So now, you can start producing new and refreshing pictures by using simple picture modifying technique in Powerpoint presentation. These modified pictures are free for non-commercial use only.

To start modifying one Clip Art picture, let’s us begin with step 1.

Step 1: Do a Clip Art search for pictures with suitable keywords.

In this case, I want to show audiences about “The Fate of A Successful Person”. I did a Clip Art picture search with the keyword “Questions” earlier. Look at what I chose.

Step 2: Enlarge the chosen picture.

I’ve chosen a picture of a guy who’s wearing a tie with a dark brown suit. The picture is indeed small and then, I enlarge it to make it look clear enough for audiences to see.

Step 3: Picture modification.

Now, the picture is quite dull and it need some modification. You need to “Ungroup” the picture as shown in the picture above.
Just right-click the picture, then choose ‘Grouping” following by “Ungroup”.

Right after you have clicked “Ungroup”, a menu suddenly appears as shown in the picture above and click “Yes”.

I feel that the guy’s face is quite unclear that makes it quite unappealing. Then I carefully click the face area. Please refer the picture below. A small selection box appeared at the guy’s face. After that, just right-click the small selection box and choose “Format AutoShape”.

Then a “Format AutoShape” menu box appear. Choose any colors from “Fill” row. Finally just press “OK” to confirm changes that you’ve made.

Repeat the selection on your desirable areas including (eyebrows, eyes or the brown colored suit) and change the colors according to your preferences.

Voila! You have successfully learn how to produce your own brand new Clip Art picture! You can enhance your newly modified picture by flanking them with related Clip Art pictures.

From now on, your audiences will be mesmerized by your Powerpoint presentations with your brand new modified pictures.
