Yes, it's important to know what you can and can't do with any tool. For advanced photo editing, Photoshop is still the place to go. That said, most things you need to do with your photos you can do inside of PowerPoint.
Good job!!!! Very clear and precise!! It is a wonderful feeling to come across proper, clear, short and sweet training content without going around the bush for ever and ever.... Amazing job and keep it up! Thank you!
I agree! She got right to the tutorial, no fast forwarding which I usually end up doing in most videos to get to the section where the teaching begins. Her voice is nice to listen too, and this video is easy to follow along with: coupled with the fact, it moves at a good pace, yet not so fast I needed to pause to write something down at any time.
I've discovered a site called remove.bg which is a free tool to separate a pic from its background. It used AI and is very accurate and easy to use. Definitely worth a try.
Hey Kamila I have a quick question. I have noticed that when you use the "mark area to keep" tool then your cursor is turned into a pen and you can draw it. But in my case it never turned to a pen, it either show the "+" or just straight line. Unlike you can draw freely where you want to keep the area. So could you help me out that how can customise this tools in my powerpoint? By the way, I'm using PowerPoint 2016 version. Waiting for your reply...
Excellent video quality! I was looking for method 2 because I only need to make few adjustments and your video really helped me out. Thank you so much!
Glad that helped you out! Like most things in PowerPoint, there are a variety of different ways to get the job done. If you ever need a quick refresher, we wrote up all of the different ways to remove the background from an image in the following blog post: nutsandboltsspeedtraining.com/powerpoint-tutorials/remove-background-from-image/
I’m looking for this end result but operating on iPad and don’t have power point. Is there an app, preferably free or inexpensive, that can accomplish the same effect/result?

Thanks for making this video. Whenever I use the 'Mark Areas to Keep' option, I can only draw a straight line. I'm not able to draw circles like you did, since one end of the line is anchored at the starting point. Do you know why?
Glad it was helpful! It's amazing what you can do with pictures in PowerPoint, including turning your images into paintings or sketch drawings for cool effects. Check out my blog post for a quick how to if you are interested. nutsandboltsspeedtraining.com/powerpoint-tutorials/photo-to-sketch/
Hi. My daughter like many other children is in lockdown and has been sent work by her school via the HUB. Whilst using the HUB to access her work she has access to Office 365. But only online. In PowerPoint After highlighting the image we wish to set background to transparent, we select the picture tab in the top. But we don't get the format option that is shown in this video anywhere. We've used PNG and JPG files and still the same outcome, no format option anywhere in any of the taskbar tabs. Is the internet version of office 365 different to the desktop version?
Thanks for the suggestion. What you can do is just overlay the background you want behind the photo that you remove the background for. That is a fast way to add your own user background. Just overlay the photos and you should be good to go.
Other than the PowerPoint app, I'm not sure. My guess would be that the photoshop app would allow you to do that, but sometimes apps lack the features of their desktop cousin programs.
Happy to help! Glad you enjoyed the video. I also recommend checking out the following PowerPoint shortcuts video: ruclips.net/video/JuK8yR3Whjw/видео.html
@@Nutsandboltsspeedtraining PC/Win 10 ...I figured it out ... It's under "Customize The Toolbar" where you can add more menu options on the ribbon. Thanks!!
My Office 365 Power Point does not display the ribbon that yours does. Mine has no "Remove Background" or "Color" keys in the Picture Format tab. How do I get my ribbon to look and function like yours? I've tried both of my Office 365 subscriptions, and neither has it in either "classic" or "simple" ribbon mode.
That is odd. Even if you are using a MAC, that feature should still be there. Double check that you are working with a JPEG or a PNG image to open up those picture editing tools.
Yes, right-click the picture, select Save As Picture and change the filte type to JPG. Just be aware that in most applications, your removed background will show as a white fill (not as a transparent background like it will in PowerPoint). If you want it to remain transparent for other programs, you will need to save your picture as a PNG instead.
Hey excellent Video , when i save the pic though to use it later on (right click on the pic and click save as) the quality of the pic is really lowered how can i keep the same quality?Is it possible?
Great question. First off, when you right-click and save, which file type are you choosing to save as? The PNG file type should give you the same quality photo as what's on your slide. If you feel it's radically different, double check that you didn't accidentally compress the photo to a lower quality version, see our blog post for image quality options: nutsandboltsspeedtraining.com/powerpoint-tutorials/powerpoint-compress-images/ If you want me to take a look at it for you, send me the two photo at taylor (at) nutsandboltsspeedtraining.com and I will take a look and see what's happening.
Yes, right-click the picture and select Save As Picture. You will need to save it as a PNG to keep the background removed and transparent. If you choose JPEG the removed background will be white. Transparent backgrounds only work with PNGs. Give it a shot and let me know if that worked for you.
Glad I could help! With the background removed, you can then compress your picture size to save some space too. For help with that, check out our most recent video: ruclips.net/video/WKEKUzatckY/видео.html
This is really great. Thanks for the info
Thanks for the comment and good luck with your presentations!
