What are the steps to apply preset 4 picture effects to an image?

To apply preset picture effects in PowerPoint, the process begins with selecting the image you want to modify. After the image is selected, you access the Picture Tools Format tab that appears in the Ribbon. This tab has specific formatting options for images, which include the ability to apply various effects such as shadow, glow, and reflection.

Once in the Picture Tools Format tab, you’ll find the Picture Effects option. By clicking on it, a drop-down menu will appear showing various effect presets that you can select from. Choosing preset 4 (or any other preset effect) will instantly apply that specific styling to the selected image, enhancing its visual appeal while maintaining consistency with your design.

This method is efficient because it directly utilizes the specialized tools designed for image editing in PowerPoint, ensuring that the effects are accessed and applied correctly. Other methods might not directly navigate to the picture formats or effects options as seamlessly as this one.
