Create PowerPoint Presentation Graphics in Photoshop

So, you're about to have a public speech and need to support it with good-looking presentation slides? Today we're going to learn how to do this by designing a PowerPoint presentation in Photoshop. The purpose of a presentation is to present information in best possible way. Before you start with the design you need to know if your presentation is meant to entertain, inform, persuade or sell. In today’s tutorial I will show you how to design a PowerPoint presentation that needs to inform (of course) and show presenters creativity and diversity. Let's get started!

Tutorial Assets

The following assets were used during the production of this tutorial.

• Ink Scratches (Graphic River)
• Ink Scratches (Free Alternative Brush Set)
• Vector Circles Photoshop Shapes

Step 1 - Creating the Background Pattern

Before we start drawing on a bigger canvas we need to create some patterns for our background effect. To do this open a new document, 70x70 px, fill it with white color #ffffff. Go to View > Show > Grid, it will turn on Grid view. This will help us easily draw a perfect pattern. Now, choose the Line Tool (U) and draw a vertical 1px, black line on the far right of the document.

Duplicate the line and align it to the grid.

Do the same now for horizontal lines. Please note that I left out the top and left line, I didn't fill the whole grid. This is because the pattern will be repeated and the right and bottom line of next pattern to come will fill that gap.

Create new layer. Choose Marquee Tool (M) and holding shift draw a selection that fits exactly within one unit of our document grid. Fill the layer with black color #000000 and give it 60% opacity.

Duplicate that layer to create a patter like shown in the following image.

Go to Edit > Define Pattern, give it a name (I named it "mozaik") and click OK. Close the document. It is saved now and will appear in our patter library.

Step 2 - The Big Canvas

Create new 1024x768 px document and save it as background.psd. Unlock the background layer by double clicking it and clicking OK in dialog box (this removes the lock icon from the layer). Double click again on the unlocked background layer, a effects dialog box will pop up. Add gradient effect like shown in the image. Gradient colors from left to right: #f9fff4, #ebf7e7 and #e3f9ed.

Create new layer above and fill it with white. Set blend mode to Multiply and add the pattern overlay with previously created pattern "mozaik". In effects settings set Opacity to 4%, leave other values default.

Step 3 - Content Layout

Create layer folder and name it "Layout". Select Rectangle Shape Tool (U) and draw out a 365x747 px shape, fill color #ffffff.

Add gradient effect like shown in the image. Gradient colors from left to right: #e5e3e3, #f6f6f6 and #ffffff. Add Inner Glow effect, color #ffffff, opacity 87% and size 54. Leave other settings default.

Step 4 - Shadow

Create new layer underneath the rectangle shape layer.

Hold Command/Ctrl + Click the shape layer to create a selection from it. While the newly created empty layer is selected, fill it with black #000000. Go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur and enter 6px radius.

Add Layer Mask by clicking the small mask icon at the bottom of the layer palette. Choose a 300px soft brush and set background color to black #000000.

Now, gently brush the parts of the shadow you want to mask (hide), doing this we'll create a nice shadow effect.

Step 5 - Dotted Lines Pattern

We want to give the content layout a bit more of a real paper look so we need some horizontal paper lines. In order to add them we need to create the pattern first. Create new document 70x70 px, just like we did with our first pattern. Turn on Grid view and draw out two (2) white (#ffffff) rectangles on both sides. Leave the center of the document empty (transparent) size of one grid unit. Draw a black rectangle size of half the grid unit like shown in the image.

Go to Edit > Define Pattern, give it a name (dotted) and save it. Close the document.

Step 6 - Paper Effect

Now we can apply this pattern to our content layout. Copy rectangle shape layer, remove the effects and change color to #838383. Add Pattern overlay effect and choose the dotted pattern we created in previous step. Change layer Blend mode to Multiply and set opacity to 14%.

I wanted to give it a bit worn look so I masked the horizontal lines with a grunge brush. To do this first go to Graphic River and grab some cool grunge brushes . Click the small mask icon at the bottom of the layer palette, select one of the grunge brushes (any will do), set background color to black #000000 and slightly mask the center of the content layout (lines) keeping the lines visible at the edges.

To make it pop out more, I added a semitransparent black border. Do this by duplicating the base shape layer and move it underneath it. Expand the shape by 20px on each side, remove all effects from it, set background color to black and opacity 3%. Done!

Step 7 - Creating the Ribbon

Create new layer folder under the content layout (layout folder) and using Rectangle Shape Tool (U) draw a 78x72 px rectangle. Place it so that it is hidden about 10px underneath the content layout. Fill it with gradient overlay as shown in the image with colors from left to right: #525739 (location 0%) and #d6dbbf (location 27%).

Switch to Direct Selection Tool (A) and select the path. Now change to Pen Tool (P) and add an anchor point in the bottom middle part of the path as shown in the image. Adjust the handles so they're close to each other.

With this anchor selected hold Shift and using arrow up key nudge the point one time (10px).

Create new layer above. Select Custom Shape Tool and choose the one shown in the image.

Command/Ctrl + click the ribbon shape layer underneath, go to Select > Modify > Contract and enter value of 4px. This will contract the selection by 4 px creating a nice border around.

While selection is active, click the star shape layer (select it) and click the Mask icon at the bottom of the layer palette. This will automatically mask the star shape by the marquee selection we contracted earlier.

Change the color of masked star shape to #b2b7a1 and set opacity to 25%.

Step 8 - Slide Counter

Create new layer above the content layout and using Ellipse Tool draw a small 52x52 px circle. Fill it with #e25601.

Create another layer and place it under the red circle. Select Custom Shape Tool and choose the star burst shape like shown in the image. Fill it with #e9c000. Holding Shift key draw the shape from center of the red circle. Set layer opacity to 20%.

Copy the star burst shape layer and place it under the original star burst shape. Using the Transform Tool hold Shift key, rotate and scale the shape so it is placed like shown in the image.

I spiced it up just a tiny bit more by adding a circular mandala shape (using custom Photoshop Brush) underneath the layers and lowering the opacity to 40%, but you can skip this step, it will still look great!

Finally, add your content and you're done with the first slide design! I've chosen to crate welcome screen text directly in Photoshop instead of inserting it in PowerPoint because I use custom fonts and graphics.

Step 9 - Inner Page

After creating the welcome screen we're now going to create a generic background that'll be used for all other slides of our presentation. Copy the background.psd and rename it to inner.psd. Delete the ribbon layer folder and all content, leaving just the content layout. Nudge all remaining graphics 50px from document top.

First select the base rectangle shape (the one with the gradient effect), choose Direct Selection Tool (A) and select two bottom anchor points of that shape. Holding Shift, press arrow down to expand the rectangle till it overspills the document boundaries.

Do the same with horizontal lines shape...

Finally repeat the step with the semitransparent border. Optionally you could scale or redraw the shadow too.

Change the slide number inside the red circle, add title and footer. That's it!

Final Image

Step 10 - The PowerPoint

We created the design, now we need to make a real presentation out of it. Export PSD designs to high quality jpeg using the Save for Web option in Photoshop. Name files accordingly and place them in your presentation folder. Fire up PowerPoint and click File > New presentation.

By default PowerPoint adds a title and text field to newly created slide. Go ahead select and delete them because you're not going to need them.

Right click the slide thumb preview in sidebar and click Format background, a popup screen will be shown. Select Fill from the popup sidebar, select Picture from popup top menu and choose the previously exported background image for welcome slide.

You can copy the first slide or create new one, repeat the step above for inner page (slide) and choose the second background image.

And you're done. Well... almost done, because now you need to create the rest of your slides and prepare for the speech! I hope you learned a trick or two how to create custom designed PowerPoint presentation and I wish you all the best with your public speaking. See you next time!

How to Make PowerPoint Slide Backgrounds In Photoshop (PPT Size/Format?)

So, what's the right PowerPoint slide size for Photoshop? In this tutorial, we'll look at PowerPoint slide dimensions, Photoshop PowerPoint template sizes, and more. We'll even make a PowerPoint slide size Photoshop background.

Microsoft PowerPoint is perfect for creating a presentation. Adobe Photoshop is the top choice for graphic design. What's better than one powerful app? Two top apps brought together! Great PowerPoint slideshows use advanced graphics designed with Photoshop.

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to set a PPT slide size in Photoshop. This helps you design supplemental graphics in Photoshop. You'll also see the best premium templates (from Envato Elements) with the PPT slide size for Photoshop already set for you. 

 Let's learn more! Now, let's take a closer look at how Photoshop and PowerPoint work together to help you create the best PowerPoint backgrounds.

Photoshop and PowerPoint: Two Apps, Better Together

On their own, Adobe Photoshop and Microsoft PowerPoint are powerful apps. But use them together, and you're sure to benefit.

PowerPoint is all about ease-of-use. Photoshop gives you every graphic design tool you could need. Use them together to bring highly advanced graphics to presentations.

As you can see in the tutorial below, visual presentations are more important than ever. That means you need tools like Photoshop to bolster your presentation.

Here are a few questions that you may face when you start working with the two apps together: 

• What's the size of a PowerPoint slide for Photoshop?
• What size is a Photoshop PowerPoint template?
• What's the correct PowerPoint size for backgrounds?
• What are PowerPoint dimensions: pixels, inches? 
• How do you set your Photoshop document to match your PowerPoint presentation?
• What PowerPoint size should I use? 16:9? 4:3?

These are also the questions that we'll answer in this tutorial. Keep reading to find out more.

PowerPoint Dimensions: Pixels, Inches, or Ratios?

So, what's the deal with PPT slide size? Photoshop works very differently. Here's some quick facts to help you sort out your PowerPoint slide size, for Photoshop or any other work environment.

• As of 2023, default PowerPoint files have a 16:9 ratio. This is called "Widescreen" within the software.
• This means you can take these PowerPoint dimensions to Photoshop or elsewhere and convert them to pixels or any other metric.
• You can also have your PowerPoint background size at a 4:3 ratio. This is called "Standard" within the software.
• You can also have a Custom Slide size in PowerPoint.

How to Choose and Check Your PowerPoint Document Size

Veteran graphic designers know that document size is critical. Setting the size of a PowerPoint slide for Photoshop is a must to avoid redesigning. You don't want your Photoshop PowerPoint template to be the wrong size! If you don't have the right PowerPoint slide size, Photoshop isn't going to have that info for you.

If you're accustomed to working in Photoshop, you probably think in terms of  pixels.  The challenge is that Microsoft PowerPoint's default unit of measure is inches. Setting the size of a PowerPoint slide for Photoshop requires converting the units.

To see your PowerPoint document size, go to the  Design  tab on PowerPoint's ribbon. Then click on the  Slide Size  drop-down. Finally, choose  Custom Slide Size. 

On the pop-up window, you can see the default options shown in inches. Type in the Width and Height boxes to change the presentation dimensions.

The size of a PowerPoint slide for Photoshop depends upon these options. Check these dimensions, then use the section below to convert the units.

The most critical choice you can make is between  widescreen  and  standard . This choice changes the  ratio  of width versus height. Choose from a wide selection of presets tailored to standard sizes.

Checking your PPT slide size for Photoshop is essential to designing graphics and assets for your presentation. Make your  Slide Size  your first check before you start working in Adobe Photoshop.

How to Convert Your PowerPoint Document Size From Inches to Pixels

To set your PPT slide size for Photoshop, you've got two options:

• Set your Photoshop preferences to use inches instead of pixels
• Calculate your PowerPoint presentation's size in pixels and input those dimensions

For our first example, let's assume that we want to find the pixel dimensions of a PowerPoint document. PowerPoint doesn't use pixels, so we'll need to convert inches to pixels.

It helps to know that PowerPoint assumes a  96 dpi  screen resolution. If you take the slide size in inches and divide it by the dots per inch, you'll arrive at the pixel dimensions.

Here's an example calculation:

13.333 inches wide / 96 dpi = 1280 pixels

Then, you can repeat the same math for the other side of your PowerPoint presentation:

7.5 inches wide / 96 dpi = 800 pixels

If your PowerPoint slide is already set up, pixel dimensions are helpful to know. Use your pixel dimensions to create a corresponding document in Photoshop.

Struggling with the math? Check out the Ninjaunits online tool . Make sure to set the "scanner DPI" dropdown to 96 dpi. Then, type in the pixel dimensions and convert to inches.

Learn more about PowerPoint slide sizes in our guide below. It covers even more on PowerPoint slide dimensions. Photoshop PowerPoint template designers will want to check this out.

Another Option: Change Your Photoshop Default Unit of Measure

Another option is to set Photoshop to work in PowerPoint's units, inches . With a simple change to the preferences, you can work directly in inches.

In Adobe Photoshop, go to the  Preferences > Units & Rulers  option to set the default unit in the app.

On the  Preferences  window, find the section labeled  Units.  Change the drop-down section labeled Rulers  from  Pixels  to  Inches. 

Don't forget to set the Screen Resolution  to 96 pixels/inch  to match PowerPoint's defaults. Now, all Photoshop's menus and dialogues will use inches as the default unit.

Changing your units means that you never have to convert. This helps you design PowerPoint backgrounds with the perfect size. Set Photoshop to  Inches  if PowerPoint and printed products are your primary output.

One More Option: Set Your PowerPoint Presentation to Pixel Size

Believe it or not, you can set your PowerPoint presentation to a specific set of pixel dimensions. This approach is helpful if you're   starting   with a Photoshop document that you need to migrate to PowerPoint. When it comes to PowerPoint dimensions, pixels are often more Photoshop friendly.

In PowerPoint, return to the  Design > Slide Size > Custom Slide Size  menu. In both the  Width  and  Height  boxes, you can type in pixel dimensions by typing a numeric value, like "2560 px." The spacing and typing the unit in that exact format is important! Check out this example of PowerPoint background size, below.

Once you click outside of the boxes, PowerPoint automatically converts the units back to inches. But it sets those inches to the proper size based on 96 dpi. 

That's it! Your PowerPoint presentation is now set to an exact pixel dimension. You can now design at PPT slide size in Photoshop.

Designing For PowerPoint in Photoshop

So far, you've seen several ways to achieve the same goal: creating perfectly sized graphics for Photoshop. To do this, you can change your size, app preferences, or dimensions. Any of these methods saves you from re-working and adjusting your Photoshop document to get the perfect PPT slide size for Photoshop work.

Setting the PowerPoint background size is one of the most important parts of creating your own Photoshop PowerPoint template. Use one of the techniques above (like converting your PowerPoint presentation to pixels). Let's demonstrate how you might do this in Photoshop.

With Photoshop open, create a new Photoshop document with the corresponding pixel dimensions. You can do so by going to File > New .

Then, open the Layers panel. We can do this by going to Window > Layers . Here's a screenshot of what your workspace should look like:

Next, let's work with a fun and interesting graphic. I decided to use this abstract pattern from Envato Elements. You could use any graphic of your choice. 

Open your chosen graphic by going to File > Open , and then select the file from your computer. Photoshop opens it up. Once the file is open, go to Select > All to select the entire image.

Then, we can go to Edit > Copy to copy it. Return to your new document and go to Edit > Paste . This pastes the image onto a new layer. 

Here's what the result should look like. In the Layers panel, you'll see the image on a new layer on top of the background.

However, your pasted image might not be positioned the way you'd like it, in your new document. Let's work on that next.

Go to Edit > Free Transform . After you've done so, you'll notice that your image has visible resize handles. With the Move tool selected (in the Tools panel), click and drag on any of the resize handles around the perimeter to resize the image. You can also use the Move tool to reposition your image. Just click and drag to do so!

Here's a look at how I scaled and repositioned my image.

When you're creating PowerPoint backgrounds, you may want to tone down the graphics so that they aren't distracting. 

For example, this pattern might be too intense for content to be overlayed on top of it. Let's bring the opacity down so that it won't interfere with content. We can do that from our Layers panel.

First, make sure that the image layer is selected. We know that it's selected when it's highlighted, like shown in the screenshot below. 

Then, click on the Opacity Slider , shown below, as well. We can click and drag to lower the opacity. You can also type in a specific number. I lowered the opacity to 65%.

When you're finished with your work it's time to export it. Go to the File > Save As  option to export the finished design. I recommend saving as JPG file. You can choose your file format where it says Format in the Save Dialog box.

Finally, let's return to PowerPoint. I typically drag-and-drop my graphics onto the slide to add it to a presentation. Since we already figured out the perfect PowerPoint dimensions in Photoshop, it's a snap. It's at the perfect PowerPoint size!

That's it! The graphics are far better than anything you can create inside of PowerPoint, so it helps to use both apps.

10 Tips on using Photoshop for presentation

You know the struggle: you have to create a visually engaging presentation using PowerPoint . Yet, the look and feel of the presentation simply aren’t professional enough. Enter Adobe Photoshop. Traditionally a tool associated with image manipulation and editing, Photoshop might not be at the top of your list when it comes to tools for creating refreshing presentations. However, the vast variety of graphic design tools the software offers makes it an incredible complement to software like Powerpoint and Slides. Unsure about where to start? Keep reading this article for ten top tips on using Adobe Photoshop for your presentations.

1: Make Sure Your Scale is Consistent

The key issue when creating graphics for Powerpoints in Photoshop is the scaling of the graphics themselves. If one is formatted differently than the other, then transferring your graphics from one platform to another goes from being a success to a disaster. Before you begin, make sure to match your Photoshop canvas size to the Powerpoint slide size. And remember – Photoshop uses pixels while Powerpoint uses inches, so make sure to convert the dimensions when you’re adjusting your Photoshop canvas!

2: Less is More!

If you are designing graphics for a text-based presentation, make sure to not let your graphics stand out. While graphic design is vital to a great presentation, it is only meant to focus a viewer’s eye on the points being made – not take away from the point by being overtly eye-catching. 

3: Still… Don’t be Afraid to be Bold!

Even though your focus should be to allow the text on your slides to speak to a viewer, don’t be afraid to use the graphic design tools of photoshop to take your presentation to the next level. After all, you wouldn’t be using Photoshop for your presentation if you simply wanted a run-of-the-mill presentation!

4: Use Adobe Colour

One of the first steps in building beautiful graphics for a presentation is finding a colour palette that suits the tone and graphics of the presentation that is visually appealing. To help you in this quest, use another tool in the Adobe suite of products – Adobe Colour – to help you create the colour palette that will truly match your presentation. Adobe Colour has a contrast checker that helps you make sure your text colour will be readable against your background colour for maximum impact. It also helps you make sure your colour choices adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) so that your presentation is truly accessible to everyone on the internet. 

5: Make the Best of Both Worlds

While Adobe Photoshop remains the premier tool for graphic design, it lacks movement-based effects that can also be incredibly important to a powerful presentation. However, even the less advanced tools of Powerpoint can be a blessing on this front! Use Photoshop to create graphic objects to layer above your background graphics, and use Powerpoint to animate them in your presentation to add a new dimension to your slides (both literally and metaphorically).

6: Use Photoshop’s In-house PDF Slideshow Feature for High Quality Renders You Can Easily Share

When sharing your graphics with clients, don’t hesitate to use Photoshop’s in-house high-quality rendering capabilities. By using the software’s PDF download function (rather than downloading your PowerPoint as a PDF or PPT) you enable the viewer to gain the best possible viewing experience across multiple kinds of devices.

7: Use Adobe Cloud Sharing for Easy Collaboration

No matter how confident we are in our skills, we sometimes need some help. For assistance from your colleagues, use Adobe’s cloud sharing capabilities to share your graphics with other people. This prevents you from constantly saving high-memory renders of your graphics to send to your colleagues and allows them to add suggestions and make changes to your document directly, saving all of your important time. 

8: Use Adobe’s Cross-device Synchronisation of Platforms to Your Advantage

As convenient as a trackpad or mouse can be for a skilled graphic designer, sometimes a pen and paper are simply best. In these moments, use Adobe Photoshop’s unique ability to save designs across devices to access graphic designs you created on your computer on a tablet, where you can use a stylus to make the adjustments that take your graphics to the next level. 

9: College Students – Use Your College Student Discount or Your School’s Photoshop Licence

The tips in this article apply to presentations in the workplace – but why not get started earlier in your career? If you are a student struggling to make interesting presentations for your classes and are looking for a way to upskill yourself, try and learn photoshop! This is made even easier by most colleges buying licences for use of photoshop that you can access for free. Don’t hesitate in getting started!

10: The Devil is in the Details

At the end of the day, Powerpoint already has its own graphic design capabilities – so make sure your use of Photoshop is worth it. Take the effort to make every small detail in your graphics valuable, and it will clearly show in the quality of your presentation.

Cropping an Image Creating a crop marquee The cropped image Adobe Photoshop CS6 - Illustrated

Cropping an Image • Setting opacity for the Crop tool • Opacity refers to how opaque something is • When using the Crop tool, you can change the shield color and opacity of the area outside the crop using the Color and Opacity settings on the Options bar • As a preview before cropping, many designers set the opacity to 50% while experimenting, then, when they think they’ve found a crop that they like, they increase the opacity to 100% Adobe Photoshop CS6 - Illustrated

Cropping an Image to a Specific Size • The Crop tool: number of options to execute more than just a simple crop • After creating the crop marquee, the Crop tool pointer becomes an arrow pointer when inside the marquee • Use the arrow to move the marquee to crop a different area of the image • The Crop tool pointer outside of the crop marquee is a rotate pointer • Use the rotate pointer to rotate the crop marquee • Specific width and height dimensions can be used to create a crop marquee of a specific size Adobe Photoshop CS6 - Illustrated

Cropping an Image to a Specific Size • When a specific width and height is entered to crop an image to a specific resolution, using the Resolution text box on the Options bar can be also entered • Makes the Crop tool function much like the Image Size dialog box • No matter where an image is cropped or what size crop marquee is created, new pixels cannot be added or deleted, only redistributed Adobe Photoshop CS6 - Illustrated

Creating Slide Backgrounds in Photoshop for PowerPoint

Learn how to create slide backgrounds for PowerPoint in Photoshop. Changing some Photoshop settings can make this task easier.

Author: Geetesh Bajaj

Product/Version: PowerPoint

OS: Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X

Date Created: June 11, 2015 Last Updated: June 11, 2015

Learn PowerPoint

Learn how to show formatting in the Notes Pane in PowerPoint.

If PowerPoint represents something more than anything else, it is the slide—and while you can use a white slide bereft of any graphic treatment, more often than not you will want to use something else. That's because the background elements of a slide are a representation of the brand of your company, or even an expression of your personality.

To explain this better, look at the slide in Figure 1 , below. Notice that the plain text on a white background is readable, but it is certainly not memorable.

Compare what you saw in Figure 1 to the slide shown in Figure 2 , below. This slide is branded for a fictitious company called El Rotate . Notice that this slide has several graphic elements. It has a background, a logo, and the name of a company. Additionally, it also uses custom typefaces and colors.

In PowerPoint parlance, the background is just one choice that you must make to create that complete appearance. You will also need to explore fonts, colors, effects, slide layouts, and more. And all of these elements must work together to create and represent a cohesive brand. We cover all these other elements elsewhere on this site—but for this tutorial, we will only explore backgrounds. And more importantly we will explore how you would create them within Adobe Photoshop . That does not mean that you cannot use another image editor; the principles of image editing are important and you are welcome to replicate them in any other program.

To begin, you must identify if your PowerPoint presentation will be in a Standard or a Widescreen resolution.

Standard or Widescreen?

Standard slides have a 4:3 aspect ratio whereas Widescreen slides sport a 16:9 aspect ratio. Read our Should You Create Widescreen Slides article to understand more.

Thereafter you can proceed with these steps. Do note that we have no recommendations for any specific version of Photoshop for this tutorial; we did however use Photoshop CS6 for the screen shots you see on this page.

• Create a new image in Photoshop. If you are creating a Standard resolution background, choose 1024 x 768 pixels as the dimensions. On the other hand, choose 1365 x 768 pixels for Widescreen backgrounds. But you can also get the best of both worlds, as we will show you! To do so, type in 1365 and 768 within the Width and Height fields respectively (see Figure 3 , below). We also changed the Resolution to 100 Pixels/Inch. You can match your settings to what you see in Figure 3 .

• Now within Photoshop, add a guide at the position where the width spans 1024 pixels (see Figure 4 , below). If you are not too familiar with guides, you can download this pre-formatted Photoshop file that includes everything you need to start with— download here .

• Now do something: ) Use Photoshop's tools, or explore our tutorials on creating quick backgrounds . Just remember to place anything that is important within your background leftwards of the guide. Look at Figure 5 , below, and you will notice that the main visual content has been placed in the larger area leftwards of the guide.

• Once you have created the background, you can decide whether you want this exported as a Standard or Widescreen graphic—or even both! For Widescreen, just save to a graphic file format such as JPG or PNG. However for a Standard aspect ratio, use Photoshop's Crop tool to retain all areas leftwards of the guide (see Figure 6 below).

• Once the cropping is done, you'll be left with a Standard (4:3) aspect ratio background, as shown in Figure 7 , below.

• Don't save your file yet! Just export as a JPG or PNG. Then undo to get your cropped areas back! Photoshop does not have a progressive Undo option like PowerPoint, but you can use the Edit | Step Backward option multiple times.
• Tip: Explore Photoshop's Save for Web option that exports high quality PNG and JPG graphics (see Figure 8 , below). This option is to be found in Photoshop's File menu.

• Once you have exported the image as a JPG or PNG, set it as your presentation's background. Refer to our Slide Background Fills: Picture page for more info.

How to Create a Photoshop Slideshow (Step by Step)

You can also select your interests for free access to our premium training:

Slideshows make sharing pictures with friends and family a special event. It is also a professional way to showcase your images to clients or for a presentation. Adobe Lightroom has a slideshow feature, but you can also create a slideshow in Photoshop . Photoshop is almost as easy as using Lightroom and you can save your slideshow as a video file to share on social media. In this article, we’ll take you through the steps on how to create a Photoshop slideshow.

Creating a Photoshop Slideshow

Step 1: select images.

Choose the pictures you want to include in your show. There is usually a theme that unites them. You can showcase a product or your best photos. You can also show pictures from a recent trip or create a project. Choose images that are eye-catching and different enough from each other to be interesting. Keep your show short as most viewers have a short attention span. Decide on the order you want the images to play. Start and end your show with your best. Consider if there is a story or natural sequence that influences the order.

Step 2: Open Images in Photoshop

Step 3: Resize Images

Step 4: Create Video Timeline

Step 5: Order Images

By default, the bottom layer is the first image in your show. You can change the order by grabbing an image and dragging it into a different position along the timeline.

Step 6: Time Slides

Step 7: Add Transitions & Effects (Optional)

Step 8: Add Music (Optional)

Step 9: Create Slideshow Video

With Photoshop, you can create a slideshow to share on your website or send to friends. Create an introduction slide with text and end credits to make your slideshow more professional. Photoshop slideshow is a simple tool to create a video project.

3 Reasons Why Adobe Stock Could Continue to Fall, and 2 Reasons It's Still Worth Buying Now

• Adobe has underperformed the market so far in 2024.
• The stock could remain volatile as its investments in growth will take time to pay off.
• Adobe is well-positioned to continue making meaningful product improvements that can help increase the adoption of its software suite.
• Motley Fool Issues Rare “All In” Buy Alert

NASDAQ: ADBE

Adobe stands out as a great way to invest in generative AI as it relates to the creative space.

Share prices of Adobe ( ADBE -0.47% ) sold off after the company reported its fiscal 2024 third-quarter results on Sept. 12 and management offered weak guidance for the rest of the year. The stock now trades down by more than 10% year to date compared to an over 14% gain in the tech sector and a 17.8% gain for the Nasdaq Composite .

Yet despite some notable challenges that could weigh down the growth stock in the near term, Adobe is worth buying now. Here are three reasons why.

Image source: Getty Images.

1. Overall results will likely remain weak in Q4 and for the fiscal year

Based on updated fiscal fourth-quarter guidance, Adobe management expects the company to book $21.43 billion in revenue and $18.27 in non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) earnings per share (EPS) for fiscal 2024.

If it hits that goal, its revenue would be just 10.4% higher than fiscal 2023, marking another year of slowing growth. Based on its non-GAAP fiscal 2024 earnings guidance, Adobe would have a price-to-earnings ratio of 29.4, which isn't bad for an industry-leading growth company. But it's worth noting that Adobe's GAAP earnings tend to be about 30% to 40% lower than its non-GAAP earnings.

In fiscal 2023, Adobe earned $11.82 in GAAP diluted EPS, but $16.07 in non-GAAP diluted EPS. Stock-based and deferred compensation accounted for a whopping $3.78 per share -- the vast majority of the adjustment. Like other tech companies, Adobe has a sizable stock-based compensation program to attract top talent and compensate them with equity in the company. It has been increasing its pace of share buybacks to help offset the dilution caused by that stock-based compensation, but it's still an expense worth following since it heavily impacts Adobe's earnings.

In sum, Adobe's sales and earnings growth over the last couple of years have been unimpressive , especially relative to other tech companies that benefit from artificial intelligence (AI).

2. Adobe's competition is increasing

For years, Adobe reaped the benefits of owning a suite of industry-standard software programs such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, and InDesign. Just as being proficient in Microsoft Excel or PowerPoint looks good on a business professional's resume, knowledge of Adobe's products can be a basic requirement for many jobs in the creative sector. There are a lot of advantages to being the default product in a category. However, sometimes, those advantages can lead companies to become complacent, less innovative, or operationally inefficient. Before 2023, Adobe relied heavily on its entrenched position rather than ensuring it still had the best offerings. That advantage is no longer good enough.

Competition has gone up a notch, especially in recent years. The biggest threat to Adobe is probably Canva, which is a far cheaper yet effective solution. Canva Pro is just $15 per month per person -- a quarter the price of Adobe's creative cloud. Canva has tools for document presentations, social media, videos, websites, and more. It also has generative AI tools that directly compete with Adobe's solutions.

The software in Canva's product suite is still a step below Adobe's. But if it innovates faster than Adobe, the price difference could make it a compelling alternative, giving it a greater opportunity to eat away at Adobe's market share.

3. Adobe's business model is under fire

Another threat to Adobe is its business model. Adobe launched Creative Cloud in 2012 and pivoted to offering its suite of applications via subscriptions. That was arguably the greatest decision in the company's history. The software-as-a-service business model creates predictable recurring revenue and can open the door to steady growth. However, if Adobe's product improvements eventually allow one user to do the work that used to take two or three users, then the subscription price would have to go up a lot to offset its shrinking user count.

This type of threat is something that all enterprise software companies need to be concerned about, not just Adobe. Although it's still way too early to see signs of this happening, it's still something worth paying attention to.

Adobe is still worth a closer look for 2 reasons

Despite its sluggish growth, expensive valuation, competition, and the uncertain future of Adobe's business model, I still think the stock is an excellent buy now. Here are two reasons why:

• Adobe is well-positioned to revolutionize marketing and save its customers a ton of money and time developing advertising campaigns. And if it does that, it could open the door to a completely different tier of product offerings. I could see Adobe developing a high-octane AI-powered solution for enterprises that costs thousands of dollars per year per user rather than hundreds of dollars, but adds so much value that it is well worth the price.
• Adobe stock looks expensive based on its current growth trajectory. However, it is still early in its AI development process and needs time to build out its offerings and monetize its new tools. In the meantime, Adobe is well-positioned to thrive from the need for more content in every form of digital media.

The stock's balance of risk vs. potential reward should be highly attractive for investors who believe in Adobe's ability to innovate and monetize AI. However, it could take years for the company to complete that leap. And for investors who don't think Adobe can kick its business into a new gear, I'd say it would be better to pass on the stock at this time.

Daniel Foelber has no position in any of the stocks mentioned. The Motley Fool has positions in and recommends Adobe and Microsoft. The Motley Fool recommends the following options: long January 2026 $395 calls on Microsoft and short January 2026 $405 calls on Microsoft. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy .
