In the photo album dialogue box, you will see the selected pictures in the Picture in Album list. You can view each picture by clicking it. And you can also change the order of a picture by choosing it and clicking the Move Up or Move Down button. Below the preview of the picture, you will be able to see six buttons, which you can use to adjust the rotation, contrast and brightness of each picture.

3.Create album layout

Under Album Layout, by clicking Picture layout arrow, and then in the drop-down list, you can choose the layout format you like. By clicking Frame Shape arrow, in the drop-down list of it you can choose the frame you want to add to your pictures.

Or you can also customize the look of your album by choosing a theme from your computer.

Now you have finished making your own PowerPoint photo album. Want to e-mail it to your friends or colleague? Want to share it with others? Or you want to keep it for permanent store? Below are a few tips about how to do this.

1.E-mail your photo album to others

Maybe you will find that the photo album is in a huge size due to the mountainous images added in it, and you can’t send it properly via e-mail. In order to reduce the size of it, you can use compressed pictures in your photo album.

How: Open bitmap image with a program that converts images and save the image in one of the following graphic file formats: jpg, gif, tif, wmf. Once your image has been saved under another format, you can reinsert it into your photo album.

2.Share your photo album with others

You can upload your beautiful photo album to some online sharing websites, such as YouTube. Let more people enjoy it or let your friends view your photo album online.

How: Convert your Photo album to a certain format that YouTube accepts. Then upload it with your YouTube account.

Tool: Acoolsoft PPT2Video Converter

It helps you easily convert your photo album to WMV, AVI, MOV, and MPEG formats that can be accepted by YouTube. After the conversion, you can directly upload it.

3.Keep your photo album for permanent store

The photo album you make maybe valuable and meaningful. In order to store it and prevent it from being edited by others, so far the best way I know maybe is to record it on a DVD disc. As we know things stored in a digital way could be easily lost.

How: Use some professional tool to help you burn your photo album to DVD such as the PowerPoint to DVD tool from Acoolsoft.

To view the finished PowerPoint photo album is an enjoyable thing. The process of making it is also interesting. So, when are you going to create your next photo album? Very soon, I presume.
