Appropriate picture size

As the size of the pictures in your project can impose a limit to high-quality digital projection, you should rather scan your pictures at a larger size. Digital photographs should be used at their original size. This will give you the every chance to create videos or presentations with smaller pictures at a later time.

The appropriate minimum size depends on your applications. Here are a few examples:

Digital projection at highest HDAV quality... 2000 ... 4000 pixels picture width

The picture width you choose depends on the maximum requirement for future applications. This, however, also requires high-quality image capturing devices (video cameras, scanners, digital cameras, etc.). If you are planning to create extensive camera movements, the pictures need to be scanned at a larger size in accordance with the travelling path of the camera or the zoom factor. See also Picture size for camera movements.

Tip: If restricted memory capacity is no major issue, we recommend using TIF format for the pictures,

Advantages of the TIF format.

All in all, TIF format offers the best properties:

A color depth of up to 16 bits per channel offers extra capacity for editing of tonal values.
Embedded color profiles can be read and considered by Wings Vioso RX.
Storage of layers maintains full editability of pictures created in editing programs, e.g. Photoshop (text, layer effects, etc.). These layers continue to be editable in Photoshop but not in Wings Vioso RX.
Alpha channels or transparent backgrounds can be saved and allow extracting of objects, for example.
Note: TIF format is a container that may also contain RAW data. Such files are not supported by Wings Vioso RX.
