Microsoft is updating PowerPoint with a new feature that should help those who often add images to their presentations.
With the latest updates, PowerPoint now has a built-in "powerful image editor" that should make it easier to perform quick image edits without switching to third-party apps. Those include removing backgrounds, erasing unwanted elements, upscaling images, enhancing image quality, and adding text or effects.
If you want to try the new image editor, select the image you want to edit and click Edit Image on the Picture Format tab or in the context menu. Then, PowerPoint will open a new window and present you with available options. Changes appear in real time on the preview window, and once you are happy with the result, you can click Update to apply changes to the picture.
