How to set the picture colourn transparent?

RE: Pictures

Hello Lucia,

Hope you enjoyed your Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 Intermediate/Advanced course with Best STL.

Thank you for your question regarding changing the transparency of a picture.

There are two possible ways of doing this:

1) First select the picture... then select the Format ribbon on the Picture Tools contextual tab. In the Picture Styles group click the Picture Effects option and from the Presets section select Preset 8. You can create further changes in the 3D Options section.

2) Select the picture... then select the Format ribbon on the Picture Tools contextual tab. In the Adjust group click Recolor then Set Transparency colour. Clicking a colour on your picture will then remove that colour. You may have to click a number of times in different areas to create the effect you are looking for.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
Regards,

Rodney
Microsoft Office Specialist Trainer

PowerPoint tip:

Use templates to save time

If you need to set up a presentation quickly and don't have the time to add the colours and formatting yourself - take advantage of the ready-made templates in Powerpoint 2010.

When you create a new presentation in Powerpoint, you can select a ready made template from the Office.com section in the File menu.
