Making an image transparent in powerpoint 2010 | PowerPoint forum

Hello Jenny,

Hope you enjoyed your Microsoft Word Advanced course with Best STL.

Thank you for your question regarding changing the transparency of an inserted image in PowerPoint 2010.

When doing this in 2003 you would use a washout which produces a brightness setting of 85% and a contrast setting of 15%. You can adjust these settings to vary the transparency according to your requirements.

In 2010 from the format ribbon select the Recolor button and if you choose the button on the left of the bottom row you will find that the result is very similar to what you will achieve in 2003. If you then wish to adjust the settings, you can then go to the Corrections button and make whatever changes you feel are necessary.

Try this out!

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,
