The last method is the most difficult one. To use part of a photo you can use the Remove background feature.

In the photo below I would like to use only the performing artist and the musical instrument she is playing.

Select your photo and under Picture tools, Format tab, click the Remove background button.

PPT makes a suggestion, all the magenta parts within the frame will not be used.

Click the Keep changes button.

Here are all the corrections that are needed:

This is the end result;
