Here's another cool technique you can use in PowerPoint. There are 3 pretty easy steps.
First, find your picture. Then, frame your picture. And finally, pop your picture. Ok,
let's kick it off with the first step. Now when you're choosing your picture, make sure
the part you want to pop out has a couple of key features: first, make sure it has contrast
- so we want to make sure it stands out from the background. As an example, this apple
has good contrast on all sides, except for the bottom, where it blends in with the shadow.
The second thing we want to make sure of is that the part you want to pop out is complete
and not cut off anywhere. So in this photo, for example, you can work with the hand and
the two heads of the people, but you can't use the left side of the image because it's
cut off. So as you can see, even if a picture isn't perfect, you can still work with certain
parts of it. Now that you get the idea of how to choose your photo, let's jump right
into the next step. Before we do anything else, let's just duplicate the image and save
it for a little bit later. Now give the image a white border to make it look like a photo,
and go to "crop" and crop to the shape of a trapezoid. Adjust the angle to how you want
it, hit "crop" again and cut out the top so it looks like this - and you are ready for
the next step. For this final step, just take your other image, and let's remove the background
from the top part. I'm using PowerPoint 2010 here, but there's a way to do it in earlier
versions too, as I've shown you in other videos. Ok, and this is where the magic happens. Just
put the image on top of your frame so that it pops out like this, and you are all finished.
See how easy that was? As a bonus, I'll show you just really quickly how to do the side
pop out effect. As you can see here, I just followed the same process in terms of one
image on top of the other. The difference here is that you have to layer the two first,
then group them and add the rotation. If you try to rotate this stuff without grouping
first, it'll be a lot harder. And here you can see what the different rotation options
do. Ok, well there you have it - hopefully a cool new technique with which you can impress
your audiences. As always, thanks for watching and see you again soon!
