Gradients on Pictures?

D

david@damprodu

Hi there,

Is it possible to apply a Gradient onto a picture?

For example, a transparent gradient where my picture fades into the page
background? I do not want to use Photoshop or any similar image manip
program? Can I do it all in Word?

If not transparent, can I at least make it gradient/fade into the background
colour? I.e. white.

Thanks, all the best,
David

You could do this in PowerPoint by putting an autoshape with appropriate
transparency on top of the picture. You won't have nearly the control you'd
have in an image editing application, though.

Then, if you really need this in Word, select the pix and the transparent
autoshape, group them, and right-click and save as picture. Select PNG, then
insert the PNG into Word.
