Further, the dimensions donвЂ™t track the movement of the corners/edges вЂ“ you have to move them slightly and then check the size before trying again.

Unfortunately, you canвЂ™t set the dimensions of the crop directly you must move the corners and edges manually.

DonвЂ™t worry yet about the position of the photo in the cropping box:

Crop the picture to the frame size (2.5Г—3.75 ins).

NOTE: Lower resolution images may not retain good quality when they are enlarged. Duplicate the slide then resize and position the photo relative to the frame to get the result you want after the transition:

Add a вЂњframeвЂќ (the red-outlined rectangle) that is the same size and position as the photo.

Position and size the photo for the first slide make a note of the size of the photo (2.5Г—3.75 ins for this example).

Of course, the trick here is to get the second image right hereвЂ™s how I did it: See this entertaining post for more on this. In this case, it provides the desired result.

NOTE: I say вЂњsurprisinglyвЂќ because Morph is a bit of a mystery вЂ“ trial and error seems to be the only way to determine what Morph will actually do in a given situation. Surprisingly, Morph transforms the images smoothly. The Morph slide transition is set for the second slide: Two slides are used, one with the original image and the second with the desired transformation. Fortunately, thereвЂ™s an easier way using the Morph transition.

You might be tempted to use PowerPointвЂ™s Animation tools to implement this effect: a Zoom combined with a motion path plus a mask object to hide the unwanted parts of the picture during the zoom will work. The effect combines magnification with motion that keeps the desirable part of the image within the frame.The motion occurs within the вЂњframeвЂќ of the image helping to concentrate the viewerвЂ™s attention.The effect causes the viewerвЂ™s attention to be focused on the faces of the family group, increasing the impact of the image.This post is about creating these effects in PowerPoint using slide Transitions (especially Morph) and video. Motion is so important in our visual world that these effects seem natural and appropriate. When audio recordings are presented on YouTube, a series of still photos may provide visual accompaniment to the music. Zoom and movement enhance still photos in documentaries and television ads. Photo galleries or montages often use motion or other effects to introduce images.
