title: Picture Transparency Object in PowerPoint VBA
body: <p>PowerPoint added native capability for picture transparency (<em>without having to create a shape</em>) <a href="http://www.thepowerpointblog.com/image-transparency/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">in late 2018</a>. See that linked article to see what I mean.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to figure out what/if an appropriate VBA object exists for it (there's not much online since it's a fairly new feature). I've tried the traditional <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/powerpoint.fillformat.transparency" rel="nofollow noreferrer">FillFormat.Transparency object</a>, as well as a few other analogous attempts. (Basically, have been searching the VBA documentation up and down for an hour or two).</p>
  
  <p>Any thoughts?</p>
