Once you have selected an image, click on the "Insert" button. The image will be inserted onto the slide. You can then resize and position the image as desired.

The animation will be added to the selected object. You can then preview the animation by clicking on the "Play" button.

Here are a few tips for creating effective presentations:

Use a consistent design: Use the same fonts, colors, and layouts throughout your presentation. This will create a professional and polished look.
Keep your slides simple: Don't overload your slides with too much text or images. Use bullet points and visuals to make your points clear and concise.
Use high-quality images: Use high-resolution images that are relevant to your topic. Avoid using blurry or pixelated images.
Practice your presentation: Before you give your presentation, practice it in front of a mirror or with a friend. This will help you to feel more confident and to deliver a smooth presentation.
