In case you do not know the process, click on the Insert > Image. After that, you can choose a source and insert a picture by following the screen instructions.
After inserting, you can see a button called Format options under the navigation menu. Click on it to get all the image editing related options on your right-hand side.
Here is a list of the options that you can find-
- Size and rotation: It allows you to tweak the default dimension of the picture. You can change it by unit or percentage. Apart from that, you can rotate the image.
- Position: You can select the location where you want to show the image on the slide.
- Re-colour: If the default color is not good enough for your presentation, you can make use of this option to apply a different effect.
- Adjustment: You can adjust the transparency, brightness, and contrast of the image.
- Drop-shadow: You can grab the attention of the viewer by adding the drop-shadow. In that case, you can add a drop-shadow to your image, change the transparency level of the drop-shadow, angle, and blue radius.
- Reflection: If you want to show a reflection under the original image, you can toggle this option. It is possible to change the transparency level, distance, and size of the reflection.
In case you want to save the edited image to your computer, you need to go to File > Download > JPEG image/PNG image.
