FAQ
What is the difference between transparency and setting a transparent color?
- Transparency adjusts the overall transparency level of the entire image.
- Setting a transparent color removes one specific color from the image.
- If you want to soften the whole image, use transparency first. If you only want to remove one background color, a transparent color setting may be more suitable.
How can I create a watermark-like effect with image transparency?
- Insert the image you want to use as a background.
- Select the image and open the transparency settings.
- Set the transparency to a higher range, such as around 70% to 90%, then fine-tune it based on text readability on the slide.
How do I restore an image to a fully-opaque-state?
- Select the image again and open the transparency settings.
- Set the transparency back to 0%.
- If the change was recent, you can also try resetting the style to restore the image appearance.
