PowerPoint spruces up your presentation using image recognition

Share

If you’ve ever slapped together a PowerPoint presentation at the last minute, Microsoft has an Office 2016 feature called Designer that may save your bacon. It worked with graphics pros to build about 12,000 “blueprint” design templates in total. All you have to do is select an image, and it will use the cloud “to analyze and identify the most compelling portion of your images,” and build an appropriate design. For instance, it can zoom in on the tomatoes or peas (above) to build a theme, or avoid busy overlay images altogether if you have lots of charts. Once you’ve picked an appropriate blueprint, you just need to fill it in with your content.
