New PowerPoint tutorial (Power Cut) submitted by Mukund Nadkarni. While
Photoshop and other graphic editing software have Lasso Tool, this tutorial
shows you how to extract portion of images from its background just using
PowerPoint alone. More info at: http://pptheaven.mvps.org

Very, very good.

A variation of this approach would be to Copy and Paste Special the grouped
images as a png into your PowerPoint slide. Then use the Transparency tool to
eliminate the background (make sure the drawn object doesn't use a border and
is filled with a color that contrasts the original inserted image.
 
Sounds good. I guess the main difference with this approach would be you are
using the freeform tool to trace the background instead of the image.

Thanks for the suggestion on the various approach. It sure gives PowerPoint
more options when it comes to image editing. <g>

Shawn,

Very interesting! It is a bit like a mask that is built, and then the image
put as the background.
