Researching and Presenting Data/Creating/Images

Inserting a picture from a file
When you are creating a presentation you may have photos that you would like to use: you are able to insert these into your presentation.

Inserting clip art
Powerpoint includes ready-made clip art that can be included in your presentations.

Resizing and moving images
Once you have inserted an image from a file or as clip art, you will probably need to adjust its size and its position on the page.

Cropping Images
Sometimes you only need part of the image, so you will need to remove parts of the image near the edge.

For example, in the photo below of Dunedin Railway Station we might crop the image below to focus on one part of the building:

Before cropping:



After cropping:



Note that the cropped image has also been resized to make it the same overall size as the original image.

Change Picture Styles
To improve the look of the image file you inserted you are able to add picture styles such as borders, shapes and effects.
