Learn PowerPoint 2013 for Windows: Reposition Picture Fills with Crop

While making a visually strong PowerPoint presentation you can add shapes and pictures to it. You can also fill your shapes with pictures — maybe sometimes you end up with not so desirable results. Primarily, you’ll find that PowerPoint insists on filling the entire picture within the shape — in the process, the picture itself may appear distorted. Fortunately, regaining this lost proportion is an easy option, as you will learn in this tutorial.

Learn how to reposition the picture fill in a shape, using the Fill (Crop) option in PowerPoint 2013 for Windows.

Learn PowerPoint 2013 for Windows: Crop Pictures (Crop to Shape)

While you can do conventional cropping within PowerPoint 2013, you can also opt to forego the typical rectangular constraints, and use another shape to crop instead. This tutorial explains the Crop to Shape option that lets you choose non-rectangular cropping shapes for your pictures — the results tend to look like a picture has been contained within a shape.

Learn PowerPoint 2013 from Windows: Crop Pictures

After inserting a picture in your slide, you should first consider if the picture you have used complements the message of your presentation and slide. Even if it is relevant, you should consider making it more pertinent by removing the areas that may be not required — in other words, you must ponder and decide whether you want to use PowerPoint’s Crop options. Cropping an area removes extraneous areas, and lets you add focus to the areas of the picture that are appropriate to the topic of your presentation.
