Using Powerpoint As Photoshop For Mac

One of the most useful tools in the PowerPoint Shapes Gallery is the Freeform Shape tool. It’s designed to create polygons on your PowerPoint slides, but with a twist: Not all the sides have to be straight lines. The Freeform Shape tool lets you build a shape with sides mixed of straight lines and free-form.

You already learned how to play with all the differentCrop options in PowerPoint 2011 -- all exceptthe Mask to Shape option, which we explain in this tutorial. Mask to Shape can be immensely helpful if youwant any picture to show contained within a shape. In other words, you start with a conventional, rectangular picture and end up a picturethat's not contained within a non-rectangular shape.
