Steps to Create a New Photo Album
Follow these simple steps to compile your pictures into a professional-looking presentation:
-
Navigate to the Insert tab in the PowerPoint ribbon.
-
In the Illustrations group, find the Photo Album option.
-
Click the arrow under the Photo Album button.
-
Select New Photo Album from the dropdown menu.
This will open the Photo Album dialog box.
-
In the Photo Album dialog box, under the "Insert picture from" section, click the File/Disk... button.
This action opens the Insert New Pictures dialog box.
-
In the Insert New Pictures dialog box, locate and click the folder that contains the pictures you wish to include in your photo album.
-
Once the folder is selected, click the Insert button.
-
The photos from the selected folder will now appear in the "Pictures in album" list in the Photo Album dialog box. You can rearrange the order, add text boxes, or adjust picture options here.
-
Click the Create button to generate your photo album presentation.
PowerPoint will automatically create a new presentation (or insert the slides into the current one, depending on context - though 'New Photo Album' usually creates a new one) with your selected photos formatted onto slides. This feature saves significant time compared to inserting each photo individually.
This process is ideal for creating slideshows, portfolios, or visual presentations quickly from a collection of images.
