WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:07.740 --> 00:00:13.269 Sometimes there may be part of the image that you want to crop out and not use. 00:00:13.269 --> 00:00:20.269 Just click the Crop command in the Size group and you'll see black crop handles appear. 00:00:20.990 --> 00:00:27.679 The black corner crop handles will crop the picture and retain its proportions. 00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:33.440 Just click the handle and while holding down the mouse button, drag the handle to the desired 00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:40.440 area, and then release the button. Or, you could just crop a little of the top 00:00:43.949 --> 00:00:50.949 or the side part of the image. And there you go, your image is cropped. 00:00:51.460 --> 00:00:57.070 If you have specific dimensions that you need your picture to be, PowerPoint does give you 00:00:57.070 --> 00:01:03.140 the ability to set the crop to specific measurements here in the Size group. 00:01:03.140 --> 00:01:08.350 Over on the left in the Adjust group you have some commands that will change your picture 00:01:08.350 --> 00:01:13.640 in various ways. The one I probably use the most is the Compress 00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:18.189 Pictures command. Large file sizes can really make your PowerPoint 00:01:18.189 --> 00:01:24.100 slides load and display slowly and can be difficult or impossible to send the presentation 00:01:24.100 --> 00:01:30.859 by email. To compress the picture, just click the command. 00:01:30.859 --> 00:01:36.829 The Compress Pictures dialog box appears. Here you can choose to only compress the picture 00:01:36.829 --> 00:01:42.759 that is selected, or you can go ahead and compress all the pictures in the slide show. 00:01:42.759 --> 00:01:49.159 You can click OK to compress the pictures. If you want to change the default compression 00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:55.039 settings, click the Options button. In the Compression Settings dialog box that 00:01:55.039 --> 00:02:01.579 appears you can make some choices about your options and the type of output, or how you'll 00:02:01.579 --> 00:02:07.369 use your PowerPoint presentation. Then click OK. 00:02:07.369 --> 00:02:11.569 The default settings have always been sufficient for my needs. 00:02:11.569 --> 00:02:16.130 Some of the other commands allow you to change the brightness or contrast of color in the 00:02:16.130 --> 00:02:20.060 image. You can just click each of these commands 00:02:20.060 --> 00:02:25.330 to display a menu of options. I sometimes use the Brightness command to 00:02:25.330 --> 00:02:31.170 lighten some of my images that are a little dark, or were taken without the camera flash. 00:02:31.170 --> 00:02:38.170 The Recolor command lets you change the picture to black and white, Sepia, or other fun color 00:02:39.220 --> 00:02:44.580 tones. The Reset Picture command removes all the 00:02:44.580 --> 00:02:49.390 formatting changes you made to the picture and changes it back to the original that you 00:02:49.390 --> 00:02:56.290 inserted, and the Change Picture command opens up a dialog box so you can switch to a different 00:02:56.290 --> 00:03:01.390 picture on your computer. Now that we've inserted a picture and modified 00:03:01.390 --> 00:03:07.860 it using all these great PowerPoint features, let's take a look at the clip art feature. 00:03:07.860 --> 00:03:14.730 I need a 4th slide so I can include instructions for a group activity and include a clip art 00:03:14.730 --> 00:03:21.730 image. The title of this one will be Team Exercise. 00:03:23.820 --> 00:03:29.630 And I want an image here that will look good with the instructions I'll add here later. 00:03:29.630 --> 00:03:36.510 The team exercise involves trying to get a teammate across a log bridge successfully. 00:03:36.510 --> 00:03:41.030 I don't have any pictures on my computer that seem right for this slide. 00:03:41.030 --> 00:03:46.680 To take a look at available clip art, I can click the Clip Art command in the placeholder, 00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:53.680 or select the Insert tab, and choose the Clip Art command in the Illustrations group. 00:03:54.120 --> 00:04:00.640 Whichever way you choose, the Clip Art task pane appears on the right. 00:04:00.640 --> 00:04:05.440 In the Search for field we will enter some words that describe the type of picture we 00:04:05.440 --> 00:04:14.210 are looking for. In the Search in: drop-down menu we will select 00:04:14.210 --> 00:04:18.489 the clip art collections that we want to search to find the image. 00:04:18.489 --> 00:04:24.830 By default, all the collections are chosen. We'll just leave that as it is so PowerPoint 00:04:24.830 --> 00:04:29.189 will search our computer and Office Online for images. 00:04:29.189 --> 00:04:34.490 Then, we can choose the type of media file to look for. 00:04:34.490 --> 00:04:38.710 Clip Art illustrations include traditional clip art that looks more like drawings or 00:04:38.710 --> 00:04:45.710 cartoon images, photographs, movies, and sounds. I actually only want photographs in this presentation. 00:04:50.900 --> 00:04:57.050 And now we're ready to click Go. It may take a bit for all the results to display 00:04:57.050 --> 00:05:03.090 as PowerPoint searches for images you can use. 00:05:03.090 --> 00:05:07.900 Now we can just scroll through and look at our options. 00:05:07.900 --> 00:05:13.800 You'll notice the world icon on some of these and that means the image is from a Web collection. 00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:19.800 If you don't see one you like, don't worry. You can always try different search words 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:26.150 or click the Office Online link to go to the Microsoft website and search the thousands 00:05:26.150 --> 00:05:32.599 of clip arts available. But, here I think this one will work. 00:05:32.599 --> 00:05:39.599 To insert it, you can just click the image, or click the drop-down arrow next to the image 00:05:39.969 --> 00:05:46.490 to see some of your Options. From here, you can copy this image to your 00:05:46.490 --> 00:05:52.659 collection, find similar styles, or go ahead and Insert it. 00:05:52.659 --> 00:05:57.529 Just click it, and the clip art appears in the slide. 00:05:57.529 --> 00:06:03.969 Notice now that the same Picture Tools Format tab appears on the Ribbon when the clip art 00:06:03.969 --> 00:06:07.909 is selected. You can modify the clip art in all the same 00:06:07.909 --> 00:06:13.479 ways that you modified the picture on slide 2. 00:06:13.479 --> 00:06:18.460 It is easy to insert pictures and clip art and the picture tools really allow you to 00:06:18.460 --> 00:06:24.620 modify the images in interesting ways. I think well-placed pictures can really make 00:06:24.620 --> 00:06:29.590 people go "Wow" when they see your presentation, and PowerPoint gives you the 00:06:29.590 --> 00:06:33.870 tools to do it. Spend some time exploring pictures and clip 00:06:33.870 --> 00:06:34.680 art for yourself.
