How can I take off the edge of a shape in an irregular manner (like cutting with scissors); I know about cropping and resizing. But want to create a non-square image. Thanks. > How can I take off the edge of a shape in an irregular manner (like > cutting > with scissors); I know about cropping and resizing. But want to create a > non-square image. Thanks. Hi Kevin, which version of PowerPoint do you use? There is no such "scissor" in the program, as you describe. You will get the best results by using an image editing program. But you can try to draw a freehand shape and fill it with your picture.

In addition to the other suggestions, you could also draw a freeform shape and fill it with the background (use Format Object and the fill dropdown on the Colors and Lines tab, not the fill paint bucket icon on the drawing toolbar), then place that on top of the picture you want to mask out. But definitely, an image editing program or something with pre-set edge tools would be better.
