Make your #pictures shine by using the formatting commands that can give your photos that extra edge...

#Formatting

Once you have selected the picture and accessed the Format Tab, you can change the color, apply #artistic_effects, add transparency, add picture frames or styles, add borders, apply effects like #shadows, #glows, #reflections, #soft_edges, #bevels or #3D_Rotations. You can also crop your #pictures_to_shapes or different #aspect_ratios, then apply other effects. The results you can achieve are varied and limited only to your imagination and the office tools provided.
