| If you have a large collection of pictures, you can use PowerPoint to create a photo album. A PowerPoint photo album is a presentation that you can use to display your photographs and pictures. PowerPoint makes it easy for you to insert multiple pictures from your hard disk into your photo album. You can also customize the photo album by applying themes (New!) and using special layout options, such as oval frames and captions under each picture. When you setup captions in a photo album, PowerPoint automatically uses picture file name as caption placeholder text, which you can change later. You can also change the appearance of a picture in the photo album by adjusting rotation, contrast, and brightness. Create a New Photo Album

 Click the Photo Album button arrow, and then click New Photo Album.
