Thanx...but that only makes some parts of the image
invisible. I was hoping to make the image semitransparent
so the background is viewable through the entire image..

Depends which version of PPT you're using. Also, what shows up depends on
which versions of PPT will be used to view the presentation.

The best thing to do is to create the transparency in image editing software
and import the image into PPT. That way will
work/display in all versions of

Do you have an image editing program like Photoshop or Photoshop
Elements?

If you do - it's rather simple to create an evenly transparent image.
Open your image file, double-click the Background Layer to make it
editable. Change the Opacity % as you wish. (If your image is huge,
you'll want to resize it before inserting into PowerPoint.) Select
File>Save for Web and choose PNG-24 as the file format. Save and Insert
the new image into PowerPoint.

You can use your drawing tools, fill them with your photo (instead of fill
with a color, you fill with the picture).

You do this by right clicking on say, a box, that you drew in PPT. Choose
Format Auto Shape. Go to Fill then Fill Effects, then select your photo.
Click OK. Adjust your transparency level. Click OK.

yup! That worked very well. Thanks.
I presume there's no way to do this from with PPT
itself...

Yes, but as I mentioned earlier, what shows up depends on which versions of
PPT will be used to view the presentation. This type of added transparency
won't show up in PPT 2000 and 97.

is it possible to make an image insert semitransparent?
