Note - It is not my recommendation to use the Camera/Scanner method for adding photos to your digital photo album. Most likely, when taking the pictures or the scans, you have used a high resolution in order to get clear, crisp photos. In that case, this increases the file size of the photos greatly, and in turn, increases the file size of the PowerPoint presentation.
For this reason, you are much wiser to optimize your photos first, before inserting them into your digital photo album.
