When you add content to a document, you may choose to mask the shape. This can reveal or hide parts of a photo, or allow you better control over how it’s presented by adding graphical style. In this video, author Richard Harrington walks you through how to mask or crop a digital image in Microsoft PowerPoint.
- When you add content to a document,…you may choose to mask the shape.…This can reveal or hide parts of the photo…and allow you better control over how it's presented.…Perhaps, it's to change the overall display size…or to add some graphical style.…Let's take a look at a few images,…and you're welcome to follow along with the same file.…If I select an image,…you may notice that there are controls for the image.…Go to the Picture Tools area for Format,…and you'll see a button labeled Crop.…
If you click the preset here,…there are different ratios that you can choose.…For example, I can crop to a square ratio if I want.…And now, when I click the button again, the crop is applied.…Or I can choose other shapes.…Notice, for example,…I can crop to a circle,…placing the photo inside of the shape.…Now, once an image is cropped, you do have flexibility.…
You can select it and click the Crop button again.…Doing so will allow you to adjust the contents of the crop…to change the portion of the image that's shown.…This will allow you flexibility to reposition it…
