How to Prevent Image Distortion in Portrait PowerPoint Slides?


Pictures play an essential role in presentation slides because they impart visual appeal to the slides. In addition to that, for the images to create a more significant impact, you can also add margins and animations to them. If you are creating a slideshow and trying to figure out a method to switch the slide layout's page orientation without it leading to image distortion, then read on to find out more.

Changing Layout before Adding the Image

By resetting the image back to its original properties, the image will not get distorted on portrait layout.

When the layout is altered to portrait before adding the image, the image would merely get implanted according to the breadth of the slide, that is if the picture is not too small. However, the backdrop of the slide will appear above and below the image. 

If you are following this method, then it might be useful to set the backdrop of the slides to either jet black or white. By doing so, nothing except the image will get displayed on the screen when the presentation is on. If the slide has a heading, then it will display along with the image.

When the Presentation Orientation has already been set

If the slideshow has been made in the landscape mode, then sadly, all the images would need to be added again. However, there is another way to combat this. Find the steps below:
  1.   Click right on the distorted image in the slide.
  2.    From the list, select Size and Position.
  3.    Now, a Format Picture prompt will launch.
  4.    In the Scale section, untick the square next to Relative to original picture size.
  5.   After that, click on Reset.
  6.   When prompted, click on Close.
  7.   Now, the image will be set to its original dimensions.
  8.  You may also crop or resize the image for it to fit the slide.

How to do Zoom meetings like a pro from your iPad

Image
My whole life is on video now. Zoom, Houseparty, Facetime, Hangout, Skype -- I'm signing up for all these services to keep up with business, family, friends. We're swapping devices. We're using phones, laptops, iPads, Chromebooks, whatever's around. Whatever you pick, there's a drawback. Phones are easy to use and have great front-facing cameras, but are small and hard to share. Laptops are great for propping up and being hands-free, and the camera's perfectly positioned -- but laptops are bulky, and the cameras are often terrible. (Tips for making even a  mediocre laptop webcam look better are here .) Then there's the iPad . That bigger display, that better-than-your-laptop front-facing camera, its ease of use. It sounds like group-chat magic. It generally is, but there are some issues, too. How to prop it up? The iPad on its own is a large, flat slab that you could hold in your hands, but I'd rather prop up. There are plenty of
