Inserting watermark in Powerpoint

Anonymous

I want to insert a picture as a transparent picture or a watermark - I don't mind which - as a sidebar on all my slides.  I can't even seem to make just the picture itself transparent, which would be enough.  When I insert it as background and make it transparent, it makes the whole slide transparent giving it a grey look.  It also inserts the picture in a very large size, and doesn't allow me to resize it .  I can't understand why I just can't make the picture itself transparent.  I'm working in Office 365.  Thanks.

    Glad you are sorted. For the record though it does work. If the image filled the slide it sounds like you didn't right click to select the shape.

    Yes, this wasn't working for me - it kept pulling the picture right across the page.  I ended up simply inserting individual shapes into the master and adjusting the transparency on just the shapes.  That gave me the result I wanted.   Thanks though.

    You cannot set transparency on pictures in PPT. All is not lost though try this.

    Insert a picture and set to the size you need.

    Create a shape the same size as the picture

    Cut the PICTURE 

    Right Click the SHAPE > Format Shape >Fill

    Choose Fill type Picture / Texture and then choose from Clipboard.

    Set the transparency with the slider
