Okay so hey there. We’re still in module seven, Working with Pictures, and this is section three where we’re going to talk about some of the formatting options we can do with pictures. Now so far we’ve just looked at some basic ways to enhance your pictures. We’ve actually looked at the cropping and now let’s look at the formatting options.

Okay so I’m here on our presentation on slide two and what I’d like to do is put in a picture on a new slide. I’d like the new slide to be slide five so I’m going to click on slide four over here on the left. I’m going to go up to New Slide and I’m going to ahead and choose Title Only.

Now let’s say I’ve put in the word Graduation here and I want to put a picture down in the bottom. So I’m going to go to Insert and I’m going to insert a picture. And let’s say this time I use this cap and diploma picture. So I’m going to go ahead and change the size of it so it’s a little bit larger here. And let’s say I want to take this white off the background.

So remember to do that then I’m going to go up to Remove Background and I’m just going to include what I do want in this box here. So I’ll just drag this up a little bit, make sure this is good, and I’ll bring that down a little bit and let’s see what it looks like now. Okay.

So with the exception of this corner right here. So let me go ahead and undo that and make sure I get that in there as well. Awesome. I think I have it all now. So let me go ahead and click away from it and it looks a lot better doesn’t it?

Now notice there’s a couple of areas there that I might want to get rid of. So if I click on the picture again and I go back to my Picture Tools contextual tab, back to Remove Background I can mark areas to remove which would be this area right in here and it looks like this right back here I can rid of and this little area here.

See how I’m doing that? And then this area here, this one and right inside the little bows. Let me get rid of those. So let’s see what it looks like now. See? So I could go ahead and get rid of these little areas too but I’ll leave it for now. So it looks a lot better this way.

Now as far as working with the colors in your pictures. Here’s going to be your options. Under Corrections here you’ve got several different options you can choose as far as sharpening or softening the picture and you just move your mouse over whichever one you like and notice these down here have to do with brightness and contrast.

So if you like any of these then you can go ahead and choose it. So you have several different options you can pick from there. So just kind of remember that.

Now where it says Color right here you can also choose different variants of color. So you’ll notice they’ve got a color saturation group so it can change the actual color of the diploma. I can go down to the recolor options if I want one of these yellower options or one of these blue or green options I can do something like that.

Here’s a blue one. So that’s kind of cool. So just kind of notice that you have all those options as well when you’re working with color.

Now notice at the bottom of this you have more variants, you’ve got the ability to set a transparent color and also you can go to the Picture Color Options.

Now when you’re on the Picture Color Options you’ll notice that over on the right you can change the presets. You can also work with the saturation and you can see when I pull this back or forth you can see more or less of the color in there.

And also you can work with what they call the temperature with some of the presets that we looked at. So I’m going to go ahead and change that a little bit. So working with that is going to allow you to change what your color looks like.

Okay. You’ve also got some artistic effects. So let’s say you like this but you want this one that kind of looks like some water or maybe something like this. This one is plastic wrap. So you can always work with these artistic effects which are really cool.

So just kind of know that you have all these options when it comes to your picture.

Now I want to tell you real quick about compressing the pictures because what happens is if you’re going to be emailing pictures or you’ve got a lot of them that need to go out in this presentation pictures take up a lot of space. So you might want to go ahead and work with some of these options as far as changing the resolution and that sort of thing. So just kind of know these are here.

One of the things to notice is the cropped areas that I mentioned earlier that they were still there. They’re just hidden. You can delete those cropped areas right here if you want. Alright? So I’m going to cancel that. Also you can change the picture totally.

So if you don’t like that particular picture just change it out with another one. And then we talked about reset picture where you can reset the picture to its original colors and size and things like that. So you do have a lot of things you can do as far as working with the colors of these pictures.

Now what I want to do now is we’ve talked a little bit about some different options with pictures as far as cropping and formatting and whatnot. But I really want to make use of some of the different things we’ve talked about in module six and seven to show you how to layer some pictures and to make use out of some pieces and parts of pictures. So just join me over in section four and let’s talk about making some good use with some of these pictures.

Chris “Simon” Calder was working as a Project Manager in IT for one of Los Angeles’ most prestigious cultural institutions, LACMA. He taught himself to use Microsoft Project from a giant textbook and hated every moment of it. Online learning was in its infancy then, but he spotted an opportunity and made an online MS Project course - the rest, as they say, is history!
