Once you add gradient fills to shapes in PowerPoint, you may want to make the gradient fill look a little different, or even a whole lot different. Yes, you can use the More Gradients option to add different types of gradients as fills to the shapes but that only provides more gradient fill types, and does not let you customize the colors within the gradient.

Imagine you have inserted a picture in PowerPoint, and then applied various picture editing options to enhance its appearance that includes applying a border, some Picture Effects, etc. Next, you also added a couple of animations such as Fade and Zoom, synced them to happen together, and also timed the animations to occur at a particular speed. And then you realize that you have a better picture, or your boss asked you to change the existing picture to another one, but with all the same effects and animations! You would probably delete the original picture and start all over again, and yes, that is a long process! Or you can change any existing picture into another with just a couple of clicks, retaining all effects and animations.
