Presenter’s Guide to Copyright from Alvin Trusty on Vimeo.

Creative Commons PowerPoint from Alvin Trusty on Vimeo.

This animation was inspired by Glen Millar at the PowerPoint Live 2009 Conference. The local file works perfectly. At SlideBoom, the sweeping hand is shifted down a little and goes slightly outside the circle at the bottom. Must be something with the way they process the files.

Nothing but PowerPoint here. A circle, an arrow and a series of “rotate” animations.

This PowerPoint answers a few common questions about technology. If there is a critical topic that you think should be added, let me know. I can update the deck.

Click the play button (single click) and the presentation will go by itself.

I have been using Picasa for several years.  If I am looking at a picture on my computer, chances are good I’m probably using Picasa to do it, especially if it’s a picture from my digital camera.

Above is a picture I took for Buzz.  He has converted all of his overhead transparencies to PowerPoint slides by having me photograph each picture.  Then he creates a slide from each picture in PowerPoint.

The whole process is actually very low tech.  We use a white piece of foam core on Buzz’s desk.  He holds the foam core at an angle so we don’t get a shadow from the lights in the ceiling.  I snap a picture.  Picasa does the rest.

In the Tuning tab of Picasa is a Highlights adjustment.  By cranking this up, all the edges of the paper and shadows go away and leave only the black ink behind.  It’s literally that easy.  I export the picture and it’s finished about ten times faster than a scanner could do.

Now if I could only figure out who this Sherman character is.
