I want to put a photograph on the screen and project it on the wall to enlarge the outline to paint. Would this projector work for that application?

If your photograph is first transferred to transparency it should (in a darkened room-best). I have been pleased with it thus far but have not used photographs.

If you put a photograph on the projector, it will project a blank black square onto the wall. If you want to trace only the outline you would have to cut the image out of the photograph to trace or you can print the photograph on transparent paper and then the entire image should project nicely.

Only if it is on transparency. To place a picture on the screen would black out the light.

no..... you have to be able to see through whatever you set on the screen or it will cast a huge black square on the wall! If you could print the picture on clear projector film, very very very transparent, it COULD maybe guide your painting. but....

Probably not. The glossy surface of the screen would make the projection look bad. Kinda like photographing something glossy with a flash.

Yes - this is only the screen - you will need some type of projector to get image on the screen

Yes. It works great if you are doing a full picture or image. If you are not, then you need to trim off any extra or it will leave an ugly showing of the ploymer backing.

Well, like most questions, the answer is "it depends". I used this free calculator to make sure this projector would work with the screen I already have given the smaller dimensions of my living room. http://www.projectorcentral.com/projection-calculator-pro.cfm Projector data for most models is available. For this one, just select InFocus and IN116 from the drop down menu and go from there. You'll be able to calculate the distance you need to setup to achieve a given screen size and also the recommended seating distance range for that size. Your room/seating arrangement may be the limiting factor.

I don't think it would work as a regular projector. I just tried the projection option and to get a real clear picture you have to be fairly close to wall which in turn makes the picture you are projecting small. It wouldn't project a big enough picture for a presentation.

Sorry, I didn't keep it long enough to try that. All I know for certain is: it will project a GREAT photo up to a 24" X 30" display size. Nothing larger without blur & pixelation.

I purchased this projector to make presentations at different locations so I do not use a screen just a wall. Sorry I could not be more helpful

It depends in how much space you have and if you use a regular projector you might get get in the way of the image and see your shadow on the screen..it could work but depends on your situation...shot throw can be mounted closer to the screen so you don't get in the way of the image

The answer is: "DEFINITELY NO". You might want to measure the exact lenght from the place the projector is going to be placed to the screening surface. And knowing this search different projector by specs. I can imagine such would cost up to several hundreds bucks.

Absolutely! I used this last summer for outdoor movies during the evening projecting on just the light color siding of the house. The picture was great over 12' maybe 15 feet. This year I purchased a 12' screen but set it up once. I was able to make the image small or beyond the 12' for a good video. I now use this daily in my master bedroom projector which is about 70". Even during the day indoors it is still good.

I use it to project on canvas, I paint with oils .. you can project on the wall remember you have to reverse the lens ... pull it out and reverse it ... this is a small home budget projector .. so you will have focus it by hand ... just take your time and you can get the the image you need . For large images move the projector back, then focus the lens ... darken the room for gaining a detailed image. I have mine placed on an adjustable table. Use a darkened room for practice, play with different images and sizes. This way you will know the limits of this type of projector.

Using presentation material will work. The projector shoots whatever is on your screen. Just open the file and maximize the screen coverage. Works the same way like with a movie.

mine works well, the problem i found it is very noisy, i can hear the fen working so it is better for outside or using good speakers, the resolution is not too good either so if u need very detailed image i think u need domething better, but it is the cheapest so if u want something better u should spend at least 500. when i recently bought it i was unhappy because it is hard to project in canvas the reason it is hard it is because you will have to move the projector to get the desired size. all functions work well but i found that i can use lycra and then i made a lycra screen and then i invert the image in the projector and i like it on this way. i hope it helped you

The answer to this question depends on how close you are to the wall. In other words how large do you want to project? I've found the projector works poorly in well lit areas when more than a couple of feet from the wall. You might want to consider something like this for your solution http://www.amazon.com/AOC-E1649FWU-USB-Powered-Portable-Monitor

I think it would work well if you have a place to put it a straight shot to the screen. I have it 22 feet from the screen and it projects a 210" projection. I think it doesn't do too well with a lot of lighting. You can always try it and return it to Amazon if you're not satisfied. I'm very satisfied with it myself.

Yes, This will work. You should get the projector first, then install it. Adjust the picture to how big you want it, then buy the screen that fits your projected image. ( I have had my Mitsubishi a year and a half, and still love it )
