Although using pictures enhances the look of your presentation, it can also phenomenally increase the size of your presentation file. By default, PowerPoint simply copies your inserted pictures into your presentation leaving the size and format largely unchanged. The Compress feature for pictures offers an image compression utility that reduces the size of all inserted pictures in the presentation in a single step.

Learn PowerPoint 2011 for Mac: Reset Pictures

Any manipulations you make to inserted pictures in PowerPoint are strictly only on the surface. The appearance of the picture changes on the slide, but the unaltered picture is still there within your PowerPoint file. Essentially that’s good because if you make many changes to a picture and then regret experimenting, you can just reset your picture rather than deleting and inserting it again!

In some cases, a haphazard arrangement of pictures may work — but most of the time you will have to align objects in a proper way on your slide. Even before you align pictures, you should explore whether all pictures are the same size or not.
