Imagine this scenario: you chose what you thought was a perfect picture. So you inserted the picture, and then enhance it using the cool picture editing options available in PowerPoint. And then, you discover a better picture, or your boss asked you to use another picture. You also need to retain all the effects and animations! You could 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. Explore more in the following tutorials – select the one that matches your PowerPoint version:

PowerPoint is a slide program that also includes some cool picture editing tools up its sleeve. When we say “cool”, we certainly do not mean just inserting a picture, or even the fact that you can apply corrections or recolor hues. PowerPoint provides around 23 filters as part of its new Artistic Effects option. Some of these filters (effects) can make your pictures look like paintings or sketches, and others can change the texture of your pictures. Apply any effect of your choice, and make sure you play around with all the options available to be aware of the surprisingly different results you can achieve right within PowerPoint.

Working with pictures in PowerPoint can be so much fun and fulfilling at the same time. One of the coolest options is to recolor the hue of your entire picture so that it looks almost like a duotone picture. This option also allows you to saturate color values, change the overall color tone, and do more.

A picture needs to be corrected when it is too dark or too bright, and this can happen if the lighting was not proper when you clicked the original picture with your camera. Additionally, you may also want to make some tonal changes to a picture so that it stands apart. In the following tutorials you will learn how to make corrections to inserted pictures in terms of their brightness, sharpness, softness, and contrast values, all from within PowerPoint without having to use an external program!
