7. Browse to find the desired image and click on its file name
or icon.
8. Click on Insert to paste the image into the page.
9. Using the Picture Tool bar, the image can be edited as
desired. The image size requirements of the ATLAS are similar
to what is needed for PowerPoint, so no change in file size is
required.
2) Copying other images (not Rotation and Slices images)
In this process, which is called a screen dump, the whole screen is
copied. The desired image or part of the screen is then cropped, sized,
and placed in a PowerPoint presentation.
a. If the selected image is to be used immediately,
1. Click on Print Screen key on the keyboard. This will copy
the whole screen image into the computer.
Note: This file should be copied and placed into the ATLAS file on your
computer that is being used for the presentation. It is important not to
change the file locations once this link is established. Changing the file
location will inactivate the link.
8. Select the file and click OK. This will link the PowerPoint URL
Forwarding.htm file to the action button you have made. The link
will only be active when the presentation is in Slide Show mode.
3) Finding and Copying the URL Address
1. Browse through the ATLAS and find the page that you wish
linked to the Power Point.
2. Highlight the entire URL address from the Address line
found at the top of the page by left clicking on the address.
Then,
3. Right click on the address, and
4. Left Click Copy.

5) Conversion to grayscale
If an image is to be used in a handout that will not support color, the
image should be converted to a grayscale image to conserve file size. To
convert the image to a grayscale image:
1. Go to Image
2. Highlight Mode
3. Select Grayscale
4. Select Flatten Image
The image will be converted into a gray scale image with
no color data. It can still be adjusted for contrast and
brightness and may well benefit from that exercise.
6) Removing the background of an image
If the image is to be pasted into a presentation that has a white
background the background can be removed and the image will appear to
be floating on the page when it is pasted into PowerPoint. To remove the
background:
1. Select the Magic Wand

Troubleshooting
If the ATLAS runs slowly on your computer, copy it to your main harddrive. This allows your computer to more easily access the program and
its contents.
If your computer shows an error message when trying to display images or
models from the ATLAS, the following system requirements may remedy
the problem:
