Let's say you have a collection of beautiful digi photographs you're going 
to screen for teaching or presentation and you know they're going to look 
like crap through a digital projector. So why show them through the digital 
projector?

Why not use PS, size your images to a 35mm slide  1.5" X 1.0 Crop and burn 
to CD, take it to the colour lab and have them make "slides?"

Now you should have? The best of both worlds, your digi photographs and the 
class act of showing slides?

OK, so what are the problems.... apart from the cost? Or has anyone gone 
this route and how well did it work?
