I take a closer look at PowerPoint 2013 to see if its a worthwhile upgrade, or just the same old PowerPoint bloated with new, unnecessary features.

You don't need specialized skills to make a picture fit a specific space. A few basic skills--resizing and cropping--are all you need.

Fortunately, PowerPoint 2013 has some amazing new graphics features, as well as updates on older ones, that let you add customized eye candy to your slides.
