5. Working with Graphics • You can access graphics such as digital pictures or clip art from a number of sources. • Cropping Graphics • You can crop a graphic to trim one or more edges of the graphic. • To add blank space around the graphic, you can outcrop a graphic.

6. Working with Graphics (continued) • Cropping Graphics (continued) • Aspect ratio is the ratio between the width and height. Sizing handles with cropping feature enabled Cropped image with bottom portion removed

7. Working with Graphics (continued) • Resizing, Repositioning, and Changing Graphics • Sizing a graphic to exact proportions is referred to as scaling. • Nudgingis moving an object vertically or horizontally in small increments. • You can easily replace a picture using the Change Picture button.

8. Working with Graphics (continued) • Recoloring Graphics and Shapes • You can customize a graphic by changing the image colors. • When you add shapes to a slide, you can customize the shape formats with fills, outlines, and effects.

9. Working with Graphics (continued) • Recoloring Graphics and Shapes (continued) • Color options for picture

10. Working with Graphics (continued) • Inserting Animated Clip Art • One of the media type options in the Clip Art gallery is videos. • The clip art videos are GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) files. Clip art video with animation icon

11. Working with Graphics (continued) • Understanding Graphics File Formats • A raster graphicsimage consists of rows of tiny colored dots called pixels (shortfor picture elements) or bits that compose the image on a computer screen. • Also referred to as a bitmap • A vector graphics image consists of lines,curves, and shapes.

12. Working with Graphics (continued) • Modifying Pictures and Digital Images • Options on the Picture Tools Format tab can be used to adjust the way the picture looks. Corrections options

13. Working with Graphics (continued) • Converting Objects to a SmartArt Graphic • Once clip art images are added to a slide, you can convert the graphics to be included in a SmartArt object. • You can also convert shapes and WordArt objects to a SmartArt object.

14. Working with Graphics (continued) • Converting Objects to a SmartArt Graphic(continued) • Choose a SmartArt Graphic dialog box

15. Working with Graphics (continued) • Creating a Photo Album • The Photo Album feature creates a new presentation for a group of pictures. • You can modify the photos to enhance their appearance. Photo Album dialog box with new settings

16. Working with Graphics (continued) • Saving a Presentation as a Video • You can save aphoto album (or any presentation file) as a video in a .wmv format. Video format options

17. Working with Video and Sound Clips • Video and sound clips can make a presentation more interesting and effective. • Inserting and Editing a Video Clip • You can resize, move, recolor, and adjust contrast of an inserted video object. • Streaming video is media sent in acontinuous flow of data that can be played from an online source without waiting to download the file.

18. Working with Video and Sound Clips (continued) • Inserting and Editing a Video Clip (continued) • Trim Video dialog box

19. Working with Video and Sound Clips (continued) • Inserting a Sound Object • Adding a sound object is as easy as adding clip art or a picture. • Several audio file formats are compatible with PowerPoint. • A sound file is inserted on the current slide as an icon.

20. Working with Video and Sound Clips (continued) • Inserting a Sound Object (continued) • You can choose to play the sound automatically or when triggered by a click. Effect tab in the Play Audio dialog box

21. Working with Video and Sound Clips (continued) • Recording a Narration • Voice narrations are effective for Web-based presentations. • To record an audio clip, you must have a sound card and a microphone. Record Sound dialog box

22. Summary In this lesson, you learned: • You can easily modify graphics by resizing and repositioning them on the slide so they fit the slide design. • You are not limited to the original colors of a graphic. You can customize a graphic by changing its colors to match the other colors in the current theme.

23. Summary (continued) • One of the media type options in the Clip Art gallery is video, which consists of animated clip art images. • Graphics files can be saved in many different formats, and the format affects both the resolution quality of the graphic and the file size.

24. Summary (continued) • Graphics on a slide can be converted into a SmartArt object, and the objects in the diagram can then be animated. • The Photo Album feature makes it quick and easy to put together a presentation of photos. • Presentations can be saved as videos so that they can be viewed on a DVD player.

25. Summary (continued) • Sound and video clips provide other multimedia interest to a slide show. You can apply animation settings to play the sound and video clips automatically or you can control when they play. • Video clips can add an extra dimension to a presentation, and after inserting a video clip on a slide, you can trim the clip as needed.

26. Summary (continued) • Sound objects can also add interesting effects to slides. In addition to using audio clips, you can add sounds or narrations that you record.
