 Let me begin off with, my name is Robert TechSoup Connect. You are a chapter leader. And TechSoup Connect is basically a project of TechSoup Global. And there's most of the tech meetups for non-profits, for field cash. So here you can link up with a number of organizers can actually introduce you to a number of technologies which you can actually use in your organization for personal use. And most of these are for you of charge. But then TechSoup Global is a non-profit organization based in the U.S. And it is mostly donating technology products and services to non-profit organizations. I shared the link in the chat. You can actually try to visit those links and see if you have a chapter in your country. If not, then you can actually contact me, take you through the process, or you can contact the global coordinate L.I. You'll be able to take you through all the process. What you need to do and how actually you can get best use of the platform for TechSoup Global. Today, we are going to look at something simple. Maybe some of you already got introduced to this app, which is Microsoft Picture Manager. And this Picture Manager is first introduced to the Office 97, up to Office XP. This application is helping you for editing for just the best editing of pictures like color collect, cropping, flip, resize, and rotate. Because nowadays, if you are like an organization, you are managing a project, there's no way you can actually run a web slump working with pictures. You have to work with pictures to share on different platforms, to share with your donors, to share with the wherever you want the pictures to be. So at times, you find that people, they don't know how to compress pictures, resize them, work on them, and you don't have to be so much experienced during this. This is a simple software application which comes with your office and which you can basically be working with. So everyone can actually see. So these notes, I'm going to share them, but I wanted to read as you follow. I'm going to share them after the meeting. So here you can see that Picture Manager is a graphic editor introduced in Microsofty, and includes up to Office 10, which is the replacement to the Microsofty photo editor introduced in the Office 1997. And this includes up to, actually, it was up to Office XP. That's when you are installing your Office suite. By then after Office XP, you are able to have the Microsoft Picture Manager included in the package. So this software, as I mentioned, as I said, it's the best image editing feature, which includes ColorCollect, cropped grid, resize and cropped. So for some of you, everyone actually will share photos online. You have to know how to edit, how to compress pictures. Otherwise, if you share a photo in its original dimensions or weight, you are likely to use much internet data, also the space where you store your photos. For example, if you are using Google Drives, some of you, I think you've experienced that your Google Drive or Google Mail is times they are telling you it is getting full, so please maybe you have to upgrade something like that. So all that comes due to that, that you might be sharing photos, you're not compressed and they use much of your space. So with the I'm going to show you after, like how we decide how we compress and what not to. But for you, nowadays, we use different windows, Office and at the moment we have an Office 365, we have the latest Office. So you might find that with the latest Office, you don't have a picture manager. So these are some of the features where actually you can be able to install the picture manager, a few of judge. This one I'm going to share with you after the meeting. So the process and all the steps, the photo. And then you might find that you with the window 11 or window 10 of an app, which is called Named Photo. And that is the successor of the picture manager. So if you see photo, then that they will know that it is a replacement of the picture manager. Personally up to now, even though I use the latest Office, I still use the picture manager because it is simple to work with. It is very easy. So you don't have to worry when you are working with it. Let me stop this. Then I'm going to show you with some pictures in the folder, how we can actually edit them, resize them, compress them. Then after, maybe I can have some questions where I actually need more assistance. Okay, go to the folder. All right, let me again switch on, share my screen with you so you can be able to see. So these are the photos which I have in the folder. And if I scroll this, okay, I can see the folder. So in this particular folder, I have 230 photos. For example, if I click on one of the photos, I can see the weight of that photo. You can see it is a 7.20 megabyte. The next photo it is, so you can see it. You look at the cursor, this can see 7.25 megabytes. The next photo it is 720 megabytes. Then also the next one, 70.11. So for example, if I wanted to share this photo like on the Google Drive, let me select them and show you how much they weigh if you choose to attach them. So the 100 and 30 pictures, if I look at the property of this, you see, yeah, you can see that all of these photos, they add up to 1.57 gigabytes. So if I'm to share like on my Google Drive, one drive, Kim Air, so it is going to cover up this space. So if on a data basis, I share like this kind of photos, which weigh up to this marking sheet, you would find that much of my space, email space, drive wall, one drive space, is going to be used up very strong. So how do we edit these photos? This is what we do. Okay, these are the photos. So what you right click on one of the photos in that folder, then you go to open, open with. Then with open with, you will choose Microsofty Office. Here it will say Microsofty Office 2010, but it's supposed to be Microsofty Picture Manager. This is the icon. You will be able to know the icon. This is the icon of the Microsoft Office Picture Manager. So you click and open. Have you seen? So this photo, when you open it, you will come out to edit. This is edit app here. When the Picture Manager, it has two edits. It has this editor, this toolbar. This is not what we use, but we use these edit pictures here. You click on that. When you click, then you will have a menu right. This side menu will appear. And this side menu, it has this component. It has autocollay. Then it has lightness and contrast, color, crop, size, complex. Sorry, Mr. Kibaya. I'm not seeing your screen. OK. Yeah, I can see. Let me see. OK. I'm going to stop this, then share with the picture I've opened. So this is the photo, the first one, which I've opened with the Picture Manager. The process is you right click, and then you open with Office Picture Manager. We can still see the group of photos only. So that's what the photos, that one you can see. Then let me show you the one I have opened. You people minimize it, cannot look. OK. Yeah, that's what I'm trying to do here. And yeah, now it has come. So I have the group of photos, and then I have this. I think you, now you can see. Are you seeing the photo? Yes, I can see. OK. So this photo, yeah, I have opened it with the After Picture Manager. You remember, let me let you remember the other photo in the folder I right clicked. Then I went to open with. Then I chose Office Picture Manager. And then I was able to open it. So when you open it with the Picture Manager, so you have when you open the picture with the Office Manager, that's what you have. And then you will see that you have a menu here up here. Let me first close this. So when you open, this is what appears. Microsoft Office 2010. Then you have file or editor view, picture, tools, something like that. Then on this file, you have chair, edit pictures, then autoplay. I say that when you open, you are going to have to edit. You have this edit at this bar, and then you have this edit at this bar. So for editing, we don't use this, but we use this edit pictures. So when you click on this, it will bring a menu on your sidebar on the right side. So you have this menu on the sidebar. So here you will see that you have brightness and contrast, color, you have crop, you have rotate and flip, you have radii removal, you have size and the compress. So for example, there we show that this picture is more than 7 megabyte. But I want to share it on an email. I want to share it on maybe Google Drive, OneDrive, without maybe losing much of my space. So for example, if I want to resize, this is what I do. You come and click on compress picture, and then here it is giving you options, document, web page, email message. In most cases, you choose document, because if you choose email or web page, it is going to make the picture very small. So in most cases, you choose document. And when you choose document, you can see that the original size of the picture, it was 7.2 megabyte. And now it is going to be compressed to there. Sorry for cutting. Actually, the point after this one, you say that we are going to use this edit on the lower bar. Then after that, I don't know some border was actually making noise. OK, may I have your question, please? I said you have to edit when you are at it. Yeah, the editable person here from the lower editing are then after that, where we go when we have to find the bar, and how or actually which one we are going to show. Then we work with you. Thank you. I said that they are to edit on this menu. You have this edit, the usual edit, which we work with. So you can see when I click on it, let me first remove this menu. So if I click on this edit, this is the usual edit we have for Microsoft Search, even Microsoft Word. Everyone, you have the card, the code, the grid, or the name, something like that. So I told you that when you open your photo with the picture manager, use this edit. This one, edit picture. It is edit picture. The other edit is just the edit. But this one is edit pictures. Are you seeing? Are you seeing? So when you click. I'm seeing. Are you seeing? Yeah, I'm seeing. I'm seeing. When you click on edit pictures, that this menu will appear on your right. Let me close it and then I. So when you see, there's no menu on the right. So when I click on edit picture, this menu comes. And on this menu, you have a number of options. You have light and contrast. You have color, then crop. You have rotate and flip. You have red eye, resize and compress. So we are going on compression. I hope you can compress your picture. So this is the picture which is open. Then you click on compress picture. So when you click on compress picture, you have a number of options here. Compress for dot main, web page, email message. And then I advise you that like in most cases, you compress to dot main. Because in some cases, all cases, when you compress for email message or web page, the chart becomes very small. And at times, a person might take my first difficult tool to create it. So you choose dot main. So when you choose the option here down here, you will see the estimated total size. So the original size is 7.20 megabyte. And then if I press OK, this is going to be compressed to 3.35 kilobyte. I think you can see how this software can actually compress the picture to a very minimal size, from 7.20 megabyte to 3.35 megabyte. So this means that if I'm going to share this picture on my email, it is going on to take up this space of 3.35 kilobyte. But if I'm going to share it in its original form, then it is going to take 7.20 megabyte. That is much space. So your email account here, it will be actually reduced to this. But if you compress, then just the minimal space will be taken away. And that means that your account will take time to get full. But if you don't compress, soon it will get full. And then you will need to buy maybe space or to delete whatever I've been saving there. So here, when you click OK, you have clicked OK you've seen. And here, nothing has changed. When you click OK, nothing has changed. Here, you go to Save. So you click OK, and then go up here and save. This is the icon for saving. When I click Save, you watch. When I click this icon, Save, here it is going to show the new size. So here, I click. Have you seen? It is now the original size. It is 140 kilobyte. And here, it is showing me it is cofist. So you've seen. Let me know if anyone has a question there. Because if you miss a point here, it will be very difficult for you to actually work with this application. Christine. Yeah, and I'll bring something. Yes, please. We are initially, when we are working in the old industry, and you need to share, initially, sometimes even kids can refuse. Some of the email, they cannot take more than 25 or 22. Sometimes, we tend to just drag the card down, up, up. And then you bring down. That one really can reduce the size of the photo and tumble into natural envies. Or it's still even if you can only make the size smaller. But I'm not saying actually, the volume are all the way teach on the email. That is to me, right? Yeah, sure. Thank you. Yeah, I think that's the right answer. Yeah, thank you for that addition. Yeah, sure. I think everyone has actually experienced that. When you, like sharing five photos, like you've mentioned, when they are not compressed, at times, actually, they are beyond the limit you are allowed to share for a single email to be sent out. So at times, you find that they are telling you, oh, it is above the limit. Then you remove one photo again above the limit. Then you remove another. And at times, even if the photo is very heavy, you find that you failed to send an email. So with this application, it can actually add up to the photos. And then you are within the limit allowed to send over your email. Yeah, thank you. So here, you can see it is compressed up to that. Let me, this is a single photo. But remember, in this folder, the folder I showed you, it has 233 photos. So can place in the video photo. Actually, it is time consuming. So in most cases, this is what I do. So this is the folder. And we want to work on these photos at once without wasting time working on the video photo. So let me open up. This is what we do. Again, within that folder where our photos are, you right click and open one of the photos. And then let me stop and share the photo. OK, this is the photo. That is the photo. You've seen the photo. Are you seeing the photo? Are you able to see it? Yes. Yeah, I can see one photo. One, two, three, four. Thank you. So this is what we do if you want to edit your photos, all of them at once. Look at the car side. You see now, I've opened just a single photo here. But down here, up here, you have these three icons. There's this one. There's that one. And there's that one. I don't know if you are able to see when I'm actually changing them. Yeah, I can see on the screen you are able to see. So these are the icons up here. Are you seeing these icons? This is the first one. This is the second one. And then this is the third icon. So if this is what I do, I use this icon here to show me all the photos in the folder. Then I click on one of the photos. And then I go to edit this edit. And then I say, select all. Are you seeing what's happening if I click on select all? So when I click on select all, then again, I go to edit pictures. And then this menu will again appear. And this menu will again appear. And then when, so these are photos which I've selected, all of them. And then I go to this menu, like in the first instance, then this menu appears. So if I want to compress, then I click on compress pictures. Again, I have this menu, document, web page, email, message. So that all these pictures, they are weighing up to 1.56b gigabytes. And then when I choose document, yes, taking time because there are many. Yeah. So I've selected the document. So you'll see that the original size, it is 1.56 gigabytes. And then all of these 230 photos, they are going to be compressed to 101 megabytes. So you can imagine from 1.56 gigabytes to 1.01 megabytes. I remember when you choose here and then you click OK. So you are seeing I've clicked OK. This time it is taking time. You can see it is processing because there are so many pictures I've selected. So it is taking time to have them compressed. Then after, I'm going to click save. So after it has done, you will see that I'll be able to have the cursor, the pointed cursor. And then I'll be able to click on the save button. Maybe as it is on compressing all the 230. Yeah. My question is, we have worked on a single editing and a group editing. Like if I'm selecting three from a group or four from a group of photos, is it going to be like that? I select some or I let it quite single them out? Yeah. Thank you for that question. If you are going to select like a few of them, you can still select them from group. You don't have maybe to cut them and then put them in a separate folder. No. You can just select those very few that you want to edit. And when you select them, then you click on edit. And then only those three, they will be edited. I don't know if I have answered your question. Yes, perfectly. So it is still, let me show you all. OK. So you can see here, we have the original size like this. Or I have already clicked OK. And now it's going to be compressed up to 101 megabyte. So now I have to click on save. Don't forget to click on save. Because if you don't click on save, then nothing will be worked on. Nothing. So here I click on save. And when you click on save, then it takes a few minutes. And then everything is OK. So here you can see, I don't know if that is captured OK. The screen has stopped, but let me show you. OK, I'm trying to pick the screen here. But yeah, here what I'm saying is that all the 250 photos, they are compressed up to 26.3 megabyte from 1.0 gigabyte. So you can see the level at which this can be compressed. Let me open it so you can be able to see. Yes, allow it. Yeah, so when I check these photos, all of them, now I can see all of them, the 200 and 26.3 megabyte. Remember, originally, we had 2.1.0 gigabyte. So that's actually how you can compress the photos to the size which can actually save you space on your email and your Google Drive on your Android. So for the last few minutes, let's again work on something. Let me stop this. Maybe if you have a question, we're not going to ask anything. If you finish like this one in save, where will you get them? Or I'll directly you compress. It is whereby you can get them because now they are in. Yeah, in that very folder. In most cases, what I do, like I copy the photos, then the original photos, I put them in that order. Then I create a sub folder within that very folder and I call it compressed. Then I copy what I put in the original into there. Then compressions. It does work. So I work on these ones in the compressed folder. So I don't have, again, to lose the original pictures. You remember, you don't have to lose the original pictures. You have to have them in their original form because at one point, maybe you want to print them. You can print a photo which is in this original form, not that one, which is compressed. The one which is compressed, it loses some clarity when you actually, when you print. So you remember that. If you want to compress, copy them. Put them in a separate folder and work on them in that folder. And when you save, then they'll be in that folder. When you get to maybe to have the original copy somewhere, then it will be here before you again to turn these ones you've compressed to the original weight. Yeah, it's okay. Let's work on something. Let me stop this screen. At them, let me show you, for example here, if you have this picture, these ones we go, I'm going to show you briefly. I know you can actually try them on your own. So we have this picture. Apple, I don't know if you can see it. Yeah, you can see, you can see that picture. So this is what you do. You again go to edit. We want to resize. Some of you have worked with the green card. You wanted to supplement a photo for green card. Notable. That's a US program. Most of the people they failed to come up with the required size, which is 600 by 600 pixels. And some of you, you go in the photo studio and when you mention of green card, then they have to charge you either because they know that you can't make it by yourself. So this is what you can, for example, with this photo. If I want to resize it to 600 by 600, I go to crop. This is crop. On this menu, you have crop. You click on crop. And when you click on crop, then, yeah, you see you can see. You can have these markings here. And here you can see left, zero pixels, right, zero pixels, top, zero pixels, bottom, zero pixels. Here it is showing me original. The original size is 1,024 by 768 pixels. Then the new one, if I choose, then it will be that it is the same because I've not chosen anything. So here, for example, if I want to crop this, like I'm moving, are you seeing? I'm moving. So you will see the meter down. It is also reading. I think that meter, it is reading. It is reading. And you will see that one size, one side, it is 600 pixels you've seen. And then the other one, it is 741 pixels. So what you do if you want the other side, 600 pixels also, times click OK, then this appears like that. Then you come again to edit pictures here. And then you click on resize on this menu. The size is there. So with this resize, you see when you click here, you will see that if you choose document, it will be like that. Then if you come here, it's like that. Then if you go again to edit, you go to crop. You will see that for it is the original size is 741, then 600. So if you want to come up with 6 by 6, this is what you do. You, for example, if I just move down, also the six changes, then if I move this, that this 6 we have 600 pixels. It is for the height. Then this is the 739 it is 4. That would be so. I only touch this and then you move up to 600. I don't know if you are seeing the meter moving. Yeah. Now you can see that it is 600 by 600. And that is the size which actually is required by the green card program. So it means that you can also take a photo at your home if you have a good camera. You just have a white background. You take with all your children and then use this program to edit them to the required size. Otherwise, if like you have 13 children, even if they are free with the charges in the studio for the green card photos, you will find that you haven't paid much money. Yet you can do it by yourself. So that is cropping and the size. These are the as you can actually try it by yourself. For example, autocollect. If I go to autocollect, you will see how it is changing. Autocollect, when you click autocollect, it changes. I don't know the screen here I can see, but you can try it on pieces to be able to see. Then lightness and contrast. These ones also you try. You just move the meter and see how the... Here, if I move this, you can see. If I go to contrast, here I was at a lightness, contrast, then this. So these ones, you just need to try it. You computer work, it needs like when you are actually making practice. You don't have to be seeing. So that's what you need actually to do. You need to practice and then you'll be able to catch up with most of these details. Maybe if someone has a question, if you need some writing or a long time to please pick up the links. If you don't have this picture manager on your computer, you'll be able to travel it installed. Yeah. If you have a question, ask. My last question is, now we have none for a photo. What about video? Can we also edit and compare this? That is my question or it is it? Yeah. Thank you for that question today. With this one, I've never tried it to... I've never tried it to edit a photo or a video with it because I've not seen an option with that. But in the future, we are going to look at that. How to edit the video. So that one. I appreciate it. Okay. Question, do you want a bit? Yes, please. Suppose that you have cropped your photos, you made it looking very well and maybe sometimes you want to add something like writings. So, could you do it with this app? No, with this app. No, I don't do it. But usually, I do it with the paint. Do you know that the application Microsoft Pay also comes with the Microsoft Store? Yes. Yeah, like for example, if you right click, then you choose paint, then it opens. For it, it has some editing options, which are not included in this one. So you are able actually to insert a logo. This is what I do. For example, if I want to share organizational photos or online, and I want to include a logo. So I open it with the paint, then again go and insert a logo within the same picture. Also, you can also do it with the Microsoft Publisher. For it, it has most of those options, where even you can write, you can insert, you can merge them. These ones, you need actually to try them out and see how they work. Because if you don't try them, then it is very difficult for you to master most of that application, what it can actually, how it can work with your project. So you need to try every now and then. OK, thank you. You're welcome. Are there other questions? If there are no questions, let me I'm uploading this and I share with you. OK, let me share with you the link. So you are able to download. OK, this is the link. Let me know if you're able to access to the folder. OK, yeah, I can see. Go ahead and phrase it, but you have access. What about others? Are you able to have access to the folder? So that folder is going to, you will find that document where it can guide you out to install the Office Picture Manager to your PC. And also, those links from TechSoup, Global, TechSoup connect. Yeah, maybe with that we have 12 of these, even at this point. And I thank you for keeping time and for attending this session. And with that, I'm going to sponsor the TechSoup robots of providing where we can actually share with others in this area of technology for Shashabloot. Yeah, thank you, everyone, have a nice day. Thank you.
