Articulate Presenter only supports the On-screen Show slide dimension; using any other setting may truncate your output when you publish. You can change your settings from 35mm to On-screen Show (4:3) as outlined below:
You might try this. See if you cannot do a screen capture of the image and then paste into your e-learning presentation. I use a program called SNAG-IT by Techsmith but Power Point actually has a screen capture option. Snag-it 10 has a cool little option to capture with a transparent background. Very similar to Word and Power Point. I honestly love this simple little application and use it extensively for designing course materials. You could also try copying the image and paste it into a photo editing software such as Adobe Photoshop or even Picassa and then save them as PNG or JPG. Then insert them into a your e-learning project. My guess is the reason they look funny has to do with the photos in the old slides.
