Picture Editing

[*Colleen]

I used to be pro with this PowerPoint, lol, but I completely forget how to
use a lot of useful tools. I remember there was a way so that I could make a
picture fade, b&w or even just have it cut a certain way, such as a star or
spiral. If this question makes no sense I apologize. I know of other ways
to create this effect but I forget the most efficient. Please give me
step-by-step directions.
Thanks

Few places that teaches you animations.

For fading, you can use fade effect. Also, here's how you can fade to
translucent:

For black and white,
click on the picture to bring up the picture tool.
Click Color > Black and White/Grayscale.

Check this out on making a picture in a star-shaped:
