Hi all,

Well the PowerPoint Live event was GREAT and it inspired me to follow
through on something I promised many at least a year ago. The first two of
many planned PowerPoint animation and graphics tutorials have been completed
and uploaded.

1 = "The Power of Ping" which covers how the .png image format can give your
images a polished look and how to create them (in PhotoShop).
2 = "Let The Good Times Roll" explains how to accomplish some advanced
animation in PowerPoint XP/2003, by having a round image roll onto the
slide.

All are welcome to download. Links are on the left column at

Troy,

Cool! I like the ping one particularly as I need to personally learn more
about graphic editing software.

Hi Troy!

Hey, can we post these on the Patrons' page at the PPTLive site?


Not as familiar with Photoshop as I am Corel PhotoPaint, I was
scratching my head over the steps for the PNG file. I followed each of
them no problem, but all the while I was left wondering:

Why not just export the image as a PNG file??


In PhotoPaint, there is a PNG export which allows you to opt for a
transparent background and lets you choose which color to make
transparent. With a uniform background as in your example, it would be
a one-step process in PhotoPaint: Export as PNG, turning Transparent
Background on. Done.

Doesn't Shop have a similar capability?
 
Hi Rick,

Photopaint has lots of great features - but using PhotoShop since version 2
I have become entrenched in it and not familiar with the other image editors
out there (and there are a number of good ones). The tutorial image is very
simplistic (I actually dropped out the 'complex' background saved it with a
solid white background). If given this particular image you could easily
eliminate 2-3 steps listed in the tutorial, but the more often the image
needed will have a complex background that cannot be selected as a color. In
this case there is some idea of how to proceed because it was detailed in
the tutorial.

At least that was my train of thought....

Troy Chollar
