Hi John. Loss of quality can be seen before the save. It happens when in edit mode and in show.

My boss has a large computer monitor with a higher resolution, which I thought, at first was *the* issue. But, when that same slideshow is shown on a "regular" resolution screen (so, 1260 x 800 or some such resolution) they are still blurry. Any slideshow, with my slides, that are made on his desktop, appear in poor quality. He can insert digital camera photos that do not get blurry.

He actually shows the presentations on a laptop, which has the resolution that the images were made for (output in the scanning process).

So, this would account for the blurriness on HIS large screen, but not once the presentation is shown on a regular sized monitor.
