A presentation with boring slides is a sure way to lose an audience. The key to a powerful PowerPoint slide deck is the addition of visual interest. Use PowerPoint picture transparency to add a faded image or background that won't overwhelm other slide content. Fade a Picture in PowerPoint
To add a picture to a slide and change its transparency, go to "Insert" and pick a shape from the "Shapes" menu, then use "Shape Fill" to place a picture of your choice within the shape. With the shape selected and the cursor within the shape's boundaries, click on the right mouse button and select "Format Picture" from the menu that pops up. " Transparency" is available under the "Fill" option. You can adjust the amount of transparency as a percentage, with 100 percent being fully transparent. Note that you cannot fade a picture that you insert directly on a slide without first adding a shape.
