Problem with this is of course that you are limited to the resolving power of
the slide projector lens, which usually is really crappy. Also, the
smoothness of the projector surface, which unless it's a movie-grade
projection screen usually is really poor.


Very true, which is why I referred to this approach as "quick & dirty"
as well as "halfway decent".

Point is simply that it is, however slight, still "better than nothing", and
gets there without a huge personal time/effort investment.
