Whether you are communicating with an audience, your colleagues at work or a group of clients or potential clients, a PowerPoint presentation is a great way of getting you message across. But did you know, you can base a PowerPoint presentation around a group of images and, what's even better, PowerPoint will create the presentation for you. Naturally, creating a presentation in this way can only be done if the pictures relate very closely to the main content of your presentation. One example might be a presentation given during product training which requires detailed photographs of each product.

You begin by choosing New from the File menu which displays the New Presentation task pane on the right of your screen.

In the New Presentation task pane window, you click on the option marked “Photo Album”. When the Photo Album window appears, you begin identifying the images you want included in the presentation.

You can click on the button marked File/Disk to browse for the images or you can import them straight from your digital camera or scanner.

Your images are imported and listed in alphabetical order. This is almost certainly not the order in which you want them to appear in your presentation. So the next step is to rearrange them by clicking on the arrow icons to move selected images up or down in the list.

You can also remove images from the list by clicking the name of the image and clicking the Remove button. Next, you can check the tonal quality of each image.

You can increase or decrease the brightness or contrast as necessary by just clicking on one of the four image control icons.

In addition, you can rotate images clockwise or anti-clockwise by clicking on one of the two image transformation icons.

In addition to the images, you will almost certainly want to add some text on each of the slides. From the drop-down menu marked Picture Layout, you can indicate your preferred slide setup: one, two or four images; with or without a title.

There is also a check-box for you to choose whether your titles should be above or below the images.

If you wish, you can also change the shape of your images. This is done in a drop-down menu called Frame Shape.

The default shape is rectangular but also available are rounded rectangle, bevelled, oval, corner tabs, square tabs and plaque tabs. That's pretty much it. Click OK to exit the Photo Album dialogue box and PowerPoint will go ahead and create your presentation using the images and parameters you just specified. Add some text into the title box on each slide and your presentation is good to go!
