- [Narrator] Now, let's take a look at how to add images
and graphics to your PowerPoint presentation.
So, we're going to start off with images,
and we can insert those wherever we want
in our presentation.
Now, before we get started,
I kind of want to affect this just a little bit.
So I'm going to go ahead and select this
quarterly status text box, and I'm going to change the font.
So I'm going to change the font color.
So from my home ribbon,
I'm just going to select a lighter font.
And then I want to move this up towards the top
because I have an image I want to insert beneath.
So let's go ahead and just click on this middle handle
and move it up.
So now I have some room to work underneath this title.
Now we're going to insert an image
and we can do that in the insert ribbon.
So I'm going to select insert.
And here, on the left, under images, we have three options.
One is to insert a photo album.
One is to take a screenshot and insert that.
So if I pull it down, you'll see we have two options here.
One is to screenshot just the available windows
that we have on our desktop,
or we can do what's called screen clipping,
which means you draw a box around the stuff
that you want to screenshot,
and it will insert that into your presentation.
Now we're going to work with pictures.
So I'm going to pull down pictures here
and we have three options.
One is stock images, and these are all out in the clouds.
You need to make sure you have
an internet connection to see these.
We also have online pictures
and this uses Bing to search the internet for pictures.
And with all of these types of images,
you want to make sure that you respect
the copyright of the image owner,
but we're actually going to use an image
that we already have.
So I'm going to close this and go to pictures,
and we're going to insert a picture from this device.
Now, when I do, we're going to go into
our exercise files assets folder,
and you'll see here, we have one called Red30_Tech_V_logo.
So that's the vertical version of our logo.
So I'm going to go ahead and select that and hit insert.
Now when I do, it brings it into the slide and centers it.
And it gives us some controls that
are very similar to the text box that we worked with.
So I can select and just left-click and drag.
And you'll notice that as I move this around,
it'll start to snap.
So if you move it towards the center,
it'll snap here at the center.
If I move it up,
it'll snap to the bottom of that frame.
If I go down,
it'll center it completely to this slide.
And let's say, I wanted to make it bigger or smaller.
Well, if I click here, it will actually stretch it.
And that's not what I want.
I just want to make it bigger, without stretching.
So I'm going to hold down the shift-key,
hover over the corner, left-click and drag,
and that will keep the aspect ratio of that image.
And then I'm going to reposition it and center it.
Now, in addition to scaling
and sizing the image, you can also rotate it.
So all I have to do is click there at the top
and I can rotate it.
Now I'm going to undo that.
In addition to positioning this, when you select the image,
you'll get this additional format menu,
and that will allow you to change the format of this image.
And so if you hover over here,
we've got some nice styles that we can use,
but we can also add them manually.
We can do picture borders.
We can do picture effects.
So if I wanted to, I could do something like a reflection.
We could do soft edges, bevels, we could do 3D rotation.
We have a lot of different options here,
including drop shadows.
And over here on the left,
we can do things such as color effects.
So if I wanted to, I could actually change
the color of this if I don't like it.
I can affect the transparency of it.
I can do artistic effects.
So if there's a different type of effect I want,
I could certainly do that.
So, we have a number of different options
for inserting, manipulating
and changing our images in PowerPoint.
