After everything traced, turn off the semi transparency Seriously, I think you can design any shape by using this feature.Ħ. With this feature, you can basically merge two images together (or remove one) to create any shape. Shape union and shape subtract are other awesome hidden feature within PowerPoint. It takes a little bit of playing around to get the hang of it. You can easily modify any shape by turning on the edit points, adding/deleting points, and changing the curves for each. This is one of the hidden features of PowerPoint shapes. Modify the shapes for a closer fit Edit points We’re going to tweak the shapes in the next step.ĥ. You can use your mouse to drag the handles to size and scale the shape, as well as adjust the rotation. Rotate and size/scale shapes to roughly match picture You’ll make tweaks in the next steps to make it match the drawing better. Use shapes like rectangles and squares to roughly trace the shapes of the main features.
Insert shapes to roughly trace the images The other trick you can use is right click, “save as default shape” and everything you draw will have the properties of this shape (instead of that terrible default blue color!!!)ģ. If you click on the shape and use the shortcut “Ctrl+Shift+C” you can copy the format of the selected shape, click on another shape and paste the format by using the shortcut “Ctrl+Shift+V” 2B: Set the default shape Once you have this semi-transparent, outline-free shape, you can now use 2 methods for the rest of your drawings 2A: Copy Format (Ctrl+Shift+C / Ctrl+Shift+V) Then draw your shape onto the slide, right click on the image->format shapeįrom the format shape window, increase the transparency and remove the line. To do this, click: insert->shapes->rectangle Create a semi transparent shape and remove the linesĪ semi-transparent shape makes it much easier to trace the image in the next step because you can see the base image below. In my example, I took a picture of a bike that was in my office.Ģ. Start with a representative picture as your base Get the exact files used in this lesson, follow along, and learn.
