How can a user integrate Photoshop Elements and PowerPoint to create a seamless graphic design workflow?
Barbara: One thing to remember, I think, is that PowerPoint loves PNG files. If you save your Elements creations as PNGs, it’s very easy to create high-quality graphics that look terrific when you insert them in PowerPoint. If you need transparency, saving as PNG lets keep the transparency from your Elements file. Elements is also great for creating your own animated GIF files. Just create each frame as a new layer in your document, go to File | Save for Web, choose GIF and adjust your settings in the Animate section at the bottom of the Save for Web window. Save your GIF and insert it into your PowerPoint slide. You can also use the Organizer’s Create section to make WMV slideshows to use in Powerpoint. Now, I must admit that I use Office for Mac as my primary version of Office, but I checked with a friend of mine and he says it works the same way on Microsoft Office for Windows as well.
