An image cropped several ways
Logic: extract several images from the same image source
This is a technique I learnt the concept of cropping images from Rick Flohr
at the Presentation
Summit in New
Orleans.
In PowerPoint 2013:
1. I placed an image as the slide background by first inserting an online
image on the slide.
![insert an online image](../images/cropped_images/img8.jpg)
I then Cut the image to put it on the clipboard.
2. Then right click on the slide, select Format Background, and click the
Clipboard button.

3. I then covered the whole slide with a rectangular auto shape with a slight transparency so I
could see the image behind.
4. Placed a rectangular auto shape over the top of the lower auto shape and
set its background fill to Slide Background.
![draw a rectangle to cover the whole slide](../images/cropped_images/img10.jpg)
The arrow shows the direction of drawing the rectangle with the mouse.
Then, it is simply a case of moving the upper-most auto shape around to see
how many kinds of cropped images I can get from the original!
In each of the following examples, the colored image is what would be
extracted, by cropping the rest of the image away.

The original above!
A man looking over the ocean. The boy would not be seen.
A man and a boy looking over the ocean.
A boy looking over the ocean.
So, many images from one!
