In the past, the only way to correct these types of problems was to edit the picture in a photo-editing program such as Adobe Photoshop. Because not many people have Photoshop or know how to use it, Office 2019 contains simple photo-editing tools that anyone can use to correct minor flaws.\r\n\r\nAfter you’ve corrected any flaws, Office 2019 also lets you turn your photographs into art by adding frames, tilting the picture sideways, or adding a visual effect that makes the picture look more like a painting.\r\n\r\nYou can also add photographs, correct them, and modify them to give all your Word, Excel, or PowerPoint files that extra bit of color and showmanship.\r\n\r\nFor touchscreen users, Office 2019 gives you the option of drawing directly on a document. Now you can circle paragraphs or numbers and draw arrows to highlight important data. With these new drawing features, you can mark up documents as easily as you mark up paper documents with a pencil or pen.\r\nAdding and Deleting Pictures in Office 2019\r\nTo add a picture to a file, follow these steps:\r\n\r\n \tClick the Insert tab.\r\n \tClick the Pictures icon.\r\n\r\nThe Insert Picture dialog box appears.\r\n \tSelect the picture file you want to insert.\r\n\r\nYou may need to select a different folder or drive that contains the picture you want to insert.\r\n \tClick the Insert button.\r\n\r\n \tIn Word, your picture appears wherever the cursor appears.\r\n \tIn Excel, the upper-left corner of your picture appears in the cell where the cursor appears.\r\n \tIn PowerPoint, your picture appears in the center of the currently displayed slide.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nTo delete a picture in a file, follow these steps:\r\n\r\n \tSelect the picture that you want to delete.\r\n\r\nHandles appear around your selected picture.\r\n \tPress the Delete or Backspace key.\r\n\r\nGetting pictures from the Internet to use in Office 2019\r\nEvery Office 2019 application can retrieve images from the Internet (if your computer has Internet access).\r\nMany images on the Internet are copyrighted. You can't legally use them without written permission. When retrieving images from the Internet, look for public domain images, which anyone can freely and legally use, such as pictures captured by government agencies or sites that collect public domain images.\r\nTo retrieve an image from the Internet, follow these steps:\r\n\r\n \tClick the Insert tab.\r\n \tClick the Online Pictures icon.\r\n\r\nAn Insert Pictures dialog box appears.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_257229\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"535\"] The Insert Pictures dialog box lets you use Bing to search for images.[/caption]\r\n \tClick in the Bing search box and type a descriptive name for the image you want to find, such as cat or rose.\r\n \tPress Enter.\r\n\r\nThe Insert Pictures dialog box displays a list of images.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_257230\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"535\"] The Insert Pictures dialog box displays images found on the Internet.[/caption]\r\n \tClick the check box in the upper-left corner of the image that you want to use and the click the Insert button.\r\n\r\nOffice 2019 inserts your chosen picture in your file.\r\n\r\nCapturing screenshots to use in Office 2019\r\nMany times, you may run programs on your computer that contain images you'd like to insert into an Office 2019 document. For example, you might want to show how a web page appears in a browser or how a particular program looks. Fortunately, Office includes a handy feature for capturing screenshots that you can insert into any Office 2019 file.\r\n\r\nTo capture a screenshot, follow these steps:\r\n\r\n \tDisplay the image on your monitor that you want to capture.\r\n \tClick the Insert tab and then click the Screenshot icon.\r\n\r\nThe Screenshot icon displays a menu of currently open programs.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_257231\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"507\"] The Screenshot icon menu of currently open windows.[/caption]\r\n \tCapture the image you want:\r\n\r\n \tTo capture the entire program window, click the window in the Screenshot menu.\r\n \tTo capture part of the screen, click Screen Clipping. When the mouse pointer turns into a crosshair, drag the mouse to select the part of the screen you want to capture.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nOffice 2019 inserts your chosen image in your file.\r\n\r\nManipulating Pictures in Office 2019\r\nAfter you add a picture to a file, it may not be in the correct position or be the right size. As a result, you may want to move, resize, or rotate it.\r\nMoving a picture in Office 2019\r\nTo move a picture, follow these steps:\r\n\r\n \tSelect the picture that you want to move.\r\n\r\nHandles appear around your selected picture.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_257232\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"535\"] Handles appear to show that you selected a picture.[/caption]\r\n \tMove the picture, using one of the following methods:\r\n\r\n \tMove the mouse pointer over the picture and drag the mouse.\r\n \tPress the up, down, left, or right arrow key.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nResizing a picture in Office 2019\r\nTo resize a picture, follow these steps:\r\n\r\n \tSelect the picture that you want to move.\r\n\r\nHandles appear around your selected picture.\r\n \tMove the mouse pointer over a handle, hold down the left mouse button, and drag the mouse.\r\n \tWhen you’re happy with the size of the picture, release the mouse button.\r\nIf you drag a corner handle, you can change the height and width of a picture at the same time.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf you click the Format tab, you can type a precise width and height for your picture in the Height and Width text box displayed in the Size group.\r\n\r\nRotating a picture in Office 2019\r\nTo create an interesting effect, you may want to rotate a picture in a file. To rotate a picture, follow these steps:\r\n\r\n \tSelect the picture that you want to rotate.\r\n\r\nHandles appear around your selected picture. Note that the rotate handle appears to be sticking up from the top of the picture.\r\n \tMove the mouse pointer over the rotate handle and drag the mouse.\r\n\r\nThe mouse pointer turns into a circular arrow icon when you move it over the rotate handle.\r\n\r\nEnhancing Pictures to use in Office 2019\r\nSometimes a picture may look almost perfect but still need some minor corrections. Other times a picture may look plain, but by adding some visual effects, you can turn it into a work of art.\r\n\r\nTo help you make your pictures look prettier and more visually engaging, Office 2019 lets you choose different effects, colors, frames, and styles.\r\nChoosing visual effects in Office 2019\r\nOffice 2019 offers several different ways to alter a picture’s visual appearance:\r\n\r\n \tCorrections: Sharpens or softens a picture, or adjusts the brightness or contrast\r\n \tColor: Adjusts the tone or saturation of a picture’s color, or lets you change the color of a picture\r\n \tArtistic Effects: Makes a picture appear as different styles, such as a mosaic or a watercolor painting\r\n \tPicture Effects: Lets you add visual effects to a picture, such as shadows, glows, or rotation\r\n\r\nTo choose a visual effect for a picture in Office 2019, follow these steps:\r\n\r\n \tClick the picture that you want to modify.\r\n\r\nThe Picture Tools Format tab appears on the Ribbon.\r\n \tClick the Corrections icon on the Picture Tools Format tab.\r\n\r\nWhen you click the Corrections icon, a menu of correction options appears.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_257233\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"535\"] The Corrections icon displays different ways to fix a picture.[/caption]\r\n \tSelect a Corrections option from the menu.\r\n \tClick the Color icon.\r\n\r\nA menu of color options appears.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_257234\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"535\"] The Color icon displays different types of color options.[/caption]\r\n \tSelect a Color option from the menu.\r\n \tClick the Artistic Effects icon.\r\n\r\nA menu of visual effects options appears.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_257235\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"535\"] The Artistic Effects icon displays unique visual effects.[/caption]\r\n \tSelect an Artistic Effects option from the menu.\r\n \tClick the Picture Effects icon.\r\n\r\nA menu of color options appears. You may need to click a submenu to display additional options.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_257236\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"436\"] The Picture Effects icon displays different ways to enhance your picture.[/caption]\r\n \tClick a Picture Effects submenu, and then select an option.\r\n\r\nChoosing a picture style in Office 2019\r\nRather than force you to make individual changes to a picture, Office 2019 provides a collection of predefined picture styles that you can apply to any picture added to a file. To choose a picture style in Office 2019, follow these steps:\r\n\r\n \tClick the picture that you want to modify.\r\n\r\nThe Picture Tools Format tab appears on the Ribbon.\r\n \tClick a style displayed in the Picture Styles group:\r\n\r\n \tTo view these options one row at a time, click the up or down arrow in the Picture Styles group.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_257237\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"529\"] The up and down arrows and More button in the Picture Styles group.[/caption]\r\n \tTo view all picture styles at once, click the More button.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_257239\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"534\"] The More button displays all available picture styles.[/caption]\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAdding a border around a picture in Office 2019\r\nTo help make your picture stand out, you may want to add a border. A border can appear in different colors, thicknesses, and styles (such as a solid line or a dotted line).\r\n\r\nTo add or modify a border around a picture in Office 2019, follow these steps:\r\n\r\n \tClick the picture that you want to modify.\r\n\r\nThe Picture Tools Format tab appears on the Ribbon.\r\n \tClick the Picture Border icon.\r\n\r\nA pull-down menu of different colors and options appears.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_257240\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"321\"] The Picture Border icon displays a menu.[/caption]\r\n \tChoose a color that you want for your border.\r\n \tClick the Weight submenu and choose a weight (thickness).\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_257241\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"427\"] The Weight submenu lets you define the thickness of a border.[/caption]\r\n \tClick the Dashes submenu and choose the type of line to use as the border.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_257243\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"397\"] The Dashes submenu lets you define the line used to create a border.[/caption]\r\n","item_vector":null},"titleHighlight":null,"descriptionHighlights":null,"headers":null,"categoryList":["technology","software","microsoft-products","general-microsoft"],"title":"How to Add and Edit Pictures in Office 2019","slug":"how-to-add-and-edit-pictures-in-office-2019","articleId":257228}]},"relatedArticlesStatus":"success"},"routeState":{"name":"Article4","path":"/article/technology/software/microsoft-products/powerpoint/how-to-apply-artistic-effects-to-powerpoint-2013-pictures-168479/","hash":"","query":{},"params":{"category1":"technology","category2":"software","category3":"microsoft-products","category4":"powerpoint","article":"how-to-apply-artistic-effects-to-powerpoint-2013-pictures-168479"},"fullPath":"/article/technology/software/microsoft-products/powerpoint/how-to-apply-artistic-effects-to-powerpoint-2013-pictures-168479/","meta":{"routeType":"article","breadcrumbInfo":{"suffix":"Articles","baseRoute":"/category/articles"},"prerenderWithAsyncData":true},"from":{"name":null,"path":"/","hash":"","query":{},"params":{},"fullPath":"/","meta":{}}},"dropsState":{"submitEmailResponse":false,"status":"initial"},"sfmcState":{"newsletterSignupStatus":"initial"}}

The Artistic Effects command in PowerPoint 2013 applies one of several special filters to your picture in an effort to make the picture look like it was created by an artist rather than photographed with a $60 digital camera. Depending on the nature of the original picture, the results may or may not be convincing; the only way to find out is to try.

Here is a list of the artistic effects that are available on the Artistic Effects button:

Marker
Pencil Grayscale
Pencil Sketch
Line Drawing
Chalk Sketch
Paint Strokes
Paint Brush
Glow Diffused
Blur
Light Screen
Watercolor Sponge
Film Grain
Mosaic Bubbles
Glass
Cement
Texturizer
Crisscross Etching
Pastels Smooth
Plastic Wrap
Cutout
Photocopy
Glow Edges

To apply one of these effects, simply double-click the picture, click the Artistic Effects button on the Picture Tools Format tab, and choose the effect you want from the gallery.

To give you an idea of what these effects can accomplish, this figure shows how a photograph appears with the Pencil Sketch, Watercolor Sponge, and Plastic Wrap filters applied.
