The logo and the face both are not right. They are not in their original proportion. The logo has been squeezed from top & bottom. The face has been squeezed from the sides (right and left).
When you are re-sizing images on your slide, such errors can happen. One absolutely simple way to avoid such a problem is to lock the aspect ratio of an image. Aspect ratio is the ratio between height and width of an image. If the original ratio is 2:1 and you lock it. Even when you shrink it or enlarge it, the ratio will not change. Hence, the image will not go out of proportion.
Before re-sizing any image, you should lock the aspect ratio. In MS PowerPoint 2010, right click on the image -> Format Picture -> Size -> check the Lock aspect ratio box -> Close. We are done.
Hi Vivek. This is a very good tip, and definitely help to avoid the distorted images. However, something is really frustrating is to copy and paste a PowerPoint slide from 4:3 standard aspect ratio into a PowerPoint presentation with other page size like the widescreen 16:9 - Even if the lock aspect ratio is checked, the image is distorted :(
