Have you looked at Horticopia?

We have an older licensed version of horticopia. We really are not pleased with the quality of the images, ie... a lot are dark, lacking contrast and detail. It has good examples of the over all shape and apearance and pretty good details (text). It may just be the version that we have do you use a fairly new horticopia program?

I had a recent presentation using powerpoint and received specific instructions to keep resolution low. Apparently the detail is lost in the screen presentations anyhow so all you do is use up a bunch of memory in the high resolution. I'll admit there may be exceptions, but this was a hort conference and I didn't see any poor quality in images.

Resolution works like this -
If you are looking at a computer monitor (which includes a power point presentation) your image only needs to be 72 dpi (or dots per inch). The SIZE of the image need only be as large as your screen, for example 800x600, etc. If you have a higher resolution, it doesn't matter because your monitor can only display 72 dpi. As a result, high res files are very large but needless in a PPPresentation.

Print is another story - if you were to print in a magazine, you want your image to be 300dpi. That's because we print at a much higher resolution that what you see on your monitor. Also, that's why images look so bad when you print out a page from a website but they look good on screen...
