I would say yes. I've always made the longest side of any image

good on the monitor or projected through a digital projector.
Of course.....how they look does depend on the quality of the
digital projector. But, that's another can or worms, isn't it ?!
It's always best if you can check out your images on the projector
your clients will be using. Digital projectors as a whole, I've
found, tend to increase contrast, diminish shadow detail and
compress colors.
Millions of colors can turn into thousands so to speak.
I have used XGA projectors that are fantastic and some XGA
projectors that aren't so good. I would certainly inform your
clients to, if you can't do it yourself, check out how the images
look through their projector (or through the projector that happens
to be in the venue - i.e. hotel, conference center - of the
presentation). They can tweak the color, contrast, brightness etc.
of the inserted images with Powerpoint's tools if needed.
Hope this helps a bit.
Yes, that was very useful, and thanks very much.
kind regards
