Hello--

Is there a way to manipulate/edit existing Powerpoint templates? I.E., is
there a way to drag the files into Photoshop?

I found where the templates are stored under the application folder and
tried opening them in Photoshop with no luck. I know I can take a screenshot
and open in PS that way, however was looking for a better solution.

Thanks!
 
If you have Photoshop, you likely have Acrobat. I'd suggest making a high res
pdf of the template slide(s) and then open the pdf in Photoshop

Which version of PowerPoint do you use? The file format of PowerPoint is
totally different from Photoshop. If theres an image in the template which
you want to edit, right-click on it and choose "Save as image" in any bitmap
format you like (PNG, JPG, BMP, ...). Edit that bitmap image in Photoshop
and save it. Delete the original image from the master slide of the
PowerPoint template and insert the edited image.

Best regards,
Ute

Photoshop will not open a powerpoint file.

You need to either 'grab' the screen,

or

export the individual elements that make up the template

then edit them in photoshop.

It'll depend somewhat on the template and the type of edits you want to do.

I'd start by opening a copy of the template in PowerPoint. The choose View,
Master, Slide Master and see if you can do the necessary edits right there.
