PowerPoint is a great product to create slide shows. It is easy to create slides, add music and effects. Getting photos into PowerPoint is little more difficult. You have to import size and format. PicsMatch makes that so much easier. Select the photos that you wish to import and right click. A menu will appear with options. Select import to PowerPoint. PicsMatch will open PowerPoint and place one formatted photo per slide into the show. You can then add a title, effect etc. What a time saver? PicsMatch works with Office 2003 and Office 2007 on XP and Vista PCs.

Tip of the Week: PicsMatch Suggestions

PicsMatch 3.5 now has a new way to help you get started with creating Matching IDs of your family and friends. A Matching ID is the folder where all of your photos of specific people are filtered. Pictures of Mom, Pictures of Brother, Pictures of Me, etc…

This new feature makes finding images of people much quicker. Not only that, but it brings out who you may have missed or who you actually have a ton of pictures of. Ever have a friend that somehow sneaks into your pictures? Who would have thought that I had 34 pictures of Adam? Sneaky little guy.

When I had PicMatch 3, I had 11 Matching IDs, now with the new Suggestions Intro, I currently have 42! Pair this with the Facebook auto-tagging/uploader, and PicsMatch 3.5 is an integral part of my media sharing. I’m encouraged to create more Matching IDs because it makes my tagging for Facebook or Flickr easier. I’m better at uploading to my online accounts because PicsMatch makes valuable suggestions of great photos. It works hand-in-hand.
