Such great video! I have been using Inkscape for figure preparation which is great, but so time consuming when you want everything aligned etc. Trying this right now! Thank you!!
Hello, thank you for the valuable totorial.please could you tell me how do you create the image holder in powerpoint and how do you export it to word or save it in folder.
Hey, I tried this many times but it doesn't work for me. Am I doing something wrong or maybe word doesn't allow this anymore? I used the holder as you did, but when I copy and paste it into each table cell it shrinks it more and more, creating more of a rectangle, rather than a square.
No it does not. That’s the whole point. The resolution is preserved, in fact is can be whatever you want it to be depending on the size of the source images. Most microscopes are only 1-2 megapixel anyway.
your tutorial seems very helpful, however, I have an issue - my microscope images to be entered are a different size (rather rectangle 16:9) and the blue reference I have created is square. So then when I click replace the figure, it just gives me the rectangle that I originally had. I was hoping to be able to insert the pictures as a square without the need to crop each of them individually and also to avoid any differences in sizing that would mess up the scale... Do you have any solution/recommendation to this? Thank you!
Do you have a recommendation on how to make the ratios of the reference image and my microscope images the same? I.e. easy way how to change the dimensions of the microscope images?
Thanks for the video. Can you please tell me how to copy this table from word to PPT, as it does not appear as same as word while pasting into the PPT.
the first question I would ask is why are you pasting it in to PowerPoint but I guess if you want to present the data you might need to do this. When you copy make sure you Paste Special into PowerPoint and select PDF (Mac) or Metfile (Windows) then it will look the same.
Hello Dory, This video helped me tremendously. Does the file format for the pictures I'm inserting have to be .JPG., or can I save them as TIFs,etc? Just considering formatting possibilities, as I am dealing with saving figures in PAST.
Hi Dory a little help, for some reason it's not working for me anymore. When i change the picture with my microscope picture the size of the image changes with it!
That's good for a lab report, but I have a concern that not always you are allowed to use a table as an image holder when you submit a scientific paper
@@DoryVideo i prepared my histopathology pictures photoplates by using it. it took less time nd efforts compared to photoshop. thank you for preparing such a wonderful video.

9 years later, this is still incredibly helpful!
Cheers!
This is awesome! This video and your other videos really made my life a lot easier. I should have been aware of these things a lot sooner. Thank you.
thanks!

Thanks
this video is saving my thesis
Thank you, this was very helpful! My lab reports look more professional now.
glad to hear it!
This is so helpful 😍 thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Make square, right click, save as image! Simple
I have also same question
Same as above. Make a square in PowerPoint, right click, save as image… done

I think you are doing something wrong, I do this almost every week
What about resultion? Many journals want tiff images with 600dpi.
This handles that, if the original images are high enough resolution to start with the exported PDF will be the right resolution.
Great
I used ppt !
Let me try this too
Thanks for sharing
Good luck!
Nice tutorial! But, does this not decrease the resolution of the overall image containing all the individual image plates?
No it does not. That’s the whole point. The resolution is preserved, in fact is can be whatever you want it to be depending on the size of the source images. Most microscopes are only 1-2 megapixel anyway.

Hello Dory,

ANY picture format works
That is really amazing
how do u make the holder image finding it quite difficult
ANY image editing app. You COULD even do it it PowerPoint and export as image!
Thanks for the video. Very usefull
That's brilliant! I only have one concern, will this reduce the quality or resolution of the image? Please answer!!! Thanks !!!!
Hi, thanks for the comment. No the images remain at their native resolution and print quality is excellent!
Hi Dory a little help, for some reason it's not working for me anymore. When i change the picture with my microscope picture the size of the image changes with it!
thats odd, are you sure you are using the right click and selecting a new image?
Thank you very much... Can you please do a tutorial on how to use this for western blot images?
Will do
And how do you insert A B C D and things like these for each image?
You can extend the table to include extra columns or use text boxes although I'd avoid using text boxes as they always seem to lead to trouble
Thanks for the tutorial, very handy! One question though, how do you save the image panel for presentations and/or publication?
Cristina Silva save as a PDF. Most journals want pdfs these days.
Cristina Silva for presentations copy the table and in PowerPoint use the "paste special" and select "enhanced metafile" in windows and "PDF" in Mac.
That's good for a lab report, but I have a concern that not always you are allowed to use a table as an image holder when you submit a scientific paper
Not at all, you will need to submit your figures as PDF or similar so this is a perfect way of doing it.
how we make the holder for pictures
Watch the videos it tells you
very useful...
Glad you thought so

This is not working for me 😢
Have you followed the instructions exactly, I can assure you it DOES work!
@@DoryVideo yes I did , buh have some spaces at the sides. I wanted it to be like yours
Are you sure the aspect ratio of the images you are inserting is the same?
