FAQ
What is the difference between soft edges and cropping?
- Cropping hides part of the picture and changes the visible area.
- Soft edges do not directly cut away content. Instead, they make the edge gradually transparent.
- Use soft edges when you want a smoother transition, and use cropping when you need to remove unwanted picture areas.
How can I blend two pictures more naturally?
- Select each picture and apply a soft edge effect to both of them.
- Adjust their positions on the slide so the softened edge areas overlap appropriately.
- Fine-tune the soft edge size as needed until the transition looks more natural.
How do I remove a soft edge effect?
- Select the picture that already has the soft edge effect.
- Open the soft edge settings.
- Choose no soft edge, or use reset style to clear the existing picture effect.
