Military Photos Transparency Tutorial
How to apply transparency to a photo in PowerPoint
All photos in the Military Photos Collection come both in JPG and
Photoshop formats. The images in Photosop format have a masking layer removing the
background and giving you the option of recuperating the clipping path.
For PowerPoint
we will use the JPG format.
Place an image into your presentation, using "Insert --> Picture --> From File...". Use the low-res CD.
The placed image (JPG) will have a white bounding box, that you want to get rid of.
With your image selected, use the "Set Transparent Color" tool from the "Picture" floating toolbar, and click over the white background of your image.
PowerPoint will make that white color transparent.
You can eliminate any white lines with the "Less Contrast" tool.
That is all, enjoy.
