Insert pictures with new photo album

[dcalistrat]

When I insert pictures with new photo albums, some of the pictures are compleately distorted. These are pictures that I cropped before inserting.
Is there a way to clear this. If I insert the same picture with insert picture the picture is OK.

I'm guessing that when you 'crop' the picture you are loosing the 'proportion' and powerpoint is putting the picture in a certain sized area.

It's important when you crop the pictures to keep things in proportion.

eg.
4:3 (a ratio of 4 wide x 3 tall)
16:9 (a ratio of 16 wide x 9 tall)

On most software you can hold down a certain key on the keyboard (eg. shift or ctrl) to keep things constrained and in proportion when cropping.
