INTRODUCTION

PowerPoint offers you a unique way to display photographs in a presentation: You can turn them into a photo album. The Photo Album feature takes the selected photograph files and turns them into slides.

TIP

Locating Photos

You can click the Look In drop-down arrow in the Insert New Pictures dialog box to look for photos in another folder or drive.

Removing a Photo from the List

If you accidentally selected pictures in the Insert New Picture dialog box that you do not need, you can easily remove them using the Photo Album dialog box. Click the name of the picture in the Pictures in Album list, and then click the Remove button to remove the picture.

TIP

Adjusting the Picture

In the Photo Album dialog box, you can adjust crooked pictures using the Rotate Counterclockwise or Rotate Clockwise buttons . Select the crooked image in the Pictures in Album list, and then click the button.
