After you’ve placed a picture in your Publisher publication, you can make substantial modifications to the picture (but not to the picture file itself) to make the picture look exactly the way you want.
With the picture selected in your publication, click the Color button, and choose one of the following to specify how you want the image to appear:
Automatic to use the original color
Grayscale to use shades of gray instead of color
Black & White to use only those two colors
Washout to create a faint image
Click to use these tools to adjust the contrast and the brightness in the picture.
Drag a Sizing handle at one of the corners or sides of the picture. Use a corner handle to resize the picture proportionally, or use a side handle to distort the image.
Place the Cropping pointer over a Sizing handle at one of the corners or sides of the picture, and drag the pointer inward to crop the picture. Click outside the picture to turn off the cropping tool.
