| Capability Summary | In WPS Presentation on macOS, after you select a picture, you can open Image Tools, use editing commands, and open More Settings for additional adjustments; some advanced features require membership. | Microsoft Office provides Picture Format or Picture Tools for picture cropping, aspect ratio cropping, and crop-to-shape actions. | Google Docs and Slides support cropping, masking, borders, and image adjustments such as color, brightness, transparency, and contrast. | Notion supports image insertion, drag-and-drop arrangement, resizing, cropping, masking, and alignment for page content. | Adobe Acrobat lets you modify images in PDFs with tools such as flip, rotate, crop, replace, and object alignment. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The image editing entry is part of the slide editing workflow, so you can adjust pictures directly inside the current presentation. Distinct: Basic edits and advanced settings are separated clearly for quick edits and further fine-tuning. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft provides detailed official guidance for crop and shape-based picture editing, but the workflow is centered on Office picture formatting rather than WPS Presentation. | Compared with WPS: Google offers several browser-based image adjustment options, but some controls depend on Docs or Slides environments and web-based editing. | Compared with WPS: Notion focuses more on media layout inside pages than on slide-based picture editing in a presentation workflow. | Compared with WPS: Adobe offers broader image modification tools, but they are designed mainly for PDF editing rather than presentation slide editing. |
