Edit Images And Photos Within PowerPoint: Picture Toolbar
Although anyone is able to insert images in PowerPoint, it is not always obvious when it is appropriate to use them and how to make these elements useful and look good. Let's see how to control images.
In PowerPoint you can control images using the Picture toolbar which automatically appears whenever you insert a picture in a slide. In case you do not see this toolbar, you can right-click on the image you have just inserted and choose "Show Picture Toolbar".
With this toolbar you can:
- Change the image to grayscale, black-and-white or watermark, thanks to the Color Control feature.
- Change the picture's contrast, with the More Contrast and Less Contrast controls.
- Change the picture's brightness with the More Brightness and Less Brightness controls.
- Cut off part of the picture with the Crop control.
- Recolor vector images (not applicable to bitmap images such as JPEG) with the Recolor Picture function.
- Format the picture with the Format Picture control.
- Select a color in the image and make it transparent, with the Set Transparent Color function.
- Undo all operations that you have applied to the selected images with the Reset Picture control.
The Picture Toolbar is undoubtedly a handy facility that allows simple adjustments to images within Powerpoint slides and it is a good solution whenever you need to customize digital images without needing to resort to more complex image editing software.
