JPG in parallelogram only

Good Morning!

Short of having to use Photoshop, within PPt2007 is there a way to SHAPE an
inserted JPG image? For instance, frame it like a TV screen seen from an
angle?

The JPG it self need not be shaped as if seen in a perspective view. Maybe
mask out parts of an image that would fall outsides of a frame like a
parallelogram? A circle?

Good evening!

You could use the picture as a fill to an autoshape: right click the
autoshape -> format shape -> fill -> picture or texture fill -> insert from:
file -> browse to your pic.

In PPT 2007 (boy, are you lucky -- this stuff is way easy in it!), Insert |
Picture to, well, insert the picture. Then, with the picture selected, click
Picture Tools Format | Picture Shape and choose the parallellogram.

Then you can use Picture Effects to do other stuff, like add perspective.

No worries. I thought you just missed the reference to 2007, because your
steps definitely are the way to do it in earlier versions of PPT.
