WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:07.870 --> 00:00:13.200 Once you've added pictures to your presentation, you'll want to make them look as good as possible. 00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:15.480 That could mean adjusting the color, 00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:20.180 or the brightness and contrast, or even just adding a border. 00:00:20.180 --> 00:00:25.030 Simply click picture to begin and then go to the Format tab. 00:00:25.030 --> 00:00:27.870 I'll start by cropping this picture. 00:00:27.870 --> 00:00:32.960 Click the crop command and these black handles will appear around the image 00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:37.040 and you'll need to make sure that the mouse is right over the black handle so 00:00:37.040 --> 00:00:41.010 you don't accidentally grab a resizing handle instead. 00:00:41.010 --> 00:00:43.620 Then just click and drag. 00:00:43.620 --> 00:00:47.190 I'm just going to crop this image a little bit 00:00:47.190 --> 00:00:52.020 and when you're finished click the Crop command again. 00:00:52.020 --> 00:00:56.640 Just below, you can click the drop-down arrow and if you select Crop to Shape 00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:00.220 you can choose what shape you want your picture to be. 00:01:00.220 --> 00:01:06.760 Id like this picture to have a rounded corners, so I'll go with the rounded rectangle shape. 00:01:07.180 --> 00:01:12.020 For some pictures, you may want to add a border. I'm going to add a green border 00:01:12.020 --> 00:01:15.620 around this image so it will better match the heading. 00:01:15.620 --> 00:01:24.880 That's a little hard to see so I'm going to increase the border width by a few points. 00:01:24.880 --> 00:01:27.140 There we go! 00:01:27.140 --> 00:01:32.860 Most images aren't perfect and that's where the corrections command can really help. 00:01:32.870 --> 00:01:37.980 You'll find it in the Adjust group.From here you can sharpen and soften the image, 00:01:37.980 --> 00:01:41.850 or you can adjust the brightness and contrast. 00:01:41.850 --> 00:01:47.570 For this one, I'm just going to make it a little bit sharper to help bring out the details. 00:01:47.620 --> 00:01:51.600 If you want to modify the color, go to the Color command. 00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:57.710 Here you can adjust the color saturation, tone, or even recolor the image. 00:01:57.710 --> 00:02:03.550 I'm going to adjust the color to to make the picture look just a little bit warmer. 00:02:03.970 --> 00:02:09.050 I think this picture looks pretty good, now so I'm gonna go through and see if 00:02:09.050 --> 00:02:12.060 any of the other pictures need adjustments. 00:02:12.060 --> 00:02:16.140 This picture already looks really good, but I think there are a couple things we 00:02:16.140 --> 00:02:18.069 could do to spice it up a bit. 00:02:18.069 --> 00:02:21.649 From the Format tab, go to Artistic Effects 00:02:21.649 --> 00:02:25.520 and hover over the options and to you find one you like. 00:02:25.530 --> 00:02:31.270 Some effects may work a bit better than others depending on the picture you're using. 00:02:31.270 --> 00:02:37.330 This one sort of looks like a painting, which I think works really well for this image. 00:02:37.330 --> 00:02:42.320 I'm also going to choose a picture style. These can add various types of frames 00:02:42.320 --> 00:02:45.240 and other effects to your pictures. 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:51.020 I'm really liking the Rotated White Frame, so let's go with that! 00:02:52.190 --> 00:02:57.660 You know with, all the pictures in this presentation the file size is probably getting pretty large 00:02:57.660 --> 00:03:01.040 and that might be a problem I want to email it to somebody. 00:03:01.050 --> 00:03:04.760 To fix that, I'm going to compress the pictures. 00:03:04.760 --> 00:03:08.710 In the Adjust group, select the Compress Pictures command 00:03:08.710 --> 00:03:12.580 and you'll have the option of deleting cropped areas of the pictures 00:03:12.580 --> 00:03:15.700 and also changing the output resolution. 00:03:15.700 --> 00:03:20.690 Email means the lowest resolution, which means the file size will be as small as possible. 00:03:22.270 --> 00:03:28.040 And in case I want to apply the changes to all of the pictures in the presentation. 00:03:28.040 --> 00:03:33.520 so I'm going to uncheck the box that says Apply only to this picture 00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:36.120 and then click OK. 00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:40.140 You may have noticed the picture changed a bit when I did this and that's because 00:03:40.140 --> 00:03:43.300 compression will lower the quality of a picture. 00:03:43.300 --> 00:03:47.140 so just remember that there's a trade off here and you'll have to decide 00:03:47.140 --> 00:03:51.960 whether you want higher quality images or a smaller file size . 00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:56.700 OK, so now you know all the basics of formatting images and PowerPoint 00:03:56.710 --> 00:04:03.390 Take some time to explore all these options to create great-looking pictures for your next presentation!
