Join Jess Stratton for an in-depth discussion in this video Removing the background from pictures, part of PowerPoint for Mac 2016 Essential Training.
- Now that you know how to change…the layering order of objects,…you can start doing some really neat things.…However, you'll certainly run into this situation…quite a lot with your photos and images.…I'm going back to an older slide…that has pictures of my Executive Team in it.…Now you'll notice that this one picture…stands out a little bit because it's not…as nicely polished as the others.…It has a light gray background on it and because of that,…it's making my presentation look far less-professional…than it could look.…PowerPoint gives us a great tool…called a Background Eraser Tool.…
It's a tool that makes it easy and will impress your friends…and let everybody think that you're a graphic designer.…To use the tool, click on your image,…the Picture Format tab is going to appear,…click Remove Background on the left-hand side.…Immediately PowerPoint is going to assume…what it thinks you want to remove,…and what it thinks you want to keep.…Everything it's going to remove from the background…is shown in light pink.…
