In the image to the right, the proportion is good only the size is too big So, I moved it to the lower-right corner of the white area and used the upper-right corner handle to make the image a little smaller. If not, find a different image that has more pixels. Check your images in Slide Show view to see if they are still clear. The image will look grainy (and unprofessional).

If you resize an image too much, especially to make it larger, you run the risk of losing resolution. Just say no to the temptation and read on below where I explain what to do if the shape of your image needs to be adjusted.
