  2. Crop a picture to fit a shape Closed captions I’ll find a picture style I like, such as this one, with a white border and perspective shadow, and click to apply it. For more information, see the course summary and do more experimenting with PowerPoint. This opens the Shapes gallery, where you choose a shape for the picture. Note that Crop to Shape maintains the picture’s aspect ratio, meaning its height-to-width proportions. That shape works nicely, cutting out little of the image and giving it rounded corners.

Then I’ll click Picture Border again, point to Weight, and increase the width of the border Following this process, I quickly got a more elaborate picture style, That’s a nice, simple accent.
