Hello, Picture Tools!

When you click on a picture, you will see the picture frame and handles. That is your clue that the picture has been selected.

 

You should also see the Picture Tools. The Picture Tools appear when you click on a picture. They disappear when the picture is no longer selected.

 

3. Try it: Now You See It, Now You Don't.

Click on the picture. The Picture Tools are available. Click on the blank page so that the picture in not selected (it no longer has handles) and the Picture Tools hide.

 

Memo to Self: The Picture Tools always appear on the far right side of the Ribbons. Sometimes, you need to look. PowerPoint may still display the last Ribbon you touched, say the Home Ribbon, even though you just selected a picture.
