: Images with a style applied loses quality immediately even before saving I have a number of very good quality photos inserted into PowerPoint 2016. There are over 30 of them and to keep it

I have not inserted a photo on Power Point since ages, because it always made a marmalade out of them.

There is a chance they corrected this but Power Point is not the best vehicle to deliver photos. I would send them the originals or send a PDF.

So this answer could be not an exact one.

I gess the style is applied directly to the photo, so it is reinterpreted/resampled to be viewed on screen.

Options:

1. If all the images are the same size you could make a background on the slides simulating the shadow, and insert the image above it. This way the "style" is not applied to the original photos.

2. If you are making some kind of catalog, try a specific software.

Specialized Desktop Publishing Systems do one thing... or more exactly do not do one thing, they do not insert an image into the file, they link them, so the good quality images stay outside the document, and that is the best way to update them. You can simply override the original image.

There are some free options (if that is what is stoping you to use them)

a) Scribus www.scribus.net/
b) Page Plus Starter www.serif.com/desktop-publishing-software/ (Reed the licence please)

c) You can even try publisher... Ouch I bited myself...

d) You can even prepare a simple webpage, where you simply update the images on a folder.

The client must choose between two things. Just be unwilling to learn and having a poor quality print, or learn something new and have a better product.

But try the option 1. Using a background on power point so the images stay untouched.
