|  PP07S-3.4.2 You can recolor clip art and other objects to match the color scheme of your presentation. For example, if you use a flower clip art as your business logo, you can change shades of pink in the spring to shades of orange in the autumn. The Recolor Picture Quick Style gallery (New!) provides a variety of different formatting combinations. To quickly see if you like a Recolor Picture Quick Style, point to a thumbnail in the gallery to display a live preview (New!) of it in the selected shape. If you like it, you can apply it. You can also use a transparent background in your picture to avoid conflict between its background color and your slide's background. With a transparent background, the picture takes on the same background as your slide presentation. Recolor a Picture

Did You Know? Why is the Set Transparent Color command dimmed? Setting a color as transparent works only with bitmaps. If you are working with an object that is not a bitmap, you will not be able to use this feature. You can't modify some pictures in PowerPoint. If the picture is a bitmap (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, or .PNG), you need to edit its colors in an image editing program, such as Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Paint, or Paint Shop Pro. You can reset a picture back to it's original state. Click the picture you want to reset, click the Format tab under Picture Tools, and then click the Reset Picture button. |
