Forget Photoshop and pricey stock photography—you already have everything you need to create professional looking image-centric slides in PowerPoint.

This session will help you source high-resolution stock imagery (for little and even no cost), insert it into PowerPoint, and use built-in tools and techniques to edit and combine your imagery with text just like a professional graphic designer. 

Participants will learn how to:

• Identify images that work best in presentation
• Use PowerPoint features that automate layout and alignment
• Crop and edit imagery like a pro
• Combine text with photos
• Keep file size to a minimum without compromising image quality
