Adjust: Compress Pictures

PowerPoint is a visual platform. A simple slide show may have many pictures. There is an option to Compress the pictures, to reduce the size of the presentation.

 

6. Try it: Compress the Pictures

Begin on Slide 1. Select the picture.

Go to Picture Tools->Format-> Adjust.

Select Compress Pictures.

 
What Do You See? You will be prompted to choose what resolution you wish. The Target output for Print resolution is higher than Screen or E-mail. It is a compromise between size and clarity.

 

What Else Do You See? You can Compress just the picture you selected or all of the pictures in this presentation.

 

This is also where you can Delete cropped areas of pictures.
