Using PowerPoint to Alter Photographs and Images
The background photographs were edited in PowerPoint, using the application’s Artistic Effects tool. Techniques used:
- Tint the photos with sepia tones
- De-saturate colors
- Blurred background images
- Darkened images
Some of the illustrations were also edited using PowerPoint, using the following tools:
- Background removal tool
- Sharpen contrast tool
- Increase color saturation
Powtoon and Camtasia for Video Editing
I used Powtoon to create slide transitions, add the animated bee, and to add background music. Camtasia was used to reduce the size of the video and provide the video player.
Authoring Tools: PowerPoint/Presenter 360, Powtoon, Camtasia
