Jim Endicott at the Presentation Summit 2014
The afternoon keynote session at the Presentation Summit on Monday (October 13, 2014) was delivered by Jim Endicott.
Jim started by saying he was going to share presenting ideas that attendees could use straightaway. He asked the audience to suggest
some presentation scenarios -- the audience responded by providing scenarios such as product launches, board room meetings, and
courtroom presentations.

AKVIS Pastel: Photoshop Plug-in Review
AKVIS Pastel is an Adobe Photoshop compatible plug-in that converts your pictures into pastel art. Once you apply the effect, you can
adjust the effect parameters to control the output as desired. Additionally, the advanced brush tools help you to refine the result and
you can also apply the pastel painting to any surface such as: sanded paper, MDF board, brick wall, etc. Add a signature, a title, or a
greeting to personalize your artwork. The add-in provides the batch processing option which saves lot of time if working on multiple
pictures.

Reset Pictures
Any manipulations you make to inserted pictures in PowerPoint are strictly only on the surface. The appearance of the picture changes on
the slide, but the unaltered picture is still there within your PowerPoint file. Essentially that's good because if you make many changes
to a picture and then regret experimenting, you can just reset your picture rather than deleting and inserting it again!
Compress Pictures
Although using pictures enhances the look of your presentation, it can also phenomenally increase the size of your presentation file. By
default, PowerPoint simply copies your inserted pictures into your presentation leaving the size and format largely unchanged. The
Compress feature for pictures offers an image compression utility that reduces the size of all inserted pictures in the presentation in a
single step.

Workaround for Picture Backgrounds
We have already shown you how you can apply picture fills as slide backgrounds -- all the picture format options which can be applied on
a picture also works for a picture background. Unfortunately, once you apply Office 2013's Service Pack 1, many of the picture format
options for picture backgrounds stop working. Until future updates restore the options back, you can follow the workaround explained on
this page -- all within PowerPoint 2013.
Picture Styles
Similar to how you apply Shape Styles to your shapes on your slide, PowerPoint enables you to apply Picture Styles to your inserted
pictures. With a single click, Picture Styles can transform a simple looking picture to something that's more highlighted and distinct.
Note that unlike Shape Styles, Picture Styles are not Theme specific. They just transform your picture to make it look stylish by
applying a border, or 3-D effect, or by changing the frame shape, etc.
Group Pictures
PowerPoint 2013 has no limitations to the number of slide objects you can add within the slide area. Be it shapes, multiple pictures, or
any other slide objects -- you can add them all. When you add multiple pictures on the slide you may end up placing them in a haphazard
manner and pictures of different sizes may be scattered all over the slide. It is good idea to arrange them all properly to get a more
aesthetic looking layout. This tutorial explores how you can group pictures on your slide.

We rarely do surveys - in fact the last one we did was the Business Presentations Survey 10 years ago!
And you will agree that 10 years is a long, long time - so that's the reason why we wanted to do this survey again.
Yes we wanted to ask you the same questions that we asked a decade ago, and this will help us all (that's all of us)
in determining what's changed in a decade!
So, follow the link, fill out the survey and we will give you an opportunity to grab yourself an amazing gift!

Regardless of the timings I input into the "Advance Slide After" window, the actual slide stays up longer.
