I'll click Slide 2 and notice that I'm getting one picture per slide and how easy it was to do that. I'm going to click Create below just to show you how quick it is to generate the Photo Album. And there are some individual buttons just under the photo to rotate, adjust brightness, contrast, those types of things. If I need to remove a photo, I can use the remove button here. So you have choices in how these are arranged. You can see I'm moving Westminster more to the top. If I need to reorder these, I can use the arrows below. Notice all six pictures are being included. Notice that there's a Pictures in album section. So once they're selected, I click Insert below and this is where the magic starts to happen. I'll click on the white space to deselect, and I'll again go ahead and press control+A to select all of the pictures. So the control key lets you choose things that aren't necessarily all in a row. I can choose Manchester, hold down my control key, and then click Picadilly. Maybe I just need Manchester and Picadilly. I'm gonna click on the white space to deselect. If I just wanted some of the photos, I'll show you that trick. This is a great Microsoft shortcut that works, again, whether on selecting pictures or on selecting slide content, whatever it might be. Control+A stands for Select All, the A is for all. If you wanted all of the photos in this folder, which we do, it's easier to press control+A on your keyboard. Now I'm gonna click in the white space and also show you another option. So click, shift, click, will allow you to choose a group of objects, whether that's pictures or slide content. I'll go ahead and click the first photo, then hold down my shift key and choose the last photo that I want. Now there are some shortcuts you can use when selecting items in PowerPoint.

Now here's my opportunity to choose whichever photos I like. So I'm in the Chapter 3 Exercise folder and you can see because I'm looking for photos only the photo options display. To bring in my pictures, I'll click the Insert picture from: File/Disk. This brings up a dialogue box with all of the options for working with photo albums. To do this, you want to start under Insert and then choose Photo Album and choose a New Photo Album. So here we're starting with a blank slate and I'm ready to bring in all of those pictures. I'll click File, choose New, and I'll choose the Blank presentation option. For this, I'll start with a new presentation. There are so many choices as you work with photo albums. You can see in this example, we've actually got two photos per page, and they've got the rounded edges. Here's an example of the end result that we might end up with. So I'll click Chapter 3, and I'll go ahead and open 03_01 Rooms from the Exercise folder.

You could bring all of these into PowerPoint with just a couple clicks. This works well whether I have six photos like you see here or I could have 100 photos. Now, we could create a presentation and insert these one at a time, but instead, we'll use the Photo Album feature to bring these all in at once and then choose how we want the presentation to be formatted. I'll go ahead and double click this folder just to show you that it contains several pictures that we want to turn into a PowerPoint presentation. In your Chapter 3 Exercise folder, you have a folder called Rooms. I'll show you as we work through this that there's one box that allows you to set all of these options, so it's super easy to use this feature. You're likely to see all of these types of tasks on the MOS exam, so you'll want to practice with these. This is such a huge time saver when working with PowerPoint.

Not only can you insert photos in mass, but photo albums also provide lots of features for managing photos. You'll wanna know both of these for the MOS exam so I've tagged them both with a MOS icon. We'll creature a photo album and we'll edit a photo album.
