Formatting and adding effects to pictures

Now that our pictures are added and in place,…let's jazz them up a bit with some…backgrounds, shadows, and effects.…To start adding effects to your photos,…first select the photo in the slide.…A new ribbon tab will appear, the Picture Format tab.…Clicking on that, will bring you to all the options…that you can do with that picture or photo.…The first thing you can do is work on correcting your photo.…Maybe it needs some softened edges or sharpened edges.…You can also adjust the brightness and contrast…by selecting it from this view.…

You can see a preview of how it's going to look.…You can also change the color.…You can completely desaturate the color from your photo,…or you can add some warmth.…You can recolor it according to the colors…that are used in the theme and you can also add…your own variation of those colors.…You can set some artistic effects,…such as, turning a photo into a water color.…You can also change the transparency.…This is useful if you have something going on…in the background of your slide…
