However, “dramatic” can often equal “distracting”. There are a number of Shape Effect options, and you can really do some dramatic effects. Now as you can see, there is a slight shadow on the image, and it has some depth to it (which makes it look more polished):Īs I mentioned at the top, this is best used (in my opinion) in a subtle fashion. For my example here, I’m simply going to take the Outer Shadow that offsets to the bottom right of the image: There are a number of options, such as outer shadows, inner shadows, and reflective perspectives. If I select the image, I can then use the Picture Tools Format > Shape Effects option to select Shadow effects for the picture: It’s functional, but it doesn’t stand out at all: When I start out with this image, it’s flat with a small blue border. However, you can use the Shape Effects option to add some depth to the image, and it can make your slides look a lot more professional. When you add an image into a PowerPoint slide, it normally starts out in a pretty flat state. This is a subtle tip (or at least it should be in my opinion).
