How to Add Image Opacity w/ PowerPoint 2007
09.6.10 4 Comments
Inserting images w/ varying degrees of opacity in PowerPoint 2007 is not as easy as it seems. From the main screen of PowerPoint 2007, the only option you have is to Recolor the image (via Format Menu) and set the Transparent Color. However, this effect is not what we usually want for our images. It has no control to what degree of transparency you can apply.
Fortunately, there’s a simple trick that we can use to get our desired transparency effect.
Follow the steps below to create a semi-transparent image in PowerPoint 2007:
1. Click Insert
2. Select “Shapes” and choose the most appropriate shape for your image.
3. Draw the shape.
4. Double Click the shape and select “Shape Outline”.
5. Select “No Outline” for your shape.
6. Right Click your shape and select “Format Shape”.
7. Go to Fill, then select “Picture or texture fill”.
8. Under “Insert from:”, select “File…”
9. Locate and select the image that you want to use.
10. You can now change the “Opacity” by adjusting the “Transparency” dial.

This is fantastic!
It worked the first time I tried. I use it for my Powerpoint Presentations, which I give to U3A. Although I had a Powerpoint lesson from a computer literate U3A member, he had no idea how to add either sound or a semi-transparent image. I managed to do the music without help but this I could never have done without you.
I’m very proud to be the only member who can do either of these things.
Thank you so much.
late reply. but i really appreciate the comment. thanks.

It is not always about following a recipe letter
for letter. When you’re making an expensive purchase online, it’s nice to know that the
company will stand behind its product. This is an exciting take on
salsa that uses apples instead of tomatoes and flavors it with the root
of the Mexican jicama vine.
