photos

[Douglas Cerna]

This is my (dumb/complicated) process to extract images from a .pps file:

1. Copy and rename the file to .ppt
2. Open the .ppt in LibreOffice
3. Save as .odp
4. Open the .odp file with file-roller (Archive Manager)
5. Extract the Pictures directory with the images.

Hope this helps.
