How to Chop-off the Logo without Hurting the Teddy

Crop Unwanted Part of an Image without Harming the Main Element

Well, I think both of these titles can together explain the gist of this post. Sometimes when dealing with PowerPoint, we may find ourselves stuck at some images, which have certain queer edges, making it almost impossible to crop without mutilating the main object. The image of the teddy given in the beginning of the post explains this problem well.

If we try to simply crop this image to avoid the logo (Howtodo.com is what it reads), we will find that we can do it only either incompletely or cutting away one of the legs of the teddy.

So, how can we chop off the logo without hurting the teddy?

In such cases, we can do it more effectively with some small tricks.

Just click on the image, and rotate the image by clicking and turning on the rotating handle in such a way that the logo is placed at the bottom of the image.

Now, copy the image, and using the paste special option, paste it as a PNG.

Now, try to chop off the logo using the crop tool. You will find that now it is possible to remove the logo without harming any part of the teddy bear.

Hope you like the trick.

Even in the case of filling some online forms also, you might have come across people with trouble in grasping the ‘seemingly sophisticated’ procedures and steps.

An approach that incorporates technology and creativity equally can do wonders in this new-generation method of learning. This new method of learning may generally be called elearning. Coming to the terminology, you might have noticed the spelling of the name given to this new learning system.

Remove Image Backgrounds Using Paint in PowerPoint – An Outdated Update

The traditional methods of removing backgrounds of images in PowerPoint 2007 version have become obsolete now with the advent of the innovative background removal tool in the 2010 version. But since what the proverb reminds us is being late is better than being never’, I decided to post a small tip, using which we can make the background removal in 2007 version a little bit finer with the application of MS Paint. We know two methods of background removing in PowerPoint 2007. In the first method , we draw an outline of the main object in our image using freeform shape and fill the shape using the picture or texture fill option. In the second method , we draw outlines of the background areas of the image using free form tool, give same colour to all shapes, and after making the entire group into a PNG image remove the background portions using set transparaent colour option. But while using this second method, many of you might have found the light outline of the shapes as a disturbnace...

Conclude Your E-Learning Modules with a Shrinking Cinematic Effect

Hey! And I am back, and this time with a simple PowerPoint effect created based on the basic animations. I think this effect can be used as an alternative method to end your e-learning tutorials with a cinematic effect while scrolling up the credit lines. The below screenr will show you the Shrinking Cinematic Effect and the steps which I used to create the effect. If you find my awkward pronunciation difficult to follow, scroll down this page further, and you will see the steps in written format with additional images. In these following steps, I am showing you a different example. If it was Pierce Brosnan who appeared in my Screenr video, now it is the turn of Tom and Jerry. Step 1: You have the image of Tom & Jerry placed in a PowerPoint slide covering entirely the slide area. In this example, I have changed the slide background colour into black. Step 2: Copy the image, place it exactly on top of the first imag...
