to miss part of an image.
• Be sure a slide doesn't contain too much visual
information The audience may miss the message.
• Make sure slides are clean.
• Three criteria can help you judge a slide:
g o o d • e p a r a t l o n of adjacent tones lets you distinguish
greys, whites and blacks; otherwise faces may
look washed out.
sharp f o c u s gives the clearest image.
accurate c o l o r for t h e subject or a wide range of

" Preview Slides Before Using"
Tips for effective use
• Preview slides to be sure you have the right sequence.
Project all slides and make sure people will
be able to see them from the back row.
• While previewing, check for upside down or backwards
images. Remove slides that drop poorly because
of crimped corners, and remount. Once you
work out all the kinks, replace the lock or seal ring on
the tray.
• Your first and last slides should be " black slides" so
you don't subject your audience to the blinding glare
of a blank screen.
• Place your projector at a distance so the image is as
large as possible.
• Place the projector at about the same height as the
screen to prevent distortion. For best viewing, project
onto the top of the screen
• Be sure your entire audience can see the screen.
• Focus your first slide before your presentation. If you
need to move equipment, mark the floor with a piece
of tape. *
• Use a remote control to change slides if possible, y
Otherwise, use pre- arranged signals to the projector
operator. Avoid repeating, " Next slide, next slide."
• If slides make up most of your presentation, start and
end with lights on so your audience can identify with
you.
• Use a dimly lit room if possible, not a completely dark
room. Always check the room lighting system's
capabilities first.
• Don't feel frequent slide changes are necessary, but
don't leave people sitting in the dark with the same
old picture. Your pace will depend on a picture or
graph's complexity, slide interest and your narration.
As a general rule allow a minimum of four seconds
and a maximum of 10 seconds for each slide.
• Use an outline with key points in logical order rather
than a prepared script. It allows you to sound more
natural.
• If you feel better with a script, practise being natural.
To avoid monotony, highlight key words for emphasis.
Practise sounding enthusiastic. Avoid talking
down at the script.
• You rarely need phrases like " This is a view o f . . . " It
suggests that you're supporting slides with idle talk
when they could easily stand on their own. Let slides
illustrate your talk with comments like " Irrigation of K
hay fields increases returns by 75 per cent," when
your image is a split screen projection of irrigated and
unirrigated hay fields.
• Stand in front of the group and to the left side of the
screen. Talk to the audience, not to the screen.
• A novel way to use a slide presentation is as an
introduction, motivator or summary of a section of
your presentation. Prepare a synchronized slide
presentation with music to appeal to more senses.
Summary
The effective slide presentation is a talk illustrated
by slides, not slides supported by a talk. Select slides
with quality and content in mind. To get stock slides or
help in preparing slides from photographs, call the
