My Method For Taking Care Of PNG Files


My Method For Taking Care Of PNG Files


Scenario:  I was asked to create a “Portable Network Graphics File” (PNG).  Sometimes PNG’s are used for situations such as Masteheads of websites, digital book covers for Soft cover books such as on Amazon, landscape type set-ups etc.

1.  PNG’s are often used where there is a larger area to cover and the JPEG type photo might not be enough to properly fill in the area with a certain quality of clarity.  

2. Many people will usually create their PNG from a JPG photo.  The problem is, that not every JPG will look good when converted over to PNG.  I have an easy method that will let you know if the JPG is a good candidate for PNG conversion.

3.  Open up PowerPoint.  Load any theme you wish.  Bring in a Blank Slide Type.

4.  Right click on the slide and go to Format Background.  

5.   Load your JPG.  It will fill up the entire slide.  Look to see if it pixelates or if the loaded photo is clear and sharp.  If clear and sharp, go to File Save As, Save as PNG and the system will pause and ask if you wish to convert “All Slides” or  “This Slide Only” and you choose This Slide Only.

6.   Now, wherever you choose to use that PNG it should look great.

7.    That is my personal testing procedure for JPG to PNG.  It is easy to use and you will know right away whether that picture is a good candidate.

   Extracting All Hyperlinks From A Document: Scenario :  The attorney has submitted to the WP Center a large file for editing.  This file contains many hyperlinks as well.  The attorney asked us to (besides editing the document), to extract all hyperlinks to a separate document.  They want to have handy, a listing of all of the hyperlinks that were used in one easy place to go through them so that they do not have to go throughout the document looking for them.

   MS Word Legal:  The Strategy Session Volume 2 Getting Ready and Structure First:  Clearing up those Issues From The Very Start That Tend To Hold Us Back… Authored by Louis Ellman  Clearing up the very thing that confuses most new MS Word users that is of course  Page Numbering and Section Breaks!   I wrote this book only a few years ago but it holds up fine and our students use these methods every day! We teach for the public, top-tier legal firms, outsource legal staff, large corporations and we consistently see one thing that they all have in common: They do not have a routine that they use before they ever start editing a document.  Also, they do not have a routine that they use to properly segment, page number and title all items relating to structure.  This is across the board.  This book goes over these routines piece by piece and this is the same vital and unique info that we personally share with our students including ma...
