An image cropped several ways
This technique allows you to extract several images from the same source
image.
This is a technique I learnt the concept of cropping images from Rick Flohr
at PowerPoint Live in New
Orleans.
In PowerPoint 2007, I:
- I placed an image as the slide background
- Covered it with a rectangular auto shape with a slight transparency so I
could see the image behind.
- Placed a rectangular auto shape over the top of the lower auto shape and
set its background fill to Slide background.
Then, it is simply a case of moving the upper-most auto shape around to see
how many kinds of cropped images I can get from the original!
In each of the following examples, the colored image is what would be
extracted, by cropping the rest of the image away that is dark blue.
