the YooGallery module parameters and change the directory to the /images/yourpresentationdir.
- Modify any of the other parameters as needed
You can have multiple copies of the YooGallery showing different slide shows. Be sure the images directory is different. This means for every slideshow presentation, the images must be in their own separate directory. YooGallery displays all the files in the specified directory.
